I wish to know how went the H1N1 vaccine distribution in the USA (or at least, the states that you lived in). Was it efficient? Did all people that wanted a vaccine got one? Who did the distribution? Did you had to pay?
What is your point? Both are ashamed/angry at the direction their country is taking. That is pretty much it. Do you suggest that one is automatically better than the other? Edit: And one side brainwashed their children into believing what they do. But then again, even if not depicted, so do the other side. So it's kif-kif.
have multiple forts being inneficient. And have administrative tech improving the organisation. Or create a mini-faction with one of your heroes are its leader, so the fort is administrated by him rather than your nation. They are supposed to be loyal to you. But who knows how opportunistic he might become...
[quote]Since, Cikomyr, I doubt I'm not going to get a response to the questions that I posed.[/quote] Which one? [quote] I beat that you think that somehow Liberals, atheist and agnostics can never do any wrong.[/quote] Actually, that is quite false. Ideology does not make one right. [quote]Let's just forget about what happened in the 20s with the whole eugenics, euthanasia (and Dr. Jack), and forget ancient Greek/Roman.[/quote] Indeed. Let's also forge
[quote]That could make her the power broker, but not the power.[/quote] Power broker can hand you the power. Hitler was the power broker, and he eventually got the leadership. I KNOW, I probably didn't used the best example. But it's just that I don't have any other example of a democracy where one side was influencial ennough without having actually won the election that he managed to get into power. The moment you give me a better example, I'll edit this post.

[quote]Better watch out for those fatwas![/quote] You know what? I really. Really. REALLY go insulted by Comedy Central about South Park's "Cartoon Wars". I didn't got insulted that they censored Muhammed taking tea. (I'm not muslim, so I don't really care) I didn't got insulted that they didn't censored Jesus & Bush shitting on the american flag (I'm not American, and I don't believe in Jesus, so I don't really care). I got insulted that they had d
[quote]I doubt they are either patriots or Christians.[/quote] You know, many muslims I know say that the muslim terrorists aren't muslims at all. Since most of the violence caused "in the name of Islam" is directed against muslims, I think they might be on to something. It's just easy to label anyone as an extremist religious nut, when it's not your religion involved. You can make an easy link between the involved religion and nutiness. It's not a proper link, but it's a link
[quote]The key for China is can they transition like Japan did? In othere words, be as smart.[/quote] Japan had a very strong central power that was able to hold the reins of the whole country, not to forget that it never brewed world-class influence ambition like China currently does. China is inherently fragmented between the dozen different ethnicity and geographical realities making it. The drastic contrast between the coastal and the inland makes it a very unbalanced coun
[quote]Sarcasm my good man[/quote] I just don't understand what you see so offensive about the idea. I think Palin could win a lot out of the deal, and the Tea Partiers would win a lot too by having such strong leader. You'd have a clear, defined, and actually properly conservative political movement not tainted by pork barrel.
[quote]Not that China is on its way down yet, far from it. [/quote] Actually, it has started. China has started restricting credit to prevent more growth, and you have seen a recent crackdown in government's authority to reinforce Beijing's rule, to prevent dissent caused by lack of economical growth. You can see the cracks. The whole structure might collapse gently, or strongly.

Hey. talk of the devil. http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/29/michigan.arrests/?hpt=C1 But then again, since the SPLC had labelled them as "dangerous patriot group", they were probably nice christian Tea Partiers who got a bad press, right? The only thing the SPLC does it exagerating and promoting it's Liberal agenda, right? There is no possibility of them actually shedding the light on dangerous
[quote]Sometimes I think you are just too nice[/quote] Or extremely insulting to all religious people, so daring to suggest that their leaders are not really taking their dogma to heart.
[quote]Maybe they should ask Nancy Pelosi what would work best for them?[/quote] Because Nancy Pelosi isn't at all in synch with the ideological claim the Tea Parties have, while Palin is probably the most charismatic figure sharing both the ideologies and the desire to refurbish the GoP?
[quote]But I am not projecting a rational psyche, but a fervent hatrid backed up by a religious dogma.[/quote] I am projecting a rational psyche, using religious dogma to get its way. Like any other religious-driven political leaders.
[quote]I like the idea of Global Food as mentionned by Frogboy earlier, but I have different opinions on different ideas. I personally disagree with the idea of diminishing food percentage farther you are from the city that produces it. The main reason for my disgreement is that if my caravan is able to take 500kgs of wheat from city X to city Y which is 10 tiles away, than that caravan should be able to take that same amount of food to city Z which is 10 more tiles away, although it would ta
[quote]but that besides point you are all telling me that there is nothing you like to see add that the family thing is just 100% aokay as it is and that none of you have anything you like to see added to it [/quote] They were telling that there is nothing to criticize yet, as the dynasty system hasn't been implimented. When it'll get to that part in the development phase, they will start putting on suggestions. In the meanwhile, it isn't worth criticising a half-baked game co
[quote]Hmm, if you raze a city ... do those people go back into the "wilderness pool"? Also makes the act of Exterminating a population, as opposed to merely razing a city, more evil and sinister as it reduces the overall population pool.

In that case, exterminating cities and being the ennemy of All That Lives make sense on a strategic point of view,

[quote]What is most laughable is the Joker Picture. Bush was first portrayed that way, and it was just political humor. But then Obama was portrayed that way and all of a sudden it is racist. That is probably the most non-racist posting I could think of (equallity under the law and all). But then liberals only see race, they do not see people.[/quote] While I disagree with what the original poster wrote, and I don't have any trouble with people depicting Obama as a monkey, you have to

[quote]So the Tea Partiers should not get into bed with them! [/quote] Obviously not. I wasn't advocating for the Tea Partiers to get in bed with them through Palin. But Palin leave the badly-managed GoP to lead this new party. Ya know, an establishment-free organisation that would go a long way toward tilting the scale in some crucial elections?
[quote]Some clarification? On JU or nationally?[/quote] Nationaly [quote]Then you weren't paying attention before. The notion that this is new or different, or unique to the right, is a sycophantic media fantasy, one they are intentionally perpetuating, knowing it to be false.[/quote] Which is why I asked when the debate became more radical. Or the environment so toxic. I doubt it happened during Obama's era. But I do remember the frantics existing during Bush's 04 ele
The link is usually not accessible for people who aren't registered to STRATFOR. I wanted to have initial comments first. My personnal comment is that, if STRATFOR is really serious about the downfall of China's economy (and they certainly make a good case out of it), what will happen to all these businesses who are refocusing their operation toward China, and with the whole paradigm that "China will be the new world's leader soon".
