true or false: "your kid is yours, and totally your responsibility."
isnt it time we move forward and stop claiming that we have the right to decide whats best for our kids? or even saying "our" kids. as if parents own them. newsflash - those kids arent yours.

North Carolina Exempts Itself From Constitution
http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2013/Bills/House/HTML/H494v1.html

In short: "North Carolina is exempt from the Establishment Clause, and thus can declare a state-endorsed religion if desired." Thoughts?

Survey as to whether Agent K should be allowed to come back
I figure that this would be the most efficient way to collect the data.

Ahhhhh yes....that is because of the USTTC -- the United State Time Traveling Corp...Because, by *my* understanding, humanity has pretty much warred *non stop* since civilization existed...

Since the US has only been around since 1776, I'd say a big old high five is deserved by our Time Travel Corp, as they have done a damned fine job of spreading mayhem throughout human history, have they not?

So how is happy land? Do they have any unicorns for sale if I would like to buy one?

Once again, the claim that America is somehow responsible for Kim-Jong Un's shenanigans is a ridiculous assertion. We've only caused a couple of unnecessary wars in our history.

Furthermore, you have to admit that those nork assholes are asking for it after a certain point.

Anyone watch Robert McNamara's documentary when he was Defence Secretary during WW2?

the statistics he talks about when bombing Japan comes up, is unbelievable. I mean imagine cities like new york, los angeles, chicago. Just LEVELED. 80% gone. 70% gone. 60% gone. i mean hell all that was BEFORE they dropped the A-bomb. Can you imagine the innocent lives lost? unbelievable.

This is either the sickest troll ever or you need to be put out of harms way, somewhere like Texas where the fascists seem to be having a resurgence, I'm sure you'd feel right at home.

@ rollerfiend

Robert McNamara was not the Defense Secretary during WWII. Furthermore, the Defense Department did not exist during WWII. It was still called the War Department back then.

Furthermore, if this was 1944 and you were commanding American forces in the Pacific, how would you go about forcing a Japanese surrender?

@ NigeeBaby

"you need to be put out of harms way, somewhere like Texas where the fascists seem to be having a resurgence, I'm sure you'd feel right at home."

"I think they've found GunFighter in Colorado"

Yes, because with my clearly evident libertarian sympathies and extreme opposition to a police state obviously proves that I am a fascist. Also, I am neither in police custody nor in Colorado.

"This is either the sickest troll ever"

Vietnam and Iraq, the two unnessecary wars that I was thinking of, were marginally unjustified and more of a result of corruption (combined with, in the case of Vietnam, anti-communist zeal) than any true imperialism.

There is a point where the North Korean military (independent from its leadership) and to a lesser extent the oppressed people of North Korea are complicit in their leader's suicidal insanity. Seriously, overthrow the asshole. The Egyptians and the Libyans pulled it off. They have had long enough to overthrow him. You have to admit that Kim-Jong Un is a credible threat to the rest of the world. I'm not advocating a first strike, I'm just saying that if he hits anyone the free world should hit back swiftly and decisively.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

disagree with Jetsfan's quote and gunfighter.

Firstly does sitting thousands of feet in the air and destroying mostly innocent life with massive effect, does that REALLY give you a moral and patriotic feeling? Even bravery would you say? REALLY. Lets the rest the of us be thankful you are not in public office, for any country.

Robert Mcnamara. was the secretary of defence. or defence secretary. or what the hell ever you want to call it.

Watch his documentary The fog of War. watch him break down into tears describing the obliteration of japanese (civilian!!) lives

@ rollerfiend

Yes, he *was* the Secretary of Defense (note the American spelling) during the first part of the Vietnam War and was an overall douchebag for a variety of reasons, but that's beside the point.

My challenge to you is what you would have done differently if you were in command of all Allied forces in the Pacific immediately following the capture of Guam/Saipan/Tinian (and with their capture, the ability of America to strike the Japanese homeland with long-range strategic bombers)

It is easy to criticize the actions of others when you are separated by the impenetrable barriers of time and space. You should not make such criticisms if you do not have your own solution. Tell me, what would you have done differently if you had been in the right place and the right time to do so?

Substitute player?
I was wondering, is it possible to substitute a player into a game without needing to miss two phases to get a CD, but that's a long time in which the players entire game plan could get crushed as the players around him would take advantage. I know it isn't possible now, but would a mod be able to do it if needed? E.G. if a player leaves but doesn't want to ruin the game.
