Who cares? Calm down. I could care less if you want valid arguments from magicans.

That's bullshit that you just made up. Show me some proof that N. Korea could hit a part of China which wouldn't result in contaminating their own country.
Oh, that would be a good match up. N. Korea wouldn't do that though. They would blow up the U.S. first.
Yeah, besides the fact that any missiles N. Korea might have have barely any chance of reaching the US.
Besides that little tidbit.

However, the spaniards did indirectly kill at least 15 million people, so... yeah.
There were several large, civilizations in the Americas before the Europeans arrived, such as the Mayas and the Incas. Calling them 'tribes' would be idiotic, and - ohh - eurocentric! There have been plenty of larger civilizations in Africa also - I'm not sure where you get off calling it a continent of 'tribes'.

He's just trying to get people riled up and disagree with him.
It's a good, openended buzzword that one can use to make sure you have the mandate of the people.
After all - you don't like terrorists, do you?
Ignore the fact that we are using mercenaries from Pinochet's regime. Shh.

Like where?
It seems I haven't heard anything since they raided the masterminds' house.
What about the Israeli settlements in Palestinian land? Would you go back to the '69 borders? What about the security fence?

Generally they are let slide...
The site = like the first person said, there were a lot of unnecesary scrollbars... For instance - the horizontal bar in the menu could be removed completely. And images perhaps shrunk a bit? Meh, depends on what you're going for I supposeeeee........

Contrary to popular belief, England isn't a part of America.

That's bullshit, I want a source of that happening in the last decade.
I know that at one military base which I protested at, if you so much as step onto the base, you're fined $10k and given a 6 month sentence.

Yes, you're right, the main focus was on the totalitarianism though, not the economics
Somehow I didn't see all of the posts made in the last 15 minutes... Must of had the window open awhile =P
I 2nd the person who said the Khmer Rouge, and the Mongol-Chinese thing was interesting

What about the Spaniards when they arrived at the New World? They decimated two advanced civilizations in a matter of a generation or two.

No point. Whatever. I just saw them mentioned in (yet another) PETA thread in general. I found it odd seeing them again here. I thought they were just suppose to lock women in boxes and stuff.

Those were the days. Solved a lot of fundamentalist christian problems..
At 4/10/04 02:41 AM, Le-Reiper wrote: Your logic has a slight flaw in it. The rate or births is faster than the rate of death on the earth. Remember 2 people can live long enough to see multiple generations of children therefore they are still not depopulating by only haveing 1 kid. Now if all parents died prior to the child becoming physically mature enough to reproduce their your logic would be pretty much right on though.
If the fertility rate (which is birth rate - death rate) remained at 2.1 for several generations, the populace would remain (apr.) exactly the same - after generations with discrepancies from the 2.1 fertility rate died. This would be (slightly) influenced by increasing or decreasing life expectancy rates, of course.
If the fertility rate drops below 2.1 (without taking into consideration immigration / emmigration) you will see a decrease in population - 40-50 years in the future.
I didn't make the 2.1 replacement number number up =P
It's the closest to a stable population you're going to get...

Exactly that's why. I have no idea of your political views, and I doubt you have enough experience to run a town council, let alone a country.
But fine - what is your position on the Israel-Palestinian conflict? What would be your 'roadmap to peace'?
Well that was just an interview with "editors and reporters of The Washington Post"...

Yeah. Meh. Allthough all it said about Castro was that he was the longest-sitting dictator, and that he had jailed 75 protesters lately.
it all depends on where you want to focus and how you wish to defend it.
Exactly.

haha
there are more chinese on this planet then any other race, so therefore they will eventually run out of space in china, and have to go somewhere else, will they not?
India is expected to become the most populace country in about 20 years.
I guess you forgot that the Chinese fertility rate is currently below replacement.

Sorry, I'll try to post flashing, neon pictures when I'm being sarcastic.
Since people are asking these questions - is there anyway that the amount of xp needed to level can decrease? Because I swear that I needed something like ~400, and then I stopped depositing for acouple weeks, come back, and I needed less xp to level. Maybe I'm just delusional though.
So.. Why would you post this on NG? Is it just me, or are there 'someone I know died' topics every week? Anyone think they're a bit fishy?

They aren't in third world countries with massive upheavel, however. And as far as I know, they have to follow laws and regulations in the United States.
