No griff, I thought you were trying to make some grandious statement about how Vietnam was a "bad war" and the Iraqi war would be as well, without really thinking about WHY that would be true (or even what constituted a "bad" war)...  [Read More]

I disagree. the stigma mostly ( in my opinion ) comes from the fact that the invasion of Vietnam was an ilegal interference of a civil war. Before Japan attacked us, we felt that Hitler's invasions in Europe were an internal European matter. Are in...  [Read More]

A "stigma" is a negative perception attached to something, it is not necessarily a morally right or informed feeling. For example, former slaves might be stigmatized at various times in history, but that doesn't mean they deserve to be tre...  [Read More]

No need for death threats... nobody wants to die. I think some people are just trying to get a rise out of others. And this poor guy took the bait. Move along... I don't see any debate going here. Vietnam lasted over a decade and cost thousands of...  [Read More]

I always thought of "hippies" being people who bought into the whole "counter culture" of the 1960's in America (mostly west coast left-liberal stuff). It had some positives to it (like supporting civil rights or peace verses war...  [Read More]

This is how it will probably go: Reporter: Senator, we are winning the war, so what do you think? Senator: Well I always was in favor of it, of course I support it. The American people are behind the president 100% and so am I. OR Reporter: Senat...  [Read More]

Not only will the gameplay be very different (probably slower paced, which might appeal to some), but the fact is, with Galaxies you'll get: - Jedi/Sith being VERY RARE and probably not so powerful as they'd like. KOTOR will give you cool Jedi, but...  [Read More]

The game hasn't died, just some people decided to quit playing and start whining. Honest. Despite my great love for our site and forums, we represent a tiny fraction of the total JK2 community, and we should never assume that what we do is the norm....  [Read More]

Sure they did, although ancient Greece barred women and slaves from voting. However, Greece itself isn't that big. Perhaps through the use of technology (not having to physically be there to vote) it could be made easier, but the larger the pure de...  [Read More]

I think of us have invented our own definition of "theocracy." According to dictionary.com: 1. A government ruled by or subject to religious authority. 2. A state so governed. It does not say "A dictatorship where only one (fundame...  [Read More]

The goal of the aimbot is to give the person artificially accurate aim, regardless of what they're doing. The thing is that aimbots are usually easy to spot (especially with lag and other factors), and they don't work perfectly. They're a poor subst...  [Read More]
