So many quotes just break the board, can't fix that. Still, on the way I type it is still easier to read then your "find what this is a reply to all by yourself in the above major quote. Note I have not even responded to all, otherwise it might even be easy to read/reply" <_< EDIT: Just noted you even replied to everything... but in a screen where you can see bold only as and such it is really nearly impossible to see where you replied on. Please number the lines next time around... EDIT: Odd, it works...

Funny how people were all the time telling that I had wicked, evil and strange ideas of world politics, and there has yet to come somebody to tell the same about ShadowPaladin. Come on, blaming Africa's poorness on themselves and try to convince me that Europe and the US did "No harm at all in Afrika and Asia" is straightjacket worthy stuff... Yeah. You know what incident. And the cops do that more often than they did before. Also, it was just based on your methafor of "copping the world", not on the real incident done in your country... Reading doesn't seem to be a strong point. And as I said it was about GUNS. Just added a guntype for some additional power to my words, which backfired since AK's was given more importance to than to the word GUNS like I thought it would. And look who were the managers. The EUROPEANS, in the beginning. Later the ones who helped the Europeans during their stay. To bring back the MS comparrisson done before; Afrika is like a new OS who was being raided by MS, all good things blatently copied and used for Windows, then dropped with a great penalty for trying to do what they tried to do... Technology. And you say that they also got it if the Europeans never came to exploit them? Also, why do they have tech like guns and not tech like farming machines then? No, but you do hold the US army dearly, and that is were I aimed at..., and their would be alot less dead people in a war when less people are involved, don't you think so? Damn well most of the world does. You just don't seem to get that hint for some reason. Mass protests and riots when Bush or another high-American come around, and negotiations if they can't get the guy arrested for War-Crimes isn't loved IMHO... Wait. This is a reply to which of my sayings exactly? Anyway, as answer to what I think you say: People loved going to Africa? Do you think there is nothing to Africa below Egypt or something? Not that many people actually go there... And they don't put investors off with their attitudes, bad infrastructure and healthcare, low to no wealth and a very dangerous situation with corrupt governments do that... And guess who left them behind like that? -10% of 10000 leaves you with more cash than -10% of 100 No, but if they really wan't to come over as liberating country, why do they invade Iraq, and not a country like that. And that it what bothers alot of people with the war in Iraq; False "good intentions"...

Yeah. But they don't shoot innocents 8 times in the head for nothing. Oops, wait, your overzaelous democratic police forces do... Funny, I see it and even bolded it... And no I didn't say in any way that European/Americans made AK's. Just needed to say a guntype and the AK is often used by the poor and the terrorists... Get yourself a freakin' grip, and stop believing that capitalistic BS. Africa is poor because we abused it, don't start all the "they caused it themselves" crap... because they never got the chance your precious economics got due to their own natural resources (being stolen by us) Yeah, they were at war. But they didn't have guns, tanks and armies to start killing each other with. Also they moved all along. Ever heard of a traveling country? The Tribe leaders had alot less people under them than leaders of the current age, and thus war led to less dead people... They could be, but as said atleast 50% of their valuable land is already used for us. Also a large part for the food. And if they really are so bad why don't your precious US-Army take them down. They cared alot about poor oppressed people, didn't they, despite the oil in a country? Well, tot the one that still likes us. Damn, own point undermind. Bet you hate that... And almost the whole world hates the US, and you still get tourists, so that other point is also invalid... Then take them off...damnit! Your president loves to do that no? And even the countries without currupt government are poor. How do you explain that if the cause of their poorness is currept politici, eh? Ehm, like said, Americ was a colony for colonisation, and not "take over and steal the resources" Wouldn't already wealthy inhabitants like the US-ones could pay that better than the invaded unwealthy ones? Doesn't change that they shouldn't be there in the first place...

