Tale

In this case, sure? Why not? How many Nazi soldiers were tried for fighting on the front lines?

Read what I said. The war does not have to be legal for deployment to be legal. Now read it again. His order is deployment. What's illegal? In his mind, the war. What's legal? His order, the deployment.

That's the only way to break his chain of thought, but that's not how the law works. The war doesn't have to be legal for the deployment to be legal.

Who's saying it's not his place to determine if his orders are illegal? What's being said is it's not his place to determine if the war is illegal.

So, he is to follow his orders no matter what, no matter what those orders to be? If that is the case then why are the soldiers who were "just obeying orders" are criminally responsible for their actions at Abu Grajb? They were just following orders from a legally appointed superior. I'm not reading "no matter what" in that quote. I'm reading "the war is not illegal/it's not his place to decide if the war is illegal."

So how is it? I think I ended up spending nearly 5 hours on it between the two campaign missions and another hour on a skirmish that I just lost. I tried to take on two Cybran destroyers with just my commander. It didn't go so well. I got half way towards them before realizing that 4000 of his 10000 health was gone and that he didn't have enough to kill them. I turned him around and ran him back underneath my shield. I managed to get him back there with about 1000 health left, but then went off to play with my support commander (I can build strategic nuke silos in 20 minutes with him instead of 80 minutes like my engineers? Huzzah!) The destroyers overloaded my shield generator so it went offline temporarily and by the time I got the "Commander under attack!" message he'd died. I can't wait to see what the meltdown explosion looks like on a computer that can actually render it at more than a frame per second. The first mission of the demo campaign has me surprisingly unimpressed.

"Watada's civilian defense attorney said he would invoke the protection against double jeopardy if the government followed through with plans to retry his client." His attorney is an idiot, isn't he?

No, no, don't you see, his standards are higher! And Sand's standards are even higher than that. This guy uses HotU as a standard. Sand's more discerning.

Orbit, apparently. Y'know, when I asked that one chick why she couldn't go out with me last Saturday, I thought she was only saying that as an excuse.

Vanguard Supreme Commander Demo Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

I'm actually incredibly excited about the concept. However.... ARGHHHHHH

Yeah, but they're all Chihuahas and Dachsunds. All they need are some tall shoes.

I've made many claims to being a blind gamer. I use a braille monitor.

Commercial sucks, but GLAAD's objection sucks more. It does absolutely nothing to promote violence against homosexuals.

If Shivering Isles somehow miraculously convinces me to reinstall Oblivion, after the difficulty I had uninstalling the dang thing, then I might just have to install those mods, too.

As a former child, myself, I would think a compromise between the parents and government being the best. A village to raise a child and all that. Parents for much of the traditional caretaking. Government when parents are fecking morons.

But, what if I don't want it? My daughter won't get cancer, she doesn't have sex. 4 years later WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE HAS CANCER?!

Self-defense using a hand gun isn't firing from the hip. It's not about fast draw. You want to look down the sights while you're telling the perp to back off/not move, whatever is appropriate for the situation. There's no time you don't want to be, or at least try to be, looking down the sights. Someone breaks into your house, is "self-defense" somehow holding the gun at your hip? Guy with a knife in the alley, is that supposed to be from the hip?

I hope my computer can run the Supreme Command Demo. UPS dropped off my new card 5 minutes ago.

They're reasonable if you're using a decent economy. What I'm playing now, I can barely even afford shields! I should download and play Scorched 3D. Looks very interesting.

I was always a fan of using guided napalm. I remember the version I played a long time ago you could use it to dig through dirt in a way that breached shields. Fry those suckas in their shields!

I like him too. He was my favorite Doctor Who since Tom Baker and maybe even better!

Scorched Earth You know you like it.

Where are the women like this when I was looking? Sheesh.

If you'd ever fought a fit woman dressed like that, you'd realize the difficulty in hitting her. Probably the most correct statement ever... Well, what if she was like super fat? Die laughing or run away in horror.
