    What are you talking about? The NCR is corrupt and is a growing pile of wasteful bureaucratic nonsense. You can't walk 5 minutes down a road in NCR territory without being hit by BANDITS or GIANT BUGS or ENEMY SOLDIERS. Sometimes, all three at once. How many Bandits do you think there are in Flagstaff, the Legionary capital?

    The Legion may be brutal. But these are brutal times. We can't be wasting money on Prisons and Courts and other luxuries while it's not safe to go out at night.

    Other than that, the burnings of towns like Novac were justified in order to stop the NCR's blight. Again, it's brutal, but these are brutal times. As soon as the Legion never has to worry about never ending warfare with the uncivilized tribes and the NCR and even the BOS, they'll be able to chill down. For instance, the cities inside the Legion are pretty decent from what you hear about them. Certainly better than run down, gang infested cities that the NCR run. Might I remind you of Primm?

    Dunno. It's been a while since I played, all I remember is him popping the clip, and wiping something. Guess it would be more polishing. Either way, it was a pretty mangled set piece.

    He was inspecting and loading them. Kinda makes sense since one of his tagged skills is repair, and he does do repair services.

    So... a brutal, oppressive, sexist, xenophobic, slave owning, culture destroying, blood spilling, innocent killing, technologically backwards, strategically backwards civilization [if it is worthy of the title] is better than a country with bad burracrats or a military organization that is only slightly isolationist?
    Dude. Looking at how the world is today, I think that the overwhelming vote [another thing that the Legion lacks] is in favor of real civilization.
    Both the NCR and the BOS expanded without having to use half the brutality that the Legion did. And that the times are tough is no excuse. If it were, imagine how many dictatorships would stalk the land now.
    Also: Primm came under NCR control AFTER the Legion was driven away. At the start of the game, they are an independent group.

    So, I wanted to clear this up - I didn't mean this so much as an attack on Kali, but rather to prove a point.
    It's OK if Kali starts a thread like this, or insults/acts like a dick on a regular basis - If I, or another Socialist does, we are yelled at, and called bad people by the entire forum. There is, and always has been a double standard going on here.

    I don't believe in 'Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth'. The fact is, he isn't offended by this kind of thing. If I wanted to try and get to him, I'd try something different. He does this stuff on a regular basis, because he knows he will get away with it. No, what he does is technically not against the rules - That is the problem.

    You can't run an internet forum like a 'Democracy'. It doesn't work.

    Well when you do it clearly as a counter to the thread you bitch and complain about then you can not expect to not be called a hypocrite.

    I didn't mean any of the things I said. I did it to try and prove a point, being the hypocrisy which exists on the forum. When Kali says something, he will -Always- get away with it. If I, or somebody else does half as bad, we are called bad people.

    If I acted the same way as kali, If I used the same terminology to describe capitalists on a daily basis, and if I generally acted like a dick, do you think I would have been around half as long as Kali?

    I apologize to anybody I have offended. That was not my intention here, and nor do I honestly believe anything I said. This is one of those issues where you have to look beyond the words to get the meaning.
