madth3: Oh yes you would. But perhaps you did not wanted to talk about bondage, perhaps you wanted to make them think you wanted to talk about bondage.

Wait, it's not paranoid thursday yet, is it?
And here I was thinking you were smart enough to see past those lies. Oh well, I see the new Steam features has already started to dumb down the intelligence of the people around here. :-)

GhostwriterDoF: And yes, those Europeans can be "sensitive" when talking about their historical events... :P

ddickinson: Europeans? I was thinking of somewhere further away. :-)

Sadly I am not just talking about said nation twisting things for political and propaganda purposes, it was also done for greed, arrogance, and ego. Sadly so many people now believe these, well, lies, that it's hard to ever try to show a different prospective. Generally they are blinded by a mixture of arrogance, ignorance, or are simply misled or ill-educated.
I have a sneaking suspicion, and an inkling of the Country in question, you are hesitant to mention. ;)

But I would venture to say, in such a large Country today, full of wide open spaces, and people filled places, and because of its size, it’s widely varied population-wise, betwixt its thinkers, and stinkers.

Greed, arrogance and ego are the forces of Darkness in Politics, as opposed to the forces of Light, empathy, public service and justice, which are constantly working against each other, though the ego represents more a conflict of those forces within ones' self.

Ah, the clueless may be among the many these days, especially with the decline of quality education, but the truly greedy, arrogant and ego-driven selfishness, of those who happen to be the loudest among us, are the voices of the few, the tainted minority. The majority of the public are good hearted when given a chance, when not being misled, misdirected and ill-educated...

ddickinson: I did think about sharing some random facts each day, just a little short fact that I noticed from some of the books. Maybe that would be a good way to start, similar to when I used to start each day with a quote.
Sounds like fun... I'm sure you'll think of something, especially after your workload winds down a bit.

Started a new char and I'm fine too,thanks.

l0rdtr3k: You know I'm just messing with you,right?

ddickinson: Of course I do. What makes you think I was taking it all seriously? :-)

GhostwriterDoF: Oh I know you're working hard these days, (and weeks).

And yes, those Europeans can be "sensitive" when talking about their historical events... :P

The twisting of history for political and propaganda purposes floating about in this age is in some ways a form of "modern myth", but will have to endure the test of scrutiny over time to become Legend... I'm looking forward to someday hearing anything you would like to share about things I might not have learned about through my own explorations of history (either in the Thread or through Chat).

It is not very becoming of man to lie, and for him to try to besmirch the reputation of a lady. :-)

madth3: I should've known.

*sigh*

ddickinson: I would hope that you are smart enough to see past all these lies? If I had intended to talk about bondage, then I would have come straight out and said it, not tried to hide it behind something else. Instead, those dirty minded boys twist things and make everything dirty.

So how are you, are you having a nice day?
ok im ashamed of myself now... :(

You are not using the "awesome" new account system, the "incredible" chat, or the many other new features? You must tell us how you manage this, I know Hyper would love the old PM system back, and Moon would defiantly love her shelf back. :-)

GhostwriterDoF: ...
I completely agree with you about not everyone falling into the worse category of the ignorant and arrogant, I did not mean to imply that with my post. As you said those unfavourable people are the minority, but they are often also one of the more vocal. I understand that most people are not inherently so clueless, often simply misled. When given the chance they are just as open minded and good hearted as anyone.

GhostwriterDoF: Sounds like fun... I'm sure you'll think of something, especially after your workload winds down a bit.
I might start them tomorrow, just a little fact with my first post of the day. They will just be small things, statistics probably, short one sentence facts, at least just for now. When I have some more free time I will expand upon them. I am sure once things ease off I will get some more passion behind it and try to make something interesting out of it all to share with the thread.

Soccorro: ok im ashamed of myself now... :(
So you should be. There is a great lack of true gentlemen in the world today. :-)

(But seriously, there is no need to feel ashamed, 'tis all just some silly fun.)

To "better support our growing library of games and many of your biggest requests" and to "greatly improve your overall user experience on GOG.com". I leave it for you to decide if you think the last point is true.

What we are seeing now is the beginning of the "new features" implementation, not the end results,
so things are subject to change as they are changing... ;)

Well it is improved. We are now able to rant on whole new levels ;)