Yeah, but if you have a love relation with him he re-appears on the Star Forge after defeating Malak It is fun cutting him down -
Notice the word like, second time you missed that one " Well, would the Africans of now have a change to become like Europe or the US. No, because we became the way we are due to exploiting Afrika, and because we are wealthier now, there is no way for them to exploit us to gain wealth themselves. They are effictively doomed from prosperity by European Colonisation. As said, without Europe, their would be no countries, and also no All powerfull leaders that can go on mass-homicide missions to keep their power and reletive high wealth (for Africa) They need ATLEAST 50% of their ground to make resources for the Rich Wealthy West, and also need alot to give themselves food. Since they don't have modern technologies like we have they need like 4x the terrain to produce the food we can produce... Brittain wasn't one of the largest colonists in the history. But it all depends on what country you think likes your queen. Some of the Dutch ex-colonies still love our queen, but on the other side of the world, the more exploited ex-colonies still would love to wish us dead... You stated that in capitalism we didn't get spoonfeed with resources and such. But we did get that, by the Africans and Asians. Just because it wasn't "voluntirely feeding" but "give me the freakin' food" I try avoiding the term... Ha, if America was treated like other colonies they could never even start a trade. What do you say, we colonist did trade with the inhabitants. Sure we did, but then against like 1/100 of the worth or "Forced Free". The US also didn't have, like colonies, that they needed a forced quota delivered free to the mothercolony... And why did they make peace with the English? Because the Americans WERE the English. Same nationalist, they just emigrated to the US Heavily taxed? No way. And if they were it was ALOT less severe than in "colonies" were they needed to produce it for free, or got a proposterous meager sum of cash for it...
-
And your capitalism made it any better? Except for a "better" dead due to guns like AK-47's? No, they didn't, because they only cared for natural supplies, not for the inhabitants. And the wealthy became rulers, just to cause more missery on the fellow African Any different now? Any better now? Tribe fights can hardly be as nasty as governmental Genocide... Fact is that Africans cannot find such a thing, because they lack resources (stolen by us), land (lot still needed for food, and also alot preserved for the wealthy west) or any schuling... Keep holding on to your dream that "every person gets what they deserve". The world is alot harder than that... That is because they are now completely dependant on that country, due to loans and financial difficulties. Also they are a good way to make sure you can atleast export a bit, even if it is against an awfully low cost and takes alot of the land... Indeed it isn't. But what would be worse? Being spoonfed, or kill the person who feeds you and steal all his food that he would feed to you? Fact is, that alot of Europeans emigrated to the US, bringing European Education and Wealth there where it wouldn't go to African countries. America did have resource gathering (duh, they also did that in Europe itself) but it wasn't the PRIMARY purpose of the USA..., and it wasn't like they forced the Americans to use 70% of their land to produce goods for Europe (against a Very meager price)

To add to the list: Midnight Club 2 Everybody always thinks NFS: Undergroun when thinking about illegal street racing, but Midnight Club 2 is way better..., unfortunately far less known

Did you even read my post? Note how I never said "paridise", just save and peacefull. They would have natural supplies they could use to build an existance, all their country would be their to use, and there would be no wealthy leaders that played boss over entire countries (hell, there weren't even countries then, just tribes)... Who talks about killing? I didn't atleast. There are other ways to harm people, like oppressing them with force, or taking away all their land and supplies... Oppression and exploiting of the fellow African. Ties with the Western nations..., "serving" as (operation, farming etc.)leaders when the Europeans were still in charge Plenty of African and Asian countries left the European Mothercountry as Democratic countries. They are either still dependant of that mothercountry or a dictatorship right now, though... You are actually right. We were not spoonfeed. We just grasped the spoon, and then never returned it again... All those. You mean all 3 (Cold War), or all 2 now? Well, America wasn't an "exploit all resources for our nation" colony, but a resort where alot of Europeans went to to settle. Not comparable at all...

Yes. And the +% XP boost also largens up when Kreia gains lvls (just go to the Feat Screen for the specifics)

Nope, take a look at a Morrowind for example...

Yeah, that forum at BioWare stuff really hurts OE. Even though many people might know OE/Black Isle they assume that NWN2 is a BioWare product, and well, maybe a lot of "praise" goes to the wrong people... From a discussion I had on another forum (about buginess of RPG's)

Congratiolations to the 3 selected ones. Just a question; Is it 3 from these boards, 3 from Holowan/Gizka or a combo of both (3 from all)? -

Is that the Duros that thanks the Jedi for saving him? Guess he is just there to be there. An RPG ain't an RPG if all the NPC's have a role...

