Genghis always gave people the option of surrendering first. And if you didn't, well there's a reason 5% of Mongolia is descended from him.

I really don't like Toll roads and not just for that reason. They also say that it'll pay for upkeep that never happens.
CanduReactor
I think that lots of people joined Genghis Kahn's empire in an attempt to not get slaughtered.

Nah, they're just thinking clearly. Wakefulness is an unnatural state for humans, triggered by imminent need for food, sex, or bathroom.

Yeah, about good old Genghis. He told everyone, and he meant it, if they didn’t join his empire peacefully he would slaughter/rape them 100%

It worked, didn't it? The sign of supreme excellence is when your enemy surrenders without ever fighting. If one city dies horribly so 20-

(2) live by surrendering when they hear the tales then, overall, lives have been saved. :p
pangyre
Yeah… the body count on him might be higher than the Holocaust still and in days when there weren’t all that many persons in the world.
nelshai
Might be? It's possible the body count is higher than WW2 altogether. Definitely more than holocaust. And he helped spread black death.

The point is that they have the capacity for compassion and self-sacrifice. Like humans, that doesn't mean there aren't vicious ones too.

I've never had a man say anything wise after having sex (& I'll be honest, I've had a lot of sex). Are you guys just keeping it to yourself?

If you have nothing wise to say, don't say anything. The clear thought it what keeps our mouths shut afterward.

Me too. Not only are we foolish enough to still be using tariffs, we're arrogant enough to think we should nuance different rates for things
Kaianacoel
I think it's just because money was involved. Lobbies would ask for a "toy" classification because it means less taxes.

Fuck his replacement.

His replacement also butchered the Andrea character and killed her off. She was supposed to become a badass and Rick's girlfriend.

As someone who lives in Illinois, it's stupid as heck. But, we have continued to elect morons, hopefully Rauner does a better job

Its not just Illinois that does it, I know of 2 other states that also said they would stop collecting after theirs was paid off.

It's politics, so I'm always skeptical, but the optimist inside hopes for something better

The same thing with the Mass Pike. Supposedly, it was paid off YEARS ago, yet they keep collecting, citing "maintenance reasons"
killerofspiders
Same with NJ

when I 1st started driving from DC>Boston, the trip was $12. Now it's almost $20 in tolls. Delaware is the worst. $12 to go 50 miles

Well, considering most of them have been Democratic in our state up until this point, there's been a trend.

False. Since '70, IL has had 3 D & 4 R govs. Since '76, there have been 2 D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Illinois
nightingalemage
Not to say Democrats don't have their positives, just in my state it's seemed to be quite negative, maybe it's the Chicago air, I no know

The Democrat party and the Mafia are kinda the same thing in Chicago. Also, election fraud. They don't even hide it.

Last one I really played was MW2, and streaks didn't reset until death so he only got one. :(
TheMajesticGrammarNazi
Me too, but I assumed he was just talking about the number of kills required, not deaths too.
TheMajesticGrammarNazi
On a tangent, MW2 was my jam.
