Given enough time, anything can be justified.Ajax_the_Great1 wrote:
Seeing all these war posts in here made me curious. Do you need to be attacked personally? Do you just need to know that they will attack? Do you feel that war is never justified? I'll post later how I feel.
P.S. Please keep Iraq out of this. I want it to be more philosophical. I'm sick of hearing people bitch about that war.
For example; The US fighting Germany during WWII when it was Japan that attacked the US. I could be wrong about Germans not first attacking the US (namely cargo ships). Not sure.
The embargoes placed on Japan by the US and the UK instigated the attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan therefore could justify its declaration of war. Perhaps it was a war of survival for Japan. They were running out of natural resources and were trying to get it from China by force, upsetting the US and UK.
Luke 14:31
666 represents the pinnacle of humanity. The number of mankind is 6. Any number or anything stated in succession three times means of the greatest or upmost importance. In other words 666 will represent the best mankind can and will do before the end.Hellogoodsir wrote:

It's unrealistic to think that countries or nations should be get this and that because they have suffered over something in the past or to think that something "taken" from them should be given back. Likewise it is unrealistic to thinks its "unfair" when a governing body like the U.N. signed over Palestinian land over to the Jews. Not that it would be unusual for those Palestinians to fight for the land they lived in. It seems perfectly legit to me for a defending force to do its job.
I dont want to sound unsympathetic to both the Palestinians and Israel, but war is war. Israel as it is today is not what it is because of a major handout. Yes, they were "given" a piece of land by the U.N. after WWII, but, they had to fight for it and it was no easy task.
I always say that the strong will do what they will and will prevail... for a little while. Not that its to say that the best or those who are good will get the land to themselves. It seems that all land regions underego some form of change culturally and racially, and these changes seem to take hundreds of years.
Palestine as its now called is no exception. If i had to guess I would say that as long as people live in that region, there will be a variation of what religion or culture controls it. Although there has been in the past a mix of all three religions living together in peace at different times in the past; the question at hand is how long will the current power remain in power?
Everyone has their opinion of who or what religion should be in control. And for what, simply for the sake of peace, economics, etc?

First of all, Hitler was defeated by his own ignorance. He didn't learn anything from Napoleons defeat from the Russian winter that wiped out most of his German troops.
2nd, Hitler might have won if he left alone the Brits, the Russians and the continent of Africa alone and staked his claim on western europe that he conquered. The Americans and Brits would have left him alone and Russia too until Htler figured out the Bomb, then everyones would have been screwed.
3rd, Russia was hardly armed with anything and in most cases didn't have enough rifles for each "soldier".
4th, The important thing to remember about the western allies, is that they were mainly seen as liberators of Europe and Africa.
Anyone who says the Brits won the war is hugely mistaken. More accurately, they survived the war. They were practically starving to death because of the u-boats blocking and intercepting their food shipments from the allies.

I tend to think most people confuse racism with culturalism. Thats what I call it when people disagree with someone elses mannerisms, dress style, etc. Its probably not the right word, but it seems that people are not that antagonistic against color, but rather against that persons actions, lack of education etc and having a bias towards an entire race because of disagreable mannerisms.Konfusion0 wrote:
In modern society, racism is stereotypically seen as the discrimination of white people against black people. While, however, the same thing goes in reverse too, if discussed the white person will often be seen as the offender without any further thought. Does this not also count as racism? Furthermore, is it not racist of black people to tag white people with "whitey" and other similar degrading nicknames?
It seems to me, that whenever a major problem is addressed in modern society, everyone overdoes it, and it ends up reversing.
What do you think?
I think racism is not as strong as it has been in the past. It seems "culturalism" has remained consitent as a form of bias.
Finally, Thank you. This is what I am talking about.HeavyMetalDave wrote:
I think one of the problems is people start to block out friendly voices, you hear so many over and over that you ignore requests, maybe they are concentrating on something else.
If it would be possible to lower those voice requests without changing the game effect sound level, the game would be more playable. patch 1.42 anyone?
I am against homosexuality because I dont understand how its possible to want sexual intimacy with someone of the same sex. It seems unnatural and therefore an invention (see note 1).
I dont hate homosexuals, but I, a democratic voter, wont approve of homosexuals raising children unless there is a study that shows how a majority of children raised by homosexuals become "upstanding", law-abiding, "independent" citizens.
Even if I did approve of homosexuals raising children, it wouldn't mean that I would approve of their sexual lifestyle. Which raises the question; "If homosexuals are allowed to raise children, does that mean their lifestyle is approved of by the govt. and society?"
With that said, many people in the U.S. are becoming more and more accepting of the lifestyles of others that almost makes this debate obsolete.

