    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    This is starting to get on my nerves.... I am not able to research any technologies after gunpowder/education/printing press. On the tech tree in the game, all the techs past those are in red. I checked all the settings in the game as well as the XML file for technologies and couldn't...

    What is your sexuality

    The following tidbit comes from Wiki's article on Kinsey's reports: The study also reported that 10 % of American males surveyed were mostly or completely homosexual for at least part of their adult lives (in the 5 to 6 range). from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_Reports last...

    What is your sexuality

    I've never heard of that before, where did you get that statistic from? Where is the misinterpretation? Just curious. Edit: see post 43, below.

    What is your sexuality

    Why do you want to know?:mischief: I voted 15-25%, I'm open to experimentation, I suppose. Unfortunately, in our largely black and white society, there is little room for people in the middle. (Which, really, is everyone.) Either you are "normal" or you are a pink-wearing, lisping fairy...

    Howard Deans legacy as DNC chairman...

    He's a great example. A person whose political views might make sense, but is taken seriously by absolutely noone. Why? He's a BUMBLING IDIOT!

    Worst health condition you've had

    I had a fever of 105.7 eight years ago (when I was 6) and I at one point mistook my aunt for my stepdad. (!) I was hospitalized for crippling stomach cramps 2 years ago. I used to have chronic migraines, but now I believe those were stress-related. I've never broken any bones, so I guess I'm...

    Howard Deans legacy as DNC chairman...

    The real problem here is that the Democratic Party continuously lacks leadership figures. Howard Dean is remembered by many Americans only for his supposed "outburst" in '04. John Kerry and Hillary Clinton have been inconsistent on the issues, and their pandering to the Republicans is not...

    Nineteen Eighty-Four

    There is still time for us to find the error in our ways as a government and as a people. This is why I recommend the book to so many people. You also made a good point earlier that I didn't notice until just now, about globalization. It is true that the world is getting smaller. In Orwell's...

    Nineteen Eighty-Four

    ^I don't think I or anyone else ever said that. Just that many things in the book are parallel to their counterparts in our world. The book should not be used in comparison to American or any other society as it is today. It should be thought of merely as an extension, or exaggeration.

    Nineteen Eighty-Four

    ^most people are sheep today, in America it seems that not enough people seek out information for themselves; they just let the media and their congressmen dictate what they believe. Is it like that in Bulgaria also?

    Freedom Vs Security.

    On the one hand, I agree with Narz, because freedom becomes less important and perhaps, even, less appreciable, when one lives in fear. However, I would also hate to live in a society in which I felt safe and secure in my own home but did not have personal freedoms. I voted 50-50, because I...

    How smart are YOU?

    I don't need this test to tell me I'm a genius. (Though I did get 21.) My class could get 15-20 each by themselves, 9th graders, and trust me, we're not all geniuses. Mensa tries to cover itself at the bottom of the page by saying that this type of test only measures certain types of...
