Kuniworth Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I suggest a yearly tournament to be played in TCP/IP with standard z-league rules; THE STRATEGIC COMMAND RYDER CUP - EUROPE vs USA Team-captains of either camp will select 5 players to battle it out in a 5 matches series struggle to decide which continent that rules the SC-gaming world. - Captains of Europe will be Zappsweden and Terif - Camp America will be lead by John J Rambo Every game won will give 1 point. A draw gives 0,5. 5 games - 10 players - a load of fun. You´re up for it USA?? [ July 30, 2003, 05:19 PM: Message edited by: Kuniworth ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I've been waiting a year for this. Maybe the European Union can't unify on this & want to represent their country instead.

Kuniworth Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 I furthermore suggest that the players to game 1-5 are decided like this; Game 1 - USA decides which player to use first then Europe Game 2 - Europe decides player first then USA Game 3 - US first then Europe Game 4 - Europe first then US Game 5 - the remaining 2 players Note! All players must be used, so 1 match per player. Every match will be posted with AAR.

zappsweden Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I would want better matchup instead of the "Europe select their #1, USA counters by selecting their #5". This means Terif will be playing the lowest ranked in USA since they recon Terif will win anyway. I rather want level play i.e more excitement in every matchup. Higher ranked face higher ranked, lower ranked face lower ranked. [ August 04, 2003, 05:13 PM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJohn Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 It turned Brother against Brother and Brucie against Goosie. It was hell! I thought all these Gay issues were taken care of decades ago and the rest only involved the St Patrick's Day Parade. Guess I was wrong. To me it's all a bit ridiculous. Most mature people don't care much about the sexual practices of other people. I've got a gay nephew, actually he bounces back and forth, and have never held it against him. Aside from which my family breeds like rabbits and nature needs to find some way of controling it. But it seems the more society in general tries to give that particular group some space, the space it keeps demanding. The Military, Clergy, Marriage, Adoption -- why? And what possible purpose can be served by marrying two people who are never going to have children; as for adaption in that instance, I finally draw the line. NO! If a child is somehow "gay" then I accept it and do not go nuts trying to change it. Taking a presumably hetorosexual child and planting him in such an artificial enviornment, to live with Dad & Dad or Mom & Mom -- that seems beyond absurd and grossly unfair to the child, who is only there to suit some self-serving and self-denied parental need. Let's see tolerance balanced with common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hm I must say that this is a very conservative postition showed by many off you. Im very surprised. Lets throw in some facts; - There are no proof WHATSOEVER that gay or bisexual parents are worse parents than heterosexual. - There is no proof WHATSOEVER that children in such relationships will take damage of it. This is a common myth or arguement that plainly dont stand up to the test. In Sweden gay- or bisexuals got the right to agree on a partnership, which got similar rights as in a regular marriage. But I would like to see a change here so they can indulce(?) in a regular marriage. In Sweden you can marry both in church and outside it(if you not believe in christianity) with the same legal rights in both cases. Let people marry and enjoy their life as long as it dont hurts anyone. I couldnt care less. How do you get the strength to bother if someone gay-people likes to take each other in the ass??

JerseyJohn Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Kuniworth "- There are no proof WHATSOEVER that gay or bisexual parents are worse parents than heterosexual." Many, many heterosecual parents are horrible at raising children, so that's pretty much agreed upon and there's no need to go into details. On the other hand, there's no reason to believe gay couples would do any better and there's the additional handicaps -- two of them -- that the basic situation is contrived and also that the parential relationship might well be of a more transitory nature than if it were heterosexual. If a pair of homesexual parents, male or female, can raise children to be come credits to society, then I have no problem with it. As I said earlier, I don't care about people being homosexual, that's their own business. What sort of turns me against them is out of nowhere they've got to be treated as a special minority. I don't see Heterosexual Pride Days or Parades, and I don't see married couples being pushy about the need to have their own part of every parade. As a group they too often get like attention starved children. At the last house I lived in, around fifteen years back, there were a pair of homesexuals living next door and they harped on being homosexual every damn time I saw either of them. After three or four years I finally asked them while they were together if I'd ever asked them what their persuasion was and they said I hadn't and I said, "Well, then it might just be a never gave a damn and would have preferred talking about other things the five hundred time you told me about your arrangement, which I never gave a damn about either." I honestly wish they'd just become a part of society and stop making it such a big deal. Anyone who needs to worry about it hasn't got enough worries in his or her life.

Logan Hartke Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Geez, you guys aren't even on the second page yet and there is no semblance of the original topic. The topic has descended into a debate over same-sex marriages. If this is the OFFICIAL thread, I'd hate to see the UNOFFICIAL thread...

JerseyJohn Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Jordy Glad we agree, I've always thought it was strange to have this issue linger so long, all through the ages. Logan Six or seven months ago Thread Topics never lasted longer than three or four postings, after that it was anyone's guess. It's been getting better, though I've got to admit this one has really gone off the deep end. Don't be surprised if it ends up in a debate involving sonar, killer Whales and Women's Lib in the Andes.

Shaka of Carthage Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Off-Topic I believe the advocates of the gay marriages would tell you that being recognized as a married couple makes it legally easier for dealing with other issues like insurance, health care, etc. If someone wants to get married, who happen to be the same sex, I have no problem with that. On-Topic Do we really need a "tournament" to see who is "better" than someone else? Can't we all just get along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 JerseyJohn Both gay and hetero-sexual persons can be good or bad parents. I agree. It got nothing to do with their sexual preferences but instead if they as individual can handle beeing a parent. Therefor laws limiting the rights of homosexuals are discriminating. Its not a good thing to build a society upon unnecessary discrimination. All citizens should be equal in rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
