That effectively prevents a group of people from acting as a cohesive fighting force. The army isn't a democracy, and with good reason. Again, let's deal with reality, not with some oneiric world of yours.

So, a war unauthorized by the UN is wrong, but one authorized by it is "right"? WOW, considering that the UN is nothing but a farce, a lobby for the powerful to push their agendas forward, I must say that your view on what is "right" and what is "wrong" is somewhat random, and definitely lacking the moral high ground you seem to believe you step on. Proof that the US are taking Iraq's oil? A world without violence is a utopia. Now get back to the real world, and provide real world solutions, if you can.

You might want to check your figures.

While I understand it's trendy to compare Bush to Hitler, it's neither a realistic nor a smart thing to do. And, just for the record, the German military didn't follow Hitler "blindly". There were several attempts on his life, some of them arguably orchestrated by the military. It actually saddens me to see people arguing from such ignorant stances, considering that it were those people who forged the society you live so well off today. Ah, the irony. Again, if you can come up with a better alternative to military forces that is feasible, then please, by all means, share it with the rest of the world. Edited for stuff.

Please tell me you are not providing Al-Jazeera links as actually reliable and unbiased sources? Because if you are, it would seriously undermine your already lacking credibility.

Demagogy at its finest, to be sure. Let's begin with the lesson. The military is there not just to "kill" people. It's there to deal with national emergencies, lend humanitarian aid, and a lot of other things that you conveniently choose to ignore for the sake of your little tendencious rant. For those schoolteachers, nurses and farmers to do their thing, there must be somebody that provides the basic conditions of security and stability. Guess who those people are - the soldiers! In case you have forgotten to read your history books, time has proven that nations without a military are nothing but prey to the frequent outbursts of collective violence that mankind is so prone to. So far, there isn't a reliable way to prevent these outbursts, so the military will have to do for the time being. The threat of military force is the only thing that maintains the comfortable society you live off from those who would see it burn. A society that was built, largely, by means of military force. If you'd prefer to go live in a cave, be my guest. But you won't for it's so much better to play Marx from your comfy chair in front of your computer. Last, but not least, the military are responsible for safeguarding those freedoms you price so much, that were paid for in blood. And I'm not talking about outside threats, here. Thus concludes our lesson in "World and Historical facts applied to everyday life"! See you next sunday!

Yeah, so? Do you expect life conditions to improve magically after Saddam's regime was dismantled? It's going to take a long time for their country to rebuild, but that link only proves how badly things were thanks to Saddam. Boy, what a wonderful way of destroying one's own arguments! EDIT: Heh, I misread your post. I thought you were referring to the time that data was collected, rather than the time when the sanctions had been imposed. But Flatus beat me to it.

But it doesn't make much sense to put in a movie in the patch that wasn't in the original game... does it? Well, at least we know they intented for Telos to be destroyed at some point, it would have been neat to have that option.

Well, I could write some long-winded and well-thought post about why the military is necessary and how the people that make it up are worthy of admiration, but apparently ol' Commie is already giving you hell. Only thing I'd like to add is that it's my firm belief that most of you taking shots at Hooah and the military in general wouldn't have the balls to do what he is doing.

Proof, please. That kinda proves how little you know about fascism. Please stop being so openly ignorant. Also, while it's nice and all that you are trying to disregard the obvious retrogradation of the Japanese culture (take, for instance, the role of women in their society) by attempting to make distinctions based on the political outlook of the individual Japanese, the fact that their society, their art, and their history prove what Lyric is saying remains. So, whatever.

No.

That was so cliche. If you can't come up with something witty to say, when you are so blatantly attempting to be witty, just shut up, and save yourself the embarassment. At any rate, I agree with Lyric. The whole asian culture stuff is overrated, with the possible exception of India and maybe China. 0 jap games here.

Not really. Getting flamed is just a side effect. The fact that the people getting pissed are regulars is irrelevant. The fact that some attitudes are annoying, on the other hand, is not.

Uh... other than you, who said anything about impressing the regulars?

What, is it "let's post a clich

An ounce of respect is what you have when you sign up. It's called "being afforded the benefit of doubt". You may lose it by acting stupid or being annoying; or you may earn some more respect by posting intelligently. Again, don't try to make this look like us regulars are on the prowl for some newb to sign up so we can tear him up, because that is not the case. And you know it. Also, what Darque said is exactly what I said in the other post, before it "was spammed". But hey, don't mind me...

Well, considering the video is some 12 Mb in size, I don't think I could post it. I'm not sure it would be allowed, anyway. Here's a pic, though.

I was just browsing through the videos in the K2 folder, and I came across a sequence that depicts Citadel Station being blown to pieces. It's the file called "MalMov06.bik", and it's apparently part of the Sith attack on Telos plot. I thought I had done every possible thing in this game, but perhaps I was wrong. So now, is there any way to destroy Citadel Station (or let the Sith do it), or is this video just some more cut content?

Mira was pretty Iron Maiden-ish. Unfortunately she failed to deliver.

Lucky you. Congrats pal.

We're not going to do all the work for you. Search.

No. Topics are not "gone" (as in deleted) unless they were unappropriate to begin with. The search function isn't there just for kicks, you know.

And you could read the guidelines before posting.

So what? Time has proven that the kind of posters this particular moron belongs to is unable to read, at all. Creating such a thing as a "n00b guide" would be a wasted effort. Keep shooting 'em down, and they'll either learn, or get frustrated and leave.
