Sorry friend but if your girlfriend is taking a major in islam and reads that interpretation then she needs a tutor Father Griffith: In many ways the Koran encourages dialogue with Jews and Christians — "People of the Book" as the Koran calls them some 54 times. For example, Chapter 10, Verse 94, says, "If you are in doubt about what We have sent down to you, ask those who were reading scripture before you." Chapter 29, verse 46, proclaims, "Do not dispute with the People of t

Ghost-prime I also have to add that I fully understand your horror at being at the site of the mass graves in Iraq but remember that during the time Saddam was filling those same graves he was the friend and ally of the United States . http://mondediplo.com/1998/03/04iraqkn So when you , and I quote you , " hold one of the tiny fucking little skeletons in your arms " remember the man who put that innocent there was given millions of dollars in aid and arms by your government si

[quote]I am going along with ghost-prime on this one. I haven't been to Iraq. But, when they said that they found a mass grave with nothing but 10,000 babies in it. From medical experiments. That is when I stopped careing about wms.[/quote] This was the post I questioned Ghost prime and this is the place that mentioned medical experiments it all started here . I never said there where no mass graves I said this particular instance was false and I still say it is false. <br/

Ghost prime you are asking us to believe that the United States armed forces found a mass grave with 10,000 babies in it in Iraq killed for medical experiments under the Saddam regime and have carefully kept it hidden from the world because they wanted to protect Saddam's reputaion ? ?

[quote]. Guess what the Iraqies won.[/quote] Which Iraqies the estimated 100,00 - 650,000 dead or the aprox 2 million refugees ? www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/10/11/iraq.deaths/ - 57k And as Ghostwes said there is no news story about 10,000 babies in a mass grave killed for medical experiments anywhere , show me the documentation as I have been to back up my figures.

I must add that as a Canadian I do not have any problems with the American people but I am cautious of your current administration and the direction it has taken you. Our country currently has lost almost 100 soldiers in Afganistan attempting to perform the duties we accepted to assist the US from the attack on the World Trade Center. Since that time however you have started a conflict with Iraq under false pretenses ( or at least your governtment has ) and our soldiers in Afga

Your involvment was a little more extensive sorry . http://www.iranchamber.com/history/articles/arming_iraq.php But you are correct in that you did actually end up supplying both sides with some aid at one time or another.

The justification of bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki is very long and complex and there are several good texts written covering that topic . I will take the view that it was in a different time in another era and that its almost impossible to properly put ourselves in the shoes of those that decided. Today however there are many countries with Nuclear capability and many who could develop it if they feel its the only way to keep any form of independance from foreign influnce and control.

Yes America has the dubious honor of being the only country in the world ( at this time ) to use nuclear weapons against an enemy city , my congratulations Braddock8. Please understand I ( and many others ) do not want to see another Hiroshima or Nagasaki , EVER , ANYWHERE . The only thing you accomplush by playing brinkmanship with Iran is to force them to try to get nuclear weapons because they fear the result if they do not

Your own intelligence agencies have said in their recent report that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon and stopped all development back in 2003 www.iht.com/articles/2007/12/03/america/cia.php - 66k So why all the sabre rattling? www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/20/AR2008032002284_pf.html On a side note what would happen if a foreign government on the other side of the world decided that the US should not have object X and then bombed t

There has been a lot of sabre rattling going on from the US and Israel that suggests they are gearing up to an airstrike against Iran. ( BBC NEWS ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XQan1qo8T4 Do you realize that this would make your horrible ongoing disaster in Iraq seem minor ? Do you understand the the rest of the world cannot understand how you are allowing your country go down this frightening path ?

I got a 30800 year zero score tiny suicidal with thanks to the help and advise here and from KzintiPatriarch.

I also agree the mmc is simply unbalancing. Otherwise I think I like the fact that I cannot just turn output on 100% and leave it there if you make the econ easier then why bother having the ability to adjust your spending.

actually it would only apply to the tech buildings themselves so there would only be about a dozen or so that I know of and the change would be minor simply adding a negative number to the morale column. And yes I can easily create a mod to do this I was simply wondering if it might not be something that would add to the flavor of the game without creating a great deal of difficulty for the players or the programmers.

Very true GW I did not take into account the roleplaying aspect and stand corrected about that. If possible a morale bonus for that political party as applied to tech centers would be appropriate but I am uncertain as to how difficult it would be to implemant. I tend to use historical and therefore "human" examples of social patterns and this was why I dissented from your view.

Gw Swicord I see the point you are trying to make but research affects morale because the average person does not understand or does not want to wait for the long term benifits taht come from it. So they have negative morale for the general population and do not give positive moral except for a tiny percentage of the population ( ie scientists and scholars ) . Also churches and research buildings really do not serve the same role , sorry . A closer analogy would be we

Actually people do want a cure for cancer but if you ask them for the tax increase to increase spending on research for it they complain and private industry will not do reserch unless they see the possibility of profit at the end so many forms of cancer are ignored. As to the hoard of Drengin unfortunatly history shows that there is always an enemy at the gates so to speak and if there isnt one then they create one.

I certainly appreciate the patch you guys have done a great job as always but I personally would like the option to slow down tech if possible. Either a new "epic" pacing tech speed or the possibility of adding a negative morale bonus to tech buildings to make a more balanced planet build desireable( at this moment people often put tech buildings up whenever they have spare room ) . It would have the added bonus of increasing the value of tech bonus tiles on planets.

I have mentioned before without any feedback about the simple solution of adding a negative morale bonus to each tech building. This would prevent people from making huge tech planets ( without careful management ) and moderate tech advancement with a simple change that would not require a lot of programming. It also accuratly reflects reality as the majority of people do complain when large amount of funding are put into research or science ( look at NASA ) . Just an idea am willing to

never considered the fact that some players would not have bought the upgrades appeciate the heads up , thanks
