  1. Same

    Didnt stop me buying two the other day though :lol: Wont stop me buying the Telltale GOT game either. Currently 20% off, so waiting to see if they knock any more off before release

    Bought Prison Architect, seriously considerng buying a name and bio for a prisoner in it to put my mate in as a jimmy saville type chracter

    I also have games not played from steam sales, maybe even as far back as last summer. Yet I still bought more. Steam says I have 347 games on it. They really need a fecking fliter to remove games from your search that you already own.

    One of my sales purchases was prison archtect, only played the tutorial and a fast attempt at a small prison but it seems really cool. Had no idea what the point of the buying prisoners is though. Do they appear in everyone else's game?

  2. It was put together by a schoolchild. Thus the right to eat ice cream. There's enough bad things going on the region without quoting this bollocks.

    Whoever put it together is irrelevant.

    If it's true then the israeli ministry of education apparently claimed 'this right does not fit with the laws of democratic countries'.

    I.e the government support this as being a right and have admitted to the world they aren't really a place which fits with the laws of democratic countries.

    Does anyone have a reputable source which can confirm this?

  3. think you need to read the last few hours on the bralt.

    Will that somehow mean I was talking about child abuse, bearing in mind I don't post there?

    Are you really that stupid in defence of utter Rangers supporting morons ?, he congratulated No8 who eventually through his bigoted agenda wound up a few posters to the point it got locked.

    And yes I'm angry that some cnut went out of their way to make fun of rape victims to score some cheap points.

    I'll be very interested on your response now to know if you support No8's actions or condemn the use of victims of a heinous crime to score cheap points ?.

    I congratulated no8 on getting BRALT shut down.

    I still do.

    Now you're accusing him of making fun of rape victims.

    I'm pretty sure that's worse than what he didn't actually accuse WHP of.

    Also, you just happen to make fun of the victims of fraud on a daily basis in that particular thread.

    You really can't help yourself accusing other people of exhibiting your own flaws, can you?

  4. Not a fan then, Jock?

    Of BRALT?

    Obviously not.

    It's a bigot fest full of trolls.

    The hillarious thing is the mods have locked it after someone claimed they were going to police Scotland about an accusation.

    WHP can't bring a libel action because WHP is an internet persona and not a person and thus can't be libeled.

    However people posting under aliases can be charged with mallicious communication or for lesser infractions where they have no purpose other than winding people up, breach of the peace.

    You could argue that at least half of the posts there are technically criminal yet it only gets shut down when someone threatens an impossible civil action.

    Who knows what the mods here are smoking?

  5. That's just, well, wow....

    I'd ask you to post proof of this post of mine, if it wasn't for the fact that not only have I never posted, said or thought such arrant nonsense,I would be surprised if such an opinion had originated from the stupidest supporter of either arse cheek. Not even you, ffs.

    Ok dear.

    So rangers supporters have a 'typical' type and a 'collective hive'?

    Any other groups this might apply to? People of a certain race, religion or sexual persuasion maybe?

    Still, at least when you're being prejudiced, it's positive discrimination you're applying.

    Thanks for saying the typical rangers fan hates sectarianism and cheating scum.

    I get the feeling that this wasn't actually your intention though but you might have been too dumb to realise.

    You do realise that sexual orientation, race, color and such are not a matter of choice, don't you?

    "Pyoor predgudissed,so yez ur!"

    Dry your fucking eyes, Sonny.

    That certainly looks like you trying to argue that things which a person chooses can't be a target for bigotry.

    Are you going to pretend that wasn't you who made that post?

  6. Justify sectarianism? How the fùck do you get that from anything I've ever posted?

    Bloody hell, are you taking it as your mission to make the other bears on here look sensible?

    As for showing compassion, all I did was show a wee bit of concern about Bendarroch, and check to see if the wee loon was still around. Doesn't make me Mother Theresa, but you read into it what you will.

    Simple, you claimed someone can't be bigoted against rangers because supporting rangers is a choice.

    So is religion.

    In trying to justify your own bigotry you tried to claim sectarianism isn't bigotry.

    You were just too dumb to realise at the time and now you are pretending to be ignorant of what you posted.

  7. If you'd read the match thread, you'd know that not only am I unable through health reasons to travel up for the game, due to family commitments I'm not even going to be able to watch it live. More to life than football, and all that..

    This is before you get to the fact that I've avoided both temples of bigotry for thirty years or so.

    As for travelling on a bus full of delusional fools, I'd rather stick forks in my eyes. Thanks awfully for the offer, though.

    You're ill?

    c**t with cancer imo.

    good grief jock calm yourself down. Your almost as bad as Bennett with the whole slavering endless pish.

    WKR tried to claim you can't be bigoted against something a person chooses, like football team or religion. He then tried to troll a poster who hasn't been here in a while and you call that showing compassion.

    Take off the anti rangers specs and see the man for the vile scum he is.

