Now Saddam was hanged for slaughtering 125 men at Dujail, don't get silly, please, Saddam has caused the death of many, many more people than that.. Thousands would be a minimum. But, also did the U.N.'s blockade enforced by the U.S.A... starvations kills a lot, doesn't it? Or does the statistics only consider them as "natural death"? more tham 750,000 people have died And you should not count
Good question. PC literally means politically correct. IN this case, I used it to mean the people that cannot tolerate opposing viewpoints on Global Warming. I see. Even if mostly everywhere in the world (save the U.S.) global warming man-made has been accepted as a fact? Mostly, I see the negationisms as victims of the heavy polluters's propaganda.. and/or people who just want to get rich not caring about the environnement. Here in Ca
Just as the anti-war people didn't care about them when Saddam was slaughtering them. My guess would be that they wanted the killing be kept to a minimum, which was hardly accomplished by coming and shooting. And the main answer that I get from Draginol & Co. when I argue about the death their governement's policy caused, in Iraq, Palestine and other places, the answer is "Why should I care?". It simply underline my opinion that they li
I would like to ask what you refer when you talk about "PC"?
don't bother using Iraqi's thousand deaths as an argument on this forum. JU's regular users don't care about them - or so they told me often -
Congressional attempts to repeal the District's gun ban in recent years have been criticized as attacks on the District's right to home rule. I think it's pretty unfair that the Congress can put their nose into a district's business. Specially since this district isn't represented fully as it should. Why should the rest of USA rule a district's internal government?
http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/israel-iran-get-worlds-thumbsdown/2007/03/05/1172943356742.html First, I point you to this link, wich reflects the opinion that the U.S. is one of the 4 worst-perceived country in the world, along Israel, N-Korea and Iran. It's mainly the point of the iceberg. I am sure that, while many people would not say they have a bad opinion of the U.S. in general, they consider it's foreign policy completely bad. I have raised the point o
I've read about Vanguard's diplomacy system, and it seems neat for a Human-AI negociation. How do you think it could be implimented in a TBS?
Indepth Diplo Strats - this cant be done with real players, at least not in simple and fun way, you would need AI players for that. This can't be done effectively with a RTS game. I don't know.. what about a Vanguard-style diplomatic system?
If they actually worked hard I would actually get my food fast (hence the name fast food) and I would get much better service than I do in 85% of the fast food places I eat. I should know, I worked in a KFC for 2 years. I was the best cook the place had ever had, I was the only Supervisor that cooked on Fridays and/or Saturdays cause no one could handle those days like I could. With hardly any left overs at the end of the day and no waiting by the customers for food th
Okay, why don't you tell us why former Communist countries, where the people have lived for 50 years with the government doing everything for them, that population decrease is most severe. What is your theory? Ever since the fall of R.U.S.S., these country haven't been "that" much of a communist. Internal corruption, bad social services and heavy povrety (damn, what's the spelling..?) haven't helped.
Draginol runs the world! In which new computer game, non-complaining Master of the Universe? Draginol answers: Where I work, we treat people very well. Our turn-over is extremely low. As a result, we are able to do things that take other companies vastly more people to do. Treating people well is good business. As a businessman/game developper, I consider Draginol to be an effective genius. He
...Hmmm. former communist countries...i.e. where everything is provided by the government...has lower birth rates.. Hmm. Yea, very hard to see any pattern there... False comparison. You use the topic to promote some of your belief. Can't we have a serious discussion about a very serious problem? No the problem is that people think that having a big screen TV, two cars, a big house, and 5 nights of eating out are a mini
That's what a "husband" is for In many places, a single man's income is not ennough to support a whole family (who just had 1 baby, and possibly even more before), that's the whole problem
If he was a true Canadian, then he would not have dual citizenship. I would question a person like that on many levels. He commits a crime, runs home to Chavez, and Canada cannot touch him. Right! That makes sense. ....... Consider the sponge thrown. You are just too stupid.. yhea, he came to canada when he was 3-4 years old, anticipating to become a professionnal mechanical when he will be 25-30 in order to work on American military he
So you want someone that has a grudge against you to fix your brakes on your car? Get serious! Only a fool would let someone hostile to them work on a critical application. That is not a witch hunt! That is common sense! Let's explain the absurdity of the situation: Someone who is born in Venezuela, but immigrated Canada when he was still a young man (let's hypotheticly say 3-4 years old). He is allowed double-citizenship. But he will loose his
So after instituting a massive entitlement directed at increasing birthrate Quebec went from dying off to dying off but slightly slower? This is not an example of success. Hey, that's still and example of improvement. Meaning that it's a step in the right direction. The main problem underlined over here is the financial problem of women who WANTS to have children, but just can't afford it. A capitalist society isn't fited to allow a woman to l
That's probably because we don't actually care about your country one way or the other. *sigh* This just remake my whole point. Is there one goddamn piece of the world that you actually care, excepted your interests? Or better yet, I'd love to see a criminal penalty for Anti-American speech uttered by Canadian morons. We are kinda tolerant about a lot of political speeches. The only form we do n
Global warming? The only reason some Canadians are interested is because of your huge areas of undeveloped land that you can make money off of under the new "pollution swapping" scheme. Strange. Mainly in the media here, people say because we care about the environnement, and since our climate is getting more fucked up every year, we see the beggining of the global warming, so we try to act . This is not the McCarthy
My whole point being: you act toward people like me, who try to make you realise things, like McCarthy to someone saying "hey.. aren't you a little paranoid and unfair in your communist hunt?". You either insult the person, or accuse them of backing the ennemy.
mean, here you have some Canadian, the country that will arrest you if you say the wrong thing, Prove this lie The only things you can say are slanderings or quasi-religious moto from the right.
American exceptionalism is what makes us...well...exceptional. Off course, if americans are the only one different from the rest of the world, it's the world that is wrong? Call me childish and unrealistic if you wish, I just want to tell you that you really seem delusionnal about reality. The "rest of the world" (i.e. Canada and Europe apparently) is dying out. They're not even breeding enough to replace the
It might also be a self-fulfilling prophecy in that people might not want to have their children live in the world they see coming Now that's defeatism
What is really depressing is that you Canadians have nothing better to do than make Canadian bacon and throw every bad singer (Celine Dion, Brian Adams) across the border. The day you guys can actually make a difference in the world, then maybe you can actually criticize what others do. You just countered your own point. What is the purpose of doing anything if American never hear about it? There is a lot more in Canada than stupid stereotypes, ye know
Just so you know, Cikomyr does not represent all Canadians and certainly not this one. Many of us have flown American flags since 911. It's true there are mixed feelings about Iraq, but locally, in this city, we have had more than a few young men that have given their lives in Afghanistan, supporting American freedom as well as our own. which I totaly support. the war in Afghanistan was totaly justified, and I do not question it. 9/11 was an at
