2. You're saying we're the same as you are because people are pigs. NO I dissagree! We did make mistakes in tha past but the political stand Germany&France took on the Iraq issue is the right one and that is that.
ooooOOOOooooh, im so glad you're "right." Is god on your side too? god was also on the cananites side, the egyptians, the mohamadians, the jews, the eastern orthodox, and danm near everyone else whom was "right." Congratulations on being "right."

About life forms that are resistant to radiation... yes that is a valid point we don't know how radiation will affect other life forms but yopu gotta admit that if you're something like 10 light years from this excplosion and you get 100x the dosage you get at an H-bomb rexplosion... well that can't be good for anything. I think its only a function of the distance.
You know, the scariest thing is that if most of the world is wiped out, we probably have the technology to breed the human race back to health, even with very little stock. The problem is that the people whom survive would be those who spend their time in bunkers like NORAD, so the future generations of the human race would be made up entirely from CAREER GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. Career MILITARY employees, if being government wasnt bad enough.

unfortuneatly, the military tends to be a vicious cycle of stupididy, much like the vicious circle of poverty, but slightly different. higher ranks are often full of dipsticks, so the smart people dont re-enlist. so only morons advance, thus perpetuating the cycle.

So there we have it. the future of SE4 style galactic combat will be fought out by inbred military morons, vs giant radioactive cockroaches. glorious.

Aye, but for some damn reason, The milky way, just like the rest of the universe is apparently dispersing rather than being sucked into the hugh black hole at the core of our galaxy.

Pretty "soon", the Magellenic clouds and the milky way galaxies will collide, creating one huge galaxy that will still keep dispersing.

Fyron you have no clue what we're talking about but that was to be expected.
That is an extremely ignorant and naive statement. Too bad that long post I had written disappeared. Oh well. Return to your fantasy world.

This is exactly what I was talking about JurijD. You are stereotyping people here and reading what you want to read, not necessarily what was posted.

alright, i was partially joking, and partially basing the statement on what all my friends from the armed forces tell me, so dont take it personally. So forgive me for repeating, I will take your request as an honest search for explaination due to my poor verbalization, rather than incredulity.

1 - military enlistees enter the armed forces for a tour of duty.

2 - short 5-year tour of duty ends, smart enlistees decide that its a bunch of bull**** and decide to go make something else of their life

3 - not-so-smart enlistees re-enlist, and go on to become officers

4 - future smart generations of enlistees see that only morons have made it through to the top ranks, and leave after their first tour, again leaving only the morons to reinslist

5 - cycle repeats ad-nauseam (much like the vicious circle of poverty, where poverty leads to fewer opportunities which leads to more poverty - a well known academic sociological concept)

6 - radiation from a black hole wipes out all the human population, save those senior military people (distilled from generations of moron re-enlistees) whom are in deep bunkers, such as NORAD

7 - with limited gene stock and advanced technology, we repopulate the world with inbred incompetants

8 - elsewhere in the universe, giant mutant radioactive cockroaches are immune to sterilization from blackhole radiation, and somehow achieve spaceflight.

9 - your race options for SE4 suddenly look alot less apealing.
