Ok, listen ive been informed, that by calling me a nazi in any room other than the wasteland, you could get in trouble, and by sushi, i was refering to the chinese, so you took things out of context, hey we all do, youre forgiven. but calling me a nazi here is not allowed, so either edit your post and get rid of the nazi (nazee) word, or behold the power of complaints. because ive had enough.

You were refering to the chinese, by asking the question "what does sushi taste like"? Ok. Makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

I think you're mistaken though, I clearly called Slave_Master a nazi. And I didn't call you an infectious pus filled pile of poo either, way to take things out of context.

Umm didnt get the last part there....but the reason i said "what does sush taste like" is

1 sheer curiousity
2 i thought it was a chinese delicousy
3 to try and divert the all of the sudden bashing againsnt me because someone had a disagreement.

But you were still sliding off topic.

Guardian, i was trying to get back on topic without it seeming obvious, but it didnt work. and guardian, we both are off topic now.

Nah, the US plan would fail due to lacking infrastructure in my opinion. It' s electrical grid is far to vulnerable and it' s public transportation inadequate to be trully productive. Now why is that not a point on someone' s political agenda? Even without changing to a communist government it would help the nation. If I were a terrorist I' d fly my plain into one of your powerplants. Kaboom, and a quarter of your nation loses all power. Like I said: VULNERABLE.

Well is there anything else you would like to tell terrorists out there. J/K But seriously, why do you need to lay this out in a public, well online but still public place, when most americans probably know this.

Because I was curious why no one ever tried to fix that problem (at least not to my knowing). We' ve all known for years now that some of the US infrastructures aren' t really up to date (I' m not saying that it ain' t the case with other nations). It surely is a major drawback for a nation with a vast seize such as yours and it got proven once again some time ago with that blackout that left quite a lot of people without power. It was a malfunction somewhere, true. But consider the chaos and the trouble it would bring if one of those powerplants blow up, be it terrorist or not.

It just got me thinking, that' s all.

HOLY SHIT! did you use enough commas in that post? maybe you need to settle down with the unnecessary punctuation. you obviously didn't get a 98 in English class did you?

As for getting in trouble i am curious as to how that will happen. are the DAC mods going to call my mom? maybe come to my house and beat me up? sorry but the gestapo doesn't work in america, maybe you should take your fascist beliefs somewhere else.

China will never bee a superpower, the world would end before that could happen. And if they do so what, not like they can invade and take over the world or anything, they have jack shit for navy, and air force? bah cant call what they have an air force. The only way they could have a change would be to start shooten nukes off and by doing that every one who has nukes will start shooten theirs off and boom bye bye world.

Grrrgh, I don't see this level of complaining in the Self Defense thread. I've got an idea! Argue your points & defend them, don't come running for help. You are all big boys & girls, left to your own devices I'm sure that you can exchange of ideas & opinions. If the thread is going too terribly it will be redirected, allowed to flame out in the Wasteland, or locked.

Guys, don't call Soldier87 a nazi in any way or form. I've got my jackboots & riding crop ready to correct the next offender.

Soldier87, grow up & thicken that skin. State your argument & stick to it. There is no need to chasten or correct others in a thread that is the moderation team's job if it becomes necessary.

Going back to your original post Soldier87.

I heard someone bought a plot of land on the moon in a California courthouse.

SuperH · Post by **SuperH** » Sat Oct 11, 2003 3:47 am

No, there's international law saying that the moon cannot be bought or claimed by anyone on earth, at least for the moment. The us and the russkies agreed to it sometime during the space race. Maybe the chinese don't care though and are gonna claim it anyway? Forcing us to fight them in space?
I should hope so.

Tsk tsk, SuperH, don't you know the commies are always plotting a devilish plot against you? They could probably harm you using sugar canes, and you want to openly let them just, just barge in onto the moon and landscape the area with obvious commie mind controlling ray thinmagies? Think of your way of life next time.

Informed by whom? Your shoe? Stop trying to intimidate people with thinly veiled threats of defamation charges, since you obviously don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

To borrow (without intent of returning) a phrase from Roshambo, here's a free cluepon: Defamation = "Making false statements about another person that are heard by a third party". Since we were all calling you a nazi "to your face" (as close as we could on the internet), as opposed to saying it behind your back, that is in no way, shape, or form defamation.

Last time I heard about something like that was this guy selling land on Mars for twenty dollars an acre, I believe.

Slave, its the forum rules, if you flame someone, then your post may be deleted and if you continue, then you could be banned from the forum all together.

As for China, the USSR had a shit navy and air force too, until ww2's end. Then they rivaled and in some areas were better than the U.S. So China may go the same way if a sudden shift in power occured, like when England all of the sudden lost thier superiority over many nations. or worse, another world war. The same could happen to the U.S. and China, being having the largest military in the world, and nukes to back it up, as well as almost two billion people, might take the role of a superpower.

As for the moon, someday, it will be owned by a nation or many nations. Most likely the U.S. will have a big portion of it if not all of it. Same for mars, but just a portion.

I don't find it hard to believe you're naive enough to think we EVIL TUFF WASTERLAND PIRATES would be cowed into submission by your threats of a mod slapping our wrists, so okay. I generally keep the nazi stuff to the wasteland, anyway.

What's the point of having a moonbase? The only thing I can think of is to put a hell of a lot of nuclear silos up there. Too bad that's "illegal" by one of those fucking nuclear arms treaties that we need to pull out of.

Or perhaps a research center, or we might discover a new resource up there, or perhaps the human population on Earth exceeds the carrying capacity so we will need to move. Or like on starship troopers, a base of operations to shoot down those damn dirty bug meteors.

perhaps the human population on Earth exceeds the carrying capacity so we will need to move.

Once it gets anywhere near that, there will be a plague, a war, etc, anything that will decrease the population drastically.

Or like on starship troopers, a base of operations to shoot down those damn dirty bug meteors.

I won't even dignify that with a response.

Soldier87 · Post by **Soldier87** » Sat Oct 11, 2003 6:01 am

It was a joke, or did you actually take that seriously? But, that could happen with a forward missle base used to strike out near earth asteroids or ones that will colide with us.
