Because they support there neighbors and had no reason to trust or depend on the UN which they were not a member of. Remember we are the people who gave Taiwan back to China in order to get China into the UN. Once again not a religious war though but a political one. Hell I am actually more confused why we went to South Korea then why the Chinese would consider us a danger on their continent.

I thought Dec 7, 41 was the Japanese. Wow now Rambo claims it is really the Chinese. Sorry man the Chinese had been at war with the Japanese long before your day of infamy. The Japanese are most Shindo Religion with the next largest being Christian. I know very little of that religion. But they did not attack America for religious reasons. They attacked because we placed a military blockaid and would not allow them oil or other resources. So trying to claim Buddhist started WWII is the same as Bush's WMD. Did believe it then and wont believe it now. Buddhist's have never declared a holy war against anyone. That would be just silly since we believe everyone should worship in the manner they choose.

I must agree I like most of SC2 also. Only complaints for me are no hexes and supply rules are poor. Unit costs are strange. Not sure why you need to pay for commanders. Overall though game plays well especially some of the mods.

Actually the part I dont understand is why you protest so much against all things that are good. Jesus was a fine man as I have told you we consider him a Buddha. I do not believe he is the only way to heaven. Buddhist do not judge. We dont say one man will go to heaven and another wont. Sorry but it is simply not for any Buddhist to say. Sure there are fanatic Muslims just like you being a fanatic Christian. That is how I compare them both sides have fanatics who do not read there Koran and Bible close enough to know that in each they preach love and caring for there fellow man. I have read both and did not find either to wish men to suffer poverty and sickness. Not sure why the Chinese should be Christian. There believes have been around long before your Jesus was born. The Hindu, Buddhist and Confusus believes have never started or been the cause of a war. They are peaceful people. Only two religions I know of who attempt to force there believes on others are Chistianity and Mohaddism. I do believe that if these two religions would stop causing wars the world would be better off. As to prophesy there is only the last chapter where you destroy the world. Kinda of a downer chapter to an otherwise good book. Sorry but I cannot believe a God would do such things to his people. I am sure that was put into your bible to control the people. Remove it and use one of the many other scrolls left out so that it makes for more pleasant and probably more accurate reading. But then I really dont care for Stephen Kings works either. There is also little logic in this no man may go to the Father (God) except through the son. My father has never had me screen all his calls or the door. He speaks for himself as I am sure God is fully capable of also.

The present system of sub vs convoy is okay but I must admit the CEAW system is significantly better. The inability for both sides to find eachother while convoys pop up and disappear. But our present ability to dive is also really kewl. I am hoping the lack of randomness for convoys will be overcome in the expansion by the new dive rules. Only time will tell.

Now I can finally see where you gain your knowledge from. Forrest Gump!!! Now I am sure he really knows the Chinese. I certainly would make that movie mandatory for learning all that the Chinese do. When I received my masters in Asian Culture I should have made my thesis based on the quotes of Mr Gump. But no I based it on actual writings and personal involvement in that culture. Silly me I could have just watched a movie. Have you actually travelled and meet any of the people you proclaim do not attend church. Have you actually visited India, Russia, China or anyothers you proclaim to be communist and godless. Have you done anything other then live in your car drive a truck and proclaim you are the one true believer. I am opposed to this war but you know you could consider joining the military and going to Iraq and meet those people. You could spread your Christianity to those heathen Arabs who worship Mohammad. BTW, Mohammad is another fine teacher. You might even learn something. Anything is possible.

Well, I do not find the game a good simulation except when I play vs the AI verses players it simulates no known war. But then none of these small games make very good simulations. I only find the large games at division and below to simulate anything. Corp and up games maybe strategic in level but have never simulated anything I can think of. Since the military never really thinks in those levels. The militarys primary operation level is Division. Corps and Armies are much more figurehead type units then active. They provide supply and G5. They also are the primary on most G3 functions but none of those functions are strategic or combat related. They are more populace and intelligence related. I therefore find corp level to be a decent game but not a simulation.

Everybody imposes their beliefs on others. That is a strong statement. I would think it is more like a few try to impose there beliefs and many. Mostly they are unsuccessful. Normally when they are successful it is a bad thing. Dont think anyone wants to keep you in a box Rambo. They would quickly be driven mad by your rantings. I would much rather see you in the wide open spaces where no people exist so you could hollar at the top of your lungs how we who respect live and liberty have collected too much taxes just to feed, cloth and give aid to the poor and uncared for. When you get to your heaven do you really want to tell God how you stood up against us radicals who want everyone to have medical care? How you said God had left people to strave and live in poverty because they did not follow his ways? How you judged each other of his teachers and called them plastic idols? No, when you get to heaven you want to say God I have many things to be sorry for. I did not do my best to help those who most needed my help. I did not comfort all those who I could have. But God even with all my faults I tried to help one person everyday. I tried to walk in the steps of the lord and follow his teachings. I was weak many times but lord I deserve your kindness because I always tried to give kindness all the time. I should not be placed in the firey pits for all eternity that I believe in because even though I did many things I regret now in your presence you created me with love and I did my best to spread love. I shall once again light incense for you. I would rub my belly and whateve the other thing you said if it would help you to see kindness and gentleness are not hateful but good things.

