The main idea is "This is another attempt to unify Europe that will fail". Most USA Citizens think that Europe will fail, that's ok, you are all accustomated to the 1 Country makes a SuperPower only that the next years to come will be the judge of what will happen to the EU and while history tell us something different, we can always end up wrong. -nintendo64

most of us doesn't agree with it Aileron it's because of 1991 Gulf War, but yeah i agree on both sides only has speculations as arguements, so they could be both wrong, one right and one wrong or both right, so anyway . this is something i found: http://www.krysstal.com/images/democracy_iraq1991.jpg -nintendo64

I'll just state facts: 1)In 1998, a USA think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC), wrote a letter to USA president Bill Clinton advising him to remove Saddam Husein from Iraq without mentioning moral reasons, human rights, or terrorism. The PNAC describes itself as a "non-profit educational organization dedicated to a few fundamental propositions: that American leadership is good both for America and for the world; that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle; and that too few political leaders today are making the case for global leadership." These authors became advisers to USA president George W Bush in 2000 and include Bush's current Pentagon adviser, Richard Perle; Richard Armitage, the number two at the USA State Department; John Bolton and Paula Dobriansky, under-secretaries of state; Elliott Abrams, the presidential adviser for the Middle East and a member of the USA National Security Council; and Peter W Rodman, !@#$%^&*istant secretary of defence for international security affairs, Zalmay Khalilzad, Bush's special envoy to the Iraqi opposition; ex-director James Woolsey and Robert B Zoelick, the USA trade representative. In September 2000, The PNAC published a do-*BAD WORD*-ent called Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century. It clearly reveals that the USA has been planning to take more control of the region in around the Middle East (including the Gulf) even before the attacks on the USA on 11 September 2001. 2)The USA has, by far, bombed more countries than any other nation. Sometimes the United Nations approves. If it does not, the USA will bomb anyway. Many countries are subject to unilateral economic sanctions by the USA. Cuba is a good example. The USA will not only impose sanctions but often cajoles and bullies other countries to follow it. Again, the United Nations is used if possible, and ignored if not. A lot of invaded nations to even mention. 3)Because a President is a murdere, you cannot remove him from power, because Soverignity it's a Democracy Principle and Democracies cannot VIOLATE THEM. 4) During the Desert Storm terror campaign at least 944,000 rounds of DU ammo were fired from American A-10 Warthogs all over Iraq and Kuwait. The A-10 is an aircraft built around a 30mm, 7-barrel gattling gun that can spew 3900 rounds per minute. When a depleted uranium tipped s-*BAD WORD*- strikes a tank or armored personnel carrier it ignites, penetrates the armor with ease and burns the crew alive. The impact also vaporizes the depleted uranium, creating an aerosol of radioactive heavy-metal particles which can spread as far as 190 miles on the wind. When inhaled or ingested, the depleted uranium particles cause chemical and radioactive damage to the bronchial tree, kidneys, liver and bones. Cancer often results, and the effects can even include genetic damage. The Dutch Laka Foundation estimates that the United States terror campaign left behind 300-800 tons of radioactive waste from this ammunition all over Kuwait and Iraq — poisoning the air, the land, the water and the people everywhere. Afterwards, wherever the depleted uranium firing had been concentrated, there were cancer epidemics among Iraqi civilians living nearby. In the years since then, the sanctions, polluted water and depleted uranium together have killed somewhere between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 Iraqi civilian people. At least 600,000 of the dead are children under five years-old. Cancer rates have quadrupled in areas of southern Iraq bombed by the American and British state terrorists. from 1991 to 1997 they did this. I never saw where exactly they stopped? 5) In the process, U.S. and British pilots slaughtered at least 200,000 Iraqi men, women and children. And of course all these murdered human beings were dismissed by the Pentagon as “collateral damage”. In the years since that carnage, the United Nations estimates that over one million Iraqi civilians — including 600,000 children below the age of five — have died as a result of American sanctions alone. This is a conservative estimate. 6) Some actions for Freedom by the USA. Amnesty International estimated that by 1989, Indonesian troops, with the aim of forcibly annexing East Timor, had killed 200,000 people out of a population of between 600,000 and 700,000. The United States consistently supported Indonesia’s claim to East Timor (unlike the UN and the EU), and downplayed the slaughter to a remarkable degree, at the same time supplying Indonesia with all the military hardware and training it needed to carry out the job. It was supposed to be a mission to help feed the starving masses. Before long, the U.S. was trying to rearrange the country’s political map by eliminating the dominant warlord, Mohamed Aidid, and his power base. On many occasions, beginning in June, U.S. helicopters strafed groups of Aidid’s supporters and fired missiles at them. Scores were killed. Then, in October, a daring attempt by some 120 elite American forces to kidnap two leaders of Aidid’s clan resulted in a horrendous bloody battle. The final tally was five U.S. helicopters shot down, 18 Americans dead, 73 wounded, 500 to 1000 Somalians killed, many more injured. Everyone knows of the unbelievable repression of women in Afghanistan, carried out by Islamic fundamentalists, even before the Taliban. But how many people know that during the late 1970s and most of the 1980s, Afghanistan had a government committed to bringing the incredibly backward nation into the 20th century, including giving women equal rights? What happened, however, is that the United States poured billions of dollars into waging a terrible war against this government, simply because it was supported by the Soviet Union. Prior to this, CIA operations had knowingly increased the probability of a Soviet intervention, which is what occurred. In the end, the United States won, and the women, and the rest of Afghanistan, lost. More than a million dead, three million disabled, five million refugees, in total about half the population. and many more I will not post more facts too much to mention, USA is still on their colonial ideas which are very wrongful, i am not anti-USA in fact i'd rather have the USA as a superpower than the Soviet Union, but at the moment EU looks like a more suited for the job as a SuperPower than USA, the states likes to mess to much with politics of other countries either for profit or for "good". -nintendo64

