I've done this ... and it's over-rated. I'm not sure why this "hypothetical" person is so concerned about covering his ass when it comes to the hereafter. From my reading of the Christian Bible, as well dipping my toe into the Qaran occasionally and dating a Jewish chick in college...

If you don't believe in the inalienable rights of humanity as outlined in the U.S.'s Declaration of Independence or Revolutionary France's The Rights of Man, then you are in sad, sad shape and would probably be quite happy living in North Korea. What both documents mean, at their core, is not...

"Schopp" means never forgetting about Poland.

I post nowhere

Huh? Are you trying to snide, intellectual or are you deficient in some way? The fact is that a free, democratic country is COMPLICATED. There has to be a wide latitude for an even wider range of viewpoints. Thus, in the United States, there are people who hew to a strict, word-by-word...

'Nuff said

As stated earlier, the purple Civs, because they go last in the turn rotation, get a few extra goodies (i.e. techs and an extra settler). Plus, Genghiz is one of my favorite conquerors.

Actually, Nor, these good folks are right. America should have used half its arsenal of nuclear weapons on the entire region, thus ensuring no madman would dare hijack a commercial airliner and fly it into one of our buildings.... The point that a great deal of these posters are missing is...

I pop the suckers all the time, with the only proviso similar to talismanjayuk -- if it's close to a city with no or only one weak defender, I'll hold off until that city is stronger.

Simon, we already knew that about you.... I just came here looking for hints on how to play CivII, kept pushing buttons and wandered over here. Too bad I am so busy I can only rarely slip over here.

I'd fight on whichever side guaranteed me the right to run my own country, not have to listen to some king and parliment 3,000 bloody miles away whose only interest was in exploiting me. Incidentally, if British rule was so agreeable and enriching, why did India, Canada, Australia, New...

I find this rather bizarre, beginning with that idiot article. Graedius was pretty dead-on when he said Americans really don't think that much about Canada. But few people in America really think people around the world are that much different. Bad governments, bad economics, not enough...

Yes, the French system leads to inspired political leadership: a crook in office, a nation paralyzed by strikes. Good choice. I wish cgannon would answer the question. Like people in other countries, Americans are complex and complicated. I am fairly conservative when it comes to...

A great analysis piece by an organization not noted for such things. Just something to spark discussion. American empire? The debate goes on WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush wants democracy not only for Iraq but for neighboring countries as well. Mop-up operations had barely begun in Iraq...
