The "Your mom" was a GIGO reply. Don't take it so seriously. Your perception of my character is far from the mark. Have another hit.

I happen to have that on Steam, and I will do so. Thanks.
Thanks!
Completely agree. I'll quote myself for no other reason than I just 90sec ago stated the same thing earlier and you completely encapsulated how I feel. I have a feeling that there are quite a lot of us like this.
"We expect it from China because they are [more or less] (not us, so therefore) a potential enemy, like Russia, like latest Islamatyrant, blah blah.
(going US centric) We were raised to believe that the US was better than what we're finding out it's doing. We were taught to believe we are a shining beacon of freedom, democracy, that our way is the best way - or at least it's the best way done so far - because look at all of the failings we see around us.. we take the moral highground making us better than the tyrants who do the stuff that we despise, etc.
There are a lot of Snowdens out there.. not necessarily in what power or knowledge we have, but that those of us that feel everything instilled in us about our nation's greatness is turning out to be complete bullshit."
Owww- are your feelings hurt?
Your mom.
Agreed. Said fallacy was committed by "Currently Awake". He changed the subject when the topic "startups are helpless against force from the NSA" became "nothing American can be trusted".

I'm pretty sure every nation that has ever existed has claimed "freedom" as one of the attributes of its citizens. I've never heard of one that didn't. Can anyone help me out here?
Eurogamer's criticism seems legit, but begs the question, what constitutes a "mature" plot for a FPS? An 18 certificate doesn't imply a promise of maturity, does it?
The 80s were the worst thing to ever happen to us.
The US Government is a corporate controlled criminal & terrorist network and your pathetic attempt to point fingers elsewhere will not change that.
All power corrupts, I'm not claiming exception, and you're a pathetic anonymous coward.
Let me guess...YOU live in the nation with the trustworthy government, and your country's companies make nothing but the BEST. Also, your feces is fragrant, like flowers.
'It's basically an all-you-can-eat buffet and we're the fat guys. The sizzlers trying to narrow the front door so we can't get in.'
Who cares? That's the point of a buffet.
The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
