First of all you are showing yourself to be a hysterical lunatic by printing in HUGE letters, then you threaten to have me banned for not agreeing with your views. Well, I could not care less about you or your views, and screaming with large fonts isn't going to change that. I know that most...

For me, it's perfectly acceptable to have some players who are of immigrant origin. But nearly the whole team? That's just not representative of the population of France. And, by the way, I'm not picking on French blacks, because I also disapprove of a nearly all white South African rugby team...

I don't understand what this has to do with the discussion. You can find out by searching in Wikipedia. The Aryans were a race of caucasian people from what is now Russia. They invaded India many centuries ago and created an empire there.

Yes, of course I am. The word 'European' is inextricably intertwined with being white, when used in an ethnic context. Paradoxically, you can have black Europeans and white Africans, but they cannot logically be called 'native'. In the same context, white Americans obviously exist, but they are...

Yes - it's obvious that only whites can be native Frenchmen, because France is not in Africa. At least not the last time I looked on the map. This isn't a 'racist' argument, it's pure common sense. In the same way, white South Africans are no more African than Genghis Khan is Australian! You...

My point isn't about the legalese of being a 'citizen'. It's about the morality of using players who are not of native origin in order to achieve sporting success. I can accept 2-3 such players in a country like France, which has a substantial minority of non-Europeans, but to use 9 out of 11?

Don't give me this 'racist' crap. You know very well what I mean, unless you are deliberately trying to be obtuse.

The French passion for football is a relatively recent development. Before the 1980s and the great team led by Platini, football was not as popular as it is now. Football used to be a popular sport in northern France, while rugby was popular in the south. Now things have changed, but despite the...

Don't tell lies! You know very well that there are more than three black players in the French national team. See this: http://www.football.co.uk/shared/images/teams/full_squad/france_squad.jpg and this: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/sports/2006-05/24/xin_540503241339893218419.jpg I...

I am not denying that there are black Frenchmen. I am not blind! But the fact remains that the French footballing authorities are failing to field national teams that are representative of the French population as a whole, which is still 90% white. There are black footballers in the England and...

You've missed the point. The point is that there is a lack of home grown quality footballers in France, so they have to use Africans instead. It's just a way of hiding the innate weaknesses in French football.

The problem is that France uses black players to win their matches. Take the blacks out and the rest of the team is crap.

Not good news, this. Without the ability to make scenarios, a game is next to useless. I remember Civ 2 with great fondness. It was a fantastic game for making scenarios and mods; consequently some true masterpieces of creativity were devised for Civ 2, many of which will be remembered for...

No editor for Civ 4? But how come that there are some scenarios already for Civ 4, according to the Civ 4 forum? I'm confused. :confused:

Rocoteh, Do you have any plans to upgrade this scenario for Civ 4?
