Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War

Trooper,

Well, Edwidge Danticat was born in Haiti - but if she is considered to be from the U.S. it emphasizes French open mindedness even more.

Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War

What's funny is most of the people who attack Moore attack his politics but conveniently ignore the content.

From what I've read (especially in this thread) - the tone of some anti-Moore people...

Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War

One thing the movie brings up that no one has rationailized is why did Bush allow Bin Ladin's relatives to leave the U.S. right after 9/11.

Re: OT: Free speech?

The irony is that we've enabled the very forces that are most anti-american by invading Iraq.

Re: Stellar manip and movement in simultaneous game

That's right - you can do that to destroy a star as well. . . and if you don't initiate any movement it will happen instantly. You can delay these actions by moving, however, so they don't happen...

Re: Stellar manip and movement in simultaneous game

In simultaneous movement Stellar Manipulation (sm) happens first in a movement impulse so if you don't move your ship it will close or open before anything else happens.

I think a large map and random placement is fine. If things are too far out of whack we can deal with it then.

I would add no Ancient trait.

I would propose 1 colony type and 1 atmosphere per side. No one can take the "none" atmosphere type.

Re: What Do You Mean I Can\'t!

Umm . . . I'm not going to explain why your overtime was taxed at a higher rate.

The important thing, though, is when you sent in your tax return. On line 22 of the 1040 is your total gross...

Actually it sounds like you simply went up to a higher tax bracket or you got hit with the AMT. Unless of course you made over $100,000 then you yes you should blame Clinton for your higher tax.

Re: OT - Tribute to a hero

That's part of the tragedy. The politicians who sent Tilman are the very same ones who did not follow Tilman's example. They did everything within their power not to go.
