 I'm simply worried that you and the others are hurting yourselves, unnecessarily, worrying about these things.T2K is an awesome game, my favorite of RPGs, I love the ideas and questions it poses, about the darkest fears of people like me that grew up in the Cold War.The real world has many, many real problems, and I think one of the biggest problems is the apocalyptic mindset. If it's all going to end, then we don't have to solve any problems, do we? I grew up in a family that specialized in emotional abuse. It was a rule of fear, by a coward that couldn't face his own shortcomings, and the fact that his own choices led everyone around him to ruin. I survived. The biggest thing I've learned in life is that, no matter what color, creed, sexuality, or nationality we are, there are only 2 kinds of people: You can build up the ones around you, or you can tear them down. I'm doing my best in my life to build others up. But I'm starting to wonder here - threads about "Sovereign citizens". Threads about "prepping". Now, the push in this thread that the End is Nigh. It's just sad. There are some great people here, fine minds, creative writers. It's sad to see the doom-'n-gloom.

Boys, I have to carry Pepper Spray to check the mail. My life and virtue are regularly threatened on teh Interwebs, the GOP candidates go to rallies in a town 45 minutes away to hear a preacher say that folks like me should be slaughtered without trial as "an affront to Gawd", and my GF's parents belong to a church that says we aren't even human.
You want to worry about existential threats? Be my guest. Perhaps Straight white men *should* spend more time being afraid, but I truly don't wish that.

"Fear mongering is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end. The feared object or subject is sometimes exaggerated, and the pattern of fear mongering is usually one of repetition, in order to continuously reinforce the intended effects of this tactic, sometimes in the form of a vicious circle."

Now I need a bit of clarification

I would like to know which GOP candidates were at such a sermon and when. I would like to know which church states that you are not human. I would like to know why you posted that Straight white men should be afraid. And I would like to know if your post is or is not a doom and gloom as you stated you did not like them.

I have no problem with Turkey shooting down the Russian aircraft. The Russians were given fair warning, both just before the shoot-down and on previous occasions, and it's well known that they just love to push boundaries when it comes to other nations' airspace. So I say suck it, Russia. Arrogant pricks.
The deaths of one, probably both pilots, that's likely a war crime and I'm not down with that. The destruction of the Russian helo sent in to rescue the pilots? Also suck Russia, suck it hard. The fact that the rebels used a TOW missile to finish off the helo brings me just a little extra piece of joy. Does it sting Russia? Mmm, yes. Yes it does, doesn't it? Feel the sting, Putin, you monomaniacal murderous savage. Trigger for WWIII? I doubt it. Russia will stew on this and try to find some way to give Turkey a punch in the face right back, try to regain some badly dented prestige. I await their reaction with interest.

The Russian plane was only in Turkish airspace for 17 seconds apparently. The Turkish planes shot it down while it was in Syrian airspace.
The video showing the destruction of the helicopter isn't particularly conclusive either - there was little evidence to say where or when the video was taken. It could be just more propaganda by either side. The Russians to justify striking back, and the rebels to say "look what we can do". I'll be waiting a few more days (at least) before making judgement. Quote:

Australia hasn't signed the full document. If our enemy isn't following the convention, then we don't have to either.
And I think we almost all agree that Bronies are a war crime in and of themselves.

Russia still has problems with it's military, there's a reason Cubans were brought in to crew the armor. Putin will use the time of Western weakness to gain strength and influence.

Apparently, one of the SU-24 crewmen was rescued. This piece is a concise update/analysis of the developing situation.

Absolutely. Virtually everything we've had so far is basically just opinion and certainly should not be taken as law. Only time will show us the truth.

Well credit where it's due to the surviving SU-24 pilot - he must have been paying close attention during his E&E training. Hiding in the woods and remaining uncaptured until the rescue team got him out. Respect.
