Expansion plans not derailed by killings.

no.. not the squad.xml. You can set custom textures. See BAS's rangers.

before we get into a international tussle.. we need user definable textures where you can set them to a few different air forces.

I think that in general, nuclear is considered the most efficient energy when you compare the ratio of energy produced to the waste is generates. Â I can smell some luddism when some people start "going off" on nuclear power in general. Â That been said, nuclear is not the end all, be all when it comes to an energy source - it is extremely dangerous if not given the proper amount of respect (in as far as managing nuclear power plants). Hopefully we will find a new power source soon from something we have an abundance of, is relatively cheap to derive the energy from, and produces "waste" in very limited qualities. We have an enormous supply of Nitrogen; Â someone needs to figure out how to derive energy from it efficiently.

Maybe not in USA but certainly in Europe where nationality equals ethnic group. Belonging to a state and belonging to a nation is not the same thing. I can see how the difference in understanding would come about.

No.. I was merely pointing out that national identity is not a permanent attribute.

well.. at least you're honest It's a legal term.

I suppose you want to dispose of our senate as well since it is based on the very same concept. My little state of 600,000 has the exact same power in the senate as California with its population of 34 million, Texas at 20 million people, and New York at 18 million people.

link stumbled over this...

I believe that "yank" is an insensitive and bigoted slur for an American. Â Please cease and desist in using that term. Â Thank you.

Yes, a violent death though.

Funny...the Secretary of the US Navy in 1941 disagreed with you.... "In public speeches I have warned the American people that if Britain is defeated, we ought then to be fully prepared to repel attempts by Germany to seize bases on this side of the Atlantic. Germany would use these bases either to attack us directly or else first to establish herself solidly in South America. Many of our people and many of the speakers who have opposed giving ample aid to Great Britain apparently believe it fantastic to think that there is any real danger of invasion. I disagree with such people and believe that a victorious Germany would move over to this hemisphere just as soon as she could accumulate the strength to do so, and certainly very soon unless we now take the steps to check her career of reckless aggression." Â Â William Knox, 1941 I did not ever say anything about not keeping the Germans out of the western hemisphere. I fully support an active atlantic U.S fleet in accordance with the Monroe Doctrine. Ok.. that's enough of my ME diversion for now

First of all, it's not about where you're born, it's about where you live. Â You can control that. Have you ever heard of immigration ;) Second, I wasn't arguing that what he did wasn't discriminatory. I was fussing over his use of the work "race". pay attention!

In that situation, the congress would likely get involved if an administration took such an absurd route. Our government has quite a bit of checks and balances.

I'm not sure what your point is. Â Are you saying that nazi and communist dictatorships would tolerate each other in any eventuality because they had dictatorship in common?

Ratification happens in Congress in the U.S. There is no "regime" in Congress as each member is elected by a unique constituency. Congress is calling the shots as far as the ICC in the U.S.

I put it back for you.

A quick question: How can a country be accountable to a treaty it has not ratified?

hmmm.. true. The same could be said of those dying to palestinian bombers.

Ya, he should of taken their money and spit on their pizzas Or just not wash his hands after going to the bathroom. (lol, just watched the Seinfeld episode that had Poppy making the pie after leaving the bathroom without washing his hands, lol classic) bwahaha! that would work.

Heh. Actually, with Germanys stance on the Iraq war the USA threatened to withdraw its troops their for protection. Germany said "Hell yes, get the hell out" and then they quickly withdrew their threat. I don't know where you heard that they "withdrew" it but the U.S is removing troops from Germany. Bull. If the USA didn't join in the second world war, who knows how long it would have been in the great depression? It was the WWII that helped pull it out, remember? What? Â go to war with a distant enemy to improve the economy!?! Â Is that your recommendation?

amazing how people get bent out of shape over terminology clarification.

Somehow I highly doubt a heavily battle-beleaguered Third Reich would be able to overcome a few thousand kilometers worth of ocean.. and for what? some depression-affected farmers in the U.S?. Â Don't taunt me with faux concern. The Nazis and their minions.. and the Communists and their own, would likely expend themselves decimating each other.. thus ending both diametrically opposed extremisms. No Cold War.. no U.S superpower... Well, that's my hypothesis .

That's a load of tosh. Most nations are fairly racially diverse. I've never heard all members of single country being called a single race (unless genetically they are, which is unlikely). Main Entry: rac·ism Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi- Function: noun Date: 1936 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination heh bzzt.. sorry alex... the correct question is: "What is nationalism?" heh

Yes, of course, after all, we all know that the Gestapo was all about stomping out racial prejudice  . This has nothing to do with race, genius... Born in France = Can't go in notwithstanding political feelings, ect. How is that not racist, Einstein? Race is never mentioned... perhaps you can point the races involved to me?
