    who is better at communication

    Yes - as a rule of thumb, women are more interested in communication, men are more interested in sex.

    Talabani sworn in as Iraq's new president

    Keep in mind that the Iraqis haven't much practice with the whole parliamentary democracy/representative government thing. Give them time, and eventually their decisions will be rendered in a time frame that is more friendly to the 24 hour news cycle.

    Tom DeLay - Murderer, hypocrite, or both?

    He's a republican. That alone should be sufficient to get him a lengthy term in a federal pound-me-in-the-@$$ prison.

    Soldiers' families to hold anti-war rally at Ft. Bragg

    Tell me if this sounds right, those of you who count yourselves among the anti-war/we shouldn't have gone into Iraq type crowd. I am wondering why people oppose what's happened in Iraq. Confirm or deny, either way, please. I assure you in advance that I am not constructing an array of straw...

    Would you enjoy living in apocolyptic times?

    Not really, because in Apocalyptic times (as opposed to apocalyptic times), I'd have been part of the Rapture (hopefully).

    The New Mexican Reconquista!

    Well, (puts on irredentist hat) we did used to own that part of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande. http://arms2armor.com/maps/1845tex.htm http://www.galleryoftherepublic.com/maps/map_repubtx2.htm http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~atlas/america/static/map09.html Why care about the chile? Our...

    Have you Cheated on a GF/BF/spouse?

    I had one very good chance to cheat. My girlfriend (we're no longer together) was in London while I was still in Texas, and there was a girl back at school who was (pardon the vulgarities) jumping all over my dick. I could have tagged her, but I couldn't bring myself to cheat. Unbeknownst...

    Why can't Mexico not do the same as China?

    Negative. The members of OPEC are Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

    Why can't Mexico not do the same as China?

    Chinese people sneak into the USA too. They just have to be stowaways in cargo containers. There's plenty of illegals coming in through ports.

    Why can't Mexico not do the same as China?

    There is a very large Mexican diaspora. It's called damn near every state in the Union. They may not all be wealthy, but they send assloads of money back to Mexico. And a lot of them are still royally pissed off at Whitey (the USA) for taking the American southwest from them through...

    How many languages do you know?

    mitsho It was me. Well, I should have let it be known that my experience of Europe is rather limited, consisting primarily of what I soaked up on a ten day trip to London in college (when I wasn't getting drunk or laid). I also realize that this is like someone from perhaps France or...

    How many languages do you know?

    Heh. It is a bit of a joke. I realize that the regional differences in the spoken English language don't rise to the level of regular mutual unintelligiblity. Sure does make it pretty easy figuring out where someone grew up though. And wouldn't you know it, but there's about five different...

    How many languages do you know?

    Seriously?? I had been under the impression that damn near everyone in Europe spoke at least a handful or two of languages. Am I perhaps giving credit where it isn't due?

    How many languages do you know?

    I speak three languages with complete fluency - Texan, Southern, and English (US). I can half-ass my way through Spanish. Beyond that, I'm toast. Then again, if the US was like Europe in that there was a different language for every couple of states, I'd speak ten or twenty languages...

    In Game Demographics?

    I have questions for my fellow gamers about the in game demographics. I'm pretty sure how the population and land area work - add the popuplation of each city & count each tile you own as 100 square miles. My question is this - what's the largest in game population and land area you can...