I won't buy 2142 till a patch is released for BF2 that allows a user to manipulate the modulation of in game characer sounds without altering the environment sounds.
There is nothing worse than hearing "i need a medic" 40 times when your trying to hear the footsteps of an enemy nearby.

The extensions cables are approximately 3.5 meters. I think I bought 10-12 ft. cables, I'll have to check them when I go home for the weekend. Nevertheless, I haven't noticed any problems with signal strength.max wrote:
hmm, that works? most pc cables loose signal strength after a good meter or so. how far is you pc away from you then?Pleiam wrote:

Has anyone been a part of or seen two APC's filled with 5 engineers a piece and been indestructible?
Especially at Karkand (Hotel), since many armour users like to fire into the spawn zones.

1. Have a separate modulator for the in-game character voices.
2. Have a "fail-safe" to prevent accidental team switching. I know sometimes when I go to click on the Squad tab, I hit the other team tab. Its really annoying. The squad and team tabs should be spaced farther apart.
By in-game character sounds, I am talking about when you hear "I'm out of ammo" or "We've lost control of an outpost" etc. I find those sounds to be taking over the other sounds that are more necessary such as someone running behind you or someone climbing a ladder when your on a roof.

Like my faith and the faith of others, miracles are the foundation of their faith. Not neccesarily is their faith built on the basis of scientific fact. Thats why they call it faith and not fact. I suppose even some facts have to be taken with some faith. That reminds me of the Israelites leaving Egyptian bondage; they saw miracle after miracle and yet still complained against God (see Exodus 7-19). Even my faith has a record of the differing views in the world (see I Corinthians 1:17-18). Everyone has a faith. Whether it is in Darwin, God, their own hand-made god, in the Stock market, their combustion engine they drive every day, or in some scientific "fact". Even a declared "fact" has to be taken on faith unless you do the math yourself and even then your assuming that your fallible instruments or brain patterns have computed a factual statement. All these posts I read that inlcude some published scientific fact are believed by those who put their trust in the scientist that published them. I think that pretty much sums up the everyday use of faith by everyone. Now as far as spiritual faith...afewje wrote:
Havent u ever doubted your faith? with science proving more and more things like the big bang theory and finding more and more evidence its hard not to quesiton your faith. What if God or whoever you believe in isnt real what if u die u die thats it, its over no nothing for the rest of eternity. So iunno i would like to know what you guys think. It would be a shame for all the people in the world to have a crummy life then noting forever. makes you think...
I believe my God is the Creator, the Deliverer, the Redeemer (see Isaiah 9:6). He is proven by his creation (see Psalm 19:1).
As for the sufferings, and tragedies endured by everyone on this planet. There is comfort for those who put their trust in the Saviour (see Romans 8:18).
The Saviour himself said of those that have not seen him in his resurrected body (see St. John 20:29-31).

My problem was that when i logged into Gamespy's web site it only showed two ids that I signed up with and not the one I use when I play BF2. Somehow I was able to go into my Gamespy account using the email I signed up with and edited the account name to my BF2 id.
Now my question is, When you log into BF2 shouldn't there be unlocks available at your BFHQ?
Edit: This link answers my question about Euro unlocks http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=16355

Here is a question, whether stupid or not. How many unlocks should a user have at the First Sergeant rank assuming they have Special Forces ed? I have all the weapons except L96A1 and P90 at First Sergeant and have tried playing a couple of rounds in SF to see if these unlocks are available to me.
Also, it might help for complicated people like me to have a list of how many weapons a user should have available at their rank, with or without SF.
I know UBAR gives a list of when unlocks are available, but I have read from others that you only get double unlocks w/ SF when you reach a certain rank.

24/7 Lost Soulz Ranked Server 209.40.97.28 should be added to EA's list of servers to drop for ranking.
I was banned not during the game but after I left from slaughtering the clan members in a fair fight. I received the Good Conduct medal while playing so I know it was ranked. EA should do something about ADMIN abuse. Also I joined when they were playing Karkand and somehow they got on top of the hotel where there is no ladder. Cheaters.
The thought occured to me to try and alter my IP address into rotating numbers so I can join their server and kill the admins many times destroying their stats like they have by banning me but then I would be just like them. Bunch of punks.
Here is a list of punks I ran across so far either by their whining or tk's: Wayne117, cim69boca, Barbareks.
One time I was Commander and winning and Barbareks was on my team and he tked me twice. I then logged in as a different username and tked him with a shotgun to the face as he was running towards me.
