    USA Politics Thread - *No gun debate*

    I'm not egging you on. I am 100% serious. I think you are reading too much into it. It seemed like a genuine question to me (pro's and con's of forums). It wouldn't hurt to answer it anyway. It was a question. No opinions or judgement. ch_123 comes from the ROI not NI. If you don't want to answer it then fair do's.

    USA Politics Thread - *No gun debate*

    What were these accomplishments? If you really want to know, search. Otherwise, don't waste my time asking questions like this, as if you are going to stump me. Poor attitude there Scubaman3D. "She has lots of accomplishments but I am not going to tell you." (Paraphrased) I mean, WTF? We don't live in the US (ch_123's Irish I believe) so don't really get all the details and the US media is pretty sensationalist. So it would be nice to get some straight answers from our American friends.

    RUSSIAN Armor pack 5.0

    @ Marijus Nice addon but change the size of the screenshot in the 1st post to be under 100kb as it's way over the limit.

    Next Gen Stealth Bombers

    The other one as you stated made it back to base. Which implies that it was never forced down and that is usually associated with being shot down. No, stealth technology has not had its day. RockofSL has quite a bit of experience in working with military aircraft. Above he stated that what you said isn't true. I appreciate his input on this because of his experience. I learn from it. I know little about this stuff. You don't seem to be an expert on the stuff either. You don't want to learn. You just want to argue. Familiar words, Baff1?

    Next Gen Stealth Bombers

    Since when does that constitute being shot down? Regardless, stealth tech. clearly has a future.

    Next Gen Stealth Bombers

    Stealth technology isn't 100% full proof you know. It is constantly being improved upon as with most other things. With continuing investment in F-22's and F-35's stealth quite obviously has a future. Your statement 'stealth has had its day' has no solid basis at all. Just a weak one which has been refuted by Plaintiff1 and DM.

    Next Gen Stealth Bombers

    "Stealth has had its day" is nothing more than an assumption. Unless, of course, you have access to top secret government files on the future of stealth. I am pretty sure the US have some aircraft that you don't know about. The Nighthawk was kept a secret for a while IIRC. So you can't say 'stealth has had its day' for sure. Some people thought the tanks day was over with ATGM's but it's still here. Linky please. I assume your talking about the F22? It is for actual use you know. It is an air superiority fighter and has now entered service with the USAF. It isn't a Doulton. There's also this thing being built: F35 I am no expert on defence matters but you must see something wrong with your statement. It's a little early to say something like that, no?

    Symphony Of War

    @Plaintiff1 Perhaps it would have been a better idea to raise this issue with a mod so they could handle it rather than yourself?

    Project RACS

    Well the only reason I have started building missions as the RACS are the release of your addons. Finally they have their own jets for air support. I made up a quick mission where the RACS assault Cayo with 3 squads and a Platoon of M60 tanks against a SLA force of 3 T72's and 5 squads of infantry. Later on a platoon of T72's come to reinforce Cayo and that's when you call in the RACS air force to obliterate those tanks. Very fun, especially with FFN when you give the RACS mortars. I also made a mission you are a F16 Tank Buster pilot and have to scramble up into the air to pick off SLA tanks that have crossed the border. Thanks for the addons lads.

    FFN MOD

    The AI changes in this mod are incredibly impressive. AI taking cover behind rocks, calling artillery, throwing smoke etc. I also witnessed one of my AI guys climbing on a rock and firing from it! Although I don't think this was intentional it was cool nonetheless. @william1 When I used your xeh compatible replacement it caused periodic lag in my mission. My computer wasn't under stress either.

    USA Politics Thread - *No gun debate*

    I just came back from Boston a few days ago, did all the tourist things, mostly friendly people (except one tour operator who had a chip on his shoulder with the Brits and the Revolution, his knowledge was a total shambles, the twat) I loved Boston and all the other places in the US I have been. Anyhoo I saw a bit of TV while I was there and the political ads and some "news reporters" were funny to watch. Here are some interesting ones: Political Ads; "Obama and his Liberal allies want to destroy your way of life" "McCain doesn't know how to use a computer and can't send an e-mail." LMFAO The only thing those ads are good for is so the Candidates can slag each other off. It's ridiculous. I also saw Michael Moore being interviewed at a "Bowlers for Obama" event. While I find him incredibly irritating like piles he has a few good points. However he falls flat on his face when he doesn't realise the Democrats and Republicans are not that different from each other. Blackwater may have risen during the Bush years but it was the Democrats that passed legislation allowing such PMC's to be formed. Glenn Beck. Who gave that cunt a job? Making up crap on his show about "the brave few" Conservative Hollywood actors. WTF? Then the blatant lies espoused by him on GTAIV and how the "American way of life is under threat" by video games, music and film and another load of utter tosh like that.