It is probably the only time I would play this game HvsH so I will give it a try.

So according to Rambo if you get a job it comes with health care. Uhmm, then why are 35,000,000 American workers without medical care. Sorry but in American your employer is not required to provide you with a living wage, health care, or a retirement system. I can find no excuse why Americans have no health care. Other then when I worked for the government no employer provided me health care. My sons both worked for private employers one of them for a radilogy lab and neither was provided health care. Health care issue is beyond the ability of private industry with the skyrocketing prices. The government desperately needs to step in and provide all Americans with the ability to see a doctor. At least then some of our tax dollars would be spent wisely instead of trying to kill our neighbors.

Actually the largest computer strategic game is CWIE. It has artillery. Only for the Russians but it still has it. It also has AA and antitank. None of these make the game any less strategic. I suspect the addition of these units will just mean we have more fun because we have more options. There is always the option not to buy those toys though then you can play it your way also.

I find it surprising that everyone who fails to believe as Rambo is a commie. Is a commie someone who allows others to believe as they wish. Well, guess I am a commie. If communissum leads to people having food, clothing and a place to sleep I support that also. I have been to communist nations. I spent many years in China. Also I have spent time in Russia. Are all the people who live in these vast lands are communist and non believer in the Rambo way. I think they might be. First they know not Rambo. Second they have their own believes and ways. Until we learn to get along and not be both obnoxious and unpleasant to our fellow man we are forced to have wars, poverty and unfair enrichments thoughout the world. Just because I am American and reside here does not make me any better or any worse then the peasant residing in China working on his farm. I must thank the US Army for teaching me this. While I trained for Special Forces we learned to respect our fellows that we were to teach both to fight and live. In my case they were no longer gooks or subhuman they became men and women just like any and we learned regardless of race, religion, social graces or political affliation to treat them with respect and dignity. I lead a battalion of Loatian Soldiers who mostly used spears and crossbows but these men joined me to fight not because of communism they didnt know what that was. They joined me because I taught the village ways to irragate. How to get enough food. How to get clean water. How to protect the village from invaders. BTW they also taught me many things I did not know also so it was always a two way street.

The patch greatly improved play in Russian and the Atlantic. The AI is challenging and fun. Without the Med and Africa though it still remains a mystery how good the game will get. I would give the patch a D since it didnt fix a single major issue only did things that any two year old could do. Game is still a C+ which will be moved depending on the next patch up significantly or me out of playing it.

Look at his earlier post seamonkey he said late August when I was whinning for a date.

Actually the latest information is that 10% owns 96% of the wealth. Not sure about your bottom number havent seen any posting. Due remember the 96% since when I saw it I was disgusted. But you can see it all the time. The poor keep getting poorer and the rich keep taking. It is not all bad though since the 2 richest people in the world have now begun to return over 90% of there wealth to the people through there charities. I must appauled Bill Gates and Warren Buffet for there altruism.(sp)

Yep your religion has for years scorned all other religions, Rambo. I understand you are a relatively new kid on the block and are trying to become the big bully. But Buddhist dont disrespect your Jesus we find him to be a fine Buddha. I am sure you know that Buddha means teacher and that the Buddha's teach you the way to God. We dont call Buddha's names or make fun of Buddha's because we respect all men. It is our truist light to allow all beings to live in harmony. We dont want one group or another to go to your hell. I can not even imagine why your Jesus would want most of the people in the world to go to hell since they are not Christian. Thought it was his desire to lead people to God not take most and send them to hell. I hope only a few Christian feel they must be rude to other believes not all. I do piety the Christians who believe that if you do not think as they think that you have no hope. Goodness not sure why you would want to condemn so many souls. I shall light some incense for you and hope you see the light that religion does not make you good or bad but the way you and your ways do that. As to your preacher friend he offered little but if it is all he could offer it was a great offering. I least he tried. His light will shine bright as long as he does not now expect some great thing for his gift. Charging for the gift or expecting something in return lessins the value of that gift.

Well that is great Timskorn. My son worked at a Best Western Inn as a Night Auditor for the last 6 years. He had a stroke on March 8. He is paralyzed on the right side. He gets $140 a week for disabilty and that will go to over $700 a month if and when he gets Social Security. How is he suppose to live? We live in LA, CA area housing runs over $1000 a month for a slum. I went to apply for food stamps for him. They offer $13 a month I refused it. How can you eat on $13 a month? He lost his car since he could no longer afford the payments due to his illness. So if he recovers he will be pennyless and without transportation so here that means very difficult to get a job. Where is your welfare? Where is the support? They dont care if he moves onto the streets and dies in fact that would be the preference. How is he suppose to get this great life America promises. I really hate when people use the example that one guy made it while millions of Americas go without medical aid, food and housing. If we are so good why do we not take care of our own? Sorry I have lost alot of faith in what I once believed was the best country in the world as I have seen only a country that cares not for its people but would rather assure some Iraqi has a job, food and security that we as Americas cant get. I remember the discussion of full health care for all Americans vs going to war with Iraq prior to the war. Bush and the congress choose war. I would have chosen peace and health care for Americans. But then those who cant get medical care also dont produce oil and Iraq does.

