  1. "Another thing I don't get is why there
  2. "The reality is: Iraqis hate US and english soldier now nearly the same as Saddams men" Proof please. I seriosuly doubt Most iraqis literlaly hate the US espicially that much. Dissapointed, angered, etc.; but hate I think not. You seem to forget the insurgency numbers ar every, very low. When Saddam was in power; it was clear the majority hated him.. even many Sunnis hated him. Iraqis seem to be unforim in wnating the US to 8do* better; but full out hate? Doubtful. "......and other nations are disliking USA and UK more and more less becouse of their actions" Other nations are irrellevant in this matter for the most part. Only Iraqis matter. In fact, the gretaer Arab world know nothing of what Iraqis want... espicially considering that most Arabs in polls seem to have far diffeirng views on what's occuring in Iraq than iraqis do. In fact, most Ammerikans polled seem to have a ore pressmesitic view of Iraq than Iraqis do...
  3. "So Saddam was doing a good job then? People were kept in line" No, he wasn't. Iraq suffered through many uprisings while under his control. He was doing sucha poor job that he needed to have a double go into public many times. His sons were shot at many timesa as well so yeah he did a piss poor job. "That can never happen now. The US has destroyed its credibility in Iraq." Don't speak for Iraqis. You use such harsh language when the facts don't support it. While many Iraqis are dissapointed how things have gone (afterall, they expect it to go perfectly) they are still, of firm believe they ar ebetter off now than before and epxect great things for the future. Their economy is as good as it has been since the early 80s (before the Iran-Iraq war), and while the constant terrorist or insurgent attacks are definitely a huge negative; the country is *slowly* making progress. The Coalition has done many things wrong; but it's also done a lot right that most Media don't report - supplying schools and hospitals, allowing people to vote, etc., etc.
  4. I have to agree with Muslims that Isrealis are the biggest bigots of them all.. Proof for all to see (scroll down a bit): http://www.boomka.org/
  5. Sin City was a good movie. Sin City 2 likely won't be as fun since some of the better actors in the first one had their characters die off. Booo! NO BRUCE WILLIS = CRAPPY MOVIE!
  6. Also very lame. I'll tell ya what. This white boy from Kanada would LOVE to chnage places with, say, Micheal Jordan. Ohhh yeahhh!!!!
  7. Superman or the REAL Batman with Micheal Keaton. The new one was good; but definitely overrated.
  8. "We"? I didn't know Canada sent soliders into Iraq." Sure we did. Some Kanadian soldiers have actually died in Iraq.

    I cna't believe Slovakia, and Finland are rated so high. That's just plain silly. As for Sweden, I forgot they have Lundqvist so I should be a little easier on them. They *actually* do have a worthwhile goaltender now to match their skaters' skill.

    NHL

    Same... Even with it sstupid shootout; it's 1 million x better than the silly 160-0, and 12-0 games we're getting now. of course, the Men's Side won't be as lopsided but we're boujnd to see some horrible, horrible games until the Final 4 (Final 6)...

    NHL

    The Czechs and the Crappy Bigoted Arrogant Kanandians are. US, and Russia with a slight chance. The Swedes simply aren't that good. if Forsberg wasn't injured (he's not a sissy; a sissy is someone who wouldn't tell him that to his fac e ie. you) than maybe I'd believe theyd have a chance as after Jagr, Forsberg would be a MVP Candidate.
  12. Eh? Best hockey in the world? That should explain all the 10+ goals vs zero we'd likely see. The Olympics ar eboring except when the 4-5 best teams play eahc other. In the NHL, even the worst teams can beat the best teams. The same cna't be said for the Olympics which has way more crappy players playing on crappy teams. Belerus anyone? LOLLERS! Olympic hockey is boring in comaprison, and is only wortwhhile to see all the bigots come out who cheer people simply b/c they're from the same country they other. That's why I normally cheer the USA; but this year it's Jagr and the Czech time!!
  13. Not really. I'm mad that they have canceled TRUE hcokey for the FAKE hockey of the Olympics. NHL > Olympics I'll probably be cheering on the best player in the world.. Jaromir Jagr.
  14. Eh. I admit sometimes I type gibberish; but that post was VERY clear. What was so confusing about it?

    "And I am glad Lundkvist is playing so well. But why does he have to be a GOD against The Leafs?! Damnit! And Jagr is killing us. Four goals so far in two games and the second game isn't even over yet!" Hey, don't play Lundqvist! He didn't play Saturday. That was Weekes. And, Friday's game was an 'off day' for Lundqvist as he barely stopped 90% of the shots he faced. :D Heh. Jagr is kewllll!!!
  16. "They are not related, they only use similar ideas." Eh? They very much are related. They may not be direct sequels; but related they are. "... And was a MMORPG." No. That's FF 12 (X2). FF X-2 is the sequel to FFX. Big difference.
  17. "DEFINITELY wouldn't trust the president." You don't like the President of Iran?
  18. "Besides, isn't both Microsoft and Bioware publicly traded companies?" BIO isn't... Or wans't. I don't know about now with the enw company they're a part of. "Also it would be their best interests to state that Jade Empire was a success just to build hype for the unannounced possible sequel, regardless if it was true or not." I try not to accuse others of lying without actual evidence that they're lying unless it's 100% obvious.
  19. Well.. I'd expect that from you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be the Hades we all love.
  20. That seems fair. I'm basically the same. I hardly ever post on the DA (and ME) forums, myself. I just skim for Gaider posts mostly.
  21. "As far as I know Bioware and Microsoft hasn't gave out any specific numbers of units sold along with the production costs of Jade Empire. Where is the link that Bioware representatives said exactly what were the production costs Volourn?" Eh? I never said they did? I ain't the one who is quoting specific numbers outside of the 500k+. All i said was BIo and MS both said the game was financially successful, and I'll take their word over random posters (this includes me!) in this thread who don't have access to the hard numbers. BIO + MS > POSTERS
  22. "Bioware likes to spout off any minor award" E3 isn't a minor even so I doubt its awards ar eminor. It's a good way to get people interested in the game.
  23. "you know Volourn, those $14 millions aren't for Bioware." True. But, BIO also isn't the onyl one spending money on the game. MS, the stores, and co are as well. Let's say, for instance, that JE cost did cost more than $14 mil. People seem to forget that the numbers provided in this thread were for Amerikan NPD alone. It didn't include the outside world numbers. So, even if the game did cost, say, $20 million, those are other sales figures to consider. Afterall, the chart provided states the game sold 300k or so in NA (or is just Amerika). The game is known to have sold 500k+ in the first 6 months of release overall. The game has made more than $14 mil. On top of this I'm inclined to beleive BIO and MS saying it's successful than us in this thread who don't have the hard numbers. I, myself, don't have the har dnumbers. Neither does anyone else here. This is why I take their word over ours.
  24. Me? Why me? Though that name sounds familiar? Is that from the mod? LOL So many names. " P.S. If I'm correct, and you cna't seem to find him (mod isn't big so it cna't be hard) it's likely he's not in that version.
  25. Best feedback ever! You just improved my mod by 10%!!! (it used be rated 25%)
