I bought the New Vegas DLC during a steam sale. I think I got the full game and all of the expansions for $5 or $10. Otherwise, it was probably the expansion packs for Civ 5. I usually wait until everything has been released and bundled though.

Unless you're buying Take Two Interactive shortly before a new Grand Theft Auto drops, you're batshit crazy to invest in any video game publisher stocks.
That's idiotic...there are only two countries on the planet with as large, or larger, a population. So we're #1 out of 3...awesome! And the next closes nation by popluation, Indonesia, is ranked 60 spots higher than the U.S. We're doing great!
Unless you count Russia, every European nation is ranked ahead of the US. As are such wonderful places like Haiti, Liberia, and Jordan.
"idiotic" eh? So Americans should feel unsafe when they leave their house? I do not understand this notion that the US is unsafe
I'm simply pointing out that what you presented as evidence is highly flawed and poorly supports your argument.
In some areas of the US, people do feel unsafe when they leave their house.
Just looked at the Global Peace Index...
Global Peace Index
...And it's quite surprising. The US is rank 103, out of 163 countries. That's terrible, more like a third-world developing nation, rather than a first-world developed nation. And it dropped 9 places last year, from rank 94 in 2015 down to rank 103 in 2016.
Exactly...I looked at the list and was very curious why Refub used GPI as a bolster to his argument. China and India are still developing nations, with over a billion people each, so of course they would suffer as a result. I mean, there are a lot of African nations and a few in the Middle East (UAE, Jordan, Qatar), as well as the entirety of Europe, that are better positioned on that list.
Basically, if your country isn't an active war zone or ravished by poverty/corruption/oppression, you're better off than in the U.S., haha. These metrics have to absolutely kill the U.S. ranking, especially those bolded:
- Number of external and internal conflicts fought
- Level of perceived criminality in society
- Number of homicides per 100,000 people
- Level of violent crime
- Likelihood of violent demonstrations
- Number of jailed persons per 100,000 people
- Military expenditure as a percentage of GDP
- Nuclear and heavy weapons capability
- Ease of access to small arms and light weapons
@frank_castle: Oh, yeah...I'm sure they had the courts in mind when that drafted this executive order. Nevermind the fact that Wahabbi clerics in Saudi Arabia, members of the house of Saud sponser terror....and the vast majority of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi...yeah, no, I can see why they're not on the list.
For the 1000th time it's a list that the Obama administration put together.
Why isn't Trump using his own list? It's Trump's list now, Obama is no longer in office in case you haven't noticed. Are Trump supporters already getting out their "Blame Obama" excuses?
If he's trying to make our borders safe, why is he leaving huge, gaping holes?
Lol, like I know. I'm not part of his cabinet dude. Telling you what it is, not why it is. It's funny though that someone complaining about it wants there to be restrictions on even more countries. But anyway, my guess is that the countries picked were because they're highly unstable. Sure, countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have just as many Islamic extremists but they are stable governments so reliable information can probably be found for people in those countries. But places like Libya and Somalia are complete shitholes that are a chaotic mess. Gonna be harder to obtain reliable info from those places. Don't know if that's the reason but it's a guess.
I haven't complained about it.

Four federal judges file orders opposing parts of President Trump’s travel bans
What is the Trump administration's response?
Trump's immigration ban 'remains in place' despite global criticism
"Saturday’s ruling does not undercut the President's executive order. All stopped visas will remain stopped. All halted admissions will remain halted. All restricted travel will remain prohibited. The executive order is a vital action toward strengthening America’s borders, and therefore sovereignty. The order remains in place.”
In other words, the glorious leader is above the law. This is a totalitarian dictatorship in the making.
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 states: Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
No law was broken. Have fun spinning that.
Why isn't Saudi Arabia on the list?

The US is still a very safe country
"Safe" is a relative thing. Is it safe compared to third world shitholes and war zones? Yeah, sure. Is it safe compared to other OECD nations? Not really lol.
There is no country (going by the Global Peace Index) that is as populated as the US and as safe as the US.
Considering the global footprint the US has, the ease of obtaining a firearm, the number of motorists, and just from being a cultural melting pot -- the US is very safe.
