    LOL.

    This post is not in disgreement DD, but I do often watch politicians talk in similar vain suggesting that minorities are doing most of the sacrificing.

    It certainly makes sense that a number of poor people (of any race) would choose the miltiary as way out and/or up depending how the individual looks at it. I think this can be shown to have been true for many many cultures and throughout history. Perhaps it is a flaw in our human nature, or just the logic that if you don't have to go, many won't. Short of instituting required service, draft, or an extreme threat to existence, etc. (not too popular an idea) it will probably continue to remain a factor.

    Round my parts, TV always announces and shows pictures of the soldiers who have lost their life. The vast majority in this state have been white. Not all were poor.

    I'm sure that most all of us join in recognizing the service and sacrifice of all our military, regardless of race, sex, religion, financial status, etc.

    Interesting - I haven't read your "original" post for awhile and just noticed the edit. I wasn't offended at all. But, did someone feel worried that their original post of the holiday location may have been considered as potentially politically incorrect and/or offensive to some? :rolleyes:

    Rambo & Kuniworth vs Desert Dave & Yogi AAR

    Boy Kuni, why do you keep bringing me into all these things? Oh well, here goes:

    DD & Yogi jointly sharing Axis command and working in perfect harmony destroy Poland with a brilliant combined strategy of surprise, shock and awe & superior brainpower.

    Rambo (Britain, U.S.) and Kuniworth (France, Russia) playing allies get into philosophical argument over strategy and what are sure to be political post war issues. Before DD and Yogi can redeploy for the attack in the West, Rambo beats them to the punch and invades France himself as they are a bunch of useless liberal cowards anyway and sure to form an anti truth justice and American way government after their inevitable defeat.

    Kuni falters at first. Since everyone is equal and compassionate, no one knows who is in command or if it is ok to defend themselves as it could cause their attacker to really get mad. But decides he must take a stand against religious and social prejudice and the French and British fleets fight it out in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The British land in Normandy pushing towards Paris from the rear. Russia begins an offensive through Turkey and Iran toward North Africa.

    DD & Yogi take the opportunity to occupy the undefended cities of Paris, London, Moscow & Washington. Game over.

    The new world order establishes truth, freedom, tolerance and prosperity across the globe.

    Take care Dave enjoy the time off. Looks like by your LOL you realized that my comment about getting irritated and missing my holiday was all in fun.

    Ok gentleman, I'm getting a bit irritated. :mad:

    I have had to endure another a religious discussion, a stock market discussion, various personal arguments and through it all I still have never gotten the promised holiday. :D

    However, I should at least comment that not to let us down, in jest or not, the Rambo "Buddha vs Chucky" may be in the running for poorest taste, derrogatory and prejudicial post of all time. If we kept track, statistically he may hold the title to the top five or ten such posts. ;)

    You can be assured that I do "Stand Proud". The exchanges in the past with Rambo have actually been enjoyable and entertaining. I have responded in fun mode at times just to rile him up. I have thought about actually responding in a more serious way as to why I don't accept his challenge, but I would hate to have it looked at as lowering myself or as flaming. As I have said in the past, Rambo has made some great contributions to the forum, is a great supporter of SC2 and is respected as a player of the game. Many of his views on other matters aren't actually all bad. It is the method he responds in that degrades them.

    Thanks for wishing me well Kuni. Unfortunately, Rambo's post pretty much shows your claim is misguided, as I tried to point out to you on another thread. tongue.gif

    Nice to see that Rambo still thinks of me though, as it is nice being held to a position of such importance. ;)

    Hmmm,

    We seem to be creating a pattern here. First Patton, Now Russia and probably more.

    Who'd of thought on the SC2 forum all roads lead to religous discussion? :confused:

    Ah there we have it. Yogi defending Rambo, the two antagonists are now like brothers. </font>

    Well, depends how you look at it.

    Sickness: It would be nice if all people would be willing to do jobs at no profit for the good of all. I would argue however that to attract the brightest and the best doctors, nurses, hospitals etc. that the incentive of profit seems to help quite a bit.

    Food: Seems that when people can profit, they work harder and produce more and better crops and other food and better distribution and avaialabilty of it. When they have nothing to gain from doing so, they don't. Just talk to a farmer or rancher and/or take a look at failed systems in history.

    While it might be nice if idealistic arguments worked. Human nature seems to indicate that we may have to consider systems that do. Democracy and Capitalism certainly may have problems and evils, but they also seem to have their benefits and rewards.

    60% of all the money I make goes into taxes every year so I know what over taxation is.

    So I guess it isn't free after all. Also consider that for everyone who collects more benefit then they pay in, there has to be someone who is recieving less benefit then they pay for.

    Any any rate, back on page one I predicted an inevitable lock-up. Interesting that it has gone on so long, but even more interesting is where it has gone.

    To think that all of this is from a "Patton Lives!" post. So much for staying on thread topic.

    Well, as mentioned, this debate has gone on a long time ever since it became known that SC2 would be squares. It can be continued to be argued I suppose that squares are as good as hexes. I happen to like SC2 and think it's a great game. However:

    I'm reasonably sure that if you took a preference poll of seasoned "wargamers" that hexes would easily be chosen as favorite.

    If thats the case and there is no difference as suggested by some, the obvious choice for a game to make is hexes as it satisfies the most people.

    If squares are better (not just as good) then someone is going to have to figure out how to make that case to the majority of gamers before it will be more readily accepted.

    I have no objection to those who don't care and feel it makes no difference. I do suggest however that hexes are better recieved by the majority of gamers. If that is the case (and it certainly seems to be) hexes would seem to be the better choice for marketing and selling of a game.
