No. The just had the good fortune to be born to interesting times.

i would have been in jail years ago without the second amendment :D i say the .45 is waayyyyyyy better, it has much more nock down power.

It’s done! :D :D :D :D Tell me if you want to read any of it.

@Deviant:Scripter:

You’re wrong. It’s better to take the fight overseas rather than let it reach our homeland, regardless of the price we have to pay. This holds true for the war on terrorism as well. :-? Better to fight them over there, than over here…

How non economic.
If the price to fight here is less than to fight there … why would you bring the fight there?

The reality exists that countries do what they have to do, in order to ensure the safety of their country. But I do agree with you on one important point…the fact that US laws do not apply to non-US citizens…

“to ensure safety of their country” … the point is that europe has been through this, when nations tried to ensure “their safety” by thinking for what is best for them only, working uni- or bilaterally. Then still, there was the need for major conferences of all major powers. And still, exactly this thinking lead to WWI. Know your history, and learn.
For the “US laws don’t apply to non-US citizens” … have you even thought of the obvious?
Te terrorists attacks on New York were done by non-US citizens … YAY! there was nothing wrong with them then, no laws broken !
I should really come over and burn down your house … YAY! i did nothing illegal!!

Rock in general.

Gas is stilll cheap. it is 2.30 where I live and my driving habits are yet to change. At least suv sales are down 20%.

After playing I take it back that germany was too strong in comparison… The game we played turned real sour for the Axis mainly because the East Front is kinda a hit or miss run territory to territory… Japan targets are really hard to get at now… Russia isn’t worth it the US fleet is strong and India ca nmore easily put a factory down T1… Russia can really do a turn 1 eating on germany make a belorussian stack like in AaAE that will take eternity to kill… the US can too easily take back a pacific holding by doing a US1 Counterattack with all units available and build another fleet… Britain had a little more holding in the world which didn’t kill them automatically… Overall though the Axis IPC boost help out in the long run even though they lost…

@Janus1:

i meant no disrespect to you, and sorry if i somehow offended you, but you know what, F*** off. you want to be offended by it, fine, go ahead

Boy Janus, you sure picked the right name (i.e. the two faced god of Graeco-Roman mythology). Are you bi-polar or what? “Sorry if I offended you, but f*** you!”. Double your dosage buddy, and don’t bust a blood-vessel being so FED-UP! :lol:

Now if you and your moronic buddy will excuse me, I’ve got to get back to hitting the bottle and shooting craps at my casino on your tax dollar. :wink:

Agent_Smith - Its a small college, but I won’t get into which one. Too many psychos on the internet! :roll: Sorry I didn’t specify, but I thought that “college” was implicit in my statement about the summer semester. And yes, I’m in the abd phase of the Phd. You are correct that I was taking an absolutist position, but I thought that this simplistic and addle-brained poll/thread lent itself to such. My first instinct was to steer clear of it, but at least some intelligent discourse was generated.

my post was sarcastic…

“When I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you!”

i dont think it was the alliance system exactly, but the way all the countries handled their allainces. Before 1914 the countries used their allainces to pressure there allies into avoiding war, while in 1914 countries like Austria and Russia used thier allainces to pressure Germany and France INTO a war. Also, before around 1905 (Russo-Japanses war), the way war was conducted prevented such a long conflict from occuring. There were wars (Franco-Prussian, Six weeks war, Crimean war, etc.) but they were wars of movement and armies, not total wars of trenches and entire nations.

Im officialy a comrade now, pretty sweet. Fear my bolshevik hordes! 8)

A couple hours ago, I saw an Ash for President poster as http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2079&p=3.

Disclaimer: somethingawful has a lot of things that will likely offend somebody, and this is my warning. If you find something you don’t like, I told you so.

Really?! Wow!!! Good time to be a UConn fan :D!!!

wow
does this poll ever suck.
Only one Canadian team did not make the playoffs (Edmonton) and you included only one. For shame!! (just teasing - i don’t really care . . . )
Oh - watch for some Manitoban players . . .
Winnipeg-born Mike Keane of the Vancouver Canucks – a three-time Stanley Cup champion – and Arron Asham of the New York Islanders, who hails from Portage la Prairie.

Shane Hnidy from Neepawa and Churchill-born rookie Jordin Tootoo will be playing with the eighth-seeded Nashville Predators, coached by Dauphin’s Barry Trotz. Also Toronto Maples Leafs goaltender Eddie Belfour, born in Carman and maybe even his backup Trevor Kidd, from Dugald. Not bad for a nothing prairie province . . . .

Well that’s different. So what you’re trying to say is that Germany fell apart after the war which is absolutely correct. Back to my original argument, WWI led to enormous social change that sparked the technological progress which led to the lifestyle we now enjoy. In Germany particularly democracy and progressive ideals had been supressed for generations, but after WWI this was no longer possible due to the chaos you describe. Additionally, an affect of both world wars has been the spread of democracy by the victorious powers of Britain, France and the US.

Again how would the world be different without the world wars. I think it would be more backward, less changed, less democratic, more imperialistic, but perhaps more stable because Democracy tends to breed instability.

When i said disappointed i meant i don’t agree with what you said, sorry if you thought i was angry!
Also, I did contribute, I read everything, i just didn’t post! For once! :lol:
I’m trying to improve! :-?

Montreal does have a lot of french, and i’ll agree with you that all of British Columbia is beautiful!!!

:D

I saw it at your house, remember?
