This could also be titled as "The Allied Navy, to say nothing of the soviets, SUCK!!" Seriously tho. I am along time BIG naval buff, alwaysreading and interested in warships. (i was the kind of kid that would build model ships solely for the purpose of floating them in the bathtub. ) When RA1 came around, i was in love with it, solely for that sweeeeeeeet Iowa class battleship, even tho they REALLY downgraded its capabilities for the game (why IS it sucha bitch to target ships with it anyway?!) and i think im not the only one here that would think twice about thier game when they saw an enemy fleet of (improperly named) cruisers bearing down on thier base. when RA2 came along, i had MIGHTILY high hopes, especially when learning that they were gonna have pearl harbor in it. Imagine my dissapointment with what i got. the crappy and ultimately little of use destroyer, which is merely the coast guard cutter. Effective unit true -- for the coast guard. NOT as a full wartime vessel. the "aircraft carrier" which while ok in concept was not near as effective (IMHO) as the soviet dreadnaught. the dolphin? meh ok i can let that slide. the hovercraft was good -- but where the F*** was the machine guns that you can plainly see on the build icon? next, the only truely DECENT naval unit for the allies, the Aegis, aka the bane of the Kirov. possibly the single most effective unit in the game when it came to airborne threats. but again i asked -- wheres the surfave deck gun that again you can see in the pic???? for that matter, what WAS stopping it from trashing surface threats anyway? oh and ill tap onto the soviet navy (or rather, lack therof) - the dreadnaught, as i said, i can make fairly effective, but too slow, too long to reload and WAY too limited in its capabilities. the flack ship? WTF? whata joke. the ONLY good thing that things for is keeping seals/tanya away from naval approaches, hell it takes a half dozen to effectively stop any air force, and i wont even comment on its LACK of abilities against a kirov. the typhoon? ok, but coulda been better. the octopus? o.O? ahhuh. another "put in to counter the other wierd thing put in" bit. okok ill stop there and go on to a mod i recently took up -- Overkill. good fun mod overall, and it made the aircraft carrier the truely lethal weapon it deserved to be --- but NO form of direct ship to surface bombardment, the torpedo boat in essense was too limited. the (Ohio class is it?) boomer sub is wicked cool but sucks in that only one can be built. ANYWAY, after AALL that ranting, i wanna say this -- does anyone know of or have a decent mod that DOES make RA2 nto a lil more of a naval based game? i would worship the ground thier on if they made a mod that had some decent battleships, cruisers, destroyers etc. i mean hell, historically, the americans and british always DID have, in modern history, the best navies feilded, and to be honest, the russians had some pretty decent stuff, when they were having good days anyway. any thoughts anyone?

http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/200...ure-060313.html Kudos to thid dude, hes got some real balls. hopefully, a few more will take his lead.

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publ...icle_7606.shtml Ya know ,We canadians/free worlders knew this before the FIRST "election". they are only seein it now? :roll:

Well, after thier threats, wanton violence, swearing of holy wars, etc etc etc, after all thier BULLSH!T, NOW they want to sue. how.... american. -.-' http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/200...oon-060330.html

:lol: :lol: :lol: Ok thats hilarious. he gets soooo wound up at me hes gotta take the weakest way to make jabs at someone -- thier grammar. sheesh. :lol: Not only that, but he takes my points ant twists them to make it look like he came up with them first. :lol: Then attempts to pretend not to be up in arms - yet is very quick to come off with his droll? :lol: Guess you dont like it much when someone else defends what THEY think with equal or greater zeal to you, eh bware? Oh, before i forget -- i did in fact cover some of the points, in that lil comparison between the muslim and christian faiths, just what my points were, but as it stands, why should i bother? if you havent the reading skills to see my point (which, i mean cmon, doesnt take THAT much) then why reword it all again for the umpteenth time? youve already made it clear you refuse to even accept others beleifs as anything close to valid, so its essentially academic now. Oh, ever pause to consider i was keepin it simple just to keep the simple people -- namely you -- able to understand? but since you cant grasp it in SIMPLE form, going complex over it would be prettymuch futile. Lastly -- History proves that, when in regards to christianity or any of the right wing faiths, it IS impossible to convince those of the extreme (as youve done well in showing your desire to be a part of). better to merely spread the word, and allow those who wish to examine do so on thier own. :lol: As a side note, i can easily say, to those who wish to be something the realist -- prove that god exists. last i checked, people have been trying for millenia -- and absolutely ALL efforts to such have been to no avail - and everytime that happens, the right wingers arwe quick to come off with really cheapass lame excuses for that, in the thinly vieled attempts to protect thier own faith.

