I do not believe anyone here is a member of one of the Bilderberg familes so that means they are not part of the progressive elite. I lived in country that was invaded by Marxists. Westerners who wish for leftist social justice do not understand reality. They are not the elite, they are the ones to be controlled or eliminated. They do not know what it is to live with out electricity or running water because Leftist rebels destroyed everything. They do not know what it is to be truly hungry and there not be any food anywhere. They do not know what it is to be afraid to go outside. They do not know what it is to sit in their house and be afraid for their lives. They do not know what it is to leave their homes with one suit case and never return. They do not know these things, but they support the Leftist ideals that make these things happen. They are fools and no one argues with or gives consideration to fools.

The wealthy provide jobs and pay the majority of taxes (fact). According to the CBO the top 40% of income earners pay 84.3% of the taxes. According to the Department of Labor the top %1 of the wealthiest Americans create 40% of the jobs. The wealthy are doing their part and then some. Class warfare is simply something the Leftists use to get votes by appealling to angst. It's a smoke screen intended to trick gullible people, and it works. Everything in the Da Vinci Code is true. The Pyramids were built by slaves. Humans are responsible for climate change. Lizard people at the center of the earth control world governments. Rich people are to blame for everything wrong, so if we make them poor it will be better for all of us. (I wish I had bben's tin foil hat smile face for this post.)

Class Warfare; REALLY? :laugh:

"The American Empire Pax Americana has come to an end and now the Thirteen Reptilian Illuminati Luciferian Families want to reduce the American and Canadian populations to a more manageable size and also want America to become a Fascist Police State under dictatorial rule." Luckily I wasn't drinking anything when I read that. Anyway this must be a hoax. After reading a few articles written by insane people I have come to the conclusion that what is being presented as a 'master plan' simply will not work. The plot to control California, Utah, Texas, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico in one operation cannot be done. The U.S. military cannot control Afganistan and never had a firm grasp on Iraq. They failed at that but will succeed with Jade Helmet. Sure, why not? With today's technology normal people able to access almost anything. There is no reason to think a military operation the size of which hasn't been seen since World War 2 will go unnoticed. It will be a surpise attack and no one will see it coming. Ohhhkay. :dry: In the event it is true, Jade Helmet must conquer Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. I have never been to Utah but I know it is full of fiercely independent Mormons. I have been on vacation in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. The people in those States own guns and they like to use them. There are easier States to invade than ones where the people will shoot back. I come from a country where wars are common. If one group invades a country the people who there will fight back. They are defending their familes and their homes. They will kill people who try to take those things from them. Jade Helmet is not true, IMO.

I suggest using AdBlock or another legitimate ad blocking application until the problem is rectified. The staff here has responded to your post so they are aware of the situation. Until they find a remedy there is no reason for you to suffer.

@ Dark0ne I apologize for including the 'Other Considerations' section of my post. They were more casual observations and musings than anything else. They were not intended to offend anyone.

I did not state that anyone on the staff called LL a pirate site. Though bben did effectively state as much. I admit I only did a surface level search. There I found two, here I found over 20. If the staff and community at LL are to blame for ripped content hosted there, where does the blame lie here at Nexus for ripped content? You are very quick to point fingers and are holding another forum to a standard higher than one you hold for yourself or the Nexus membership. As to reporting the mods I have found here, no thank you. Why should the duty fall on me to report something the staff should be aware of? If I may make a suggestion, rooting out these mods is a chance for you to prove your mettle. I will not do your job for you. I did not compare downloads to downloads. Nexus is huge and that would be silly. What I compared were the forums where the communities participate. They have a more active community than we do. I never said they have more mods or get more downloads. I understand the community side of Nexus is less important than the individual game sections where people download and upload. I don't understand why this topic makes you so upset. You're addressing me as if I attacked you or Nexus and that wasn't the case. One thing is clear, you have a blatant dislike for LL, otherwise you wouldn't react the way you do. Your reasons are your own, but if someone can't post in this thread objectively without you tearing their heads off then maybe the thread is toxic and should be locked.

