Acosta was massively disrespectful in swatting away the interns arm and demeaning her.

His course of action should have been to give up the mic and then issue a formal complaint.

That was remarkably rude on his end and whether or not you are left or right you should still be respectful towards people.

Freedom of the press shouldn't be taken for granted and an opportunity to be callous towards another human being.

Dropping your arm into someone else's who is right in front of you is also not involuntarily unless it's some type of medical condition.

There are other reporters who ask tough questions and still manage to hold onto their passes. Why does Acosta get a free shot at being rude and dismissing a human being?

Right, he's the asshole for trying to finish his question rather than just accept being shut down as soon as he said something the administration disagreed with.

"Freedom of the press shouldn't be taken for granted"

Guess whose opinion is now invalid?

@theone86: Ah yes, any sane person would find him annoying. None of the other reporters act like that.

Plenty of other reporters act like that, as evidenced by the fact that another reporter brought up a fact that supported Acosta's statements later in the same press conference. And regardless, being annoying is not a reason to prevent a member of the press from asking questions and then revoke his press pass. This is a dangerous imposition on freedom of speech that could turn into something more sinister if left unchecked. Most sane people realize that.

You can't be serious? You're putting words into my mouth. I'm not saying he was an "asshole" for trying to finish his question I am saying he was disrespectful in moving the interns arm like she wasn't important and demeaning her.

"Freedom of the press shouldn't be taken for granted" also doesn't invalidate anyones opinion. For such a strong supporter of freedom of speech you seem very comfortable with trying to invalidate others. That's pretty hypocritical. I also noticed you left the last half that sentence out. Do you believe that freedom of the press grants the press the ability to be callous towards a human being and disregard them?

It's clear that you understand that other reporters acted in a similar manner and yet none of them engaged in a physical action with an intern and none of them had their privileges revoked. If Trump had cancelled the entire session or even refused to let Acosta ask a single question that is one thing.

Is Jim Acosta that important of a figurehead that people are willing to ignore his disrespect to another human being and hide behind a violation of free speech that isn't there?

I would hope that a game released almost 6 years later would be substantially better than its predecessor.

That being said there is no "tearway killer" as they are not competing. Tearaway hasn't been in the public eye for quite some time and there is no way to undo that,while not a commercial success, Tearaway was a critical success.

Is there really a point to this thread? Maybe hold off on pursuing this one and make a Dreams comparison further down the road?

I wouldn't mind the microtransactions if they had only put any effort into the base game.

Meh.

I want a deal on Spiderman, but would only care if it was a pro-bundle. $199 is kind of the expected "black Friday" price for PS4 holiday bundles I think. Isn't this what it's been?

Great deal for 1st time PS4 buyers though.

For the 500gb it was the standard deal. It doesn't take much to switch out the drives of course but this is a decent deal for those that don't have a PS4 yet.

Initially I thought it was just a buy a console and get 1 game free deal but then I noticed it was the 1TB version which goes for 299 now. 100 dollars off and a free game. That's a pretty good deal.

Okay, so my thread which is liberal gets moved here, but why is this thread from a conservative gamer who has posted multiple times in SW about political issues not moved as well?

The accusation of bias is unwarranted. There is no way for me to have determined party affiliation from the initial post. The original post could have been from a conservative point of view where they did not agree with fellow conservative. A person who identifies with the liberal party may have conservative values and a person who identifies with the conservative party may have liberal views. In the future please have some accountability for your actions and refrain from making baseless accuasations. I would also ask (more importantly) that you also refrain from attacking other users.

Welp... this thread has spiraled way out of control. Where the **** are the mods?

Lol, conservative crybabies calling the whambuliance."

A moderator is a volunteer position and each moderator has a varied schedule that they work around. Some infractions will be observed while others are missed. The infractions that are missed are typically supported by a flagging system. I moved two threads the same day within minutes of eachother (regardless of any organizational/party affiliation) because they were easily identifiable as political threads and there were legitimate complaints within each thread.

Laziness is not "efficiency." Either there is a lack of product involved or someone else is picking up the slack which are both terrible.
