Wrath of Dagon

The Soviet Union most definitely invaded Finland after the war. The Soviets invaded in November, but war started August 30th 1939. Ignorant joke indeed. It was before SU was involved in the war, which occurred in June, 1941.

You can't win an argument when you're wrong. Go visit US and Finland, then we'll talk. Nothing lies like statistics. *sticks fingers in ears* Lalalala! Maths is a lie! America is the greatest! Everywhere else sucks and I know I'm right because I live in America, and America is the greatest unless you're a kid trying to get an education (education is for pansy socialist Europeans!) or you're a dirty homeless or you're unemployed and can't afford critical surgery (it's because you're a commie!). Our secondary education is second to none. The problem with public education in a lot of places are the teacher's unions. If you're homeless, it's normally because you're a drunk. Health care is a problem here, I don't dispute that, but again, not for most people. If you're fairly intelligent and willing to work, the opportunities are virtually limitless.

Republicans tend to run up higher deficits because they like to cut taxes and spend more on defense. Reagan had to cut taxes because the economy was in a horrible state after Carter and he needed to increase military spending to defeat the Soviet Union. Clinton was able to have a surplus because his spending was restrained by the Republican congress and there was an internet stock market bubble which increased revenues. None of this changes the fact that right now Democrates are spending like there's no tomorrow, and seriously threatening the economy.

Uh, okay. HDI 2008 is ADJUSTED to take that into consideration, genius. I was talking about Krezack's per capita GDP genius.

Yes, they did "various things", such as, nothing at all. The League of Nations (not the US) expelled the SU. And how does that compare to the economic strangulation carried out against Japan? Talk about the failure of the education system, indeed. Before the war US had nothing to do with the SU to start with, and we could hardly embargo oil since SU is swimming in it. With Japan US could severely damage Japanese military operations with the embargo. You just keep beating your ridiculous dead horse when it should be abundantly clear your argument make no sense.

I'm sure they're not doing better than US, you don't know much about US. What I meant was that they'd be part of the Soviet Union, not whether they're socialist or not. Lol, another obviously well substantiated opinion, fully supported by facts. Yes. Most certainly. Those studies and indexes are idiotic. Also any average will bring US down because of our underclass, but I wasn't talking about them. Edit: Per capita GDP is skewed because of the value of the US dollar. There's no question US has the most prosperous middle class in the world (i.e. people who aren't completely stupid and willing to work) unless compared to a small country with tons of oil.

Ah. So that was actually a move to protect the poor, poor Chinese, not motivated by concerns that Japan may encroach on their sphere of influence in the Pacific. A pity you didn't apply the same equal opportunity humanitarian protection before the war (Italian invasion of Ethiopia), during the war (Soviet annexation of the Baltic states and invasion of Finland), and after the war (massive deportations of German civilians carried out by the Soviets). And you demand that others take history lessons and substantiate their opinions? You are a joke. Soviets annexed Baltic states and invaded Finland before the war, and US did take various actions to protest those things, for example the Soviet Union was kicked out of the League of Nations, and of course there was the Cold War with the Soviets because of their post war behavior. You're the ignorant joke. Edit: fixed quotes, "before the war"

I'm sure they're not doing better than US, you don't know much about US. What I meant was that they'd be part of the Soviet Union, not whether they're socialist or not. They actually fought the Soviet Union and won. Look up Winter War From your link. They won? It's amazing how ignorant you guys are. And Finland is more prosperous than the US? No wonder people keep posting such stupid posts here, talk about the failure of the education system.

I'm sure they're not doing better than US, you don't know much about US. What I meant was that they'd be part of the Soviet Union, not whether they're socialist or not.

Really? Why? Anyway, without the US you'd be one of the Socialist Republics. Edit: Also, technically, you didn't win.

The dollar is falling because US is consuming more than it produces, and borrows from China to finance the consumption. This is only possible because the Chinese currency is tied to the dollar. As far as the deficits, they weren't that bad under Bush, mostly due to 9/11 security measures and the war and the recession it caused. In 2007 the deficit was only $160 billion. The problem now is the financial crisis and the liberals have been let off their chain, so they're spending like there's no tomorrow. http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/100xx/doc10014/...ricalTables.pdf

Wow, Krezack actually makes sense. US imposed sanctions on Japan because of their illegal and extraordinarily brutal invasion of China. There was nothing at all wrong with those sanctions. Most of you need to study up on history before you start whining about US imperialism, which by the way saved most of your dumb asses repeatedly.

There is no chance whatsoever- it's a fiction entirely within the realms of neo-con fantasy and ignorance stoking. Radical Shia and radical Sunni hate each other. Hate. Each. Other. Iran is radical Shia, Hamas and AQ radical Sunni. If you don't understand the Hamas-Hezbollah-Syria-Iran alliance, then you don't understand anything. Also Iran might hate Al-Qaida and Taliban, but they have no problems aiding them in Afghanistan and Iraq when it suits their interests.

We laugh at your puny pathetic deficit.

The card I had problems with wasn't an XFX, in case I didn't make it clear.

It's just the usual CAD featuring humor for the lowest common denominator and the occasional miscarriage. Yahtzee hated on him a while ago. Also, here's a good comparison of CAD vs PA OK, you win this one. But PA misfires quite a bit too.

Then they should do something about Iran, instead of aiding and abetting them. International diplomacy would be much easier if everyone had the game goals and outlook as the US. But they don

Then they should do something about Iran, instead of aiding and abetting them.

Mutual Assured Destruction is a very high risk way to maintain peace, it's all or nothing. Kudos for the Cuban Missile Crisis reference. Anyway, the missile defense was targeted at Iran, not Russia, though anything that pisses off Russia is a plus in my book. Giving the peace prize to Obama makes about as much sense as naming a peace prize after a war monger. They should rename it to "We hate George W Bush prize" or "The Neville Chamberlain appeasement prize".

That comic was actually funny.

Funny, I always bought Sapphire cards before, and this time I got a 4850 from another manufacturer. Had tons of problems with games crashing, Vista and disk getting corrupted, although I think Vista and disk controller had something to do with it also, but perhaps only as effect not cause. Anyway, finally replaced it with an XFX GTS250, no problems so far, although the only game I've been playing is ETW and not that much.

I wouldn't listen to everything you hear on the radio. http://www.pbs.org/battlefieldvietnam/timeline/index.html I meant combat troops. I suppose some might consider advisers and transport pilots as combat troops, but we send advisers to lots of places. The report I heard was on NPR btw.

Obama is Prince of Peace incarnate, he doesn't need to actually do anything.

Munch's Odyssey and Stranger's Wrath aren't that hard. I did have to use a guide once or twice.
