Foreigners like 1.3 million Swedes.

As soon as the native Americans start emigrating to the Middle-East and Africa, the circle will be complete.

Yeah its 2017.

SJWs lost the Great Meme War of 2016. Political correctness and double standards are evaporating.

Racism is very bad. That being said, try to have a thicker skin when using the internet.

Milo is my favorite gay man btw.

Maybe we need canadian servers for those special little snowflakes who may get emotional when they hear a bit of rough language...

I am guessing he has not been. Even if he had been or is living there, that assessment he gave could be inaccurate.

I liked some of his points when I first started listening to him. Then I realized he just as worse as the people he criticizes. He also commits to many logical errors in his lines of reasoning. Also when people start saying Liberals are x and x. Or anyone who commits to fallacies and generalizations should not be taken seriously on an intellectual level. When he fixes that and starts to be a bit more impartial then I'll swing his way again.

just use your block button or mute and stop whining


One, racial and incendiary language is against PGI policy, and the players are using thier server to communicate. So the OP has a right [and a duty if you ask me] to complain.

Two, many children like my son play this game. I don't want him or any other young men to hear this crap. I do like it that we both enjoy the game together.

To label his complaint as whining is dismissive and displays a lack of understanding.

I don't report foul language if someone drops an f-bomb, but if it is pervasive or used hatefully, I do.

THERE ARE VERY GOOD REASONS FOR THIS!

If we want this game to continue into the next few years, we need more players. That means being compliant with some basic rules of civility and decorum. It isn't too much to ask to behave in a mature fashion while in cyberspace.

But any business, even in America, can deny you service if you behave badly. You have freedom of speech, yes. Use it responsibly or PGI can tell you to please take your business elsewhere. That's PGI's right. It's also our right to be here in cyberspace without having to tolerate insults and obscene language.

Because trying to kill me in a giant robot is the pinnacle of maturity? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

I am offended by you being offended. In the name of sensibility and maturity I demand you do not fire a shot in any match hereafter and just stand still to receive my justice.

Well, good thing I haven't mentioned the black mexicans I've been enjoying lately (tequila+coffee liquor).

Liable to be misunderstood by one of you easily offended types and I'd get blocked and reported before any mutual understanding was achieved.

You're attempting to devalue my point with a claim that I am a hyppocrite for demanding that everyone follow rules of conduct in a wargame. The game is fictional, but derogatory and incendiary hate speech is not. The vulgar language is real.

Both, however, have rules. Follow them please. It isn't too much to ask.

That drink is a strong one but the sarcasm is weak. Full respect for the joke, but you're exaggerating the real position that I and others are taking. Please follow the rules, or PGI will follow the policy.

No one is likely to ban you [or even complain] about you mentioning a Black Mexican. But that's not what the OP was talking about. It isn't even close.

Emigrate? They're not even allowed outside the reservation!

I'm going to have to disagree on that one. It's not even been 100 days and it's already hilariously worse than ever --- and all I am hearing is silence (i.e. hypocrisy).

I am more interested in his remarks on Islam and all the wonderful things that would happen to him as a gay man in some parts of the world. Some of the more secular places like Turkey are more progressive but that same place has forces that want to undo it.

No it is actually entirely an artificial construct. Different languages, religions and cultures have different values.

Trump is playing 11D Chess against opponents on a Connect Four level. Whenever it looks like Trump takes the bait you have to actually do a double take and wonder if its intentional..if there is a bigger finish. He most likely leaked his own tax return and trolled the hell out of MSNBC. He did the same thing with his John Miller alias LOL.

Wait and see what happens when they drop the bomb on the wiretap story. It will be glorious.

11D was confirmed by String Theorists btw
