The Gaming Den

You do know that "Surrender to me and we'll call that Bipartisanship" is what the Republicans have been doing since Obama was elected (even before he took the oath of office). All Presidents LIE. All Presidents tell the people what they want to hear, while doing what they think needs done....

Yes, that's the problem.
If you want an Iranian Revolution to stop dead in it's tracks. Have the US offer it's full support. People will flee from it like rats on a sinking ship.

Or, y'know, an actual thing from the Anne Rice source material that at least one vampire did, for moral reasons.

And that worked out so well for him.

in oWoD telling if someone is a Diablerist requires someone with the right power. Unfortunately, over half the clans have said power. It's pretty trivial to tell if you're a Diablerist. This makes you punishable by death, unless you have a lot of political clout. You know what, you can live a fairly...

I don't so much want term limits, as I was a retirement age.

I'm tired of 85 year old Senators who can barely wipe their own ass getting elected over and over again.

Given our history in Iran, the US has to walk a seriously thin line when dealing with supporting Revolution in Iran.

Presidents have a term limit and people don't keep heir heads down and wait for the president to go away in 8 years tops.

In Starship troopers it's a multiple reasons:

1) Women do 3d math better in their heads then men
2) Women are more cool under pressure
3) When you're being shot out of a ship in what amounts to a bullet, its nice to have a female voice be the last thing you hear.

Why am I trading if I own a couple of planets? Why not just.. stay on my planet, and see how many different women I can fuck in 1 day?

Infrastructure improvement projects, housing projects for the poor. Outreach programs, Aid programs. There's literally a ton of stuff you could do with them. And I'm not sure that 1 year's worth of McDonalds employment taxes is really going to make a huge difference on the National Budget. 1 Year is...

Course, I still wish that in order to run for President, you had to have served in the Armed Forces (Reserves/National Guard do not count) Why? The best wartime president the Republicans have ever had was Lincoln, who never served in the armed forces. The best wartime president the Democrats have e...

Here's a thought: in order to run for public office, you have to have worked in the private sector for 5-10 years. Interesting idea? Why? I still do not understand the 'awesomeness of businessmen' falicy that the right has. Workign in the private Sector does not bestow some special 'i know what I'm...

Minor nit pick. Federalism is strong local goverments and a limited central government. You, sir, are a "Monarchist" who believed in a strong central government. Personally I see the national government as the most corrupt. But that is besides the point. It's a hell of a lot easier to fix...

Yeah, sadly everything the Tea Party stands for makes me want to get a gun and shoot someone

Well, not literally, but.
I'm a Federalist who thinks that nothing is more corrupt than Local/State government :") sorta the opposite of Small Government.

I vote Democrat, not so much because I approve of everything they do. But because when Democrats are in power, usually, not much gets done. They don't do all sorts of crazy shit i dissaprove of. If you put 3 democrats up for a vote, it's not clera how they are going to vote. Democrats tend to not vo...

Isn't that very similar to the american version of multiculturism?

I just re-read Revolt in 2100 for the 4th or 5th time. Heinlein really is my favorite Science Fiction writer.
I think Heinlein, Brust and Butcher could keep me happy in literature for years.

I ran a vampire game once, where the Vampire in question regretted having been turned into a vampire, and hated it. She was spending her unlife trying to find a way to undo it and die a good death, so she could return to the Karmic Wheel. The cool part, was that the harder she strived to survive lon...

I mean, the Sabbat have parties, where they starve a Garou, then release it in a downtown city and HUNT IT DOWN. And the Camarilla finds ways of covering that shit up. I'm pretty sure you going all "frenzy" once a month isnt' really a big issue for Vampires. My problem is that.. given that...

I never got why Garou was supposed to be Tragic. Other than, you're fighting a war that you're losing, because you're ancestors (and you) are arrogant fuckpricks who killed your allies in the war because they weren't wolves like you.

Speaking English in France will only get you so far. It'll keep you in the overpriced tourist trap areas. But there are literally MILLIONS of people in France who do not speak a word of English. First off, there's a big difference between Monoculturism, and what America has. You can be multicultural...

That, and Age onset Torpor, and hiding from the Damn Sabbat.

That didn't even make any sense.

Which flies directly in the face of the Tremere background info where they developed Thaumaturgy as a way to regain access to their Magic, after undergoing the Vampire change.

Tremere supposedly developed Thaumaturgy, and yet in every splat book some new group has always had thaumaturgy.

Local Pet stores only sell frozen skinned rats/rabbit babies to 'feed your snake' not live rats.

Only Tremere Elders should really have Thaumaturgy.
