Re: anti personel mines. How Can anyone defend the production of a weapon that maims 22000 civilians every year?? (and I sure that number includes a ton of children) Sure the problem may be not cleaning them up but frankly I think the world could avoid a lot of problems if those selling weapons cared a little more about how and who would be using them.

Someone was very drunk or naive when writing this.

Oh very nice. I offer my 2 cents worth and get accused of being drunk. Got anything less insulting to say?

Some1, please don't be so arrogant to assume that you hold absolute truth and anyone that disagrees with you is naive. The only one being naive there is the person that believes they hold absolute truth.

Phoenix-D:

"(In US many says " it's not guns whoo kill people, people kill people", yeah, five year olds who find's their dad's gun!)"

Total number of deaths in the US:
2,391,399
Deaths by firearms, all causes:
28663

One percent; the majority of people killed were in the 15-29 range for men and 30-44 for women. Not exactly an epidepmic of 5- year olds getting killed.

Thanks for backing me up there.

Fyron:
Some1 breatched good netiquette with his post. But he has already appologized, and that should end it.

All off us posting in these political threads suffer more or less from the arrogance virus. We should all try to keep that patronizing tone out of our Posts.

EDIT: Oops! I did it again, this is hard.

I think the only reason we post in these "political" topics is becourse we are frequent posters here.
We somehow got the impression that we "know" eachother and therefore feel comfortable enough to talk about these things, and not only SE4 things.

I think this is a good thing.

And I think Mines should be Banned in SE4 aswell, those pesky buggers kill most of my ships!

IBSE4MT (International Ban for Space Empires 4 Mines Treaty)

Also, people under the age of 30 shouldn't be allowed to have Phased Beam weapons, they migh harm themself, how about that Fyron and P-D, can you find any statistics?

Indeed, these discussions are far more civil, because forum members here have a kind of reporte. and yes, not only should those under 30 be Banned from PPBs, but those living anywhere within 100 miles of LA should be Banned from having APBs or NSCs, as well. Im sure Fyron would agree.

Today I have received a mail from one of my US friends, we are working together in the same company division, just the ocean is between us:

Today was the day when they notified many people (mostly R&D types) that they were being released from ... It is a sad day here too! I believe that our stupid president George W. Bush is personally responsible for the bad worldwide economic climate! All he wants to do is go to war despite overwhelming international disapproval. It is making the stock market drop big time. People are really nervous and nobody is buying expensive capital items such as ... (our digital printing machine)
