I hate every Praetorian

No, it means that you've discovered all the lies of the dictatorship while you've been fighting them - Resistance players start off in the same state as the loyalists - they don't know the full horror of Praetoria

Correct - they also do a very good job of keeping the slaves in

Or "Knows the Truth, and Likes what She/He Sees", for those with a stromtrooper mentality

You're joking about, Kang, right? He's the scum of the earth for what he did to his daughter.

The Civil War started over Capitalism. The North wanted higher tariffs on cotton, wheat, textile/food exports with lower tariffs on machinery or other goods. The south (while larger) was less populated by the north and felt threatened by the democratic superiority of the Northern states. Secession was the alternative. The Abolition of Slavery was a minor issue in the greater scheme of the war.

World War 2 was inspired by Capitalism. After WW1 Germany was in the greatest economic depression it's ever seen. Hitler and his national Socialist Party came into power because people wanted better money-handling methods and practices. However, Hitler's "Socialist" regime was hardly socialism. All it did was give him greater power after he eliminated all other political threats and started consolidating power as the Chancellor of Germany. Greed and Capitalism lead to his rise, since most people couldn't get -jobs- outside of Germany if they had german blood.

Every War Britain has Ever gotten into has been based on Capitalistic greed. Whether it's taking over the Ivory Coast or trying to reclaim the American Colonies due to the large amounts of cash they and the companies under the monarchy were raking in from the goods shipped in.

Yeah... pol pot and Stalin weren't capitalists. But they also weren't Socialists, according to the original meaning and intent of the word.

The best example of true Socialism in action would be the Native Americans and other tribal people throughout history. The Hunters hunt, the Gatherers Gather, everyone works and everyone is better off for it. If someone is sick or injured they are tended while the work goes on around them. In a Capitalist Society the injured or ill just don't earn any cash during the time they're not working.

Not to nitpick, but you're a bit off on that sister. Virginia after the Revolution was very abolition minded. Virginia delegates, actually tried to have slavery outlawed. South Carolina put up the biggest fight, and the Northern colonies were happy to sit back and not argue the issue.

I also don't know that I'd call democracy evil. As a wiser fella than myself once said, it's a terrible form of government, but it beats the alternatives.

Wars are typically fought over resources. Politics, religion, culture, etc. are just window dressing, and those are mostly external motivations.

Many of Stalin's greatest atrocities occured due to his forced collectivization and were done to his own people over his political ideology. This is not unique to other communist strongmen.

Like how she takes a single line out of a large post with various points and paragraphs of explanation, then tosses off a "Cutesy" one-liner with an infuriating smiley face at the end to show her superiority complex?

Ayep.

Sadly, I'm incapable of Catfighting. =-(

My father was a Drill Sergeant and taught me how to fight early on, in case some boy got me alone somewhere... Plus I'm 6'3" tall. >.>

Pft..
That's not tall.

6'9''

Oof... oh man...


I'm just gonna sit this one out. :\




It's really difficult, though.

Give me six months to work with Golden Girl and we could really have an event.

More like a certain Palin imho.
