I'm currently on another one of my WWII era phases right now, thanks to IL2. I'm somewhere in the middle of a great read, Baa Baa Black Sheep. It's written by Col. Gregory Boyington about his Black Sheep Squadron in the Pacific. Pretty laid-back autobiographic style, very entertaining. Another autobiography, is My Jihad, by Aukai Collins. You may have seen him on Pelton's- World's Most Dangerous Places. He was an American who went to fight the Soviets as a Mujahid in Afghanistan. The first hand accounts of his rag tag bunch taking on the might of the USSR are very engaging. It really brought back many OFP memories when he describes events like sneaking up on an unsuspecting BMP with his rpg. The latter portions deal with his disillusionment towards jihad after 9/11. His view of 'resistance' actually involved fighting the invading military, and not the civilians. What a novel idea.

I'd hope so, which is why I asked. Â I'm a paranoid person by nature, so when 100% of Europeans that end up on our t.v.s here have such an intense hatred for us... I guess I get more paranoid? Â Forgive me if I sounded hostile, I understand why the French are upset... I just wondered if it went anywhere near that far w/ most average citizens. Â I assumed obvioiusly that the country as a whole wouldn't feel EXACTLY that way... I guess a better way to have phrased my question would have been to ask... do many French find such an action vile and inhuman. Â Or do they figure, despite it being a little extreme, "ahhh they deserve it." Edit: These are weird times, my mind is way too jumbled lately. I should have probably asked a less specific question... maybe, Has the sympathy for 9/11 dwindled at all due to current events. I shouldn't have let it sound directed at any one country.

I'm curious what you folks think about this one... So the French destroy a couple McDonalds and American flags.... but they hate us enough to sh!t on the 9/11 victims? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,82245,00.html (forgive me if this has been mentioned, some days I can keep up with the 20 new pages a day, sometimes I'm lazy) I've been trying my darndest lately to respect France, so maybe I can be enlightened as to how any human could go that far. Are they bad apples? Or are we hated THAT much by France's general pop? There was also a similar report recently of Canadians defacing a 9/11 memorial that a CANADIAN had assembled in his lawn. I guess my question is... is the great satan despised so much at this point that all sympathy for 9/11 is gone? I get angry at certain countries occasionally... but as short tempered as I am, ... I just can't fathom it.

They just found Ricin in a Paris train station  And they tried so hard to stay out of it... edit: doh! I need to learn to read... sorry

Wow, looks like France may join afterall... just read that if Iraq uses chem or bio weapons they plan to participate. http://edition.cnn.com/2003....ex.html

Nope, Folk Implosion was never a popular band They (2 guys) were basically formed by a guy named Lou Barlow, who was basically all of a band called Sebadoh. He's slightly talented, but mostly won fans by talking about how amazing he thinks he is. Sebadoh was mildly successful at what was called 'alternative' back then, but now that alternative means mainstream... Folk Implosion is just considered unemployed musicians An old band of mine played with them when I was a bit younger, and they were a$$holes.

My 2 cents.... DAoC stole my life for the last year  I'd played nothing but military games before a friend got me hooked on the rpg thing (which I always swore I'd never come near, and constantly made fun of him for playing I don't think it was the fun factor that got me hooked.  It's the fact that these companies produce a game where you pay THEM monthly to work your ass off.  I think maybe 40 to 50% of the time I had fun, but most of the time you just pay to work.  They just get you addicted to wanting to make 'progress' in a never ending cycle.  As far as the particular game DAoC... they add a slight twist to the rpg thing- the Realm vs. Realm.  You go take a keep, the enemy takes it back, you go take it, they take it back....  The PvP thing is interesting at first, but quickly becomes boring. I cancelled my account and have had nothing but Resistance on my screen since I wouldn't advise wasting your time.  Did I mention there aren't any guns?!

Is it me or have all these girls been in the sun, or tanning bed, WAAAAY too long?! Not that I don't enjoy the pics- but all of them seem to be bright red! Oh, and hello to all my old friends

Haha... you're taking it waaaaaaay back eh?

Old friends? ... too many to count... Placebo, Snake, Hilandor, Ronin, Pete, Wobble, Sith, DnA.... bad memory... etc. Old post count- few thousand... MIA for too long.
