I'll never read the title 'Assassin's Creed: Unity' the same way again.
Don't want to play that assassin though.

Impressions from Berlin at the French embassy:

I like the Arabic on that sign: "Freedom begins when ignorance ends."
Victor Hugo (Same as the quote in French behind it).

Right, didn't notice it (and I don't read French, but it's still obvious)

"I wish I was at home playing video games. The Marseillaise is too loud. My feet hurt..."
Somethings that let's her be chancellor for ten years already, with her own party voting her with 97% approval as head of it.
Your queen looks absolutely stunning. As always.

Yeah, unfortunately the anti-war demonstration was completely ignored despite the size and we can't even get the sodding chilcot report (an already nerfed report). Which has taken the steam out of the country I think, more are apathetic now as they know their voices will not be heard even when shouted.
We do hold it in as a people and tend to historically explode, the dissatisfaction and apathy comes to a head but not very proactive and aggressive in defending ourselves like the French. We get laws passed to spy on us without just cause with barely a whimper, all in the name of shit like terrorism. Already seeing scaremongering from intelligence agencies on how there are so many attacks waiting to happen, all to help justify (ironically) the taking away of our liberties. Even though you are waaay more likely to be killed by silly things like stairs.

Good lord. I've never seen a march anywhere with so many world leaders.
The whole "why doesn't this happen when X and Y?" criticism is such a fucking dumb and lazy argument. You could apply it to anything and everything, including dozens of things anyone would do.
Why are doctors wasting their time over here caring for people with a mere cold when thousands are dying of ebola in West Africa?
Why are you wasting your money on buying stupid videogames and stuff? Shouldn't you be donating to charity instead?
And so on and so forth.

I am Greek and my Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is there.
He used the terrorist attack to gain votes for the upcoming elections that take place in 14 days. Now he is there, marching against terror while he brings terror to so many families and people. What a fucking joke he is.
I admire all those people that are there and have nothing to gain. No votes, no money or glory.

Yes. And his security detail can't handle them either. Just think about the timing you'd need to get the beast transported to Europe.
We assume so, note that there's no one from Asia or Latin America. Most of the places are fairly close by...
Earlier today in Oslo
Not near as many people as in Paris or London, but I think it was a nice touch to set up these drawing boards and let everyone draw or write whatever they wanted to.

Great pic.
I wish that the message it sends will be clear, but I can definitely see it have none or maybe even the opposite effect. I hope I'm wrong.
Edit:
Well, at the least it seems to boost the people's spirits and that's what most needed right now.

Ha, good to see Sebastian Kurz attending, quite a nice politician, one of the few here, anyway.

While I agree radical Muslims can fuck off, all muslims are being made fun of.
What opposite effect? ISIS already hates everyone and was doing and planning attacks regardless.
So are all christians and atheists. Everyone can be made fun of, because nobody is perfect.
And they have the right and freedom to make fun of the people who make fun of them.
Did he ride his "Geilomobil" to paris?

17 people were killed. Non-religious, Muslims, and Jews.
Yes, everyone gets ridiculed. It doesn't matter what political persuasion, religion, belief system you hold. You WILL be ridiculed. Feminists, MRA, Jews, Chritians, Muslims, Conservatives, Liberals. No one is immune. No one. We have that right so that we can keep everyone accountable for their actions. It's the way the west works, it's why we're such good places to live.
The hell. This is cringeworthy.

This the same thing as both rich and poor people having equal rights to buy caviar.
While making fun of X is obviously legal, we shouldn't close our eyes to inequalities not governed by the law.

I know I know, just wanted to point out there is no distinction between a radical and non-radical muslim in media bashing.
Yeah, opposite would be something else. What I really meant is that I fear that the terror situation could still be unchanged after this event. Maybe even make it worse if they take offense at others not being afraid of them.
I didn't even know about that campaign. Yeah, that's pretty silly.
He seems nice, reasonable and even intelligent in other interviews I saw with him though.

I have no idea what that says, but if it proves my point wrong then I stand corrected.