Wow, thats the lamest comeback ive heard in a while. pity there is no one that can pass solid judgement on the actions of those that pretend to represent thier religion -- two thirds of the worlds populace would be wiped off the face of the map. Again, same old song and dance, same old story -- each faction claims to be different from the other, to have different morals, and to obey only some sections of a small collection of books that, in reality, have the same base origins. you can prance around all you want with your weak jabs at those that differ -- but the simnple fact is, placign absolute ant total faith in ONE thing, be it a book, a person, or even a god, will land you in the same place in the end -- the grave. You have obviously passed judgement on me -- allow me to return the favor and state it plain -- you're being exceptionally daft. such fun isnt it?

Wow. i actually agree with Bware here. BOTH sexes do it to themselves, the get blasted to f*ck, get laid, and then b!tch about it after the fact. they KNOW what can and will happen to them, and the make the choice to allow that to happen to themselves anyway. TOO F*CKIN BAD! dont be so stupid next time, is my answer. As it was told to me -- "If you choose to drink, or take drugs, first your BEING stupid, second, expect to act stupid and make stupid choices once under the influence." Pretty damned straightforward, and i have little use for the peons -- on BOTH sides of the gender fence -- that pull this kinda horse manure. Generally, its just an easy excuse, again for both sides, to screw around and avoid responcibility for it. Now then, as to me bein a feminazi -- methinks someones REALLy graspin for straws here. obviously, Bware has never looked at his own posts.

GL - that was me being nice and confirming it -- before i go and suggest your a few bricks short of a full load, for suggesting i think there needs to be more american blood spilt, or that im just seeing what i can do to piss off the masses (which, i have to say,is becoming easyer, if less intentional, by the post :lol: ) Bware - (wheres the insert sarcasm button?) Ever take a moment to consider ALL im doing is scratching the surface? or, more accurately -- pointing out that your side isnt near as rosy keen as you and your buddies like to pass it off as? More to the point, it again comes to a matter of credibility -- for i find far more in that "anti christian website" than some whino who hasnt been out in the real world long enough to actually get a DATE, let alone figure out what the meaning of life is. Im not confused at all here -- i merely laid out my thoughts, in a way that i thought you might have a chance of following them -- since youve prettymuch missed every other point ive made altogether. Ive already said ive not read the bible thru out and out -- i dont have the patience to read that load of (what i view to be)hypocritical outlandish and outright decieptful slag. I might add, that keeping it simple is a VERY good way to weed out the bullsh!t spouted off in a number of things -- more tho, appearing simple is an easy way see the true colors in people. Take you, for example -- you claim i have gotten myself confused -- yet it seems to me, at least, that your happy to quickly dissmiss ANYthing that doesnt sit with you, and cling to same old tired stuff that makes up, well, your beleifs i suppose. im not tryiong to convince anyone of anything really -- unlike some. more to the point, i dont NEED to pretend to be condesending, paticularly because i have this beleif of a "devine being" backing me. am i really making you that antsy by my comments, bware? Best way to sum up, as seen on a shirt - "I Could agree with you, then we BOTH would be WRONG!" :lol:

No actually, i stumbled across this one. hence, the term, "comedy". :roll:

Would you rather i place all my faith in the wordings of but ONE book? One book, i might add, that when people putthier faith in, most ddont even READ the whole damned thing thru.

*Seconds tree, for the hellovit*

Yeah... then you're ALSO a moron. It's just that the girls have so much more to lose. I doubt badger has even lost his virginity. Women have lost more than him, in fact I'm prety sure 95% of the concenting adults in the world have. How on earth can someone like him even stand a chance with anyone. Especially when he acts like he does on the boards. It is a fact that people who write/type things actually let out their true personality in what they express. So how the hell badger's personality gets him a girl is beyond me... Badger, I've told you before. Retirement homes are not nightclubs where the wicked, hot bitches are! So Stop sending me PMs already!!! :roll: Simple answer for ya -- for every two stupid guys theres at least ONE stupid woman -- and at least TWO crooked women out for no more than to f*ck guys over. Glad i gotta gf with brains AND decency

Were nitpicking over a few words now? Sad.

