I don´t really see your point... your teachers are amazed by... nothing really impressive? Well, here we are to help you with good criticism! But the teacher´s way of behave seems quite polite, I wouldn´t really be annoyed by that...

NP, I understood what you meant, guys.  

AMerican Go4t S0cietY!!!!11!

There's always more than one story, don't believe everything you're told by the government or the media, or anyone else with an agenda. Like me.  

In the end, people will believe what they want to, I just point out there's more than one side to the story.

That´s the point... you believe what you want, like me. I have also interviews of people who was there saying that the chem weapons were going to be used, but I don´t post them here, because I don´t think it could change nobody´s mind (In fact, I don´t think that nobody would care)

Bob: I don´t remember that history of the German officer, and I am quite expert in the WWII. What I do remember is a meeting between Franco and Hitler in Hendaya (Spanish-French boarder), which finished in a big failure because Franco said Hitler that Spain was not able to aid them propperly. I know that Hitler even planned to take Gibraltar, with the spanish permission or not, they had even a reproduction of the british fortress in somewhere in Germany, so the German special forces could started practising.

But Hitler again received a negative answer by Franco, and it was in Hitler´s mind to invade Spain. I agree with you that not closing the Mediterranean with the conquest of Gibraltar was a huge tactical mistake.

Eeer... I extracted it cuting and pasting screens, maybe there left some frames. Also, the frame that when he´s standing is shown after the loop, which makes it less smoother. Anyway, it was just a resource if anybody wants it...  :'(  :'(  :'(

Annie... that´s unfair... I could look for centenars of websites giving credibility, and evidences, that the moster of the Loch Ness exist. And we do know that it doesn´t. Conclussion: If you google for something, you´ll find a lot of evidences of that. Assuming that, we will never know if Saddam was powerfull enough or not, it is just a matter of the oppinion you had before the conflict.

This is boring. The non-war have showed their oppinions. The yes-to-war, also. So, why going with this discussion?

It is the flashback walk animation... IMO, it can work as a template for many characters, PM me if you can´t use it for the "gifizication".

Spain didn´t joined because it couldn´t... Remember that it just came form the civil war (1936-39). Anyway... But I said that Spain AIDED, sending the "blue division" to Russia.

A friend of my grandpa fighted in that group, and he told me amazing stories of the war in Russia, I specially like the battle of Stalingrad. I love the part when he said that he once looked over the trench and he saw a tracer bullet going directly to where he was. He never looked again...

I also remember histories about how cruel was the winter in Russia, and how expensive they sold the coffee to the german officers.

But I have more histories... The father of one of my nuns blew his hand with a granade, in a battle against the Fascist in the civil war (I would like to tell a tale of heroism, but the granade was his... ). Another one was killed in a fascist prison. An uncle of my grandpa was half japanese and he fighted with a russian fighter in the civil war. When the war ended, he was exiliated to the US, where the only way to avoid prison after Pearl Harbour (He was half-japanese and an inmigrant from the fascist Spain) was to instruct newbie pilots. His plane was shoot down over the Adriatic in 1944...

Svastika used by Finnish Air Forces (and still used today by some branches of our army) had nothing to do with German National Socialist symbols. Then again, as you were just kidding you probably already knew that.

I'm not Anti-American. I've got family in The States. I am, however, against the foreign policy U.S. has been practicing this -and most of the previous- century. I'm also worried and sceptical towards current US domestic policies.

My North American family pretty much shares the same political views than me.

The fact that Germany and Finland were allies during the war is a fact. Anyway, I don´t judge States, that´s your speciallity... in addition, Spain was also an Ally of the Nazis wasn´t it?  

Thanks for making me clear that you are not an irrational anti-american. Now, if you don´t like what happens there, become a U.S. citizen and vote and deffend the political choice you want.

No...  I didn´t know that or the worm...

Well SSH... I would agree with the antiamerican statement that US only invades the countries he is interested in, avoiding some others ruled by dictators, such some of the Black-Africa countries (Nigeria, Sierra Leona, Cote D´Ivory, Liberia...).

That countries do not have nukes.

But the problem is that many people complain when US attacks.

The funny thing is that,when they attack, they complain even more.

I remember that the day after the attack on Iraq 3,000 heads appeared in a Square of the Capital of Sierra Leona, but nobody cared... Seems that only count the deaths caused by the US bombs, that makes me feel that there poeple who hides themselves behind the "NOT FOR WAR" banners, which really mean is "NOT TO THE U.S."

And that´s really sad because mixtured in that mass of people who is antiamerican and say "Not for war", there are a lot of people who don´t really like the war, and it´s difficult to differenciate them.

That´s why I take sometimes this deffensive attitude, because hidden in a disguise of pacifism and good intentions there are sometimes "evil" intentions.

Of course, I am not saying that some of the AGSers belong to this group...  

I think you should put a little movement to the chest... that would remove the "robot walk" effect, IMO...

