The UN hasn't said they should get out Jerusalem. The UN wants them to revert to pre-1967 borders. This was still irresponsible. The US also gives "relief" money to Palestine each year. Bush asked that they show us they are spending the money on relief and not terrorism, and the UN ripped Bush for suggesting in any way that we would stop giving relief money to Palestine, and told Palestine they didn't have to show where they were spending US dollars. This demonstrates a trend by the UN to willfully disregard where such funds go.

I *love* Tool and APC lyrics.

Source is Valve's engine. Pandemic made the Havok toolset, which adds ragdoll physics to the game. Source handles its own physics.

I keep asking what other RPG deserved to win? It wasn't a stellar year for RPGs.

And yet Arkane insists there will be skills, spells and RPG elements. We'll see.

City of Heroes, Anarchy Online and Planetside have had some success as well. They're not sword-and-sorcery at all.

Thanks for the correction!

What about Shadowrun? The term Shadowrunner is someone who runs covert ops in the future.

I haven't had time to catch up with this thread, and I just got buried in projects at work. I think I'm going to back out of this game, as it looks to be a little more intensive than the other games. When one of the other Diplomacy games end, I may GM one.

I'm all up for this schedule!

I always submit tentative orders as soon as the previous turn is resolved.

I must say that overall I am quite disappointed in a game where players never once respond to messages, and then don't turn in moves.

Jowood is going through bankruptcy it seems. I just got wind of it this morning.

Are they targeting a government or are they targetting civilians? Freedom fighters fight the government. Again, I can repeat this a few more times. Let me know when you catch on.

If Revan insists on being alone, then Revan likely won't have kids, unless Darth Plageius the Wise steps in and creates life from midichlorians.

If the leads were damaged, or if conductive material crossed leads, the GPU wouldn't work at all. I think you're in the clear.

This whole arguement is off-topic. US bashing does not justify Palestine's policy or the Gaza Strip pull-out. I have said the purpose was a demonstration of power, but we could demonstrate our power in any city. We choose cities that had lesser population, and still had military signifigance. That seperates the act from the 9/11 attack on the WTC. There was ZERO military relevance there.

Yet you say that you don't care if they use terrorism or murder as tools. You apparently find the tactic justifiable since you don't see anything wrong with murder. I linked to the Dictionary since you don't know the definition. Then I explained it three times. Terrorists hit civilians. Freedom fighters target the government. Palestinian terrorists are killing civilians. There is the difference. Let me know when you get that. I can repeat it a few more times. I created the thread and asked the initial question, and thusly I think I'm a good source on what the point of the thread was. I asked "How is this in any way cool or justifiable?" People say Israel shouldn't have the Gaza Strip because of the six-day war, in which Israel was defending themself. That's great. So Palestine should get land that never belonged to them, because we don't want Israel to have it? Never mind that Palestine didn't want it before, but now that Israel spent tons of money fixing up the area, we want it now! The reason for the pull-out is that people like Bush (of which people like Mkreku think I'm a fanboi, which I'm not) totally misunderstand the situation. People think that if we attempt to appease the Palestinians, that violence will stop. There has been violence in the area targeting Jews long before the state was created, or before Israel got the Gaza Strip. The violence isn't about the Gaza Strip. Let's say that you have a baby. It has a dirty diaper and a horrid diaper rash. It is really upset about the diaper rash, and the baby is crying. So we're going to steal formula from another baby to feed the first one, in hopes that it will stop crying. Either you stand by the decision to create the state, or you don't. Either you say Israel has a right to live there and defend their homes, or you don't. If that's the case, then the world should step in, and crack down on terrorism. We should probably create two seperate states with a nice wall between the two. But there are those who have vocally said their goal is to see all Jews dead. Removing Jews from the Gaza Strip won't combat religious fanaticism or dire hatred.

I wish you luck!

If the purpose of the bombs were to kill civilians and cause massive loss of life, then they would have been dropped on Tokyo. There were dropped on small towns that had small populations, yet held military and strategic value. Steve was the one that brought up the point, and his own source said the targets were chosen because of their military value. Dresden was another issue since Germany was already defeated. That was flat-out wrong. The bombing of Dresden didn't save any lives, or do anything other than work out frustration. I've seen both CNN and BBC broadcast plenty of anti-Israeli news. His source only told one side of the story, and there are conflicting reports. Without a reputable news agency, the facts are in doubt. And yet instead of destroying Palestine, which they could with their military might, they force their own citizens out of the Gaza Strip instead. Truly their intent is to kill any Palestinians they come across!

Let's go back to this: You say it isn't relevant, but the primary arguement in this thread is that Palestine has a right to practice terrorism because of a land grab. This destroys that arguement. I'm waiting for a new arguement and I've seen one.

I totally misread your statement. I thought it said "I am an ends-justify-the-means" type of guy.

Start with some sort of gum remover or strong cleaner. I don't think it will harm the circuitry too much. Then follow up with the isopropyl alcohol.

There is no grounds to close the thread that I know of save for someone calling me a racist. If I said "this comment comes across hypocritical" I have not attacked a person. I however have been attacked personally. Again, people fail to see distinctions when important distinctions exist.

God, you are a trip! You just feed me with ammo all day long. You said you didn't care. The fact that you didn't see murder as wrong says that you feel their methods are justified. Perhaps you should read your own posts. How do you keep contradicting yourself? You're not justifying them, but the end justifies the means and they are working? Since they worked in the end, they are justified!