Hrrmmm.... Comparison here -- a religious prophet (or WTF ever he is) for the muslims orders infidels and those not agreeing killed; some elements of said religion swear up and down they dont follow that part. a prophet (at LEAST one, from what i gathered, he wasnt the only) for the christians had i nthe past ordered the deaths of millions as well; christians state that they dont follow "that part" of it. Various scriptures, as i understand it, call for the conversion OR death, no allowances in between, for people into thier religion. this has happened in its history, tho again modern "moderate" elements claim not to practice such. in some various scriptures in regards to the christians, the same is called -- those that do not wish to follow the faith are to be everything from excommunicated to flat out killed. this has also been practiced in the past, again, modern "moderate" elements claim not to practice this. BOTH have extremists present in thier ranks, both claim these extremists do not represent thier faith -- yet dont always seem to do much to "control thier herd" when things go well -- for them Im sorry but this reeks of rancid meat to me. f*cking religions; the bigger ones just seem to refuse to allow true personal freedom, or allow others tolive peaceably.

The who and wha? GL - i Do have somewhat of an apprecieation of sarcasm and wit, but i have to say -- that one REALLy eludes me. who ya aimin that at?

AAnnnnddd i see EXACTLY what i said would happen, happened, the right wingers got mega pissy... Which is fine, absolutely and totally expected from here. Now admittedly, i do have some of my facts off -- hell i think i SAID as much, at least in regards to my summary of the christian faith. however, i did NOT get ANYthing wrong in regards to my quoting of scriptures -- for i refused to take context from to or at ANY of the scriptures. i went with what i saw as stated, word for word. anything else is twisting whats there. (another notorious maneuver, i see.) Allow my to sum up the fallacy known as the christian/catholic/hebrew/associated and similar faiths with but one idea. in all of these faiths, god created man in his own, god's, images. further god instilled "free will" in humanity, and free will has been the subject of blame of MUCH of what humanity has done, to supposedly "piss god off" or keep us out of heaven. Now, it seems odd to me that we would, or COULD, do things, in the image of "a supreme being" or "god" if we are the same as he is. what was lost in the transition? or is it to say that god "programmed" or more accurately, designed us, to do so? by givin us the element of C H O I C E , one of the key ingredients to humanity, and THEN giving us a rather lengthy and constrictive list of rules to follow, what was he hoping for? me personally, id say (given this scenario) that either god ****ed up royally, in which case humanity was a mistake -- or god wants a replacement for himself. Now, the IMPORTANT thing to keep in mind with all of this -- is that this is ALL my oppinion. as many of ya have been ever so vocal about -- im ONLY one lil knowitall fro mthe yukon. So im spouting off insanity, big deal ---- but please, tell me something kids: why ya gettin so pissed off at someone with a different take on things? are ya all that insecure in yourselves to attack that which isnt like yas? I do say, as i dont think i made it clear enough -- i repsect everyone, and i mean EVERYone's rightto beleive as they want -- but since everyone DOES in fact question others beleifs, challenges them and so on -- i will do the same on my own. Yer damned skippy i got my own beleifs -- and before anyone says im ramming mine down others throat, i shall remind you, it IS on a fecking computer screen -- i aint holding a gun to anyones head or threatening to blow up ANYthing if you peoples dont beleive. (gee, think some people have some pent up hostility? XD)

Im not that fluent with music, but if memory serves, thats more mindless thrash metal isnt it? dont know so askin lol. btw, howsabout Avenged Sevenfold?

Oh this should be amusing -- i eagerly await your reply.

