You're probably right. France was at war with just about everyone at that time. Taking another spin on things, the enemy of my enemy is my friend also applies to the US in WWII. All of France was occupied for over a year before the US even declared war on Japan. Also, I believe, it was the...

The red pill, or the blue pill?

Considering there's six billion people, I see it as my right, NO, my DUTY, to kill you. Then again, you might kill me with your poor punctuation. What a strain on the eyes! :rolleyes: However, I digress.... [EDIT] Also on further reading, talking about brainwashing and Captain Planet, I...

Just going back on the Palestinian question, the real worry I have, is that there are a lot who want to fight and die. For example, I had a discussion with a "Palestinian" girl midway through 2001. I was taking a moderate pro-West stance in my discussion and her, and her left wing friends all...

Junior I agree. China is the one who always rattles the sabre, especially over Taiwan; whinge, moan and complain that they should be given more recognition on the world stage, yet we haven't heard a peep out of them. If they honestly want to be a superpower, they should be seen to be...

Right on steampunk! 20% less oxygen may just spell doom for life as we know it. Actually no, lets get rid of the rainforest, and watch people like Loaf, tcg and delance try to breathe. The only shame would be that it would have to go that far for them to see the folly in our ways. And by the...

Colin Jr....I am your fa-ther... If only Hydrogen Cell cars came out sooner! It's those evil oil companies holding it back :)

Think about the environmental destruction we cause. Is this truly what civilised, rational beings do? Destroy the very items we need to survive? That's what a virus does my friend. We may be intelligent, but we're killing our species' survival through our actions (plus all the other species)...

Al Gore would have been more likely to deal with the underlying problems of terrorism, that being the poverty of third world nations, rather than trying to bomb them back to the stone age. I agree, most third world problems are their own doing, but when the US backs undemocractic governments (a...

What you fail to realise Loaf, is that America is buying its oil from a cartel, OPEC, which most oil producing Middle East countries form part. The reason to spend all that money on war with Iraq (US$150 billion) is to use a free flow of Iraqi oil to break the cartel. Iraq has a great enough...

Actually the US owed its existance to France. During the War of 1812 with Britain, the only ally the US had was France. France supplied the US with many materials during the years after the American Revolution. Therefore, the favour was returned, and now France owes the US nothing. Learn some...

Yes, for the sake of the world and for the sake of the American people, Al Gore should have been in office. Democrats should always be preferred in government in America. Republicans appear to me to be too right winged and dare I say it, fundamental. Really, is there any difference between...

Well I think I am just going to have to wade into the debate... Communism in theory is not a bad idea at all. Think about it. Everyone shares in the resources. In theory no one goes hungry nor wants for anything. Obviously we cannot provide that yet because human greed gets in the way and...

Remember, civilisation is only a thin veneer. Scratch away at the surface and we are nothing but animals (my apologies to animals, humans truly are the scum of the Earth and animals much higher than us, the way we are going). What separates us from animals is our ability to be merciful. Yes...

Quarto...you do such justice with that comment! I would love to see Aries' face after reading that :D By the way Aries, Afghanistan hasn't been fixed, in fact its no where near fixed. Kabul is the only place under government control there, with the warlords still at large. Even government...

Yes I would probably be scared too, but at least I don't say what I am going to do to people when I capture them. I just don't talk about it full stop. Therefore the tag hypocrite cannot be attached to me. However for someone who doesn't support torture Phillip, you sure do talk in vivid...

Phillip, I would really like to see you in war mate. You seem to be all guts and glory when the terrorist is all chained up and cannot hurt you. Lets see if that changes out in the field. You'd probably lose bowel control and cower behind some shelter. So much for ranting and raving about...

To war, or not to war? *** To those who are pro-war and easily offended, I apologise, but please consider my words, I do not seek to change your minds yet I wish to give an explanation as to why I have changed my opinion *** As the subject suggests, I have changed from a pro-war stance to an...

I haven't gone to see it because it hasn't been released in Australia yet :) However, Enterprise should have come out in five or ten years time. There needed to be a break because we have been saturated with Star Trek. I love it to death too, but you can't inject 'fresh blood' to save the...

Well although I liked the movie, my girlfriend fell asleep half way through. I guess it was not exciting or interesting enough to keep a non fan's attention. I must admit even I thought it was quite slow. In response to the criticism about the Kilrathi, I thought they were good. WCIII were...
