X-Com sure is thats for sure. The last one they made, Apocolypse was pretty good I thought, just sucked that you were limited to the city area itself until you discovered the alien secret things….

RE: Chat Room
For using it, I would find out the time zones of the more active forum junkies then try to average a decent time for having chats.

RE: Is there life outside our solar system ?
In the end, it’s not really gonna matter if we think theres life out there of any sort I think, if there is those that do search will find it someday that or they will visit us, one way or another. Then its a matter if they want to turn our planet into an alien resort planet a la X-Com.

RE: Seperation of Church and State
I’m not saying that religion is a bad thing or anything because I personally find it a good thing for most people but when it comes to that separation thing, I REALLY wish they could just stick with it… I know it wouldn’t happen unless things go like they did in the game Alpha Centauri(Great game : :) ) but I guess I’m just a bit paranoid about the church gaining too much power with the govt. like the Catholic church had with so many countries back in the middle ages in Europe.

RE: Current actions in the Middle East
Granted both sides have done wrongs, I’m a pro-Israel guy. I like their military and they have had to take a lot from terrorists granted the Palestineans(forgive my spelling error) have taken a lot from Israel.

RE: Axis and Allies tool wish list.
Yes, go simple. Complex can be nice but theres a lot bigger chance that 1. It will have lotsa problems in it. Or 2. You will give up because its too much work.

RE: World Cup!!!
Germany will be victorious!!! I just say to make it easier that the Turks must win, I would imagine them being a lot easier than what I would call the god team of soccer Brazil. All in all, Go Germany!

RE: Pictures
Seeing as there isn’t a pic of a Captain of any sort, I figured I would just show off my ride, don’t ask how I got it, just accept… :wink:

RE: Prime Factor
Whoever the guest is, your right about that. It’s dependent on the religion of those on the school board or whatever type of commitee they make to address the issue. That was a tactic that the hardcore christian’s of this nation used to get prayer in some school districts around the nation, get themselves elected into the school board to gain a majority control of it and then they could easily vote in prayer.
And to answer the question if all groups would endorse a time for each student to pray silently: I don’t really know, if you ask me it depends on how extreme the people that would vote on this issue are with their religion or the atheists are with having other religions also getting to pray in school.
And that Pledge of Allegiance thing, I agree, its BS to get rid of it completely all because of the words Under God. I mean dont say that if you are Atheist or dont believe in that god then its not that difficult to not say 2 words…

RE: Is there life outside our solar system ?
There are way too many galaxies with way too many planets to say there isn’t any other life, its just a matter of us finding it you ask me…

Hockey’s a great sport and all but isn’t this place for talking of the World Cup? :wink:

RE: Prime Factor
I’m with TG on that thing about Bush being a idiot because of his beliefs in religion being a part of the nation. The sad part of it is that its true, at least in schools because ever since the beginning of the 20th century there had always been conflicts between public schools and teachers or parents over things like teaching the theory of evolution in schools which they wouldn’t because it was against the word of the bible or something along those lines. Then we move along to about the '50’s or '60’s where atheist parents or parents of different religions were fighting to have prayer removed from schools because reciting it was against their beliefs(atheists by having to pray to god) or because it wasnt their god(case of muslims or most any other religion than christian). Worse yet, some of the hardcore christians have, even to this day, continued to fight to put prayer in the public school system even though it was removed since it was a conflict between the state and church.
I’m not saying religion is bad or anything, I’m just trying to show how the government had tried to mix religion with state which shouldn’t be done not just because of my belief that is shouldn’t but because its in our Constitition that church and state are to be separated.

RE: Governement Waste
Yeah well TG… Our current governor Gray Davis didn’t do the best job handling the power crisis you ask me and we are home to some of those lying cheating politicians. Otherwise Sactown is a good place.

RE: Bush Covering for an Invasion of Iraq?
I’m for taking Iraq, end of subject. One less hiding place for terrorists even though there would still be plenty of places and hey one less chemical producing nation to sell the stuff to the terrorists let alone one less nuke research program that could yield results for terrorists as well.

RE: Governement Waste
Lesser of evils? In my opinion all politicians are evil and lying and cheating(not just in politics) idiots that are over paid to sit around for 6 months voting for a bill that shouldn’t pass in the first place… I think you get the point that I’m a bit anti-government at least from a bureaucratic perspective :wink:

RE: Fav WW2 battle of study
Personally, I don’t think capturing Hawaii would have been that much of a thing for the Japanese even though they could have definetely pulled it off if they tried. Other than the naval base there, Hawaii isn’t an important strategic target unless of course they wanted to invade America itself…
It was a much better target as a air raid that way they wouldn’t need to garrison it against a much closer American mainland and they can still destroy the American fleet. Now if only Nagumo had ordered a third wave for attacking the sub pens and supplies…

RE: Serious topics.
Yeah I’m with phreek on that, my being 16 myself. Not only that, while I may have discussions with my friends something called peer pressure comes in (try telling your crush what you really want too :wink: ), but here theres no reason to not be afraid of posting your opinion, just put what you feel.
