Cool. I was not sure about this when I posted the 'Gift link' but he may, for all I know - have to get an (free) account at Humble Bundle or he might just have to enter his email to claim it. I have a bad habit of sometimes doing things before I read all of the instructions about how to do them.

I just got this one but I already own Civ III on both GOG as well as the physical disks/CDs so here is the 'Gift' link for any who need a copy and either miss the Humble Bundle offer (expires in like 30 hours or so I think) or for whatever reason cannot use Humble Bundle...

That is not what I (or anyone else that I know of) am doing. I am merely pointing out that when an already violent kid, in the habit of taking and sending cell phone pictures of guns he apparently had access to and beating people up, goes and assaults a random stranger and gets shot who should...

For the most part I see the sense of what you are saying. However you are ignoring something very important which Liberals (on my side of the political fence) seem prone to ignore: Justice. Sure this is not typically of mass importance when dealing with shoplifters and stores (as they usually...

Spoken like a true Trump-eteer (Trumpist? trump-humper? What do we call those guys now?).. Just invoke some nebulous "status quo" or "establishment" and accuse dissenters of adhering to such rather than address points or arguments.

I don't think 17 year old Travon had any arrests but this is not at all unusual. I know at least a half dozen people in prison right now who had no arrests before they turned 18. His only real "altercations" with police were related to his vandalism of his school (and possessing a burglary...

I grew up in Tacoma, WA. The city that was for a long time right behind Los Angeles for gang violence. Back in the mid-to-late 1980s if you were not in a gang and surrounded by gang members, especially if you were not black or Samoan, when you went outside you stood a good chance of at least...

To be clear -and speaking only for myself- I fully understand that Zimmerman is an ignorant, probably very racist, sociopath and a wimp with an ego problem. However the issue here is that Travon Martin was a far more violent, ignorant sociopath who felt like he was being followed and his...

The other criminal in the same van said this before he realized he was messing up the BLM narrative. A few days after he said this he tried to change his story to be in concert with the 'cops are all bad' narrative.

Glib but does not make your case.

What happened was that my fingers (I am a hunt-N-Pecker typist) got ahead of my brain and I typed a word that was not even in my head really instead of the word which was in my head. Again, how does this change my point? Is your case a linguistic one as opposed to a logical or rational one?

I did not say they did. The case I am talking about a man was driving away in his car and the cop (wrongly) shot him dead. It was a younger cop and last I hear he is in prison (I think he cut a deal with prosecution). As for the case you are referring to I don't think I am familiar but I would...

Very doubtful. In the 20th century, up until the 1990s I would buy this (to an extent depending on how far back you are going) but now it does not stand to reason. This is another conspiracy theory and fails for the same reasons they all fail. How would any cop pull off such things?! In this day...

We are talking about different cases then. The one I was referring to was captured on the policeman's body camera and showed a black man with long hair trying to flee from a young cop who was questioning him about something and the cop shot him through his car window and killed him.

And John Locke described himself as a "rationalist" (which usage of the term was he employing BTW?)? I hear the same 'argument' for Creationism, Racism, Homeopathy and dozens of other claims and positions. The 'If you know what I know you would know it is true!' line does not work for me...
