Bonfire

ah interesting thread. anywho, heres my take... i should point out though, i do not have "all the answers", i'm just tossing in my 2 cents i do believe that there is a God. And i believe that he created life and earth and such. Things like a strand of DNA for example, i think that for something that exact, that fine tuned, can only be created by a loving and dedicated creator. I think that for humans to come this far, to have done so much more than any other species in the history of time (and in such a short period of time) is not a fluke. And for such a wide variety of life to come from a random mixing of amino acids and protens and such just seems so unbelieveable. I have a friend whos a sold atheist, and she believes in evolution, and thinks that 100,000 years ago, a sudden change happend in "our" brains that made us more intelligent. and to her, the notion of a God was very far fetched. Not unlike the notion of a sudden change in our brains is to someone who is a creationist. I believe that God has given us freewill (i figure because its more satisfying to be worshiped by people who want to rather than people who have to), and has given everyone a purpose. I can't imagine that life evolved for a billion years just so i can waist time in from of my pc. anyway, i'll leave it at that for now

that and other classic rock stuff (pink floyd, led zeppelin, guns & roses, deep purple etc etc)

well Canada doesn't have a large military, infact we are second from the bottom in NATO for military spending [just a little ahead of luxembourg(sp?)] anywho, our elite guys are called Joint Taskforce 2 (or JT2) its kinda like SAS or seals, maybe more of a swat team on steriods. Â there a pretty secretive bunch, but as far as i know, its an anti terrorism thing. Â They are in Afganistan right now....

I'm just giving my impartial "outside looking in" opinoion, if you don't like it thats tough.

well, i'm going to offer up my humble opinion. I've been watching these events in the middle east, and i've been trying to get the most unbias news i can. In situations such as these, i find news about the events can be one sided and almost like propiganda in nature. for instance, the US is allies with Isreal, and when i watch news on ABC, i find it to be more favoring Isreal as the good guys. Walking onto a crowded bus and blowing yourself up is no way to fight a war. equally, driving tanks into refugee camps and demolishing buildings is no way to fight a war. I have sympathy for both sides really, sympathy in the fact that innocent people are dieing there every single day. I don't agreee with the whole situation. (in my limited knowledge of things) I find that Isreals efforts to thwart terrorism is perhaps just an excuse to continue fighting. And I find that both sides are perhaps to proud to work for peace. in the end, i think this pride will be the downfall of both.

in the past i've managed to arm the light plane with rockets and mavericks using the intilization field (?) in the mission editor. Now, how would one go about arming the Tractor like that? (i know its sounds funny and dumb...) it doesn't seem to work the way the plane does....

i think that the soldiers are a little too stone cold. when the guy next to you gets his face shot off, some one should puke. stuff like that, more emotional realism

well...I live in a very very small "town" called Shanty Bay in central Ontario Canada, used to be a stop on what was called "the underground rail road". as for myself, i'm 19 and graduated high school last year and i'm slowly working to pay for whatever i take in college university. i work mostly as a carpenter/handman type...that probably what i'll end up doing, houses don't build themselves I have a great girlfriend that lives about 2 hours away in Kitchener ontario. Live with my folks and 2 sisters. I spend my summers in Parry Sound Ontario (home of Bobby Orr) working at a summer camp as a maintence guy, not alot of money but good times. mainly my interests include playing my guitar and music in general, i used to work at a music stuido were i got to fix guitars and such. Games are up there as well as the outdoors. and my name is Don.

Fun, you said it. Sometimes when i don't feel like doing organized missions, i partake in the "great vehical toss"...set up a bunch of satchel charges under tanks or bmps and let fly....50 charges send a BMP into orbit...i think, i never found the remains

has it got a name? I've given a unit the gun alright but i'm not really sure as to the Ammo's name.

I'm making a mission in the mission editor (surpirse surpirse ) and its losely based on "heart of darkness/Apocolypse now"....it may end up as a mini campagine... anywho, first off i'm having difficulty with getting a unit to sit down, i have a Trigger set up, once the unit reaches that point, they should sit. Â in the "on activation" line i put this switchmove "effectstandsitdown", the trigger is a switch. Â it doesn't want to work and i've exausted my ideas. And for the mission itself, Â i wanted to have the Kutrz type character (who'll end up being an unarmed russian) be guarded by "Natives", which will be the resistance. Â In the move/book the natives are generally friendly, and that is easily accoplished. Â however i'd like to have a half dozen or so hostile natives that act as guards to "kurtz"....is this possible without resorting to scripting? thanks in advance

Fear Me Bush!

i managed to arm a cesna with 192 rockets...sometimes it takes a minute or two for them to arm. you may hve to go with a Resistance fighter instead of a civ

I don't do pot....i just don't see the appeal of it. the only things i smoke are the occasional cigars (cubans if i can help it;)) I don't mind the occasional brew as well...and how and then go out and get loaded, but beyond that...
