Here's some pictures of my local department for some examples.

He's definitely going to end up getting shot if he keeps playing games like this. Especially nowadays with the whole Police thing going on. All it takes is for him to be in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time bothering the wrong person. Hopefully the Police catch him, not for the safety of others but for his own safety. He clearly doesn't understand how dangerous his circumstances can become. My question to him though is.... what the hell does he plan to do if a vehicle he chases actually does stop. What if someone decides that they're just not having it and fires at him? Is he going to continue chasing the vehicle? Considering how far he's taken this, I fear he actually would. Which is funny but not funny, in a sense.

My nice tree.

Merry Christmas from Alexandria! Got to see the parade this year! Oh how I love my hometown!

LOL. I've always gotten knee weak to the overly bright and excessively positive Disney channel children's type music. That's why I like this song, I love the whole overly joyful tone that it carries.

A favorite of mine as well.

Wtf man. Thats a good movie as well.

We aren't blaming Islam, friend, we're blaming those that take Islam to an extreme level and use the religion as an excuse to terrorize and murder innocent people. I would disagree with the claim that all Muslims are terrorists, but I can come closer to agreeing with the claim that all (or most, which would be more realistic) terrorists are Muslim. If you look at just about every terror attack that's transpired over 2016, I think it's safe to say that most of them were committed by followers of Islam. It isn't that we want to marginalize the entire religion, we ("we" representing those of us that recognize that the attackers are usually Muslim in faith) just want people (those that claim there is no connection between Islam and the terror attacks) to stop acting as though there isn't a trend in the commencement of attacks that have been occurring. Is it a coincidence that with the influx of refugees and migrants, the number of rapes and terror attacks have been increasing across Europe? Is it a coincidence that ISIS has claimed responsibility for a majority of the attacks that have occurred this year, and the attackers have also pledged their allegiance to ISIS and other Islamic based terror groups? Why is it that terror attacks increase with more refugees entering western nations? Why is it that Muslim nations are refusing to take the, mostly Muslim, refugees? Why is it that a good portion of the terrorists, as concluded by a few simple Bing searches, are refugees? Why is it that half of these "refugees" aren't even from Syria, according to some basic research? All I'm saying is that there's a very obvious connection between terror attacks and Islam. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that all Muslims are terrorists, but you can't honestly sit here and say that there hasn't been any sort of trend in the attacks. Why not address the issue and work to create a solution? Out of curiosity, what do you suggest the west do to resolve the issue?

This is definetely my favorite Christmas tune. Makes me all sentimental and stuff.

In defense of MayhemMercenary, it's not necessarily that the conclusion he's making is the easiest solution. Sometimes the conclusion that people make, depending on the circumstances of course, can be completely blatant. While I can agree that the media is attempting to juice as much as it can out of the whole "Muslims are terrorists" thing, we also need to stop acting as though the issue has nothing to do with Islam or extremism. Based on what's transpired this year, I think it's safe to say that a majority of the terror attacks were directly connected to Islamic extremism. It is what it is, avoiding it isn't going to make it any better. We can address the issue without grouping an entire religion of people together.

Yes I can definitely understand what you're saying, but the media isn't completely bogus when it comes to the claims that they cause people to make. I think it's safe to say that a majority of the attacks that have occurred this year alone were, in someway shape or form, directly as a result of Islamic extremism. In my own opinion I feel that the media is taking a very true situation of Islamic extremism, and attempting to connect all incidents of terror to extremism. Just because someone shot up a theater doesn't mean that they're an Islamic extremist, I get that. But my point is: What are the chances of a suspected individual(s) being Islamic extremists in an attack? I think it's fair to say the chances would be relatively high given the status of our world today. As I've previously stated, I agree that the media does enjoy baiting people to believe that all Muslims are terrorists, but if you look at the reoccurrence of attacks, it really doesn't help change that mindset that a lot of people have.

