Polygon is just mad that FC 5 doesn't get "political" by showing rual, conservative America as radical Christian, gun toating, monsters.,(reply>), Cameron B. I did my own investigation and found out the man who took my car was looking for derelict vehicles to take and resell. He came 30 minutes before i got home, driving a gold chevy truck with no tailgate and towing equipment in back. He asked 2 people who's van it was they didn't know, he didn't try to ask anyone else and did not leave any of his info with anyone.  I had the police come back last night so i could update the report and my neighbor could file a witness report.  My neighbor also said he expressed interest in towing off another vehicle in the lot so im going to watch out all day today see if he comes to snatch it up.  Kinda wish i had not drank soo much, this is the first time I've had a hangover since high school, reminds me of why i don't drink often.   <br><br>About the crusades, idk if you can call it a complete flop. From what i understand not only did crusaders want to take the holy land but they were also pushing back against islamic expansion. Can't remember all the territory they took but i know that they had taken spain for a while and during one of the crusades it was taken back for christendom.  It is an intresting topic. I may go to the book store and see if they have any good books to read on it while i wait for this asshole to come back and steal another car.,(reply>), Devin Morales, sorry to hear abour the car, man. When you sober up, file a police report if you haven't already. I wish the best. Your hypothesis is fun food for thought, but it's hard to say it was over something like that considering how many crusader campaigns flopped. I think the only reason new crusades would pop up was out of religion, after the fourth major crusade's failure I would have stopped, probably even earlier than that...,(reply>), Devin Morales, the crusades were motivated largely by religion, to take back not just land, but holy land promised to them in religious doctrine. I'm sincerely sorry I came off as condecsending. Far too often I run into people who fail to differentiate and assume a lack of understanding. You sound like a pretty cool guy. I wish I could crack one of those beers open with ya,(reply>), Cameron B. Of coarse, absolutely agree. In the context of the crusades though i think it is more complex than christians not liking muslims. I think it was more of a clash of societies fighting for the same thing most wars were fought over. You have a Christian society and an islamic one, they are both very different and also very similar.  They still have a intrest to wage war that is outside of religion. I think one of the crusades were fought to retake land taken by islamic people, Spain maybe it was? Sorry I'm 7 beers in and im too lazy to look it up atm. My point is that explanations are rarely as simple as we'd like. That's why i use the inquisition as an example of christans doing horrible things because they did that to enforce religious doctrine not necessarily a fight to preserve society imo.,(reply>), Cameron B. You can choose to take offense to the term if you wish but the idea of what im describing is fairly clear. Maybe i should've said animist (not sure how it is spelled) hence why i didn't use it but i did use a breif description of what i was talking about. I think i said that they use human and animal corpses to make shrines so it does narrow it down. You're just arguing the terms used and that doesn't seem too productive.  I do understand the differnce, and you come across as being somewhat condescending.<br><br>Yeah when i talk about the teachings of jesus im specifically talking about what he has allegedly said or done. Sure there are messed up things in the bible but you still cannot argue that it is a big part of how society has developed and there are good things that can be taken from it. We also need to keep in mind that what we see as being good or bad has not always been that way the ideology has evolved alot with Western society.