Well the USA didn't have more nukes than the USSR, the USSR had more and even more submarines. What did the USA had were more powerful weapons in their own way, althought many historians agree USSR engineered some of the best weapons in the Cold War, starting from the AK-47 to the Typhoon Class Submarines. Something worth mentioning is USA "tools" worked better than USSR ones, because they didn't just took them out from the Factory before they were completely sure they worked properly. -nintendo64

wtf, the USSR had even more nukes than the USA, they have even more nuclear submarines all around the world, are you forgetting the USSR believed on Quan!@#$%^&*y over Quality while the USA was all about Quality over Quan!@#$%^&*y. -nintendo64

Indeed, America [it's not America (More Monroe Doctrine Propaganda), it's USA] knows how to make propaganda, they try to make you forget about they didn't find WMDs, they disbeyed the UN, and never wanted to continue the Diplomacy way because the evidence they brought to the case was discarded as useless. Yet, before the war there was a considerable sentiment of not going to War in the USA, but they send the troops and started a propaganda of "What done is done Support the troops", and brainwashed most americans(USA Citizens) citizens brains. USA has been using the same tecniques the Nazis employed in their own country to gain support from their people even thought the reasons to do it were wrong. USA is using the same tecniques they learnt after the Cold War from the Soviet Union to cloud people's critical at!@#$%^&*ude, they are stopping americans (USA Citizens) to stop and analyze! the situation. What you wrote MilleniumMan is just what the propaganda sends you, and i see you bought it. USA Media is only one sided, and is in support of the USA, theye never show you the real story or you wouldn't be supporting them. I hate when Countries such as the USA create False sentiments of Patriotism in their own citizens. P.S: Using insults such as -*BAD WORD*-wit doesn't make your point get across, it just makes YOU look like an ignorant. -nintendo64

