If gold is too influential as a lowbie then we should look at 'why'. Maybe there should just be better cleanses from healers and less heal-heal spam or put a level cap on heal-heal since it's mostly only necessary for dealing with things like immolation/etc. I don't think the answer is to make it so that it's more or less impossible to get gold - because every gold chby Death_Claw - Main Board

It doesn't really matter - point is there's no proof of anyone cheating and even if they had, screw the refs for not doing their jobs. I'm no Patriots fan either, I can't stand the Pats - but I also feel like it's so overly dramatic and silly to make such a claim. Instead, maybe the refs should do their jobs.by Death_Claw - OT Board

Nothing he's ever said or done has ever made me think he was "pro-CF" or doing stuff for the actual existing player-base.

I think legacy choices is still though going to boil down a lot to the makeup of casters & priests vs rangers in Outlander. Hands/pole-arm is a very strong combination as well because you have better defensive options against casters. It has a lot of direct damage which is good against rangers who have good passive defenses, decent lagging options and very strong defensive options. What itby Death_Claw - Main Board
If your reasoning for posting isn't "I thought this was a cool fight" just do us all a favor and don't post it.

I don't agree with what happened to those cops - but I'd be lying if I didn't note that I saw it coming and predicted it to my wife when the cop got a grand jury pass for choking out that guy in Staten Island.

We have lots of women in my office I speak with daily, casually and yeah - some of them have shitty experiences but they also all brush it off as "life is full of assholes" and move on. If anything, most would laugh at the thought of reporting it to the cops because it's not that important to them. Not because the cops would ignore them.

Wasn't my intention to sound like I was yelling at you ;). I tend to use a colorful style of English :). But I'm not generally a cranky guy. Feminism though is supposed to be about equality. As in - treating men and women no differently based purely on their gender. And I'm down with that. I don't punch anyone, I think it's equally wrong for people to punch each oby Death_Claw - OT Board
I hate those guys. I feel strongly about women's rights, which is why I'd like to see people actually trying to effectively argue it with evidence instead of relying on silliness like "Tammy got called a slut therefore unequal!"

And that's my point, they're installing cameras because of *CRIME* on the subway. Not because of this specific thing.

Assertive men are considered douchebags. Promiscuous men are considered idiots. Sorry - are we basing this discussion on shit people believe in high school or the real world?

When Elystan or wrathpuppet say "Forget statistics, forget facts, forget what happens to other people - just be nicer than normal to women" they're being very misogynist in extrapolating that men need to "white knight" these poor defenseless women.

Your assertion is that police do not enforce the laws. Their assertion is that the figures are under-reported. You're drawing a conclusion that they're under-reported because they aren't enforced when there's no evidence of that. To prove your point you'd have to have an idea of how many crimes were not followed up on and how that differs from other crimes that are nby Death_Claw - OT Board
I wasn't aware there was any controversy there. I follow the laws proposed regarding firearms since I own firearms and in 100% of circumstances it's a charge led by liberals.by Death_Claw - OT Board
The reason why women get hit on a lot is because there's a large (I dare say majority?) that still expect the man to make all the moves.

You can't just rage against nothing or some vague concept of culture. If you want something you need to elaborate on what it is you actually want and what you'd like to have happen in a series of steps that can happen. And that's my issue with feminism.

You are not allowed to carry a gun, concealed or open, in NYC. You're not allowed to even possess a handgun without a permit. So yeah, they do want you to "not have any guns".

A liberal perspective is that no one ever needs a gun. Yet...unsafe...violent crime...you can't turn around and throw that back when it suits a different argument (one where there's no solution to that will immediately take effect).

On one hand you don't believe people should be able to protect themselves with a gun - something that negates physical advantage of an attacker...on the other hand you are upset that "women feel unsafe" (irrationally based on statistics) because they don't have the physical prowess to beat up any random group of attackers that attack them.

We have laws in this country...laws against discrimination that make it easier for you to sue to penalize employers who discriminate, laws against copping a feel or sexually assaulting someone or sexually harassing someone in the work place.

There are obviously people out there who "slut-shame" or have social beliefs about women that are misogynistic - but from a legal standpoint there aren't a terribly large number of equality issues.
