  1. Saddam was contained.

     

    He lacked the military strength to successfully invade any of his neighbors. tell, me Volourn, which one of his neighbors could he invade that didn't have a stronger military or allies that didn't have a stronger military than he?

     

    None come to mind.

     

    Also, Volourn, I am very much an American and I never supported the invasion of Iraq.

  2. Heaven Denies - Demons and Wizards

     

    I've stained the land

    Milleniums I've prayed

    Now I know there's no release

     

    Since paradise is lost

    I hold a crown

    I know your name

    But I am just your

    Fallen angel of doom

     

    [pre-chorus:]

    Thus heaven denies

    Refused for all times

    I am not guilty at all

     

    [chorus:]

    Deadlands, Wastelands

    Darkness will cover my mind

    And oblivion shall reign

    I made up my mind

    And oblivion shall reign through the night

    Deadlands, Wastelands

    Darkness will cover my mind

    And oblivion shall reign

     

    Still we are one, you and I

    Realize, I did what you wanted me to

     

    The lack of pure souls and the fading light

    It's me you blame

     

    First there was light

    Then came the night

    Cruel nothingness

     

    [pre-chorus]

     

    [chorus]

     

    Hope turns to despair

    There's no one in these barren lands

    The lust for light

    I'm sure that it will fade

    It will fade

    Spiritus Sanctus

    The lust for light

    I'm sure that it will fade

    Spiritus Sanctus

     

    Eternal hell

  3. "The primary reason"

     

    Key word is primary. that implies that more than one reason given for the invasion which means the whole point of the article is m isleading at best, and a flatout lie at worst. There has been no change for the jsutifctaion of the invasion as there were multiple justifications given for it.

     

    Sorry, but I don't see any justification for attacking Iraq. No WMDs. No connections to Al Qaeda. A very much contained regime. Saddam was no threat to the US or any other nation when we invaded.

  4. What is wrong with exposed jewelry? Why is that such a problem?

     

    I don't mind the same rules for everyone, as long as they aren't really discriminatory. Such as if she is the only Muslim and they made a no headgear rule how much will that really effect the other non-Muslim teaching staff?

  5. Oh yes, another religion talk from yours truly but this time I am siding with Religion. In the news recently there were a couple of stories talking about two women, one being a Christian and the other a Muslim, who both have similar problems. They fel that they are being discriminated against by their respectful employers for not letting them wear religious aspects belonging to their faith.

     

    The Christian woman is employed by British Airways nd wears a piece of jewelly, a necklace with a cross, out in the open Sounds pretty inocuous to me but the peeps of BA say it is against policy to allow jewelry be worn out in the open. Now my question is, where is the harm in it? Is she harassing other people for not being Christians? No. Is it interfering with her work? No. Is it costing the company money if she wears it out in the open? No. So where is the bloody harm?!?! Let her wear her cross necklace and not make a stink of it. Its harming no one.

     

    The same can be said about this Muslim woman who is a teacher's assistance. She wears a viel as her sect in Islam dictates but the school demands that she not wear the viel. She would comply to this if no men teachers were present in the class room, but the school didn't like that alternativ either. Personally I don't see how wearing viel would get in the way of the teaching experience for the kids. Frankly it would probably expose the kids to a more diverse culture and raise questions about the Islamic traditions and increase awarenes in diversity. I see this as a good thing.

     

    So can oen be religious in the work place and follow the tenets of their beliefs? As long as they don't harass others about their religion, create a hostile work environment on their religion, and don't cut in the profit margins I see why not. Let people follow the tenets of their religion if it causes no harm to others or the business/employment in question.

  6. I hope they fix it in a patch or an expansion.

    They could certainly hook that up in an expansion with a new story but I'm not sure how that'd work in this OC without major story surgery.

     

    J.E. said it would take about 6 to 9 months of work. The expansion could be an in game expansion wheich expands the OC to new areas, put in more material in to fill out the OC in the base game more, along with added content and beef up the druid so it can be equal to the other classes.
