I agree. However, when you hide facts and lie about facts so that your consumer is purposely misinformed, then you do bare some of the responsibility. Agreed. I never said they didn't deserve it, but assigning punitive damages equal to fifteen year o...  [Read More]

I for one am all for personal responsibility for one's actions, but when the game purposely rigged against you them there should be repercussions. Tobacco companies lied about the health hazards of smoking by hiding research and outright lying about...  [Read More]

Hoover died in '72, long before Clinton stepped up as President, and some of the power of the FBI was cut down to size after Hoover died, so I'm not sure what the Clinton case has to do with Hoover and MLK. I am pointing out that as I said the Pres...  [Read More]

Web, I never said one voice had to be heard. Only that with everything divided between two piles of disconnected cells (The political parties are after all made up of a hundred or so special interest groups) that telling the 20 percent who are not of...  [Read More]

Care to expand on the latter statement, Mach? Not exactly a challenge per se, but I like to hear what you think on this particular subject. Are you referring to the Atlantic Charter, Lend-Lease or cutting off Japan's oil and freezing her assets in an...  [Read More]

I am one of the oldest of those who post on this forum, and I can tell you right now, it doesn't matter who wins the election, we as Americans lose. I will explain: Politics here have been canalized between Republican and Democrat since the 1930s....  [Read More]

This is a very impressive piece of work. I must say I'm impressed that an American can take a perspective from a warrior society like the Spartans, Romulans, or Mandalorians and give them a dimension that is understandable to a reader. I have had s...  [Read More]

Very nice new chapter, Mach. There were a few minor grammatical errors (I still stick to the belief that a list needs commas to separate the items), but the only spelling error that I saw was "diner" in place of "dinner." If you m...  [Read More]

Today The children were like a flood running into the house, racking their tools, then running back out to wash up. Mission looked harried, as if she had tried herding gizka. She followed more out of sense of duty than any chance she was actually in...  [Read More]

Very interesting, Mach! I caught a few small grammatical errors (I believe that you need multiple commas in a list :p), but the largest of which was placing a quotation mark after the ending 'Shoji demanded.' I'm still a bit confused on the nature o...  [Read More]

Today Mission proved proficient at more than boiling water. Merisa had her kneading ground cahval bread dough, rolling it flat, then piling it back to repeat over and over. The girl kept up a constant chatter as she did. Used to children, Merisa tun...  [Read More]

This has been really interesting conversation on history, and a good lesson for me. Thank you for your time on the history, Machievelli. *offers hand to shake* Would it be alright if I sent you a message concerning history if I have a question? A...  [Read More]

The lines of what is good and what is bad are often blurred in war{ no matter what rules are made to make war more civilized}. There are no rules in combat. I guess if you think about it, everything that were talking about here woould probably have t...  [Read More]

The Trials also showed the true Nazis, the ones that showed no remorse for actions like the Malmedy massacre or numerous executions on the Russian front. Or, in Adolf Eichmann's trial many many years later, chuckled at remembering their actions. So...  [Read More]

This is comparable to World War 2, the Third Reich. Adolf Hitler, by all means a crazy mad man, fooled the German people to believe that they were the super-human race. So, maybe much like our world's empires, the Mandalorian's rep was formed by one...  [Read More]

As a critic I've been having a problem with the center because when they dumped the outer rim into the mix I had about a hundred (My estimate) stories that should be reviewed and haven't been. So I'm taking two weeks off to go through the entire CEC...  [Read More]
