    I mean the ones who decided the let the refugees in, and let them stay, in the first place, probably for fear of being called racists. They can't bomb the country if they can't get into the country.

    Won't matter a bit, you can't stop people getting in, period. Even "Donalds Trump happy land" wouldn't stop that, people will get in illegally just the same. I'm not sure on the details of this particular attack, or even if they are out yet but its more than likely the bombers weren't refugees and could have came in via multiple different ways.

    ISIS is largely only around these days because of media attention drawing more people in and making them sound so much larger than they actually are. The group is laughably small in comparison to what has came and went in the past, where massive super powers with the best technology around for their time can be defeated in a matter of years, ISIS is a minute entity in comparison.

    I've been saying it for years. Stop dropping bombs on them and instead, drop tons of hi quality Marijuana grown in California and British columbia. In 2 weeks half the ak47s in the country will be turned into bongs and they will all forget the reason they want to kill people in the first place.

    Google it. New York City sour diesel and get at me.

    This isn't a forum for ages 12 and under. If you don't like politics, there is a thing called patience,
    That's hilarious. And the worst part is that it might actually work...

    Think about it. Everyone knows someone who either has or regulalry gets into fights when drunk. Know any stoners that start fights with strangers over nothing? No you dont. Again, ponder the how's and whys of that and tell me I'm not a world peace genius (inb4 your not a world peace genius, because I AM)

    So then ban all immigration from the Middle East minus Israel, and put the framework in place to enforce that ban. I'm sorry, but if you're running a country, your first duty is to the citizens of that country. If keeping them safe from terrorist head cases means closing the borders down and potentially leaving legitimate immigrants out in the cold, then so be it.

    I hate Trump too, but I believe that border security should be a number one priority for the U.S. The drug cartels are absolutely brutal, a lot of illegal immigrants apparently are too, and now the cartels appear to be working with terrorist organizations. All together, that means Mexico's many problems have now become our national security problem. A wall won't solve it all at once, but it'd be a decent start.

    Not likely to work. Islam has laws that may prohibit cannabis use, and these jihadis are probably too devout to violate them.

    Automatron DLC for FO4 is out and looks pretty awesome. I'll wait for the Survival Mode update to start a new character though, game is just way too easy and gets boring quickly after my first 3 characters.

    Only thing is that those hell-bent on causing destruction will still do so. All they have to do is immigrate from a blacklisted nation to a sanctioned one, then to the US. Or even to Canada, since we haven't had much of a reason to lock down that border much. I don't think laxity is advisable, but walls only keep the honest out.

    I'm not so sure about this one. I dislike terrorist cells and the cartels equally, but they're in the chaos business for different reasons. What changed?

    Oh, also: while it may be a bit of a tangent, there are a handful of Texan homes positioned south of Bush's border wall. Some kind of nature conservation land right... thing meant that the wall strays from the border by a few miles. The residents can't leave their homes without passing through a checkpoint, and can't move out since nobody would be willing to buy their property.

    I still haven't got far past building my base (which I did for like a week lol), random 12fps drops put you off fast. I really love what I have played of the game so far though.

    Didn't really bother with settlements myself. Doesn't feel like it belongs in a Fallout game IMO.

    That's why I later said a wall wouldn't be a complete solution. You also need to have a system for enforcing your immigration laws: in order to get a job, receive government benefits, or do practically anything else, people should have to provide proof of citizenship, or at least proof that they're allowed to be here. If you go the the doctor or get arrested or even get pulled over and it comes to light that you aren't supposed to be here, it's back to wherever you came from with you - and there should be bankrupting fines and lengthy jail sentences for violators.

    I'm guessing there's some payola involved. The drug cartels are both greedy and conscienceless; I'm sure they'd gladly cooperate with terrorists for the right price.

    Its one of my favourite additions honestly, along with general customisation. Its all a side thing compared to the story of course, but I think it adds a lot more depth and gives you more to do outside of the side quests and main story. For me it adds another layer of immersion to the game to have "home base" location. That's just me though and I know its just down to me enjoying stuff like that, heck I remember decorating my house in megaton with random waste land junk in Fallout 3. :p

    Having a home base with all your stuff gets annoying when you play no fast travel. Weapon customisation is awesome but I don't really like the junk feature, completely immersion breaking. Building a perfectly good gun out of junk makes no sense, I'd rather buy or loot the weapon mods (which is actually possible).

    No fast travel? I modded the game a lot as the hardest difficulty is still dumb easy. I made my character do twice the damage and all enemies do triple. Now it's a little harder, but I don't need to shoot a raider 6 to 8 times to drop them. I'm dying for a mode that takes all the rpg elements out of the game and makes it very realistic. I got bored and stopped playing before I reached the endgame but I know when there are 2 or 3 years worth of mods I'll go back big time. I honestly though it was a great game as well. The shooting felt great and the story didn't totally suck. Hitman is already shaping up to be KILLER tho. My god its blood money 2.

    Did the same with FO3 and NV. Haven't modded 4 but with the new survival mode I shouldn't have to - it will have massively increased damage on both sides, no fast travel, basic needs, and saving is disabled except for sleeping.

    No fast travel is the only way to play Fallout 3 properly. Unlike New Vegas which is entirely scripted (not fun once you've memorised the location of every raider ambush and most traps), FO3 is based on random events so it's different every time, just walking to quest objectives is often as fun as the quest itself. 4 has random events too but it's a lot more predictable than 3 - it doesn't spawn enemies at random for example.

    Also. When websites beg you to turn Adblock off, say their ads are "maximally unobtrusive", etc. Then you turn Adblock off and the site promptly attempts to choke your computer to death with 10 mullion ads, some of which are video.

    Turning off adblock is a sign of weakness. Don't let me down again.
