OPF doesn't go THAT far back in time. Â It uses all of today's weapons. Â The only things that the U.S. military doesn't use anymore are the Jeeps and the M60 (tank, not Mgun). Â And the russians still use most of their tanks and jeeps too. Â Probably not the T55 though That's just not correct at all.<span id='postcolor'> Thats why they don't use it in the game perhaps?

He takes every day ingredients, mixes them together with a dash of humour or sadness (depending on the recipe) and after careful mixing  and preperation, presents us with the Meal of Truth. Basically what I am trying to say is that his plays are so true..so much a picture of life and human nature.. that they are timeless.  Witness all the different time periods that his works have been played in. Richard the II in the 1930's, Romeo and Juliet in the 1990's, and Othello in a high school of the new millenium.  You can play his works in any time period and the basic themeatic elements still work. But hey, what do I know? <span id='postcolor'> You're right, I've done quite a lot of drama myself (I have a national diploma actually ) and Shakespeare is the absolute best to act.

What? <span id='postcolor'> I though it was only a Canadian problem but as I have been online for awhile, it seems to effect most of the commonwealth. The Criminals seem to have more rights than the victims. Example story: Some guy had a bear trap set under his basement window. One night some punk broke in and fell down onto the trap. To make a long story short, the guy that set the trap was more heavily punished than the guy that broke in. It seems to be a disease that people in these countries think that criminals have a problem and need to be helped. What ends up happening is the victim is seen as the criminal by society. Its also happening with "police brutality", where the cops are the bad guys. Sure there are the occasional beatings, that are completly unessary, but if i was running from the cops I would expect a good bloody beating. And then there is the court system in Canada where a life sentence is no more than 25 years, and they only have to serve 1 third of it. What a sick government I live under.<span id='postcolor'> I said he should be punished and severley too, he should be permanently put away. That does not stop one feeling pity however.

Pity him as well as her, his life must be a misery. Whatever the sod has done he must be in alot of pain also.  It's too late to feel sorry for the bastard now, I still stand by my origional comment. Compassion doesn't prevent punishment. He should be punished for his crime and placed where he can't hurt people, but that needn't stop you pitying him. For his is pitiful. <span id='postcolor'> The Bastard doesn't deserve compassion, he is human garbage and we should do with him what we do with the garbage bags we put at the side of the road every monday morning.<span id='postcolor'> If you feel no compassion for this pathetic creature then I pity you also.
