If the best we can come up with is remove a dictator with no real power to influence the world militarily or otherwise, and after four years of Iraqi's not cooperating with an occupier, subjugate, enforce, utterly destroy major cities, perhaps we should leave them to Iran. Whip listen to what you are saying. "summarily executing every man, woman, or child even suspected of resistance." Thats not right, that's not the moral guiding light this country is supposed to be

"malodorous" "warbling" "sundry" "effluvium" "deucedly" Wheres my dictionary? "orgasm faking acrid smog of oppressively caustic oral effluvium." Wow. Asinine... I may be, but at least it isn't all one sided Aye Mason?

I think the goal is to limit the use of nuclear weapons given the negative effects such as... -Nuclear radiation poisoning -Catastrophic infrastructure damage -Thousands of years of radiological contamination -World wide Economic Depression I'm sure there are other ones that have been said before just can't think of them maybe later. You know the UK has been with us nearly every step of the way, certainly more often the any other country since WW2. I think

Reply to Who Wants the Draft Re-instated? Democrats Do. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Well I do believe that he first suggested that some in congress want a draft, and that there is national support for it, and then it was that there is a disproportionate percentage of blacks in the army and being killed in Iraq, and now he is the one calling for the draft. While a great number of congress persons as well as the vast majority of political opinion is for a reduction in the commitment rather then an expansion of an army and armed forces presence in Iraq. A draft would gre

"Dan, look at the content of the blog you are trolling people on? You are another one that has consistently been a wet blanket where ever you post. I see your name, I expect a steamer." Consistently, well I hate to disappoint, I did take a 2-3 week hiatus expecting to come back to some more or less opinionated discussions. Not sure how you can state me being consistent. Also if stating an opinion is trolling, then I honestly don't care. I have every bit as much right to state mine as yo

Ever since the cold war, democracies armed forces have been drastically cut back in favor of leaner, more capable per unit forces, but lesser long term deployable forces. The British have come to the end of their ability to support and maintain military operations at the constant deployment tempo and world wide scale that has been Afghanistan & Iraq. It would be wise for the United States to realize that we too have limits to our ability to deploy. "How long is Brit

Charlie Wrangle seems to be the only one interested in bringing back the draft, an army of draft dodgers, unsupportable military actions, as well as a lesser then professional force then we already have today. He's pathetic.

"Someone, I do not recall who, said that the worst invention of war was the smart bomb. Why? because now it is expected that colateral damage will be kept to a minimum. But war is not 2 warriors dueling in an arena. It is death and destruction. And the civilized world has lost the stomach for colateral damage. " Ewww, war is about efficiency, and domination.

"the oceans will warm up enough to start releasing the trillions of tons of frozen methane trapped just below the surface of the ocean bottom." Paladin pull your pants up and do tell me all about the difference between a lengthy research and the bullshit you spew online, as well as a quick internet search... Frozen methane? How about frozen methane hydrate. Maybe, but doubtful.

Reply to Global Warming is REAL in The Environment JoeUser Forums

I'm curious as to why your equations, if linear, don't go backward in the same way that they go forward. "the earth is warming on average of one degree per century." If this were true, and the rate were linear, that is if today's average earthly temperature were 60 deg F, and 1000 years ago it were 10 degrees cooler, 2000 years ago, 20 degrees, 3000 years ago, 30 degrees cooler, you could go back less then 10,000 years and expect to lower the average earth temperatures to a lev

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

After the next expansion, it would seem no sacrifice of single player gameplay, would come about through development of multiplayer considering Galciv I, GalcivII DL, and Galciv II DA all exist as single player expriences, and assuming stardock would continue to support DA as they have with Galciv I and Galciv II DL, I can see no reason aside from the polls to not jump into a MP expansion. It would still be a very welcome feature. Perhaps in 2008? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

Sounds like an exploit of the Anything Insane. Try that shit with a human and you'd get the colonies so far away from you border upgraded you'd have to fight for hours to get to em but yeah with the AI I can see that working like a charm.

Reply to Constructor Micromanagement in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You know what I think would kick ass, I think if constructors would automatically form fleets, what do u think about that guys? I mean form the largest fleet size your logistics could support. And and and... how about this. If the AI would always leave say two or maybe just one constructor outside the conglomerate fleet? Huh huh what do ya all think? That way it wouldn't be such a pain in the ass to move the gobs of constructors you have to do get em to the starbases.

Reply to I don't like using small ships at all in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I like to keep new variants of ships coming out, I usually dont do that with the tiny ships cause they are just too small, but small and medium ships for sure. I dump all stock ships, then I create the fastest colony ship from the get go and same with constructor. I abbreviate them, CLY-A, CSTR-A then the next time a new engine shows up, I'll go with CLY-B, so I can still have the older version available if there are some still enroute to planets. I'll declare them obsolete BUT when ask

"The one thing that gets to me is the overwhelming amount of micromanagement involed in the later stages of the game." Play on a smaller map.
