Are you even being realistic? Yes, I'm sure that most immigrants from Africa find it to just be one click away via the internet. :rolleyes:

Now, now. You just know that immigrants from the Congo are in touch with their fellow tribesmen.

Sure, they may wear a suit and have a styling haircut, working in sales and accounting or whatever, and smile nicely at everyone as they get coffee at Starbucks ... but at night, when no-one is watching them, they download youtube videos of cannibal feasts, witchdoctor sacrifices and head-hunting.   :menace:

I suppose people didn't immigrate to Quebec before late 20th century so you guys don't have much experience, but immigrants in the past tended to congregate together, first generation immigrants often didn't assimilate and they tended to keep in contact to family members outside the country.  They also tended to send them money.
Hey now, Montreal was actually an advanced, civilized place before they let the Frenchies take the province over.

It was just a guess since grallon seems to unaware of tendencies with immigration.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Basement trolls presuming to lecture me on current immigration trends... *shakes head* 

This place has really gone downhill.

I don't think that Raz presumes to lecture anybody about anything.

The more I hear of his testimony, I'm reminded of some of the less bright Euros over on Paradox OT.   :hmm:



I would not be at all surprised to hear he'd posted over there, or at least read the forum.

Raz's posts show to me as:

"You are ignoring this user. Show me the post."

I found this makes them much more bearable. (Hint: I don't click on "Show me the post")

Well, Grumbler and Marty are ignoring.  If you can judge a man by who he offends I'm doing pretty good.  I wonder if I made Marty cry.

All clear! It's been evil videogames all along for Breivik!

At least according to mainstream media as quoed by RPS:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/04/19/breivik-testifies-about-gaming-press-ignores-the-facts/
QuoteIt is inevitable that during the trial of Norwegian mass murderer, Anders Breivik, that the matter of videogaming will come up. Soon after the horrendous events I dug into what Breivik had actually said about gaming in his ghastly manifesto, and it was pretty much nothing of relevance. But with the press still not having found the next nasty to leap on, gaming is the scapegoat. It seems reasonable to point out how inaccurate this remains, and how attempting to shift the blame onto things uninvolved only makes it more likely that whatever led to Breivik's state of mind will not be discovered. But now that Breivik has testified about how important playing WoW was to him, and his peculiar understanding of Modern Warfare 2, it's all happening again.

It's pretty relevant to note much of what the killer said in his opening statements, in which he described secret societies, battles for purity, global conspiracy, and refused to recognise the jurisdiction of the courts. Very few press outlets took his comments at face value nor reported them as fact, strangely enough, but rather pointed out that he was either mad, or trying to appear mad. Now he has told the courts that he played World Of Warcraft for apparently 16 hours a day for a year, and saw Modern Warfare 2 as a police-shooting simulator, and not only is the press at large taking it as fact, but most are twisting Breivik's words to their own interests. Something has gone very wrong when the horror of his actions is being used to fuel irrelevant agenda.

Yesterday Britain's Daily Telegraph spoke to Oslo University professor of sociology, Thomas Hylland Eriksen, who believes that one factor that "hasn't sufficiently been taken into account" was Breivik's so-called "fascination" with World Of Warcraft. Because Breivik likes order and doesn't like chaos, erm, something something, it's gaming's fault.

Grumbler's tears cure cancer.  Unfortunately, he has never cried.  :(
