[quote].Is it becoming difficult for the US single handedly to conduct the war and the NATO allies are not helping.[/quote] USA is not single-handely conducting the War, and Canada is over-extending it's military to lend a hand there! Canada has the highest loss/soldier ratio in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2 years!

I often simply boil down both options to: Who gains the most from their positions? I mean, except Al Gore's reputed-carbon credit making companies, and some lefty group who earn money to FIGHT to enforce regulation of greener industries, I don't see what is the advantages of the scientists or the environnemental groups. If they win their fight, they'll end up with no more money, since they would not be any reason to fight anymore. But on the other hand, the big compani

[quote]When I speak of "us" I do not mean to imply I'm American because I'm not. I think "us" really stems down to people of all nationalities, being "American" is hardly the justice to the word "us". Just think of what goes through your mind when I inform you that I am Canadian, do you sense the stereo types surfacing? Or do you draw the line logically between what I say?[/quote] I am a Canadian (actually, I would prefer to be called a Quebecois) myself, and I have to reflect a little

GalCiv2 Forumsindeed. And I understand you, Sethpenguin. Been there too, but don'T worry. As you'll grow up, you'll either begin to understand the appeal of low-cerebral games, or you will find peoples who appreciate the same kin of games than you do. We all belong somewhere, we just don't have the chance to begin there.

This idea has been nagging in my head for years. I've played Age of Wonder II, I've played other Fantasy RTS games, and while I've enjoyed the experience a lot, there is something.. that lacks. How it is that when you play the elves, you start at the same time than the humans. You start at the same level technologically / technically than the humans? It's not logical. in typical fantasy, elves have been around for MILLENIA when the first human kingdoms started cropping around. Same th

It's truly a tragedy. But I would say it is not totally surprising. I remember, in 2006, there was an afghan condemned to death because he had converted to christianism! Muslims are true hyppocrit when it comes to converts. But after all, aren't all religions? (some more than others... All right, Islam more than others in our times) [quote]and there are people in Europe and here in the Western Hemisphere who think it's ok to welcome Shariah law... in the name of "inclusion" and "toleran

Companies should not be trying to make pirating harder. On the whole, this simply causes trouble for the paying customers, who are often upset about the thousand copy protections around the game they PAID. Here is a link to Shamus's Young blog about piracy, and I think he makes a pretty darn good point [link="http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1558#more-1558"]Shamus Young's Twenty Sided Dice[/link] Look at Stardock's policy toward pirating.

Draginol, here is a comment I found on a website about exactly the same article: [quote]I find I really like the way Stardock has handled the issue with Sins of a Solar Empire. No copy protection but you also won’t get updates until you use a valid non-duplicated serial number. I did in fact pirate this game, played for 2 hours (too caught up to stop at the 1 hour mark), loved it and bought it online with the download option. Went to download it via their download manager and it detecte

On the other hand, the Earth itself can eliminate good quantities of greenhouse gases everydays, right? Trough forests and algae, if I remember. But with the huge deforestation provoked by man in the last centuries (and even moreso in the last century), don't you think that elimination capacity has been somewhat lowered? Or pollution of Ocean areas also lowered the absorption capacity? If you have a huge water tank that spill 25 gallon/minutes, and you fill it 25 gallon/minutes

[quote]Marriage is defined by the same book that defines sex outside marriage as a sin as the union between a man and a woman[/quote] Therefore, you consider them automaticly bad peoples because of what they are. If your "book" said that black people are sinful, you would believe the same. Luckily for them, they have been spared. Homosexual peoples are not as lucky, and peoples like you and KFC simply makes it easier for people to accept their rejection as "normal behavior".

[quote]Sorry but you have yet to prove you know anything about the subject other than what the priest of this hoax has touted.[/quote] What priest? Al Gore? Never even saw his movie/conference. But I do know that a study on the seal population in Alaska proved that they are slowly dying because of the fish they usually feed have been replaced by ones who are attuned to warmer climate, and have a lower fat density. So the Seals do not absorb as much fat as they should, and they

[quote]And you're right Doc....I do have a bias AGAINST this agenda....not hate tho. So thanks for being right on.[/quote] Simply fighting against the gay community's agenda denotes a serious negative connotation. What is their agenda? To be accepted by all fringe of the population, and everybody sees them as "normal people", so that a gay teen is not ostracised in school. A high percentage of the gay population has mental/social trouble that resulted of the negative attitude of many p

You didn't intervened in WWII to save their sorry asses, but to save your own sorry asses. You simply saw soon (as opposed to WWI) that it would be better to make a united stand against the Axis.
