    I will never understand these people . Or how they enjoy it so much. And not due to lack of trying , I simply can't get into it.
    What would America & Canada be like without professional sporting activities?

    College in America is awful. It's a complete racket with a captive audience and it's designed to wring as much money out of students and parents as possible.

  • It's especially bad because more and more jobs are requiring college degrees too. For instance, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get a job as a cop without a criminal justice degree.

    Gone are the days when you could find a good, skilled labor job straight out of high school and make enough to support a family. If you're working class, you basically have two options: a,) college degree with mountains of debt or b.) economic marginalization.

    It's a stupid, 'need money to make money' system.

    I hope to be a police officer one day and, in Canada, you don't even need a degree in criminal justice to be accepted. It's kind of silly actually, they only require a bachelor's degree in anything to get in, probably because they want to know if you're actually capable of finishing school.

    I also heard that it's more difficult to be a cop because of minority issues. There are tons of white male police officers where I live, and I knew someone who was top in all of his classes only to be refused because they were looking for women and minorities to serve.

  • Agreed. I don't understand why people like her so much, I understand that she is a dynamic and interesting character who is troubled, but that doesn't make her a good character. She is incredibly needy, selfish and tends to lash out regardless of what the player does.

    I don't know how to word this without offending everyone, but I hate the whole blacklivesmatter thing. Like Markd said All lives matter. Also find it annoying how when a African American person gets killed everyone riots, but when a police officer or white person is killed no one blinks an eye.

    And I hate political correctness, but I guess that isn't very unpopular lol.

    You should blame the dirty cops for all of it.

    1.) It kind of bothers me that police brutality has become a racial issue. Plenty of white people are getting beat up or killed by police too. That said, I can understand the frustration. Community policing doesn't really happen anymore, and a lot of police departments would rather bust heads than take the time to interact with the folks they're supposed to protect. Also it's worth nothing that black lives seemingly only matter to BLM if there's a white guy or a cop pulling the trigger.

    2.) No offense, but I can't stand the anti-PC crowd. If you say something bigoted, you can be damn sure I'll call you out on it. It's not "political correctness gone mad!!1!" it's you getting it trouble for being an asswipe. I went to a school where black students were routinely called niggers behind their backs (by students and staff), so a little PC reaaally doesn't bother me.

  • I've been called racist for not supporting BLM. I find that quite weird since I support mandatory body cameras for all police officers. I guess my lack of interest in ascribing race to a problem is now racist?

    It's funny, because even if you support BLM or oppose police brutality, they shun white people from the movement. As someone who studied grassroots politics in college, that shit just completely blows me away. They're shooting themselves in the foot by making it an exclusively black issue. There's a bunch of white people, myself included, who feel strongly about police brutality. But BLM prides itself on alienating everyone who isn't black and angry. Even the Black Panthers realized the importance of teaming up with non-black leftists sometimes. As you mentioned, it's a massive catch-22. If you oppose BLM, "you're racist". If you support BLM "you're white, nobody asked for your fucking help!"

    Also : everyone should be in favor of body cams IMO. They keep everyone honest and greatly simplify misconduct investigations. Plus, I imagine body cam footage would be great for training recruits.

  • "Everyone should be in favor of body cams."

    Yourself and I don't quite see eye to eye on the enormity of police brutality, but I definitely agree on this point. On the occasion where something is done maliciously on the police forces' side it would be nice to simply turn on the feedback and say, "yes this happened" or, "no this didn't happen". Like the case with the man that was shot and had the taser planted on him. The cop very well may have gotten away with murder had it not been for the good summaritan. Not only would the cameras be able to prove if the actions taken were justifiable after it has taken place, but knowing one has eyes on him/her would prevent such actions from happening to begin with (if they aren't justifiable). It really is a "win all around" situation. I'll gladly chip in a bit on taxes to make this happen.

  • Yeah, those are definitely the people I am defending. You caught me.

    Good job adding examples to the extention of BigBlindMax's claim: "you're white, nobody asked for your fucking help!" I'm not black, therefore my input is irrelevant. Brilliant logic.

  • It really is. But I suppose that's the way things are these days. The city's own police department would so easily trade in a good, honorable and intelligent officer for a lazy and selfish one for the simple reason that he's white. Because that will obviously make you look so great and accepting, won't it?

  • I've never watched the show or attempted the game, so I don't have an opinion on either of those. I've tried reading the novel and it's honestly so boring to me. Everyone tells me it's going to get better, but truth be told, fantasy really isn't my cup of tea.

  • That's my hesitation. I want to try the game, because honestly, TTG has done a phenomenal job with all of their games so far. I'm tempted to play the game, but I'm not sure if I'd get the best out of the experience if I didn't read the novels or watch the show first.

  • Well, in the beginning, you may not understand what's going on but later, everything kinda becomes understandable. Although I think you're doing the right thing not playing the game without watching the show or read the novels cause you'll surely be confused af. I necessary had to watch the show before playing episode 2 of GoT because I got totally confused in the first one.

  • Maybe someday. My sister is a major Game of Thrones fan and I'm spending a week with her in December, so I'm assuming we'll watch something. I'll probably try give Game of Thrones a try, but I don't think I'll be able to successfully read through the novels anytime soon.

    Funny you mention LotR. I can't sit through movies that are insanely long (had a hard time with Star Wars even), but my uncle has been playing Shadow of Mordor lately and I'm actually growing more interested in the franchise.
