Newbie questions - Civil Disorder
How does NMR differ from CD? When does CD take effect? If a player who NMR, and has a unit dislodged, is it disbanded or retreats? If it retreats, what is the rule for retreat? ie, if it has the choice for a SC or empty space, does the AI here chose the SC?

"When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either." - Trent Lott R-Miss

Conservatives of both parties voted against civil rights, Liberals of both parties voted for them.

Lee Atwater's interview detailing the Republican party's Southern Strategy:



Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites.

Nixon actively courted the racist whites from the South that were pissed about the civil rights acts and not being able to oppress their minorities willy nilly anymore. They switched to Republicans, and their remnants still are.

Sorry, Krellin. I know you're not one for actual facts, but you should try actually studying a little history.

Oh, as to your link, it amuses me that all the pictures of "firsts" are all from prior to 1964, which as we have already gone over, is a period where there were conservative and liberal wings of both Republican and Democrat parties.

I'm not even saying Democrats have always been on the right side.

But what I am saying is that liberals, progressives, however you like to call it, have been the ones pushing for civil rights. Lincoln was a liberal. Teddy Roosevelt was a liberal. Nelson Rockefeller was a liberal.

Hell, as I've said, at this point, in the modern insanity that is the Tea Party dominated Republican party, Goldwater would seem liberal. Bob Dole couldn't get elected shit anymore.

Thats what people don't seem to get. Our current President isn't even a liberal, much less a socialist. He's a centrist, and slightly center right at that (if not straight up right.. I'm sure some of our European brothers who are actual Socialists would make the assertion he's on the right wing).

Sorry, Krellin. Conservatives have stood against human progress since... well, forever. Definitely since we had a modern political system (you know, the French Revolution, when the conservatives at the time wanted those damn common people to shut up and pay the taxes for the rich aristocrats).

You're on the wrong side of history. Sorry.

Sad little Jackie - lives in denial of TRUTH and facts. Why were most of the "first" before 1964? Because when you do ALL the first - first black this, first woman that, etc before 1964, then you can't do those first anymore. And, I know your reading skills are quite dificient, but the first extend well beyond 1964 fucktard.

I note that you provide no fact, no evidence, to support your rewritten history above. It must be sad when you must hold so tightly to your fantasy view of history, even when presented with the facts.

Jack...you are truly a hateful, pathetic, racist human being.

Being conservative does not mean 'against progress' What a total misrepresentation of that word to make you seem like you are so 'elite'

I was alright with you Jack until that last part.

America sinks ever further in debt, and moral decay and you rejoice and call it 'progress'

17 Jul 13 UTC
Cachimbo -- food for thought? Certainly...I will point out to you, therefore, how many good liberals around here consistently accuse me of various and sundry thing - racism, etc - even when I make posts that make no mention of race.

So...yes...I think you may have a point. The Noble White Man often found in these forums, the Protector of Race, the Great White Equalizer who is here to solve all the woes of minorities with his White Super Powers...these good liberals that like to find racism in every nook and cranny of every discussion....yes, I think there is something to be said about these good fellows and their particular obsessions...

@stressedlies -- Being Conservative is actually *very* much for progress. The difference is a good Conservative believes that progress comes from enabling an individual to succeed ON HIS OWN - the belief that every individual has the ability within to succeed without special favors and special treatment (which treatment implies the person is incapable to succeed on the power of self). Conservatives are very much for the equal *opportunity* for each individual to excel on his own merits, and through the sweat of his own efforts...and likewise, therefore, to also prosper and keep the gains of his own efforts and sweat.

Personally I don't think this zimmerman-martin thing is just conservative vs liberal even though it gets played out that way for the most part. I'm pretty much a leftist in that I believe in single payer healthcare, some kind of housing options for homeless poor, reduced military. I believe in background checks for all gun sales (why would you unless you're a nut case or a felon). I voted for Obama twice but don't agree with everything.

But, I am sick of
- the race card (dead boy was black so his not-black shooter HAD to be racist)
- race hypocracy (why does the black community do so little to stem gun violence and murder among youth in their own communities)
- trial by media (Nancy Grace, judge, jury, and executioner)
- knee-jerk liberal celebs who want to associate themselves with the latest cause they don't know shit about
- knee-jerk conservatives who vote against their own working class interests because the republican candidate wears a cowboy hat (nothing to do with the trial, just a cheep shot).

Conservative. Adjective. "Holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in politics or religion"

Conservative, noun. "A person who is adverse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes, typically in politics"

Liberal, adjective. "Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values"

Liberal, noun. "A person of liberal views"

dirge + 3 for all of that^. dirge - 2 for voting for Obama twice. dirge + 1.

But seriously, the race issue just needs to go away. There is absolutely no evidence that suggests that Zimmerman is a racist. There is some evidence that suggests to the contrary. He shot Martin because Martin attacked him, not because Martin was black.

After listening to Trayvons parents interviewed you can now understand why he was such a violent homicidal maniac intent on unprovoked attacks on gun-wielding fat Hispanics ...... thank god that lunatic has been exterminated.
Gunfighter06 (224 D)
19 Jul 13 UTC
Yes, because Trayvon's parents are surely an unbiased source <rolls eyes>

Besides, it doesn't matter if Trayvon was a thug or the second coming of Mother Teresa. He still assaulted Zimmerman without legal justification. If someone is tailing someone else for a short distance, no sane and normal and non-violent individual would assault the person tailing them to within an inch of their life. For all Martin knew, the fact that Zimmerman was following him may have very easily been a coincidence.
