Might as well begin revising camera laws to crack down on those child pornographers everyone is mewling about these days.

My mother was there, we like to support our Commonwealth.

Well that's why I used the quotations, to try and subtly imply a negative utopia. Your pedantry is unbecoming. Mea culpa for using 'utopia' with scare quotes.

When I used the word 'utopia' I was referring to A Brave New World's seemingly brilliant World State utopia with a catch. A 'negative utopia' to use Huxley's own adage if you will, but a far cry from the Orwellian dystopia one typically associated with the word.

With any luck a Huxleyan 'utopia'. But with more drugs.

Yes, this 'scaling' goes against the logic of the original Fallouts, where a level 1 character could go say hello to hardened Enclave troopers with Gauss pistols, 100s of HP and legal authority to riddle you with holes.

Yeah, I thought like Maine, in the USA when I read 'New England.' The concept is fresh, though, and anything that brings the franchise to this side of the pond is a good thing. So what kinds of factions are we talking about?

Oh. I think 'New England' may lead to some confusion. You could go 'New London' and that wouldn't be so confusing. Londontown is already post-apocalyptic. I couldn't imagine it getting any worse. Did I mention I fucking love this idea?

Yeah, when I practice shooting I buy ammo specifically for that purpose. My stock is for a rainy day.

Well to be fair the Persians and Poles in the examples of ancient Greece and contemporary Germany 'looked' in many instances just like their respective Greek and German counterparts. Xenophobia knows not race necessarily. Racism in the low-brow usage only describes hate/fear over color whereas...

Typically xenophobia illustrates short term irrational fears of foreigners based on crude examples. The Persians interacting with the Greeks is the first Western example of xenophobia. However the reasoning for xenophobia can be as wide and varied as possible as hatred (a better word is 'fear')...

Yes, this needs clarification in the worst way. Did Germany invade Poland for xenophobic reasons (we can construe the 'Danzig crisis' as a xenophobic episode of sorts) or because of actual international grievances (ie. the desire to create a Greater Germany, plus the uncooperative attitude of...

Indeed, if I misread your first mentioning then forgive me, but reread that as it's hardly an easy read.

Another country that partook in the 2003 invasion of Iraq for xenophobic reasons and has occupying troops there. Yup, the most ruinous war for England and our Empire the world has ever seen.

Are there Polish troops stationed in Iraq? Did Polish troops take place in the 2003 invasion of Iraq? I guess that makes you pretty ignorant of your country's own international obligations (ie. 'okay' xenophobia because the guys doing it aren't wearing grey and Sieg Heiling to a flag you don't...

Argumentum ad Hitlerum. The inevitable result of any internet forum debate. The USA invaded Iraq, Viet Nam, and Korea because of Xenophobic reasons.

4 surplus 7.62x54r 880 rnds per box. When I take the SVT-40 shooting I rely on the Silver Bear brand (174 gr) which comes in boxes of 20 for around $10. 2 boxes of .45ACP (500 per box) Winchester 230 gr, and 2200 or so rounds of surplus 7.62x39 mm. On top of that we have a few hundred .22 lr...

I have several weapons, including a Norinco 1911 .45ACP, a Russian SVT-40 7.62x54r mm, a Yugo SKS, and enough ammunition to last me the next decade. I'm also in the process of getting a Chiappa Rhino 60DS.

Of course not, I'm exceptionally polite and nice to almost every person I meet. I just don't thrust morality on them like a male stripper thrusts his codpiece into an old slut's face. Great, your summation of the Legion could have made a goldfish die of boredom.
