Yes it is.

Whther or not Hungarian is a "race" is irrelevant. In law racism includes discrimination based on national or ethnic origin.

" the modern scientific theory of how the universe began was largely formed by the largest sect of the largest Religion in the world"

Thats just bollocks!

"there is no evidence supporting the opinion that what our senses tell us is correct, so scientific theories are just as baseless as the poop beast theory and the alien theory."

And thats just drivel, if you beleive that then there's no point arguing about anything.

The Oxford English Dictionary gives Two (main) definitions of the word "theory"

1. A hypothesis that has been confirmed or established by observation or experiment.

2. An Idea or set of ideas about something.

When scientists talk about the "theory" of evolution they are using sense 1.

Evolution is "theory" in the same way the heliocentric "theory" of the solar system is. In biological terms, Evolution is fact- we know it happens, the only theory part is the explantion of what drives it, i.e natural selection.

Evolution says nothing about the origins of life, creationists always try to muddy the waters by claiming that it does, but thats an entirely sparate subject.

They definitely needed to do something about the farming of small fams, which I think is worse now than it has ever been and just drives new players away from the game.

But I dont think this is the best solution and is far too easily abused.

A much better soultion would have been to modify morale loss to : normal morale loss X attacking fam planet count/ defending fam planet count.

This morale modification has been suggested at least 100x over the last 5 years and is a much better solution.

Justinian is 100% correct.

The Russians view this as US/Nato interfering in what russia considers to be their sphere of influence. particularly georgia & Ukraine.

This is all a load of hot air.

N korea is testing a missile.

Its firing it into the ocean, (nowhere near the US)

the direction happens to be towards hawaii

Look at a Map. It would be almost impossible for N.korea to fire a missile into the ocean thats not towards hawaii.

As much as I disagree with Justininians stance of "it has always happened & always will, we should just ignore it", he at least is honest.

Ullike yell who just sounds like the official propoganda machine.

Yell isnt anwhere near as stupid as he looks, just dishonest.

As Tavius said :

"The word "theory" used within the context of scientific discourse has a very different connotation to that used elsewhere."

Evolution is fact whether you like it or not.

Are you right wingers all morons or are you deliberately trying to deceive yikes

Even the article says "Over the course of almost 17 years on the federal bench, Sotomayor has written opinions on at least eight cases that the Supreme Court later reviewed on appeal"

Can you not see the difference between that and what flint wrote :

"Of the 8 cases she ruled on that appeared before the Supreme Court 6 overturned," etc..

Which is innacurate and totally misleading.

The only person you're fooling is yourself.

The whole world knows iraq was about oil, the US government knows it was about oil, the US establishment knows it too.

Even Alan Greenspan, ex chairman of the federal reserve has said what everyone knows.

@ EIW

I suggest you re-read.

My post was in response to Acolyte's ludicrous assertion that Fascism = Socialism.

I simply pointed out a few of the patently obvious factual differences, I wasnt actually advocating either.

Then you came along blathering at me about regulation of small busineses, which has absolutley zero relevance to my post.  fwiw i could post a thousand "real -life" examples of how lack of regulation has killed thousands. Would you be happy for Union Carbide to operate as unregulated in the USA as they did in India ? in any case thats a whole different argument to the point I was making.

Then you finish up with the absurd statement:

"It is known and intended by neo-feudalists such as yourself to hamstring the middle class"

Which is clear proof that a) It is you that is simply mouthing slogans b) you have no clue what you're talking about.

Do you even have a clue what feudalism is?

"there are only two systems of economic organization. There is public control of the means of production (socialism) and private control of the means of production (capitalism). "

This is only true if you choose to categorise in this way. If I choose to categorise all motor vehicles as either having automatic transmission or manual then there are only two types of motor vehicle.

Some vital differences between fascism and Socialism:

Fascism supports Private ownership of means of production, Socialism supports public ownership.

Big business loves fascism but hates socialism, the Italian Fascists were bankrolled by Pirelli and other industrialists, Hitler was heavily backed by thyssen/Kruups.

Socialism supports workers rights and trade unionism, Fascism crushes those rights.

The US is more than happy to do business with Fascist dictators and even helps organise coups to overthrow democratically elected governments and replace  them with their freindly fascist puppet. On the other hand the US does everything it can to destroy socialist governments.

Capitalism is a parasite on the backs of the working class, a capitalist cannot by itself generate wealth, it thrives on the blood and sweat of cheap labour.

Of course no system of government or economy lasts forever, but that applies equally to capitalism.
