No one said the state of communism you're describing is good. It was said a Perfect Communist state is the perfect state. We acknoledged that Communism is hard to achieve. Then you go bash USSR "communism", which is like saying "Pepsi or coke would be great cola if they had the mistakes fixed" (Random Example, I have a coke bottle next to me) "I hate cocaine! Its bad for you! It's Illegal!" They share the same name thats it. Can we get over the fact that Communism in practice (thus far in histor

I think I should mention somthing. I think we all realise that regions often share the same political view. I come from a very left region, I accually live in a university town (4 or 5 universities + countless colledges) which that is an extremely high ratio for the ammount of people who live here, and I'm very liberal for this region. So when I hear anti-abortion talk I must say, I reel back aghast.. That's the first think said in this conversation that really shocked me.. I have a hard time (a

"I read it several times in fact, so there is no need for me to reread it. I don't think it's acceptable to say something like that, even with a winky eye or smiley face after it. I would have been equally offended if the comment had been aimed at liberals." Dude, I think you wouldn't. I read through several jokes earilier on that offended me, but I didn't mention it. I don't like the fact that it isn't OKay to say somthing along the lines of "Lets kill em all" a characteristically unli

For those earilier people who couldn't tell "kill all extreme right-winged" was a joke.. It was. Travis. Liberalism do not subdue freedom. Conservitism subdues freedom, the whole "Freedom for Security" thing, Thats not a liberal plan. The curtailing of free speech amongst ANY of its citizens, The not the liberal thing to do. Not allowing states to sucede from your Union, that not a liberal thing to do. Check out Amsterdam, (uncomfirmed) the most liberal place in the world.

Holding the line at Fort Socialism: Because even handed balance is the only FAIR thing to do. Fairness is at the heart of any 'perfect' society. "The anti-terrorism bill you have no business touching. That's a matter of our security." Why do you need security? I think the problem would be better solved if you took a preventitive stance, I'm not talking about bombing the hell out of them and saying "Now they won't try that again!", because that would be deterance, which

The fact that your giving it a spin, A Terran spin. Propaganda is "3 : ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause" (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary) and that's wrong, its the manipulation of information thats immoral, the spin thats almost always there that's immoral, its the posters, the slogan, THATS whats evil about propaganda.

Computer too stingy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I am at war with the Drengin and the Altarens (both Evil) and Allied with the Arceans and the I league. The League has Avatars but won't trade for me for 5 techs and all my money. Did I mention we're at mutual war? There should be a desperation/request button "Since that tech could turn the war, wanna give me it for free?" ~SDC~

"GalCiv is full of radical right wing propaganda designed to confuse and frighten gamers. Things like NRA forever, better dead than red, let the hungry eat the homeless, etc. It's all over the place... NOT." Radical no. Right Winged, yes. It's so .. US. From your advisor's picture to the Senate its very US. Is that how we picture the world ending up? A US state?

Reply to A Peaceful Galaxy in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Some players don't play the game for a challenge. I don't play GalCiv to "push myself to my limits" because losing isn't fun. That may sound childish, but after 10 hours of building up an iron grip on the galaxy, I don't want to suddenly take a losing streak and loose it all. Plus, when I start on games like GalCiv, I can't even wrap my brain around what I'm supposed to be doing so I just try testing the waters. I don't need to get my but handed to me when I'm doing that. Thats why people play e

"Die Humans" revisted in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Okay, I've never seen it before (althought I've heard of it) I saw one this game, didn't think much about it and blew it out of the ... space, Then A disgruntled worker kills Lord Kona.. Lord Kona was my ally, but since I have 2 rangers: pre-cursor and I specialise in war, I'm not worrying. I instantly impose a peace and then two, three turns later 12 ship under the drengin flag with the name "Die Humans!" Now did somone put up the Die Humans crank or is it just me? ~SDC~

Reply to The Perfect RTS in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

My Idea of the perfect RTS: A game where there is: Custom.. Before you start you build an "Army" the units stats are completly up to you, but the cost is dependant upon features you add in. And the graphics change depending what you put in. RTS I'd most like to see: One thats built using a flight sim, so has realistic aerial combat. You could tell your planes to patrol etc. but you still have ground units, but air craft are highly effective. Have planes from WWI to Futuristi

Or in a democracy, More likely to get people to vote for the Stardock party, but ultimately you will lose due to the ammounts of seats you'd get.. because like... it would be people like rustyblade running in other constituncies.. and we like rustyblade but he's not well known through out ... and his policies would be Angelina based... and .. well he'd probablly win but not everyone.. <
