    Welcome to the new Civ5 forum!

    Hey, nice work Thunderfall. :) I just heard the news Civ5 is coming out, and I couldn't help myself remembering this forum. Wanted to come back and say hi. With a new Civ game in production there's a chance I'll be a reoccurring visitor again. No matter how much I think I've cut the cord...

    The very first time on this site.

    My first post is perhaps in some archive somewhere. I belive I've retired like 2-3 times from this site before you people posted for the first time.

    Emissions During the Industrial Revolution

    1) "Then the group I place myself in is jus that of I myself," is not a must. It is also who you solidarize yourself with. Are you "a fellow American with all Americans"? Are you "one of the international proletariat"? 2) Anti-elitism my dear friend is not about repelling all movements of...

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    I'm just stating facts. The imperialistic wars of US has always taken place on the periphery to secure ideological victories in the enter and to secure the ideological base at home. It's a factual statement. As I have had friends who's families have been killed at the hand of American working...

    Emissions During the Industrial Revolution

    Oh, don't look down on them for they are misguided. They shall look upon me and say “can it be so? Can it be that his join date was November 25th 2000?”. And I shall say “Yes thee are correct, I wandered these forums in the beginning of this millennia.” Then there shall...

    Emissions During the Industrial Revolution

    The question is: Do we have morals and ethics that we abide to? Is there such a thing as "Natural law" (in whatever form or context it may be) and should we acknowledge it in a certain way?

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    The Empire of United States of America may be just as bad as the Japanese Emprire in some peoples view. Are we in the western wourld really ready to abide to principles that say, "if not we - then someone else". If not we trow our principles at the firestack then someone else will - and they...

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    Ah but friend you are misguided. Almost no war fougth by the United States have been un-ideological ones. The cold war was the prime example on how a ideological war is convade. The world war II wasn't first an ideological war, but became it. All war since then have been ideological ones.

    Emissions During the Industrial Revolution

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    If we can't hold to our principles in the most dire situation, do they hold and bearing? Aren’t we to judge our action by the action made in those most serious of situations? If then, then why not now? If we must draw a line in sand or in stone, then where do we hammer it in? (btw...

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    There are always troops and tanks instead of bombings. There are always the ability to take the harder route and take a city without firebombing it to oblivion.

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    Another thing to ponder is that if they are innocent. Does that mean anything specific? They are still enemy innocent-civilians. The end justifies the means? Can we kill them to get to the enemies? Was the firebombing of Tokyo justified?

    Do you believe the U.S. is fighting a war on terror?

    I think I need to set up a complex matrix of theoretical analysis. The definitons of "enemy civilians" and "innocent people" is crutial. But I would argue that enemy civilians do count as innocent people.

    The Bible, christianity, other religions, the society etc and their ideas is allways made on the basis of a context in which the male is norm.

    Is this a low number? (Immgration)

    Christianity isn't not at all better than Islam. Immigration of "skilled" people (aka brain-drain) is not at all something to prefer vs immigration of "less skilled" workers.

    The idea of rotating the holy land

    "Before 1917 some Zionist leaders took seriously proposals for Jewish homelands in places other than Palestine. Herzl's Der Judenstaat argued for a Jewish state in either Palestine, "our ever-memorable historic home", or Argentina, "one of the most fertile countries in the world". In 1903...

    Intobang Yea or nay?

    Inovative punctuation marks seems to me just to be a cheap way of replace precise vocabulary and efficient wordings as a way of communicating emotions, nuances in texts etc.