Rambo are you aware these bumms you are talking so badly about are over 50% veterans of foreign wars. That is the statisics on them. Mostly they are mentally incapable people from many sources. Most are just lost. Yes they are lost where they stand. They may have at one time been able to be productive but for one reason or another they no longer have that capability. I too wish there was a better way but so far I do not know one. I do know ignoring them is not the answer. I had a brother who committed suicide a few years ago. He was not a very bright person but a very hard worker who had worked at the same job for over 20 years. The business closed and no one would hire him. He tried many times and could get on for a week or so and they would let him go. He was in his 40's and had a retirement from the company which would start when he was 65. He lost his home that he had bought and was paying on. He then moved to the streets. I offered to let him move in with me but he would not accept charity. He never lived on your welfare or anything about six months of living on the streets he stepped in front of a train on purpose. Sorry I do not have the solution to these problems but I know we as a nation owe those who served more then a live on the streets. I do know that a man who works all his life and somehow gets removed from it needs help to get a start. I do know that any Buddha including your Jesus would have empathy for these people and try to help instead of complaining about the drain they maybe on your pocket.

Must be nice to understand the poor when you have money. I have been very rich. I have been very poor. I must say rich is much much better. The truely poor can rarely claw there way out of that situation even in American. While doing recruiting duty for the Army I was dispatched to some areas to recruit where the people didnt have phones, schools, cars or electricity. This was not some third world country this was Oklahoma (well maybe that is a third world country). But these people only sometimes learn to write they live on there farms the same as they did 100 years ago. They couldnt even get in the Army because they lacked the education required. One group of farms was easily 20 miles to a village that also had nothing so to determine that these people are poor because they want to be is hogwash. They are poor because they lack any oppertunity to get the basics to improve there lot in life.

That was fun to watch. I disagree with most of what was said because I believe it was a criminal act to attack a foreign power without provocation. I did not think we had the necessary provoacation prior to the invasion and wrote congress daily not to go but they listened to Bush. I do not think we have any legal right to stay there today. I do believe we should pay war repariations for having committed this crime. We had never preemptively invaded a soverign nation in the past that I know of and it should never be allowed to happen again. I leave that preemptive stuff to the evil side so that is Hitlers game and certainly should not be ours. We are suppose to be the good guys.

You better be careful Blashy. You could be banned from Wargaming if you let the AI beat you.

Those hard drugs you speak of still exist and are still used but now without medical supervision or even pharamist information. This makes them even more dangerous. Might the person become addicted. I do not know. I am not a person who really believes in additiction. I know in my case when I was young I drank too much but decided I didnt want to live my life as a drunk and have not drank now in 40 years come this December. I smoked cigarettes for 26 years. Decided they were bad for me and quit. Havent smoked one again. Addictive maybe but that is a state of mind you and only you can overcome. Most importantly does the making of drugs illegal make the people with additive personnality less likely to use an additive substance and I think we see that it does not. But if we placed our focus instead of jail and criminal to education and medical I believe we could make much better headway then we do. I really hate laws that make things illegal that are not a crime. Rape, murder, theft these are crimes. Riding your bike, driving your car, smoking a marjiana is not. Making them crimes only frustrates and confuses the system with made up problems. Freedom means you must allow people to make there own mistakes and let them pay for them.

Industralized not America we sent all that stuff to Japan and China to make. We are no longer industry we are a service country. Now from what I saw in the Netherlands the only industry they had was legalized prostitution. Interesting but not my taste. Now America has Legalized prostitution also but for some reason we confine it to Nevada. Again I am not sure why it is illegal. Not sure who is harmed if proper percautions and medical care is taken. I do believe that making sex illegal should be illegal.

War on Drugs, War on Terror why do we call these wars. No way can they be called wars as such. Only congress has the authority to declare war in America and there has been no declaration of war on either. I agree drugs should be legalized. The time since we have decided that only the government can decide what drug is good and what drug is bad has only created more problems. I came home from Nam with Malaria. No cure in the US. I went to China where they do have a cure. Take a pill for 30 days no Malaria. I used to spend many days in the hospital every few months since I took the cure no more malaria attacks. A doctor at the hospital told me about the cure but said the FDA had not approved it so he could not give it to me. Cure is still not approved and I have been cured for 15 years now. Does pot prevent pain for some? Doctors and patients say yes. Federal government says no it is not an approved drug. The politians are typically not physican so why they should be ruling on medical supplies is beyond me. Legalize and tax the drugs. It will be safer for the users and safer for our society since they will no long be committing crimes to get them. As to booze that should be legal also. Many counties despense booze out of vending machines. I have seen them in Europe. Our society has created more of a problem by attempting to control liquor then they have solved. I am a person who really believes in personal freedom. If drinking, using drugs, not wearing a seat belt, or a helmet when you ride a bike does no harm to others do not make it illegal. Individuals should have the right to do stupid things. We have governed everything so that the person has very little freedom in order to protect ourselves from ourselves. Dumb!!

These answers are awesome. I am finding much more variety then I expected.