I wasn’t aware of ‘LL’ before reading this thread one week ago. Out of curiosity I registered there and this is what I have discovered; Piracy There are no traces of pirated games or other media on the site that I could find. I didn’t see any posts requesting help with getting pirated games to function, no links to pirate torrents, or anything else to suggest piracy is allowed there. The accusations of piracy are false. Copyright Protected Game Content I only found two instances of ripped content at LL; one is a mod for adding the Oblivion iron armor to Skyrim. The other was a very old Oblivion mod featuring 3DPoser models and textures. After a Google search I found the same mod is available here at Nexus. In comparison I have found over 20 gun mods for Nexus New Vegas alone that are obvious rips from Black Ops and Ghost Recon. I recognize these meshes and textures because I own both games and I have used them for my own renders at Renderosity. Ubisoft and Activision do not allow their software to be redistributed by end users. The accusations of LL hosting ripped content are minimally true, though using that as an excuse to not allow linking is laughably hypocritical considering the volume of ripped content there versus what can be found here. Adult Ads Yes, I was greeted with animated adult ads. I am married so it wasn’t anything I haven’t seen before, though I did feel ambushed. The site needs an age gateway, in my opinion. Other Considerations Over the last week I have made comparisons in member traffic between the two sites. No matter the day or time, LL had three times as many registered members active as did Nexus. If we had 220 members logged in and using the site, they had 660. I have no explanation for this since both sites host mods for the same games. Also, the volume of traffic is about the same for both sites, though in some instances they had more. The majority of people looking at Nexus at any given time are visitors who are not logged in. They are simply looking and are not downloading or participating. Something else I noticed is the lack of internet drama at LL. From what I could gather, they do not allow politics, political correctness or SJW internet activism. I have the impression LL functions as a community and not simply as a place to download mods. I also believe their users are older than ours. They are certainly more well-behaved. Also, their users seem more well-connected than ours. I saw information there about games and mods we simply don’t have. My last point is the mods at LL. I find a lot of them offensive, but I find some mods hosted here offensive. With that, there several mods at LL (very good non-adult ones) that are not hosted here. One case in particular is the XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended mod. That mod was made almost two years ago and it is only now available at Nexus. It is one of the top rated files for Nexus Skyrim at this time and we are treating it like it is new. LL has been hosting a lot of clothing, armor and body mods meant to be used specifically with that skeleton for a long time now. We are behind the times is some cases and that bothers me some. I don’t know if anything I’ve typed here will be helpful. I wanted to see for myself what LL is about. The only things I can see as being ‘wrong’ is some of the more extreme sexual game content and the lack of an age gateway. Other than that, LL has qualities Nexus is lacking. They are doing something right, but I don’t know what that is. Edited for spelling:

This is very true. I feel this is willful ignorance, not being taught the truth, or not experiencing life under Socialism, Communism or Marxism. I also feel sorry for some them because they do not understand what they are wishing for. I have nothing but contempt for others, because the do understand what they are wishing for. In reality they don't want to live under a Socialist, Communist or Marxist regime. They will not be included in the new elite. They will be come victims and a disposable human resource. I know this from first person experience and my family fled Africa because of it. Out of principal I do not argue with people who hold socialist ideals. They are unworthy of consideration because in their hearts they have no consideration for others.

@ Sharkworld78 I have read the terms of service and the chat posting rules. I could not find any terms or rules regulating the language used in the chat. Nexus is not an English language only site. I could not find a banned notice with your name. Your chat ban is indeed questionable.

I found this earlier today Fallout 4 Mod Tools Don't Exist Yet Two points of interest. There will be mods for XBoxOne, PlayStation4 was not mentioned. I assume Sony is not in agreement with opening their platform. Bethesda.net will be a hub for trading mods. It appears there will be a new modding community, and most likely a well financed and very large one.

I presented irrefutable facts in one instance, along with the link where I took the information from. I am the only person to do so thus far, by the way. The facts colored my opinion, though it seems by your post I’m the only person required present facts. For others, their opinions are enough simply because you agree with them. And people wonder why these debate threads are in their current state. This is the epitome of a fruitless endeavour on my part and a waste of time.

In one instance you want to dismiss studies as being flawed, in another you use studies to validate your argument. That's annoying and I'm disinclined to take your views into consideration. It is true I've faced adversity but those challenges do not define me as a person and I do not use them as an excuse not to be a productive and responsible American. I came to American when I was nine years old. I was a poor immigrant and I didn't speak or write English, and I have African heritage. According to some of the posts in this thread there was no reason for my father to work two jobs, for my mother to work as a hotel maid, or for me to better myself. By the socially loose standards of some here, I could have become a street thug and a drug addict and they would have been sympathetic to those choices because I faced social challenges. Poor, black and uneducated; I was held down by society at large, or I should have felt that way. Little by little the true colors of a few here begin to show. People who face social challenges (either by choice or providence) do not need to take personal responsibility. Society must accept them and make allowances. The result is social justice apostate. Think the way we want you to think or you will be shunned and labeled a bigot or intolerant. The same bigotry and hypocrisy they hate is used to get what they want. I am truly done discussing this or any topic with you at this point. You are inconsistent from post to post and it appears you simply have the desire to right, or you have difficulty focusing. Your apology was less than sincere and was more like another insult. So please proceed. Edited for spelling:

Although I stated I was through with this thread I cannot abide this statement. I am Sudanese Christian and ethnically Nubian Black African. I have very real memories of how I was treated by light skinned Arab Sunnis. Coming to America was blessing and gave my parents and I a lifestyle some people born here take for granted. That is not to say it hasn't been hard and I have faced discrimination from both Blacks and Whites. The portion of your statement I quoted was a cheap shot meant to invalidate my opinion and to discredit me. You should be ashamed of yourself and it is unfortunate I have no recourse since you are a staff member. Even more unfortunate that you are a staff member and are allowed to conduct yourself in such a manner. GOOD DAY, SIR.