  8. What the actual fúck did that sound like in your head, because I'm sorry to have to break it to you that, while most of the words above are spelt correctly (and well done, you, for that), when placed together in the order you chose they make no sense whatsoever.

    Is it a new game? Rearrange to make a coherent sentence? Because again, apologies for being the bearer of bad news, but it's just not going to replace Bendy Bingo. Thanks for playing though.

    So are you now going to pretend that you didn't just try to justify all sectarianism in your idiotic attempts to justify your own bigotry?

    Oh dear.

    so wrk shows compassion for another person and you respond with being an arse. Just when I thought you couldn't sink lower you do. Complete fud

    Could you quote him showing compassion for someone?

    It isn't appearing on my screen anywhere.

  9. The worst reason for legalizing but unfortunately the one most likely to cause it's legalization.

    From Moneyweek

    It’s hard to imagine that Bob Marley would have had much time for the private equity industry.

    He wouldn’t have thought much of spreadsheets and pie charts, and the only options he was interested in involved having a good

    time. But that hasn’t stopped the private equity boys taking an interest in the greatest of all reggae singers.

    This month we learned that the Marley estate has teamed up with Privateer Holdings, an American buy-out firm, to launch Marley Natural, which it aims to turn into the first global cannabis company. The power of the Marley name – he was, after all, virtually synonymous with the weed, and campaigned for its legalisation – will, they believe, resonate powerfully with smokers everywhere. The deal reflects the way that the movement to legalise cannabis is steadily progressing in the US. So far, it has been legalised in Washington and Colorado, and other states now permit it for medicinal purposes (which can, of course, be fairly widely interpreted, especially late on a Friday night).

    What used to be an entirely underground, illegal industry is starting to go mainstream, with plenty of legal cannabis companies being set up to supply the market. Marley Natural aims to be the first global brand, with big money behind it, but no doubt it will be joined by many others in time. Buy British for your bong That raises a question for the UK. The debate on the drug is usually framed in medical or ethical terms, and those are important issues. But there is also an implication for industrial policy: if there are going to be global cannabis companies, wouldn’t it be better if they were British? After all, there is no question this is going to be big business, whether you approve of it or not. The UN estimates the global cannabis market, both legal and illegal, to be worth about $150bn a year. In the US, Privateer sees it as ultimately being worth in the region of $50bn a year.

    The figures are not terribly accurate at this stage – the dealers and consumers are not yet very keen on filling in forms or reporting output statistics. But any way you look at it, it is going to be a lot of money. Whether cannabis is eventually legalised everywhere remains to be seen. But trends that start in the US usually go global. What we view as acceptable or not can change a lot over time. Fifty years ago, homosexuality was illegal, but it was fine to drink a bottle of wine and then drive home. Now we have gay marriage, but drink driving is unacceptable. So there is no particular reason why attitudes to the drug shouldn’t continue to change radically as well. If they do, the industry is completely up for grabs. The companies that have been set up are tiny. Many of them don’t even have bank accounts, because while US law allows you to sell the drug in some states, it doesn’t always allow you to bank the profits. But over a few years, legal cannabis will probably evolve into a standard consumer goods industry, with a few global giants establishing dominant brands, in the way Budweiser or Heineken have in beer, or Marlboro in tobacco. That will take time, money and expertise, but it will certainly be rewarding for the people who get it right. Britain likes to think of itself as at the forefront of growing industries, and this is the kind of thing we are good at. From Diageo in spirits to BAT in tobacco, the UK has a record of building global consumer-goods giants in products that are often addictive and not especially good for you. And it’s not as if we are exactly short on singers of our own. If the Marley brand can go global, how about the Pink Floyd brand? Or the Keith Richards brand? Either would seem just as powerful. From ethics to economics What that would require, of course, is for the drug to be legalised in the UK. So long as it is banned, legitimate companies can’t be started. Right now, whether it should be allowed or not is viewed as simply an ethical or medical issue, which is fair enough. But as it gradually becomes legal elsewhere, then it becomes an economic question as well.

    After all, the government gives plenty of support to industries that are morally questionable. The arms exporters, in which the UK is a leading player, are not obviously superior to cannabis distributors. Neither are alcohol or tobacco manufacturers. It is hard to argue that our bankers have really made the world a better place, but the government gives them plenty of support. Even if you disapprove of pot personally, that is no reason why the UK should not be a player in the industry. Legal cannabis could generate lots of jobs, and plenty of wealth for shareholders, as well as taxes. Colorado just gave its citizens a tax rebate because it was collecting so much money from the industry. David Cameron has already promised tax cuts in this country without having much idea of how to pay for them – this might well be the solution. But having the first mover’s advantage will be crucial. If the UK got in early, it could create some major companies.

    If it doesn’t, the US and other countries will. Do we want to miss that opportunity?

    I'm pretty sure 'marley's' has been copyrighted and / or trademarked and has been for decades in the hope it can be used as a brand name for selling weed.

    It may be an unban myth but apparently all the big tobacco companies have done similar and tried to get legal protection for some potential names if it ever does become legal in that way.
