[quote]Do you really feel that guns are neither good or bad? If you do feel that they are neither good or bad then why do you feel the need to persuade some one the counter point (example here some feels guns are good and you're trying to persuade the counter side)? Now, if guns are neither bad nor good then why ban them? You brought up the point of banning guns by listing off those countries so what is the point in banning guns?[/quote] Because if this was an argument abo

Is there anything Obama has done that lets you believe that he doesn't care about the state of nuclear proliferation in the Gulf region? What kind of action would convince you that he actually is proactive about it? A military strike?

Reply to Forts: the "starbase" of elemental in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

How about setting supply lines? Having outposts to host your supply base, so that outside of this range, your troops would slowly loose strenght because of no food, no arrows, etc.. Some units would be "self-sufficient", like Rangers. These supply outposts would eventually be upgraded to defensive forts or trade centers, impeding the ennemy's troop movement, strenght, or increasing your own trade in the region. These outposts would be both a great strategic focal point for the

Socialism is an economic belief, not an organisational structure of society that would be akin to democracy, feodalism, etc.. Granted, many socialist sociery have derived into dictatorships, but not all. And socialism isn't the single credo of dictatorships.

[quote]Oh come on, those are the worst two examples you come up with. The Iraq war, for all intensive purpose, ended in 2008. It lasted longer than US involvement in WWII. How long was the Allied occupation of Europe and Japan? Five years? More? Talk to me about Iraq in 2013. Afghanistan is still a hot war, it should not even be included. But if it makes you feel better about being self-righteous to use terms like conquered, and self-evident games, more power to you. America bad, but in a goo

Cannon would be interesting, indeed. Some sort of low-tech blackpowder weaponry for the civilisation having more focus on high technology and industry, as opposed to those focusing on developping high magic and troop training (ex: High Elves). And also, why wouldn't cannons be able to beat dragons, magical armor and the like? Can't you just enchant the cannon to away hit right? To shoot iceballs?

[quote] That is why a National ID would be a valuable item to a thief.

What more is there gonna be on it that isn't on the SSC? (and by the way, do you need to show the card itself to get a job, or you can simply give your SSN and an ID?)
