iScode, we have threads in our forum about your "retal policy" since you posted it. We knew that there would be issues between ICN and SOF as soon as we read it.

I mean, the last time a clan tried to police the server back in 2004, ICN stood up against it set after set after set... as a result ICN was decimated to a 30 member tag (now we're 13). I guess when a clan decides they will make up their retal rules on their own whims or decides to police the server, ICN still takes exception to those shenanigans.

SOF is the new RD (no offence to the current RD).

This is a terrible idea, and I'll tell you why.

Currently there are 580~ active countries that play at least 100 turns in a set. For argument sake, let's say that half play in each side... so 260 per server.

260 per server???? Sov, get your head out of a hole if you think any game developer would create something new for this pathetic turn out. All of your condescension aside, it's all a nice idea if we are talking about 5000+ players... But we're not. So, maybe you should spend more time thinking about ways of getting people to play this game instead.

LOL. you're hilarious ford. SOF are bullies posing as police. Just because you chose to indulge a troll and make 12 other people pay for his words. Sov, you need thicker skin dude.

But whatever, have fun in your make believe text based dead game where you feel http://www.realultimatepower.net/

I just want to point out that the Death Star debacle was an inside job... clearly. How could an untrained pilot make an accurate shot like that? He had help from the inside.

but... Star Trek would win if it went to a fight with Star Wars based solely on their advanced tech.

Actually, people will resist your opinions on the basis of your attitude. If you can attempt to be civil without the use of ad hominem attacks, you'd be more successful in convincing people. Calling people stupid doesn't work. In fact, it makes you seem like a crackpot.

All you need to do is look up the debate etiquette to see that you've broken that rule.

It's like this. I argue with my brother all the time. I make a point, he gets mad and tries to make a point against me. I make another point refuting his point, he calls me a mother fluffer. Who won?

If I didn't win... he at least lost.

well, one argument that the government COULD have (but simply have not used) is that married people (in general) pay less in taxes. If all gays and lesbians were allowed to marry their partners, unless they are really poor, they would pay less in taxes than if they were two single people.

SO, by keeping gay marriage illegit, they get more revenue from TEH GEHYS!

I can't decide whether or not to take Elihaar seriously. Are you equating a gay person to a corpse, excrement, pedophile, necrophile, or coprophile? If so, you should give your head a shake.

I guess we will just have to bump this up one more time because Sof keeps trying to mess with ICN land and keeps getting retalled.

Now I guess an FA is required yet again.

Klown. Your taxes won't go up unless you make $250k+. If you are making $250k+ why are you living in a deeply impoverished neighbourhood?

Reversal- you live in a deeply impoverished neighbourhood, therefore you don't make $250k+, therefore you won't get taxed an additional 15%.

Don't lie please.

The government exists to run a country and to protect what they believe are the best interests of the people living in it.

Those social programs that the government has created or instituted or funded have helped a lot of people to get out of poverty... but they have not kept people from getting into poverty.

To say (sorry to disagree ST) that the "poverty rate now is the same as it was then" implies (unintentionally) that the same people who were in poverty 10 years ago are still in poverty. This isn't true. More than half of ALL American's have been in poverty by the time they were 65. The chance of becoming poor each year is about 4%. 50% of all people who are in poverty escape poverty within a year... 75% within 4 years.

http://www.urban.org/..._transitioningpoverty.pdf

Lastly, to say that the poverty rate hasn't gotten better since the 60's isn't actual evidence that govt programs don't work. If one were to hypothesize, if the government did absolutely nothing, would the poverty rate get worse? I'd bet my next 24 pay checks that it would be worse.... hard to disagree with.

There's no denying that for personal transportation (the bulk of fuel consumption), a new energy source needs to be established to replace gasoline and diesel on the roads. For trains, farm equipment, semis, all heavy duty construction equipment, and probably even 1 ton pickup trucks... they will likely always need diesel. Anything with a gasoline engine, on the other hand, can probably be replaced (in a general sense).

As for using horses to dig trenches 20 metres deep... good luck with that.

I'm not so much thinking of the presidential elections per se, but if let's say in the house of representatives neither the democrats nor the republicans have a majority and have to work with a third party things could get interesting.

We have this in Canada. Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Bloc Quebecois. It gets interesting at times especially when there is a minority government. Then they MUST work together with a different party to get things done. When Conservatives have a majority, on the other hand, the other parties need to do what they can so they can get elected again the next time.

I think the two party system is broken too... but I don't think the two parties are in "cahoots". It's a ridiculous idea.

I gotta disagree (which obviously doesn't mean much for you, Klownbaby). The 47% video SHOULD be a deal breaker for middle/low income earners in America... but it doesn't seem to be that big a problem. It just goes to show you that people will always vote against their own interests.

Rick is now badass. The guy who ran off did so as an act of defiance. Rick rules the group with an iron fist now... if you want to run away, you're on your own and a danger to the group. I totally understand the logic... but I didn't know he had it in him til now.

no, you see... you can't say that he implemented Obamacare either. He just made the policies but didn't do the actual work. He didn't set up the budgets personally or implement the policies... he is as responsible for Obamacare as he is for the execution of Osama Bin Laden.

I just want to make it clear that I have never intended to undermine the importance of Ontario to this country. Without Ontario, this country would not be as successful as it is now. I just hope that Ontario can become a "have" province under a new leader.

Certainly my plea is not contemptible.
