ppl are so ready to accept defeat in a war because of the "Peace at all Cost" idea.... It is looked upon that if we pull out, there will all of a sudden be peace. And the Muslim Extremists will love us and shower flowers at our feet.... The sad part, the exact opposite will happen, as we, America, will be looked upon as weak, which will embolden the terrorists even more. Just like they look at Black Hawk Down in that way, just like they took our response to all the other attack

let them outlaw it.....and let me get rich off the back of blacks that won't let it go. Do you know how many times I have heard racist remarks come from Blacks? Before you answer that, I lived in a rough part of large city....gangs and all. Hate speech, even though it is disgusting, is still part of freedom of speech. Hell, while I was in the military, there were times I was told that my grandparents had to have been slavers because I am white. That was about, oh, 10 yrs ago. I could h

I have things I would like to say to you, Col, but they are not nice. Instead, I will just say this: It is people like you, saying things like that, that causes this country to be a failure in the world. That was as nice as I could put it....

I also want to add: America is not TARGETING civilians. This has been brought up time and time and time again...but yet, you continue to ignore that. Terrorist purposely TARGET civilians. Where is the difference in that? You keep saying that we target civilians. We are not targeting civilians. It is a war, so yes, civilians will end up dying....but we are not targeting them. Terrorists walk into a shopping center and blow themselves up, FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF TAKING AS MANY CIVILIANS

but....let me ask you this: How can civilians be totally off-limits, when the enemy (terrorists) use them as human shields, dress like them, act like them (all the way up until they detonate the bomb strapped to themselves)? I am not for slaughtering innocent civilians....and wholesale killing of civilians should be denounced. But, when terrorists USE that thinking against us by melting into the civilian population, why should we be held responsible for civilian deaths? When a terroris

that was kinda harsh...I am going to re-write what I typed... What I am trying to say, Lucas, is that the majority of the liberals that I know (as friends, media, at work, on here, ect) DO defend the Muslims. I hear constantly that we are the problem....If that upsets you, then so be it....I guess you will just need to be upset. But, to be honest here...I see the same thing here. Some of the "liberals" in this very thread are defending it. But have I ever seen any of them defe

Brad, why even bother? These discussions always go to the point where America is the actual terrorists, and that the poor, downtrodden Muslims wouldn't bother anyone if the big bad America would just leave them alone.... Personally, it makes me sick to my stomach. The so-called "liberals" rally around the same flag of those that would strip them of every one of their rights. It is easy to say what they are saying....until those they are defending are forcing them to bow 5 times a day to

what always amazes me in these types of discussions is the fact that there are ppl that will jump over themselves to defend the Muslim religion. Especially when these same ppl will jump over themselves to condemn Christianity at the drop of a hat.

The real reason why the Republicns lost these election was the Iraq war. If there is an exit from Iraq well before 2008 then there will be a contse otherwise one can be sure of a Democrat at the White House. I disagree with this.... the Dems that I know (my family being staunchly democrat) don't want to just simply pick up and pull

I would like to know how people are expecting this to change people's votes? I really do not understand how this guy being gay (and not telling anyone) would cause a conservative to vote liberal.... I really just do not understand....

Gid....after reading so much of what you write (you are one of my favorites to read on here), I was looking into the Libertarian Party. I do not belong to any political party, though I do tend heavily to vote Republican.... When I read what you write, I want to look into it more....but when I read someone else's writings on the party (we all know who I am talking about here), I want to stay FAR away from the party.... I believe you have a good heart, Gid....and good luck!!

Here is my take on the Libertarian Party: Gideon was making me look into the party....you come along, and I don't want anything to do with the party.... I will stick to my conservative side of things....thanks for setting me on the right patch, Conners....

Conners....how many times will you vote democrat next week? The funny thing here, is since when did Kerry become the Champion for the Soldiers? It seems like every other time the man opens his mouth, he insults the soldiers, or insults something that many of them believe in. You are so liberal, and there isn't an ounce of independant party in you, that if being a liberal democrat was being shiny, you would be blinding.

I have come back to the game after nearly a 2-year "lay-off". I am really enjoying it again. I have tried to play it again a few times since it was released, but just couldn't. I had to drop out of EQ2. Dying 4 times in one morning due to lag would do that to you So, I returned to WoW, and very hap

anyone have any thoughts on this game? I am personally loving it.... I am in a MP game, but also playing a SP game (and having a blast). In my SP game, I am pretty much right in the middle of the other 4 AI's. Agartha is on my western side, across the seas. Bandar Log is right to my east. Vanheim was down south. And Mictlan was to the far north, across the seas. I am taking out Vanheim, while containing Agartha (hit and run raids into their provinces), while weakening and pushi

try the demo....55 bucks could be a lot of money if it is a game you end up not liking. But, really, for me, it is the best fantasy tbs game out. Even topping MoM (a game that for some reason, I just did not like much). It is for sure head and shoulders above Age of Wonders 2, a game that I played a whole week and a half. Regarding space vs. magic....I take magic. Sci-fi is interesting....but I would rather watch Lord of the Rings, than a Star Trek movie. Even LotR over Star Wars.....b

yes....the manual breaks things down really well (at least I thought it did). I played the other two, but never went so far as most of the ppl on the shrapnel forums. I understand what is going on, but that is pretty much it. What things are you having difficulty with? I can try to help you out. I am not sure what is in the demo, as I did not play the demo. The manual is, like I said, 300 pages. There are formulas that explain combat, magic and why things happen the way they

oh, forgot to mention....the manual is a manual that takes you back to the days of MANUALS. 300 pages, spiral bound....it is a combo of manual and strategy guide. More like a reference manual. Incredible manual.... (NOTE: I could not find an edit button, so I had to reply to my own message) EDIT: duh....it is located in the "tools" button....

The game has been out for a few days now...and just wondering if anyone has it? I have it, and let me just say, I really like the changes. Though many of the changes are subtle, I think overall, the game is MUCH better than Dominions 2. The way the fortresses are done to the the new ages to the old age mechanic....so many good things in Dom3. If we have ppl that have the game, lets get a MP game set up and going....Brad?

He isn't a democrat because his family has supported republicans....don't any of you know that already??!!?? Anyways....I find it...well, stupidly funny, to jump on Bakerstreet, when he DID admit he was wrong...You on the other hand....you continue to spout off your (non)democrat BS talking points.... Baker has never said that the guy is a great guy because of it...he has said, though, that the ppl that made it ok to do it, should also be held accountable. I guess if you were
