    On the Literary Achievements of the Human Race

    I'm more partial to stuff that's you know, good. Foundation series for life.

    Is president Bush the worst US president ever?

    Oh it changed the nature of society. I just don't think it changed it to anything particularly good for the country. It wasn't. The German Foreign Minister, incredibly, confirmed that it was real. He also explained his reasons for sending it, but they didn't much care about that. The fact...

    Never Again?

    Highly unlikely. You must be referring to older military technology, because they probably didn't steal it and they definitely didn't develop an equivalent to the F-22 without us noticing it.

    Never Again?

    They might actually have a shot at setting up a decent ABM defense, actually. The country is so small that many overlapping defenses can be created. No way to defend against short range nuclear attacks, of course. Or someone just driving a truck in with a primitive dirty bomb.

    Writing an article about the evolution of warfare

    I think the most vital change is in the degree of asymetricality that warfare has taken. Massively powerful armies with weapons systems capable of destroying any conventional foe against untrained insurgents with thirty-year old hand me downs from the former Soviet Union.

    Is president Bush the worst US president ever?

    You've just demonstrated a failure to grasp basic economic theory. The government spent taxpayer money to employ individuals in public works projects that had no direct benefit to the economy (with a few exceptions). The only goal was to provide employment, and since that is government...

    Has this ever happened to you while driving?

    And that would establish you as, at the minimum, a sociopath. Ugh.

    Has this ever happened to you while driving?

    This is like the gom jabbar. Good god. I was just sitting there in gape jawed horror, wondering how many of them were intentional and how many were accidental. And concomitant felt my loathing for "humanity" rising to the fore. Waht a terrible way to die or (worse) be completely crippled for...

    Flash Wargames1983

    Fifth place. I bombed them down to six silos and then attacked cities to make up the gap in casualties. Then I finished them off. EDIT: Excuse me, FIRST PLACE. Annihilating the population of the US seems to be the way to go. Only cost me 83 million Russians and change.

    I'll agree with that. Was he supposed to ask nicely?

    Essence of cRPG revisited (split from: Rosh leaving)

    You haven't played it lately. They've made it obscenely difficult, so that you have to think and plan and then click. Far too many enemies with various immunities to click mindlessly. I'm not saying that it's much better, but it certainly requires more thought than the uber buffing that...

    Zacarias Moussaoui- death or no?

    I'm fairly certain that a jury still determines guilt in those circumstances. If it's military, then a tribunal. But guilt is still determined by a group of peers.

    Is president Bush the worst US president ever?

    You mean the government employment of the New Deal somehow created private sector jobs? Please, show me how. He was also the progenitor of massive unchecked government spending. On the contrary. The Wehrmacht was already bled white by 1942, and historians widely agree that the turning point...

    Is president Bush the worst US president ever?

    FDR didn't lead the US to victory. It was basically inevitable and I've never seen in history any grand decisions that he personally made that change that fact. In fact, most of his economic decisions were absolutely deplorable. In my opinion he left this country a lot worse off after he was...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Attack me with a bat. Than attack me with a katana. Guess which one I'd be more afraid of? You can STAB with a sword, which, if you were in a tight hallway, for example, would be useful. You can only bludgeon with a bat, and people are less intimidated by it, especially if they have a knife...

    Zacarias Moussaoui- death or no?

    I think our prison system is a joke. And you know that he will certainly be watched so closely in prison that this is practically going to be a (albeit boring) vacation for him. The fact that prisoners sentenced to life receive better health care than the average law abiding American is...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Texas... What a surprise. Anyways, I don't own a gun, although I intend to get a pistol at some point. I own a battle ready katana that I am somewhat competent with (I won't pretend to be GOOD with live steel) and I keep it next to my bed. Not as good as a gun, but better than a bat for...
