    I can't figure this one out

    A fish resource, outside all cultural boudaries, with fishing boats on it. Okay, IF there had been a city on the pig square at some time, then it's posible that the fishing boats could be there, but the graphic shows the tile being worked, hence the little boat. So how is that possible? I'd...

    Vote yes or no on the bailout

    You won't get a vote that counts, but here's a chance. Bush says taxpayers "must" support the bailout, and congress is going to pass it, so you're stuck. But here you get to vote. Should the Congress vote $700 Bn to bail out Wall Street? Keeping it simple, just yes or no.

    For any Formula 1 fans here

    As you are aware, Max Mosely has been confirmed to continue as FIA president. I spent a couple of hours last night writing emails to all the teams AND all their main sponsors, telling them that I am boycotting them and their products specifically because they are affiliated with the FIA. Let...

    Saudi potatoes or Chinese potatoes, a shopping dilemma.

    I just got back from the grocery, and was faced with a choice: Saudi potatoes or Chinese? And so I'm there in the vegetable aisle trying to decide which regime is more oppressive (as you do :D ) and wondering, as an aside, where I could usefully post this dilemma on CFC (as you do :D ) There...

    Anti-submarine warfare late game

    Hey, I tried search, and it sneered at me. So we all know stealth destroyers are broken. So I started looking around for anything that can see subs late game. According to their entries, seems like nothing can. Attack subs doesn't mention seeing subs, tho it gets +50% vs subs, so can an...

    Recycling at gunpoint

    OK, not quite, but California wants to charge shoppers 25 cents a bag to discourage use of plastic bags. http://cbs13.com/local/california.plastic.bags.2.698779.html I'll be the first to admit that this is the only thing that would make me recycle the bags and it does work. The nearest...

    Women in Iraq were better off under Saddam

    From yesterday's local paper: http://www.7days.ae/en/2008/03/25/it-was-better-under-saddam.html Just as I've said all along, the worst thing the US could do is demand "democracy" in Muslim countries. The first thing they do is enslave their women. Thank goodness I live in a dictatorship!

    My 1st dogfight, what the...?

    So I finally had a fighter dogfight, alright! Been looking forward to this! Sent my combat 4 fighter on a fighter sweep against a single combat 2 fighter flying CAP over an enemy city. My guy goes down in flames (without even a cool graphic as consolation) and not a scratch on the defender...

    Could YOU solve a quadratic equation to save your life?

    Came up on another thread: if you had to, could you solve a simple quadratic equation? I learned how 30 years ago in school, and just sat down and did one. Straight up-or-down poll, no radioactive monkeys, sorry :blush: Here's one: No need to spoil it with the answer, but discuss it...

    Calls for another boycott of Denmark grow.

    Again Muslims call for boycotts of Denmark. Danish manufacturers did not print the offending cartoons, why punish them? When Israel sanctions Palestine over terrorist acts, Muslims scream "Mass punishment! Unfair!" But now they want to punish innocent manufacturers for something they had nothing...

    Feeling the need for an "auto-pillage" button!

    So I'm feeling cultural, 50 turns from victory, and sure, I could just hit "enter" 50 times, but I built that big, shiny army and it's just going to waste! So Hannbial barges in on my meditations with some demand or other, and it may be the thinnest excuse for war since, uh, I'll leave that one...

    Historical irony at its finest!

    So the time has come to declare war on Japan. Diplomatic relations have become increasingly tense, and trade has been suspended. So the only question is, how do I go about starting the war? Oh, gosh, it just seems only appropriate that the first inkling the Japanese receive is when my...

    Selling city improvements (I tried search!)

    Is it just impossible? I'm conquering cities with coal plants and drydocks I don't want. I don't care if I get nothing for them, but is there a way to destroy a city "improvement" that I don't want? Or are they like Superfund sites and I'm doomed to the ill health effects forever? I really...
