Offering some kind of conditional amnesty might encourage others to desert the IS cause.

So some of the Brits fighting for IS are now having second thoughts and want to come back to the UK but are worried about being put in prison.

I have played and enjoyed text adventures before, but Depression Quest doesn't feel like an actual game. For me there was far too much text to read, not enough interactivity. Maybe I have a puny attention span though.

Anyone who can make their own AngelFire page is a game developer now.
You also need a Patreon account, so you can get donations to sustain you while you go about creating your original masterpiece.

It's understandable that websites have been censoring discussions regarding Zoe Quinn's personal life. But the harassment campaign (with which Quinn is implicated) against the Fine Young Capitalists charity has gone totally unreported by most gaming websites, even though it shares many similarities with the widely reported campaigns against Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn. It does seem that there's some kind of cover up going on.

Gamergate is about many things.
This is the great flame war of our time.

So the Gamergate affair seems to be escalating, it's now getting mentioned in the Guardian and the BBC news website.

I thought the post might catch him out. Perhaps under that crazy evil Zionist outer shell lies a real person with empathy for his fellow beings.

Clearly IS are trying to provoke a response from the US, maybe it's best not to go RAAAAGHHHH! WE MUST HAVE VENGEANCE and try to be rational?

The best way of punishing Russia is to forget about the sanctions and take the 2018 World Cup away from them and give it to England. That'll teach Putin not to mess with Europe!

I wonder if it's a ploy to scare the public before the Scottish referendum or the election next year.

Would you rebel against ISIS? They bury people alive!
In other news, the UK terror threat level has just went up to Severe.

Is it possible that people are overestimating the threat of IS? They are surrounded by enemies and unwilling to work with other Muslim terrorist groups because they seen them as apostates. They use their western recruits as cannon fodder which will presumably cause the flow of recruits to dry up eventually.

Maybe it's best to just support the Syrians, Kurds and Iraqi army with airstrikes and guns.

Now, the last question about making golems is truly stupid.
They had a golem on the X Files.

Isn't the IS opposed to other terrorist groups like Hamas anyway? Just let them fight it out and mop up the survivors.