I disagree. Not that there isn't bigotry; we all know there is. The root cause of the problems the LGBT community faces can't be placed anywhere but at the feet of that community. In 1973 Homosexuality was de-classified as being a mental illness. The declassification wasn't because the scientific and medical communities had it wrong, but because of political activism by the gay community. Sexual and gender dysphoria are real psychological conditions. A quick search on any medical wiki will show that I'm asserting is the truth. The science was changed to fit an agenda. (I am not saying gay people are insane. I am pointing to the fact there are fundamental differences in brain chemistry and function that may cause problems if not addressed. I realize that is not the politically correct thing to say, but it is a scientific fact.) No matter the case, discrimination is not justification to be an addict, or be sexually irresponsible. That same argument is used by African American activists. Instead of addressing the issues in the community, blame society. This isn't off topic since it rolls back to how people perceive same sex relationships. Lisnpuppy pointed out an instance of someone with agenda 'educating' people with bogus information. Attempts by some circles in the LGBT community to censor NIH scientific findings and rewrite medicine is not different. How can anyone be trusted to tell children the truth if the people involve have agendas that fly in the face of facts and the truth? Education isn't about social justice just so one group of people can feel good about themselves while they indoctrinate children. Even if sexual identity 'classes' were taught in schools the mission would be sabotaged. One group of educators would want present the facts about same sex relationships; the good and the bad. Another group would be against that because they would be afraid of what people might think, and other group would want to vilify them. This goes back to the NIH reports. Instead of addressing the root causes and finding solutions, some circles in the LBGT community want to hide the truth. That is just as ignorant as the woman Lisnpuppy talked about. I have voiced my opinion. Once I quote someone I feel as if I'm internet arguing, and that is something I do not do. I have enjoyed reading the posts and the mental exercise. Thank you, Lisnpuppy for the links. That woman is a real piece of work. WursWaldo? He's not here anymore. :blush:

The reality remains that any initiative to 'educate' people on the scientific facts of sexual identity would be polluted by those who have an agenda. Education boards would filter and censor like they do everything else taught in schools and universities. The resulting information available to students would not be the whole story. Even if it was, some individual teachers and professors would not follow the curriculum and they would disseminate what they saw fit. Facts and the truth would be replaced with ideology. There was a movement in LGBT circles to stop the medical and scientific community from “labeling them” as having mental disorders; going as far as to try and censor the NIH report from 2013 that verified LGBT Americans have disproportionately higher instances of alcoholism, depression, smoking, cancer, suicide, and perpetrated acts of violence. There was an earlier attempt to censor a more detailed NIH 2010 report that showed LGBT Americans make up 5% of the population, but have instances of 6.8% alcoholism, 2.7% depression, 7.7% cancer, 1.4 % suicide, 6.3% perpetrated acts of violence and a huge 81.5% instance of sexually transmitted diseases. They are only 5% of the population and look at the numbers, and some in the LGBT community did not want people to know about the results. How does anyone expect for students to be taught the truth in a politically correct society where the truth has no place? Anything taught would be slanted to fit an agenda. If students would be told the truth and given facts then maybe teaching about sexual identity could be a good thing, but we all know what would be taught would be far from the truth or factual. A listing of NIH annual reports is available here: http://www.fnih.org/about/foundation/annual-reports Edited for spelling:

"Normal" So sexual dysphoria and gender dysphoria aren't mental conditions? They aren't psychosexual states? The liberal press, internet SJWs, and politically driven activists are right and the professional medical and mental health communites are wrong. That makes perfect sense. Johns Hopkins; the first American hospital to perform gender reassignment and the formost authority on sexual and gender indentity is wrong because they treat the truth as the truth and aren't politcally correct. Even though the research and treatments done by the Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit are the best in the world, they're still wrong because they treat sexual and gender psychosexual conditions as mental conditions. Thank you for clarifying what normal is. The rest of the world is confused and the people with agendas have it right. My Opinion: Politics have no place in education. I am against agendas being forced on children. It is not okay for educators to fill children's heads with liberal or conservative ideologies that are alien to their home evironments. It is the parents' right and duty to teach their children morals and social conscience, not the government and not paid educators. Math, science, history, literature, and the arts. Teach those in school. I'll take care of teaching my child to be a better human being. Edited for spelling:

Why do children 'need' to be educated on same sex relationships? You state that children could be confused. So do you want to confuse them more, or do you want to indoctrinate them? As things are now parents cannot opt out of sex education for their children, since educators and bureaucrats know what is best and families don't. Oregon's HERC now has a policy in place to allow 15 year olds to get puberty suppressing drugs, sex reassignment surgeries and cross sex hormones without parental consent. These same 15 year olds aren't responsible enough to go on a school field trip without parental consent, but they can get a state funded sex change. They cannot drive, hold a hazardous job, or even operate the deep frier at McDonald's, but they can get gender reassignment. Does that really make sense to anyone? There is a limit social progressiveness, and that is what parents want for their children. Values start at home with loved ones, not with liberal agenda bureaucrats and educators.
