    We need to communicate better. Lefts and Rights should work together instead of fighting each other.

     

    And BTW, thanks for the nice WW1 comparision. the soldiers of our emperor really screwed up. :P

    Indeed we do! 

     

    And what can you expect when you are pretty much the only one left in the Central Powers still fighting against everybody else (minus Russia)? :please:

    I've been saying for years that the progressive social justice types are the ones that are creating their own boogeymen. The PC culture that suppressed peoples legitimate concerns and opinions on things such as immigration and race relations are what gave rise to Trump. The demonization of whites on the internet and on college campuses are what fueled the growth of the alt right.

    Social Justice IDpol ---> Alt-Right White IDpol

    Antifa and leftist political violence ---> Sturmabteilung (coming soon)

    One form of extremism gives rise to another

    :P I didn't really look at it too much... Nonetheless, it would be better if people like myself could find common ground with the right. The key word, though, is could...

    I'm used to the title referring to a certain group of people I vehemently disagree with -_-

    I would hope that could come to pass as well :)

     

    And I know, I have seen some of your posts in those threads. It was a cheesy title that me and my sister came up with as to try contradict "street fighting" :adorkable:

    You say Trump was associated with KKK, but how much? You need sources for your claims. And there is a pic of Hillary hugging some ex-KKK guy too. So I am not sure how much he truly is associated with the KKK so everything you say, without much evidence it can't really change the mind of someone who is aware of inaccuracies mistakes and propaganda. I think any candidate would fall though because its the kind of people who tend to be attracted to that position. Also I think Hillary lost because everyone assumed she would win, so less people voted. Also wasn't Nixon an actor before? Trump just played his cards right and people are right when they say the presidency is a popularity contest. It doesn't get whom is most qualified, it gets whom is in the spotlight the most 

    You are talking about my "guilt by association" argument :). You really do not need to look far for those examples

    I never claimed that Trump was actually in league with the KKK, I believe that was a misunderstanding on your part. I'm sure you know what the term "guilt by association" means? 

    It is a very common fallacy, that is used in arguments often. "Because Joe said he liked hamburgers and the head duke of the KKK said the same, Joe must be a KKK". Hamburgers in this case have been associated with the KKK and anybody who likes it, supports them. 

    This is the "guilt by association fallacy". 

    Because political extremists threw in their support to either Hillary or Trump, they were associated with these groups through "guilt by association".

    'Because these groups choose to endorse this candidate, he must be deeply associated with them'. :)

     

    There were many reasons as to why Clinton lost. As to an actor, I believe you are talking about Reagan ;).

    I agree there needs to be a stop to the violence, but wasn't there some billionaire hiring antifa, and he did this stuff to other countries too? He is using the PC movement for financial gain. Also its kind of ironic the 'pc' movement is being violent which is not pc.

    You are talking about George Soros. I have heard that narrative often and the more I hear it without any concrete proof, the less I am willing to believe it. Soros has also been accused by people like Infowars of inciting unrest and protests here in Iceland. I don't see what he would gain

    So there is no excuse to say we are confused and leave it at that, or to let our emotions control us.

    But it is not being left there, is it? No excuse has been given at all in this blog, but rather, explenation. With explenation, people will be able to handle situations the right way better. This is a call for ending political violence :)

    Also the reason why people do not have dialogue, is because they do not accept that they could be wrong, they are not trying to understand others. They are just trying to assert their stance, which is why the right calls the left 'ideologue's. Because they simply are seeking validation for their stance and agreement, rather than proper discussion. Self aware discussion should have both sides ready to admit they may entirely be wrong at a moments notice if severe enough evidence contrary to their position presents itself. Identifying as something, comes at a cost, for both the right and left.

    Does not mean at all that a dialogue should not be pursued :)

    I agree we don't need war. But the title was making me cringe.

    This is not about war, unless you are possibly referring to a war of ideologies? :adorkable:

    Pay no heed to the title. Judge not the book by it's cover ;)

    "

    There .. are ... four ... Spoons!"

     

    "So I am cheating here"

     

    No you are not, the cheat is "thereisnospoon". That is how you get infinite Mana in Warcraft III.....

    Jokes aside, that was a very interesting read. To see how you have came by other people on staff and non-staff, what your first interactions were like :D 

    A little insight is always interesting and fascinating to read ;) Thank you :3

    My deepest sympathies Jeric. I hope you and your daughters will continue to remain vigilant through this. I have no idea what it is like to either lose someone you love so much, a life partner. Nor do I know what it is like to lose a mother. I can only barely imagine the pain. 

     

    All the same, best wishes to you and your daughters.

    instead I would exercise my contrast vision playing fps games and turning down the brightness alot and then even wearing sunglasses on top of that, while on a treadmill and changing the sensitivity between minimum and maximum in a cod game before.
     

     

    Holy moly!! :o Respect! B) 

     

    But yeah, I have heard that with pro SC2 players, it's more than just training yourself with being fast at reflexes and repeating a lot of things over and over again. But a lot of stress yes. The games are really fast an often very unpredictable when against a human foe. 

     

    Does this fast reading involve being able to read what your opponent is likely to do or any other likewise material where you try to read into another person quickly and determine what they might do?
