Even though it strokes my American ego, I don't know how you can say we rule the world. In what sense are you talking about? If we ruled militarily then there wouldn't be opposition of the type we encounter whenever we send troops abroad. Granted, we usually have the upper hand, but I when...

Draconis, I'm almost finished with the second part but I won't be posting it this morning. Next chance I get to work on it i'll finish it off, which should be late tonight. Patience is a virtue, you know.

Did you read the article? It might be a bit scientific and what not, but I think i've got the grasp of it. Check it out. You talk about eggs and sperm as if they have nothing to do with germs. How did they get to be eggs and sperm in the first place? Germs baby. yeah. Oh, btw. To...

In another thread in this forum, Kharn indirectly posed the following the question. What is the perfect system? Being in an abstract mood, I decided to take his question, relating to goverment, entirely out of context. How does one go about finding the answer to such a vague question...

It's good to know that the quality of my writing is entirely dependent on the context in which it is read. I think. Also, you're radioactive gnomes don't scare me. My pipboy has detailed files on them and they can be easily overcome....detailed files

Ratty, that's a good point. I can definately see how that would apply given your situation. I think the reason I feel the way I do is because I'm not against my government, so I don't feel a need to separate the government from the country. Although when you say government, I can think of a few...

edit: post deleted by myself for making myself feel like an asshole. sorry.

Here's a story for the pbp game i'm starting. It's not relevant to the storyline, just some setting. I wrote this first part tonight. I'll write the second part tomorrow. --------------------------------------------------- one more thing A young woman stood in the doorway of the...

I use Geocities for my gaming website needs. The ads aren't as bad as they used to be. You get 15 megs of space, a yahoo email account, and can upload through your web browser or FTP . If you are making a more professional website but don't want to pay for hosting or a domain name, check out...

That's a good question. Equality vs Majority. First, a quick answer to your other question. If the goverment allows gays to be legally married then they should have all the rights of heterosexual couples. I say equality is more important than majority, with some stipulations. The idea of...

That sounds like what Ozrat originally said. Read my above post for my reply to that. When you say all you owe is taxes, it feels to me like you aren't partriotic or you prefer to maintain a business-type professional relationship with your country. It just seems cold to me. Instead of the...

I agree with you that it's not a "nice" line of reasoning. It's an idea to instill fear into terrorists, not pleasant thoughts. But I wasn't arguing the morality of such thinking. Regardless of the morality of it and what light it puts the U.S. in, the logic of it makes sense. I don't think...

Rama, do you have a link for that?

I don't recall ever refuting the reasons why most people think we invaded Iraq. I think economics definately had a reason in the decision to attack. I don't think that's the only reason though. To say that the other reasons you mentioned are not valid at all as reasons is a simplistic view. It's...

Thanks Gunslinger, glad to be here. I'm just surprised that there's not more people here using the RP forum. I guess I'm used to DnD forums where everybody and their mother has their own RP thread. But i expected more out of a community based on a RPG, especially one with such an excellent...

Got one. sweetness. I don't know how you all handle character creation for the other RP threads here, but i like to have two things from my players whenever i start a game. their character sheet with the stats and whatnot, and a short bio with a general description of the character. I don't...

The problem with "axis of evil" countries having nuclear weapons is based on an imperialistic view of the U.S. I'm saying we can influence the U.N. on who should be allowed to have nuclear weapons. If we decide that they shouldn't have them because they are a danger to others and themselves...

The Death of a Slave There's an old game emerging in New Reno - bloodsport. The Slave Guild has built a gladiator arena out of an abandoned downtown warehouse and everybody wants a piece of the action. The mob families of Reno, the Mordinos, the Bishops and the Salvatores have each bought...

In anything we do there is the possibility for error, so to say that the evaluation idea isn't an viable option because they could be wrong is a cop out. As for the martyrs, that just means it would take longer to put the terrorists in their place. Besides, we all need some war to fight. I...

I'm not suggesting that the U.S. be the governing authority on who gets to have nuclear weapons. But nuclear weapons are not on the same scale as conventional weaponry. It would be a nice idea if the U.N. could regulate the proliferation of nukes, but I don't know how well they would be able to...
