mmm I do believe this last war was brought to us

And just to top it off, we have tried to stay out of wars in the past but the other countries of the world fighting for democracy n shit can't handle their own business and we have to step in...world wars ring any bells?  Anyways, this isn't the politics board, it's the P v C thread.  Elrohir looking forward to your next update

BC Cougar -  so the point is that u'r capable of doing things that would make nazi's look like children and telling anyone who has a problem with mass murder to kill themselves?

no, i understand that they can... being a former marine i also understand being in a fight for your life over bad politics.
i in no way condone what we are doing in Iraq, personally i think we should have stayed in afghanistan and finished the job.
but the fact is that we have abilities to do all of these things to protect, not agress, other people who threaten us, as well as if we decided to shut ourselves off from the rest of the world we could live  like we always have, and not miss a beat.

i hate that so many people try to make everything you say in to an argument, without thinking.
and i blame the press (media) for this... they shade your view to what ever the senior editor says, by direction of the board of directors want you to believe, at they're whim and desire.

They need the rest of the world.... If everyone turned on them they would be [gay]

Uhh that would go for any country

nope, we have everything we need here, it is the desire that everyone share what we have, that led to this, and i think that we should be isolationist for a while to prove it.

we have made deals with people that we didn't need to, to make and keep peace.
we have given truck loads of money to build they're countries after they attacked us or our friends.
we have came to the aid of any free country since our conception.
and still no one appreciates that.
and anyone that thinks i can't play the game IC hasn't faught me yet.

I like pizza

I like Starbucks.

^^ you're not the only one...

ha! i thought pvc was always politics anyway =P

you know....I'm not going to get too political and philosophical on this subject of the N word,  but I will say this.....

If any of you ever called me that word in rl and used the excuse "Oh, I call everyone that. It's not racism, it's just a synonym." Don't be offended when I kick your ass. Because it won't be a racial assault. It'll just be the way I greet my friends.

For it to be said that we should "get over it" is again, stupid. African American history is based on that word which was used as a term of self degradation, control and verbal manifestation of pure hate. Same as being called fat, nerd, ugly, stupid, a whore, etc. You can pretend that a word doesn't mean what you want it to mean but that's a fantasy world. The reality of the fact is the same whether it applies to you or not. Some have overcome such terms of slander. Some are still oppressed by it. Some accept. But still, words hurt. Period. When a word is used to describe something you can't change about yourself as a flaw for 400 years. Well....its pretty difficult to...what was that? "get over it."

Live it before you can even fathom the idea of understanding it. Moving on now.

UPDATE!

When your in a fight and you shout at the guy with the coloured skinn "f-ing [woof!]" it will have a whole different meaning then when your drinking with your friends, and your good friend with the coloured skin comes in and you say "yoooo [woof!], wazzzuuuuppp".

In the first situation, you'll probably get your butt wooped. But in the second situation there's nothing but a friendly greeting coming at you.

Its the same with all the other words Nolio just said "fat", "nerd", "ugly", "whore" whatever you say, its all about the situation you say it in,  and the way you say it. Somewhere earlier in this thread someone said that the word "gay" wasn't something offending in the Netherlands anymore. Usually it isn't, but you can get a whole lot of people very angry if you use the word in a bad way.

crazy gekko! don't you know? it's [woof!] not [woof!]! that's plain offensive!

Well, my best friend is african american, and we make joke at eachother all the time.

However I think if this discussion bothers people even the slightest bit, we should stop it right away.

ONTOPIC.

Rural periods in the ranks! The sexy 1083 is racing up the score-ranks with their big NW and planetcount you'd think a #1 in score is inevitable.
Death squad 1011 is fighting 1063, and don't let the score-rank fool you, because the NW's are almost equal and the planet count is rather close too! 
How long will #1055 keep up the race for their precious #1 score?