BattleCookiee replied to Corn Flakes's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Shame how few people read the Trouble Shooting Guide that came with the game. This should fix your issue: -
Yes. I critize that they didn't helped when asked for, and now "help" when everybody objects. A "rescue" without support or help call sound awfully like an invasion to me... That is not what I am saying. I am saying that the REASON why the US has the current amount of power is the powerloss of Europe during WO II and the US-Economical gain during that same war... That money isn't from the governmet for the largest part. A lot of it is from citizens who wish to help. The money that is given by governments is usually only in times of emergency. So why get Saddam off when there are ALOT worse dictators all over Afrika, killing MILLIONS ON A DAY! Because they are no risk to the USA, or because there is no economical gain? Don't start telling how the USA is all "peacekeeping" the world when they don't even pick the targets where peace-keeping is really needed most... Citizens can usually do things when they do not agree. There have been several attempts on Hitler's live before the Allied came, and some of the only failed due to bad luck... Prepare flaming! When I only mentioned Iran and NK Commisar and Volourn flew all over me, and you even present a larger list! Conquering without anybody wants to get the power and get the supplies (in this case oil)... everything that defines "imparalisation" is found in the US-Actions there... No, indeed. America didn't destroy their countries. The European did. And now they cannot get back to an same level because the European already exploited most of the most valuable supplies these countries had to offer. And as said before; The US-Economy flourished because they exploited the already wealthy Europeans, giving the Europeans even less good to further give to the 3rd World Countries... And stop bringing back Iran as a great risk for them. Except for you I still never heard that Iran is threatning us... No, Critizing for not helping Explaining why the US has the power it has now. And yes, now (in Irak) they get involved without anybody asking for that help and with almost every single country in the world giving the Americans a "NO" for operation Iraqi Liberation... Sure. HOW does Iraq threatnen the US? Could they even attack the US at any way before the war. No... And then they DARE to say that you have a "right" vision on politics. OMFG Yes. We (the Europeans) did cause GREAT harm upon the countries we invaded. They cannot get to our wealth level not because they don't want to but because they were exploited many many years. Our wealth has been caused by them BEING FORCED to give us their natural supplies, for near to nothing. While we prospered greatly (due to them) they never saw their share and stayed poor, or became poorer because we started demanding more of their production to go to Europe. Sometimes they didn't even have enough land to produce Food for THEMSELVES. And now you, American, go blame their current wealth on their own actions... No wonder almost everybody in the world hates America. Spoken like a person I would really love to despise. Dare to say "that it is their own fault" Read my above statement to see why. Blaming the 3rd world countries that they didn't wan't to become wealthy for their current wealth level just goes WAY beyond that what any reasonable person would say... Paying attention. You are wealthy because you EXPLOITED other countries. Like the Europeans became wealthy because we EXPLOITED countries. And those countries are the 3rd world, who cannot exploit other countries to get their own wealth started... Capitalism favors Exploiters. They could really want to get advanched too, but they lack the cash, many natural supplies that they now ship cheaply to the Europeans to get any meager profit and generally all kind of basic things we already had 100 years ago, because we used them to get wealthy ourselves... No. The Europeans and Americans are to blame for the state in the Third World. Don't go bragging about like a real American how "Capatilism" can save them, when your capitalism is build on them delivering you the base of your existance... And the leaders of the current African countries came there after the Europeans left it and leaving it in despair after exploiting it for long enough... It would still all be save and peacefull there if we didn't came crushing in, like the US does in Iraq at the present. Like Afrika, it will leave a mess when leaving, even if you leave when everything is at its best... And capitalism is based on "being spoonfed", as we were that by the African and Asian for as long as it take for your precious capitalism to build... Currently, the US government can spy on everybody with everything. No need for them to "suspecious"... They just spy on everybody...

Yeah Anyways, we sometimes make exceptions for the really desperate cases where 1 warning also gives mod status...

Yeah, they really need peace-keeping of US-Soldiers right now in France or Germany. Or Austrialia for that matter. Big wars are there, or were there recently, no? And running businesses means you bring businessman over to the other countries, not 100's of soldiers... I don't really think these soldiers being in Germany for example help the US get financial contracts from the German companies. I am critizing that they didn't help untill Pearl Harbor because that is what happened then. Didn't have alot to do with the subject. But what did have alot to do with it is how the economical malaise that struck Europe due to WO II was one of the major reasons that the Americans have so many power. How can the government try to make a American-like society from Irak if there is needed alot of others countries hard earned cash needed for it to make such a system, and no countries that can quickly fight and provide that cashflow... And I never stated that my country would "give" stuff away. Not a single country does that. Just replying on somebody else's post... And I would doubt that a loan to the UK (Americans biggest supporter in war-situations) in 2002 (After 11 sept.) got that loan for "making the US neutral"...

You can also solve it differently and give me more power :D Not that I really think anybody really should wan't that though