    International Politics Thread

    The weak nations are weak just because they are exploited. Tad simplistic explanation no? More like smaller and/or weaker nations do not have the capacity to stand up to more powerful ones etc. I never said it was a science. That would be like saying Marxism is a science! As said before science is the study of the natural, physical world. Thus Marxism is not a science. You are the only one to argue that it is. Changing the subject. Classic Spokesperson. Social sciences are whole thing on their own. The study of society and people in society whereas Science is the study of the natural world. Marxism would fall under the umbrella of the social sciences. I stated this a number of times but you ignored and continued to call Marxism a science. Last time I checked it isn't the study of the natural world. Art is probably out of place in the social sciences. However as the above were never part of the debate they are irrelevant. If you are wrong state that you are or ignore that specific issue instead of bringing up new arguments. Gotta go. Won't be here for the next week or so!

    OFP Vista help

    I had this problem with a grand strategy game that has a scenario editor. I saved the scenario but could never find it where it was supposed to be saved. Turns out Vista saves it in an out of the way place for some strange reason. Try and find it here: Another OFP folder should be there.

    International Politics Thread

    Of course. They were the backyards of western society. Exploited for hundreds of years by the west, now that time is up. No more slavery and oppression that made westerners able to buy products at dirt prices. Capitalism breaks at its weakest link. Weaker nations have always been exploited by the dominant nations. I don't see it changing any time soon. Only you would say that an encyclopaedia is wrong. I do not see it being stated as a science there at all. Scientific method is a way of research and does not validate what is and is not a science. Science is the study of the physical, natural world (gravity, sound, light, human body etc.) and its manifestations.

    International Politics Thread

    Communism has never existed, by definition. Socialism grows all over the world. Just in the last few years important parts of South America announced the beginning of a socialism for the 21st century. In Nepal the maoists turned their country into a republic after ten years of civil war, then they won the elections and introduced a liberal democracy. In Cyprus and Moldova socialists (you would call them communists) recently won the elections and now rule the countries. In europe, especially in the east the anti-capitalists gain ground at a rapid speed. Things are far from over and they never will as long as there is capitalism. Marxism is the science about society and its ties to economy and history. There are solid facts, observations, theory that supports the socialist view of the world. He never said communism existed. Read more carefully. Those nations that are now supposedly socialists are parts of the world that nobody cares greatly about. Most you have listed have much lower standards than nations like Canada, US, Germany etc. Marxism is not a science for the last fcuking time. Stop passing your own thoughts as fact. According to the Encarta Encyclopedia it is: "The political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels." And wiki: "Marxism is the political philosophy and practice derived from the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels."

    Operation Flashpoint 2 officially announced

    Although they would struggle to make the planes uber realistic it would still be fun to have them. Nothing like playing a coop where one of your guys is flying overhead engaging tanks and delivering CAS on positions you mark out with smoke, laser designator etc.

    Red Alert for free!

    What's up with the Asian forces? Haven't you heard the story line? The Allies and the Soviets are fighting a war (Like always) and then Half way through suddenly out of now where comes the Empire of the Rising Sun (Japan) which have built up their forces to conquer the Soviet Union and the NATO countrys, NATO and the Soviets combine together and try and defeat the EOTRS. I guess you can figure out who wins in the end (Pretty Obvious) Â Ah right, never knew any of that. I did some digging *cough* wikipedia *cough* to check out the storyline. Instead of a US faction it's the Allied Nations so that's why there's Brits, silly me. So two reasons to hire Atkinson I suppose. Anyway the story is getting a little wacky: I foresee an expansion pack. Where the Soviets and Allies get ready to stab each other in the back once the EOTR is defeated. 'Jeez louise, it's STALIN!'
