    Question for Europeans

    The thing.. I guess that I found irritating that in responding the criticism about Gun Laws ..or the number of easy availible firearms in the US.. is that you went into a way too-long exigesis as opposed to explaining the situation ( & your views ) in a short paragraph or two. Then as part of...

    Question for Europeans

    This is supposed to be a thread in which Europeans & others can express their views & opinions about the US, yet you want to turn it into one about your pet issues. One reason why I... despite being an owner of firearms.. will never support your positions.. is the almost obessesive-compulsive...

    Lets stop dropping land mines (or any bombs at all)

    CBUs ( cluster bombs ) are the best way to kill light infantry on the ground, especially if they are massed. Since most of the Taliban & OBL forces are just that, there is no way that the Allies are going to give up this weapon, nor should they. B-52 ( B-2 ? ) strikes & nalpham are other good...

    Question for Europeans

    & with some very good discussions ( for the most part ). I am happy to be a citizen of the USA with all the rights & responsibilities that implies. We do however, owe our friends across the world a hearing & need to listen to their ideas & constructive criticisms. Dog P.S. .. I make no...

    The Vietnam War

    which happened immediately after LZ X-Ray .. which was a US victory. What happened .. was a battalion of the 7th Cavalry was hiking back from the X-Ray battlefield & had very poor security & was spread out in one long column. They ran into a NVA Regiment which was returning from beseiging a...

    For Americans: how patriotic are you?

    Voted number two... as there is no place that is ever perfect. We are one of the best though...witness all the people banging on our door & wanting to be US citizens. Dog

    Question for Europeans

    Remembering what I said about somebody reacting defensively when you talk to them...somebody go ahead & whack his ass again. Show him a little "tough love", just maybe...he will learn something from it. Obviously his caption "Arrogant American" is right on target. Dog :crazyeyes

    TOT Quests

    I have not taken the "Midgard Scenario" to completion .. it struck me as awfully hard. Some Quests are easy.. others are a bear & always the clock is ticking. I have the Prima Strategy Guide on this & if you want I can write a simple digest of the Quests here. I do enjoy the "Fantasy World "...

    Question for Europeans

    & I am paraphrasing here.."if you were to travel the world & examine all it's peoples & customs .. you would return home assured that your's was the best." I am eternally grateful & fortunate that I was born a citizen of the USA. I like many of the European Countries.. & I know a little (...

    Question for Europeans

    The title of this thread is a "Question for Europeans".. altho it could also be taken as a "Question for South Americans & East Asians " too. When Citizens of the US get on this thread & rant when they are critiqued, it only reinforces the view held by some .. that we are a bunch of arrogant...

    Upcoming Diplo Game...

    In the next couple of weeks .. we need to work out who the players ( regulars & subs ) will be.. what kind of Barb setting we want, what kind of map we want to start on ( I vote for random ) & if we want any Wonder restrictions. Dog P.S. This will be my first diplo game, so I am quite...

    Bush Orders.....

    I doubt, given the way that the CIA operates, that it means too much. If the opportunity arises, they may pay someone to take a shot at someone else. The NSA is an information collection agency.. they don't really have field operatives. This is basically more "kabucki-dancing" for the benefit...

    Libertarians?

    You nailed it right on the head Asoka ...you are a damn smart guy ! "Objectivism" is the philosophical cover for it. As such it has more rigour than what is actually practised. Ayn Rand's "novels" are amongst the worst pieces of literature that I have ever been subjected to. All the characters...

    Question for Europeans

    More like an outrageous rant ! Who is talking age, maturity & "whining" here? If you want to vent your frustrations.. find a more constructive way to do it. This thread has degenerated into the normal "SPAM" thread now.... congrats on your excellant work. Dog

    Question for Europeans

    & a failure as a moderator in this thread. It was informative & interesting until you butted in. Look at the turn it has taken now ! Just like when EON of late departed memory used to derail good discussions by calling somebody a moron. Grow up ! Would you ? Dog

    They've pushed it too far

    Ok... sorry G-Man, did not know all the facts of the matter.. however I do know that the PFLP was one of the original Middle Eastern terrorist organisations. From here .. it looks like a bunch of gangsters killing each other. I know that is unfair.. but there it is. What is really ironic...

    Question for Europeans

    Strik... you should emigrate to Isreal. I am sure that you would find a party to vote for there.. they have so many. If not you can form your own .. call it the "Me" party & vote for yourself... you might win too ! LOL . Dog P.S, I agree that we don't have enough parties here in the US...

    They've pushed it too far

    The PLFP took responsibilty. The Isrealis assassinated their top guy a while back. This looks like a tit-for-tat thing. Can't say I have much sympathy for either side on this thing. Dog
