its them dieing not us This is just crass stupidity. It's the sort of ignorant bigoted bullying that redneck fools cling to because there too stupid to realise there is a world outside America. Don't you dare drag me and other countries into your madness. Some peoples don't actually consider America or it's home grown murderers and manage to get a perspective we also manage to make our own minds up with regard to global atrocity. I bet you w

all of this is in revolations Utter nonsense, What a bigoted and truly idiotic view of Christianity. I bet you even believe in the Rapture. people have been burning american flags since i was born becouse of our policies A comedian said " America has finally united the rest of the world, We even have our own flag. It's the same as America's, but ours is on fire" <div class="Article_Quote"

Where exactly would a red necked Kuwaiti Arab live? Have you any idea how they might think? Did you consider that maybe they might even be loyal Americans? Or are you just an ignorant racist?

Reply to Iraqi bloodbath,. in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

t really ticks me off that America had to miss out on the poetic justice of Quait getting invaded after telling America to F off. Imagine if the rest of the world had to Push Saddam out without America? No red necked Arab could argue against those western infidels being in the middle East, they would be sucked in and have to cop it sweet. You're idea of America seems more like the bar room "Oi Fuk 'ead, You looking at me misses?" approach to wor

I've now had time to read all the posts here. Just a couple of comments. My first one is. What a shame that America has suffered such a blight in world opinion, I don't blame the American people, I blame the idea that Bush supports, That is America has the right to impose it's values on others and anyone who disagrees is either a traitor or disloyal to the military to an extent that will cause coalition lives. I say, This is a despotic argument that only a dictato

He was describing the geography of Great Britain in a sarcastic way, making fun of those who use the term Great Britain and England interchangably. England is only a small part of a greater nation comprised of England, Scotland, Whales, and Northern Ireland. So really Great Britain is his country, not England. Exactly, dude, your country is England, you wouldn't internationally call yourself b

To add my pennies worth to the arguments here. There are and will always be conflicts, people in authority will never agree with the status quo, wars, bloodbaths, holocaust's are somewhat inevitable as our planets power hungry, socially uneducated and politically naive governments attempt to solve the ills of other nations. I only wish the truth be told to us citizens and with that true motives underpin whatever actions we consider. If this isn't possible then we should lea

I'm letting this thread go for now (notice the stickied note here in the OTF), since it doesn't appear to have descended into a flamewar as yet.

Reply to Real glad I held of buying DA. in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think it's more important to notice the people who can't use the product they paid for than quote the ones who can. "only X% of our customers paid £Y for nothing, thats fine as Z% got a working product. I suggest when you pay for your internet and it doesn't work you should consider all of the rest of us online while your phoning customer service especially when they tell you "I'm fine thanks, My internet works great, bye."

Reply to At what price are they lost? in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

It is truely tragic that lives are lost, especially in conflict. But I must disagree, especially when you equate their loss to our loss of freedom, Our troops die for our freedom not despite it. If they die for anything it has to be for the freedom of the rest who don't give the ultimate sacrifice. If they die and freedom is lost then surely they die in vain.

Look, if you want to hate George Bush, then just say "I hate George Bush." It's simple but honest, and people will respect you for that. Just quit randomly jabbering about things like "sectarian violence", "conspiracies" and "politics." It doesn't make anyone else seem somehow naughty; it just makes you look sillier than you have to. You need help constructing an argument. I'll think for you

Marcus, your theory is very interesting. I find it hard to believe that Republicans in the US, besides those few in the administration now, will keep supporting the war for much longer. And it has everything to do with the elections in 2008. I wish I didn't think like this. I would love to believe in a overriding western humanitarianism defining our nations role but sadly the facts seem to belie this. I am not certain whether this is a bilateral con

Should i agree, NOPE. Does Vista work? many a post on many a forum, say different. Vista is a heap of shit and it will be for at least a year, like every other MicroSoft OS. Considering this is a total rewrite I give it 2 years before it's even slightly worth installing. Anyone who has ever installed "Windows" knows to shy away from new releases, Especially gamers. Please don't bleat on about dx10, especially if you have to saddle it to a lame donkey with arthritis

The west has tried to blame the escalating sectarian murders and impending civil war on the Iraqi peoples, whether it be Sunni against Shia or vice versa. this is a major tragedy that the "freeing" of Iraq should have foreseen. This tragedy should have been anticipated. I blame America and Britain. There will be a massive bloodbath in Iraq. The west can do nothing to stop it now, But we should have never caused it. Our governmental intransigence has forced this situation to over

I have just started watching another documentary "propogandamentary" about the "war" in Iraq, This one is called "America at a crossroads" Sound like the same old story. certain facts intermixed with totally unrelated images and video, designed to give a false impression of the ineptitude in this situation. It just goes to prove, to me, that "truth" is a pseudo fiction that can be told in many different ways. It is surely a fact that there are many views, politics. despera

seriously though, the idea of a muslim country with nukes scares me allot! I mean it is so easy to imagine muslims being perfectly willing to destroy the world and themselves at the drop of a hat as soon as somone did somthing to offend them. Being the perfect "devils advocate" I would hypothesise that America might be the next country that uses nuclear weapons in anger.

What does this mean? How can you define my fear? And what Constitutional change? Watch the news, read the papers, especially tabloids, their whole rhetoric is based upon mass media sales, those sales are only achieved by escalating a crisis into hysterics if possible. then look at the propaganda released by our governments. Is it designed to help us understand the nature of the wars our leaders wage, or is it more likely designed to scare us int

Lol, well its in the offtopic forum. And you are right though, this is a unusual topic for a videogame site. XD I apologise if this has made people think outside games. It was just a thought I had and I wondered if other people, even gamers, had thoughts of politics and their world. If not, then tough, it is off topic, so to quote a theologian Politics Blahhh!!!!!