Bring it. In short, Christianity is based on the beleif that Jesus Christ, son of the virgin mary, was placed on this earth by god. he lived hislife, teaching his gospel, wandering the land, until the church of the day decided he wasnt a guy to have around. upon his execution date, the emperor of rome, his name eludes me ATM, went so far as to state, "I have no quarrels with this man" and then asked weather he , or another man should die. he asked the people within the colleseum i beleive it was, and it was the peopel that said, kill him,. they wished for the other man to live. he was then crucified, then sometime later, he was apparently reborn as per gods will, to continue his teachingsand kickstart the christian faith. Ok, i know thats not absolutely precice, but i think its reasonably close enough to the accepted form of the faith. Ask, fool, and ye shall receive -- In short, the guy was willing to murder his own sonto prove he feared god -- and god ACCEPTED it. Wow, nice way to kick this off eh? And we see but a pair of examples of god on his murdering spree.... In short, obey or god will personally kill you.... and now, ladies and gents, RIGHT to PRECICELY what mr f15 asked, "NO WHERE in the Bible does it say to kill people (in any way) just because they aren't Christian....completely different story in Islam ", i give to you..... Now i admit, this isnt quite as clear, its more worded to say that god will do it himself, but, lets continue -- More examples of god promising murder himself.... oo, i worked more than a few sundays --- why aint i dead yet? HELLO! The first direct commandmant, by god, forthe Isrealites to go ona killing spree. o.O no ****? And so they did. wowza. And he just destroyed freedom of religious beleif with t hreat of instant murder... WHOA!! Now hes telling the followers to do the dirty work!! O_O! I think thats the one that hits it directly on the head -- ANYone, by that, who is not Christian, is to die. rriiigghhht. Im gonna put a stop there, as this post is already quite inflamatory im sure -- people REALLY seem to hate thier dirty laundry aired, paticularly in regard to religion. Oh, and if you DARE come off with the line that , "Oh but Christians dont follow that" - BULLSH!T. Its taught together, studied together, and used together. its all part of the SAME DAMNED BOOK, ALL of it lumped together nicely. Christians, in patricular, are NOTORIOUS for this -- people will do precicely as ive done here, and quote scripture to prove the insanities that belie thier past, and they will say, Oh but we dont followthat section, we follow this section" but when the tables are spun, they are MORE than happy to spin around and quote scripture, from WHEREVER they find it, to aid THIER case. Be it known here, im not flaming ALL Christians for this, my flame is going right to the book itself, and the @$$holes who love to use it to excuse thier actions -- just the same exact PRECICE way the muslim terrorists use allah and thier faith, the same exact PRECICE way ANY fundie uses thier faith to excuse thier horrendous actions -- then hide by it like cowardly lil chickensh!ts when made to answer for thier actions. Stack it, stow it and shove it. you wanted proof, BELEIVE me, i can come up with a LOT more than just this -- and this is JUST for the christians side of things, i can cough up other proving points for other religions and THIER fecking lunacy. The bible DOES preach violence, DOES preach hatred, DOES state what god will supposedly do -- It is only by the grace of much of the followers these days that we dont see more of it from this paticular side of things.

A rebby that likes Korn and similar? thats a switch *SHOT* j/k Seriously -- what albums your preferred?

Well thats impressive. first, you say you dont quite get his point, then you say i utterly miss it altogether? Is it just me or is this gettin to be another episode of "The Stupid Show" here? And btw sweety, i dont need to attempt to do ANYthing. i just DO it.

......................................................... :? Honestly, i really didnt see anything funny there at all. bleeeehhhhh. theres about two minutes ill never get back..... -_-'

Yes and no -- i REALLY liked the ending of COR myself, one of the best endigns to, what admittedly was an at times screwy movie. but ya overall Pitch Black was more fun to watch. (my GF hates it tho, cause apparently, they screwed up in "what type of welders they used". shes a"Welding Enginerring Inspection Technitian", and goodluck saying that five times fast. o.o; )

Decency? Hats also a matter of perspective, is it not, Bware? Honestly, there are those here that do not exactly consider Christianity, Catholism, or republicans for that matter, to be among the ranks of "decency". i am not personally saying anything of the sort directly, i AM saying, however, that "definition of decency" varies from person to person, and to impose ONE paticularly narrow definition of decency is BEGGING for trouble. me, i tend to take things like religion, drugs and many politics in a les than pleasant way -- but that doesnt mean i will prevent people from expressing about it. That being said, there are SOME things that most everyone agrees should be met, especially in regards to children and so on, yus?

Does anyone here have Winamp V5.21? if so, do ya know WHY the damned thing keeps randomising tracks, randomiser on OR off? blasted POS...... -.-
