    Israel

    Well we, Europe, have been providing welfare for 3,5 million Palestinians who's economy is non existent due to the Israeli crackdown so it all evens out.
  2. It's the monotone tribal armour that looks like it's got a sort of kilt/dress thing going on.
  3. If by that you mean 'it appears to look rather lame', then yes. The leather looks ok.

    As the saying goes 'we are not convinced'. She's a crazy old lady, that is all. There is no hidden truth to be unearthed here, move along.

    For some reason this made me laugh out loud. It's the founding Gand Moff of Hamas Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

    Israel

    Hamas is not the only player. PLFP, Al Aqsa brigade. Besides, it's more of a rallying call, a show of defiance if you will. It's like when Churchill called for the 'unconditional surrender' of the Third Reich while the outcome was still very much in doubt. Hyperbole is the norm in Arab politics and when the goal is a competition of who can be the most 'hardcore' in standing up to Israel, this is what you get. The call for the destruction of Israel is not an official part of the Hamas political platform. here you go, a wiki page. I direct you to the following quote : The charter's current status within Hamas is unclear. For example, Mousa Abu Marzook, the deputy of the political bureau of Hamas, in 2007 described the charter as "an essentially revolutionary document born of the intolerable conditions under occupation" in 1988. Senior British diplomat and former British ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock stated in early 2009 that the Hamas charter was "drawn up by a Hamas-linked imam some [twenty] years ago and has never been adopted since Hamas was elected as the Palestinian government in 2006". Greenstock also stated that Hamas is not intent on the destruction of Israel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas

    Israel

    That Israel v. Palestine inevitably ends up in trench warfare with nothing but regurgitation of existing prejudice is on us. We discuss things here, so learn how to do it properly. You start from the middle ground, something that everyone can agree on, and then work yourself argument by argument to your standpoint.

    I'm of the opinion that if Palestinian terrorist organizations had stopped targeting Israeli civilians 10 years ago they would have been immeasurably closer to their goal of full independence and statehood, just sayin'. They are and have been shooting themselves in the foot.
  9. :lol: :lol: Does not compute. It's hands down my favorite KOTOR game, the 'ruined' one that is.
  10. Ohh and Josh, I'm looking at you, lets not have the face-gen in a dark area at the end of a tunnel or with unnatural lighting so you can't gauge the skin tone until you press 'next' and load the game world proper, possibly having to re do everything because now you can see that your arms are brown and your face is yellow with excessive cheek rouge.
  11. If you mess around in the face gen for 40 mins you can create something superior to the NPCs and the pre-gens. I used the Hispanic or Asian female face as a base. Don't have a screenshot though. The same was true of Oblivion. The face gen is fighting you every step of the way though. I hope it will be possible to load and save face parameters and add to the presets.
  12. A fistful of dynamite is seriously awesome.
  13. It's on off. I don't know if it's a change in the new version but it's easier to get into your games offline now. It doesn't tank for 5 minutes while trying to connect on a system that doesn't have internet access anymore. That was seriously annoying.
  14. Pests, according to who ? Japanese fishermen think dolphins are pests because they eat fish. Foxes are part of the friggin' eco system, nature, the big outdoors mate.
  15. Jeff Easley, man that takes me back. I think I wanted to be him when I was 15 as well.
  16. So the people in the red smocks are just spectators on horseback, I never knew.
  17. That's an exaggeration. I think the communist party in the Ukraine is reasonably popular, there is one in Japan as well, I'm sure the list goes on. They are not traditional Communists though, they don't expect to overthrow the government and replace it with a dictatorship of the elite.
  18. You know I have noticed that I'm quick to make a save if I drop something. I'd say my DEX is at least a 15
  19. We should have given the Jews Bavaria. Would be a certain poetic justice in it, and then they wouldn't have been able to cause any ruckus in the middle east. We would all have been best of friends. Well except for the Bavarians, but I can live with that.
  20. better over the top than 'meh'. The Icarus thing seems a little too obvious for a persistent allegory, but art direction wise oddball is usually how you create something unique and captivating. Think of the steam punk theme of Thief.
  21. The Commies were there to infiltrate and agitate using cell based organization, it's not surprising that they happened to make good resistance fighters.
  22. I do remember a fox mauling a litter of cubs when I was a kid. They were in so bad shape they all had to be put down.
  23. Is this just a wild animal being wild. I dunno, seems unlikely. If it wanted food there a millions of garbage bins out there which carry much less risk. Maybe it was sick scabies or rabid.
  24. I got halflife two episode two for six euros on steam, never played it, installing now.