Well... Maybe that post before was too "heavy"... I just wanted to say that judging countries is easy... "americans do bad things, they´re evil"

But that who is free of sin, throw the first stone... All the countries behaved terribly when they ruled the Earth, Romans, Greeks, Spanish, Brits...

So... can we really judge a country? I think we can´t.

Well... I´ve finished, you all can start crushing me.

NOW!

But Makri does not attack the Bush administration... he says... "U.S."

You can think he´s made a slight unintentioned mistake... well, I can´t be sure, but I think that Makri is just another case of the new fashion who crosses Europe... I hate the U.S.!

You are awfully quick to dismiss everyone who disagree with you as "fashion followers". Maybe you should wake up and realize that most people have good reasons for their opinions. Or are you defending U.S. just because you think it's cool and makes you different?

"U.S. word" naturally stands for the administration - that's what Barcik ment in his post and that's where I replied. I forgive you for your mistake.

I don´t think that I was on a mistake. Anyway, let me explain the thoughts of many of the people who is following this fashioned wave of antiamericanism.

U.S. helped Pinochet.
U.S. armed Iran.
U.S. armed Noriega, and Saddam, and after that, they invent lies to make war against them and earn money.
U.S. help the Jewish, who have stolen the land to the poor Palestinians.
U.S. avoid to war real dictators, because they´re evil and they must be have trats with them.

Well... so, for this antiamericans, no matter which administration rules U.S. they will always look to their actions with unconfidence.

I don´t know if that´s your case, but, in my country, this people finally agree with the enemies of U.S., and they finally celebrate actions against the U.S. or their interests, such as Palestine terrorism or the 11th of September.

I am not saying that you are one of that, but I must face everyday people who says "I was terribly happy when the towers collapsed, they had it deserved", that´s why I´m so sick when I see any expression that reminds me this.

And excuse me man, but you say that you don´t believe the words of Bush when he says they got Saddam, you remind me a lot to that people who really sicks me.

Anyway, I suppose you were jocking... And of course you have the right to judge the U.S., as a Finnish, a country with a noble recent history...


Mmm... a finnish fighter... look at that cross... maybe Finnish don´t should really judge the U.S...

Just kidding  

But Makri does not attack the Bush administration... he says... "U.S."

You can think he´s made a slight unintentioned mistake... well, I can´t be sure, but I think that Makri is just another case of the new fashion who crosses Europe... I hate the U.S.!

I think that to disagree with a bold fact such as Saddam's capture is a sure sign of a person being prejudiced against the US' word.

Wouldn't anyone in their right mind be prejudiced against U.S. word?

Who are you to say who is in the right mind or not Makri? Are you God? If so, make me know, I´ll try to treat you with the respect that a divinity with the overwhelming power of knowing what is good and what is evil.  

Don´t say that everyone who doesn´t have prejudices against the U.S. is mad, you´re insulting a lot of american AGSers.  

So Barcik, after pasting someone's detailed and thought-provoking theory on the current events, you simply want to insult those who are skeptical?


I believe it is the real Saddam, regardless of explaination, but to call someone bias is to call someone "someone else".

Where is the insult?  

Like Damien said, I too think it's Terra.  In the Wing Commander games the humans were called Terrans (from Earth?)

Dunno ...

I liked Tierra better ... I don't much like words like Interactive, Productions, or Development in company names.  They probably got sick of people saying, "Ha ... like Sierra ... that's clever!!"  God knows I'd get sick of that pretty darn quick!

])]v[

And Terrans is also the name for the humans in Starcraft...

I think that Terra is a latin name, and Gaia was "earth" for the ancent greeks. Isaac Asimov used "Gaia" for a planet who lived as a "solo" entity in their science fiction "Foundation", and the scientists are used the name "gaia"  for explaining the behave of a planet as a "only" organisms, with its diseases, their simbiosis, their viruses...

A nice example of how people put names.

Please, if I´ve given unexact data, make me know...

Tierra is Earth is Spanish, while Terra is in Catalan (I think Terra is Earth also in Italian, coming from the latin word Terra).

And Tierra works for the earth you can catch with your hands, and the Earth, as a planet.

So, that´s why I liked the Tierra name, because it sounded like "Sierra", which is also the spanish name for "mountain".

[WMD's]

Now this is all very good and well, but two things:

2) where are the WMD's?

Also, how on earth did they do this DNA test? Where would the US troops have got a sample of Saddam's DNA from previously to test it against?

Let´s hope that Saddam himself reveals where the WMD´s are, if they exist, so, we can still have a "little" confidence in the CIA...

And about the DNA... I asked that to myself before, and I think that they must have a lot of DNA of him, razors in their palaces, during the official visits... anyway, they have the bodies of their two sons, so, a reliable DNA test can be made.

EDIT: which makes me feel strange... Can many agencies be recollecting people´s dna in secrecy? brrrr...  

And Aznar!