Yea sorry for not responding, college has me filled up with tons of work , just 2 weeks left 'til vacation. Well anyhow i asked for the motherboard to know if it was a Asus Motherboard because ASUS+Geforce had a problem with certain directx based games like continuum. Yes updating the drivers of the motherboard will fix the above problem, but i guess your videos drivers did that for your particular case. -nintendo64

Tell me your motherboard brand, i need it to know if it what i think it is. -nintendo64

hmmm, are you trying to make a local server? if so use localhost in IP=, i forgot the section name, if it for everyone use your external IP. Click here for your external ip -nintendo64

No, the server port must be like 1000 for example and the billing port must be like 1001, what needs to eb equal is the billing port in the server.ini and in the subbill.ini. -nintendo64

Change back the port in the directory section to 4990, and don't touch it again. Also Server port and billing port MUST be different. -nintendo64

I am an atheist, which is weird in a country where around % are christians. I used to be one by tradition, but my quest for reason put a stop to it. I still believe the Church promotes good will laws which are focused towards the commom wealth. The only problem with the church is its administration, since we all humans commit "sins" then what stops those people from acting wrongly? nothing, they are just flesh and bones like us and thirst for the same. -nintendo64

Let's put it this way, if the EU fails USA will have to deal with another Fallen Soviet Union with deficit problems, so it better work and it is working. Plus USA is a superpower and EU is becoming one, but in contrast of the Soviet Union, this one is friendly to USA (at least for the most part). -nintendo64

There is no doubt that JFK was the most "benevolent" (less hostile) USA President towards the Caribbean and Latin America. He even used a Dominican chair that was custom made because of his back problem, so i guess we dominicans helped shape USA in a "furniture for presidents" kind of way j/k. -nintendo64

Let's Avoid the flaming, and try to keep the insults out of the discussion. -nintendo64

Fluffy show me a directX game equivalent or superior to SubSpace in Graphics in Java, also there are many java decompilers, java is easier to crack than c/c++. P.S>Akai where do i put my avatar with a good size. -nintendo64

Heh, plus a movie it's at least 1 hour and something, while answering to the forums it's just a few minutes. -nintendo64

Also, The server sends a seed to the client from time to time to organize the greens in the screen so all clients are sync'd, but this isn't accurate. -ninendo64

Go back to school, enough said. -nintendo64

In Anarchy everyone is their own goverment, you rule yourself, you make your own laws. -nintendo64

Silk, explain why not. -nintendo64

Meh, he won't reply (or maybe yes ), but let's restate the facts, Ekted only did the frontent of continuum meaning everything you see before you push play it's his work and including the Chat Window while you're playing. Ekted's Chat Window shares only a segment of memory with continuum, the incoming messages and types, amount of players (Not realiable), playernames. I doubt he gets any more info except for which players are in spectator state. Ekted should make ?arena work throught the Chat window and it's doable, PriitK only has to share more segments of memory or if he too paranoid already? -nintendo64

Democracy in its purest form becomes anarchy and Democracy in it's impurest form becomes Dictatorship, we can't have total democracy or lack of it, but moderate enough so that the citizens can say what they think and want, and have a vote so at least most of the citizens will be satisfied. I believe representative democracy it's the best, but i've heard Australia has the best use of democracy, maybe monte wants to explain how the goverment in his country deals with democracy. -nintendo64

hahahha the Dictatorship ones reminds me of all the books i've read about an important dictator in my country, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, he was more than exactly that cow politics -nintendo64

You're right monte, i merely focused on my place in a third world society, which is very much alike a western one. Yes you might be right about sweatshop workers, but the problem is they don't seem to complain, maybe it's because i am still a University student and i haven;t been a lot in contact with them, but from what i've observed they don't seem to care, but they dislike being productive, they work like 6 hours and then start doing nothing only talking, in most jobs they don't get told to do otherwise because their supervisors are also like sweatshop workers working 14 hours a day. -nintendo64