Just wanted to make a small comment on this. The difference here, though I understand your train of thought, is the blatant redundancy of similar attacks. Usually attacks, such as the most recent one in Germany, are terror attacks. After s thorogh investigation, it's almost always found that the motive was religious based, more specifically on the Islamic side of the spectrum. I'm not going to make any conclusion in regards to the entire Islamic community, because that would be a bit prejudiced and unfair to those that don't share extremist views. All I'm saying is that we've been seeing a constant steady pattern here. It's very plain in sight that a lot of these attacks always lead right back to Islamic extremism. There aren't many other reasons as to why someone would want to plow a truck through a crowd of civilians. Other than to murder and terrorize. Just my opinion though. When it comes to police involved shootings, there can literally be hundreds of reasons behind it. The difference, as I've stated in a previous thread some time ago, is that law enforcement officers are officers of the law. This means that they're held to higher standards, or should be held to higher standards. When an incident occurs, I will put my faith in the officers training and his dedication and duty to protecting us. As evidence surfaces, I'll change my opinion based on the situation. But that's a matter of opinion and a completely different discussion. If you'd like to respond on what I've said about this particular subject, feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss it. I don't mind at all! I don't wanna steer this off topic, I've had some problems with that over the years. lmao.

I actually think it's kind of funny. I turned on the TV and flipped to the news, which is something that I don't do often, and saw Obama making statements directly accusing Russia and Vladimir Putin of interfering with the election. He made a statement, "If Russia continues to interfere, there will be severe consequences". Consequences such as what? Lol, the man is comical to me. I just can't come to believe that Russia has any involvement.

You've also got to take note that Democratic Party officials are the people that initially made the claim of Russian interference. There's a good possibility that the claim is completely bogus and biased. You've also got to remember that this is the same FBI that cleared Hillary Clinton from her email situation. I don't trust the claims to be honest. I also don't understand how Russian interference, if somehow possible, is even true if Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. I'd think that the Russians would have tripped that up or something. I haven't done much research on it so to keep from speaking out of my butt I'll go and conduct research shortly. But the way things are looking right now I'd say it's just simply the way our election system is designed. Whether or not it should be changed is a matter of personal opinion. I think Democrats aimply aren't happy with the outcome so they're trying to find reasons to have some sort of recount or something. They don't want a far right conservative Republican, as he claims to be, in the White House with a Republican dominated government.

I forgot to come back and respond to your comment. I want to say that I definitely agree with you and it's true. I didn't like Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, so initially I was completely unsure of who I was going to vote for. Then I conducted my own research, rather than flip on the TV like most others do, and gathered some background information on the candidates. What I saw was completely insane; I saw anti-Trump protesters rioting. They were attacking police, fighting in the streets, flipping cars, burning out businesses, burning American flags, waving Mexican flags, cursing American to the ground to crumble and burn, attacking Trump supporters and vandalizing property publicly endorsing Trump. I immediately went out and voted for Donald Trump afterward. They made it easy for me. If it hadn't been for them, I may have actually voted Clinton or third party. I wasn't aware that we had an interactive selection menu of a preferred country of origin before we were born. I must have missed the cut, maybe new technology of some sort? I did not choose to be an American, I was born an American, and I take pride in it thereof. If I were born Australian then I'd be proud to be Australian. If I were born French then I'd be proud to be French. America isn't any different friend.

Not bad, I really gotta learn to stop judging a book by its cover, lol. Even though I'm not really into anime it doesn't sound bad at all. Out of curiosity, does this song appeal to you at all? https://youtube.com/watch?v=xVOJla2vYx8

Ah that's interesting. I like a few oldies but mostly the main stream ones, like "take on me" and "turn,turn,turn". How do you feel about rap and hip/hop? Nice little holiday tune from a chat site I played on many years ago.

What dinput8 are you using that works? When I uninstall it from OpenIV I have no dinput8 file in my directory. What version is your dinput8 from? If I'm not making any sense, did you just hit the "install" button on OpenIV for the ASILoader and then make a backup of that? Or did you get the dinput8 from somewhere else?

I take it you really enjoy Japanese music? https://youtube.com/watch?v

I've been having the same issue. I found the issue to be dinput8 causing my game to crash when installed in my directory. When I remove dinput8, my game loads but none of my modified pedestrians or vehicles load. dinput8 is automatically installed when you install the ASILoader using OpenIV. Not sure why it's causing a crash, makes no sense to me at all. If you want to get into your game though, delete this file located in your main GTA 5 directory. As previously stated, it will load 100% vanilla models though.

Really good tune from a good MMO.

It actually brought a tear to my eye earlier today, the fact that all we had were Trump and Hillary as options. Just shows how broken and screwed the system really is.
