I agree with Silver... I don't want more than one wife, and I sure as hell dont want 20 kids! That sounds like a nightmare if you ask me.

I agree with you there that cost effectiveness does have a huge impact on it. But sure if you want to throw out your estimate I'll throw out mine ;)

Also I was talking about 100% change not just a portion of our energy needs, but meh you obviously have your own opinion and I have mine. I will admit my 100 years was out of my ass but the point is we are a long ways from being completely solar for all our needs.

Besides if Opec was smart they'd keep the oil cost just low enough to not give an incentive to purse other means as you pointed out cost effectiveness drives a lot of decisions.

No way man! You show me the technology and capabilities to reach that level in 20-30 years... Give me some kind of material fact other than your opinion :)

USA has a lot of oil, natural gas, and coal. We are the 3rd largest produce of crude in the wold and we are not allowed to tap into all our sources for oil.

The world cost of oil is artificially driven up by cutting supply.

Don't get me wrong I'd love clean energy somehow but with our current technology oil is much better. We are probably 100 years from making a good enough solar or other power sources up to par and more of an option, large scale.

I find that the BBC is more reliable than any american news station. American news stations are less than attractive if you want the real news/truth without a hidden agenda.

I'm just glad the $787 billion stimulus worked and created jobs...

I'm also glad he gave hundreds of millions of dollars to shady solar companies that move out of the country and go bankrupt.

I'm also glad that his reckless spending programs are causing massive deficits.

I'm also glad he let the missile defense in europe go.

I'm also glad that he won't let us put a pipeline in from canada, canada please sell us your oil we want it!

I'd play it, but I'd like to see one change:

Once your country is killed you're out of the game and cannot restart until the round is over, the round is over when one side kills everyone on the other side or a pre-determined time limit has been reached.

That way it really is winner take all!

However, when I said "drink water in isolation", I meant without drinking or eating anything else. Gatorade's done an awfully good job of marketing if you think the only way to get electrolytes is to drink their product.

Gatoraid is only needed if you're doing high intensity activity otherwise it is additional calories (sugar) that you just don't need normally. Drinking water is key, and most americans do not drink enough water.

But you guys are losing focus on the topic... The topic is about how idiotic the EU is regarding this.

So GE is charged payroll taxes, unemployment taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, GE employees pay the same taxes using GE generated dollars. They create jobs, help drive the economy.

GE is one of the top investors in Green Energy and Medical advancement.

To start working on making it fair, you will need to start doing all the things on this short and not complete list of things they do.

Not that I am a GE cheerleader, I wish the stock would go up so my dividends were greater. But it does bother me to come across people who seemingly don't understand what it means to risk your, your families, certainly your children's welfare to create and run a company.

Risk has greater reward. Otherwise everyone would do it.

I should let this thread go, it's only going to get under my skin......

How is GE any different than any other company?

I pay income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes.... the list keeps going but they don't have to? Seems a bit out of wack aye?

In my opinion everyone owes taxes. For GE to get out of paying taxes is not fair. If I pay taxes, they should too. Just because they are big doesn't mean they don't have to pay taxes.

GE does employ a lot of people in the US, however they employ way more outside the US. GE is only a pseudo american company anymore. Right now they are exploding in south america.

Make no mistake our tax code is the worst in the world when it comes to developed countries.

General Electric, one of the largest corporations in America, filed a whopping 57,000-page federal tax return earlier this year but didn't pay taxes on $14 billion in profits. The return, which was filed electronically, would have been 19 feet high if printed out and stacked....

Well it's not the police's job to kill any tag jumper who wants to enter a war. Like for instance lets say some SoF members jumped to LCN to fight that wouldn't be the police's issue. What is thier issue in this case was the tag jumping from:

Sanct --> KSF --> LCN

That was really the issue. We could have killed them before they had the chance to go to LCN and fight, but we didn't out of kindness and respect for the players who said they didn't want to war and wanted to net. We showed grace. They showed dishonor.

Our panties got in a ruffle because of the blatant lie and deception they pulled on not only PDM but KSF too. Because I don't believe KSF knew they would do that, I don't hold any ill-will towards KSF just a slight bit of disappointment.

I'd be much happier if they just said "we didn't know they would do that and we don't want to ruin our netgaining this set to kill them" even as selfish as that is the honesty would go a long way with me.

What pang says is cut and dry killa. I'd venture to say though we wouldn't want to hit KSF, no reason to.

It is sorted out now, but you must understand that when you guys took them on you assumed responsibility for them.

When someone puts their word on something it should mean something. Maybe next time your word is worth less? Who knows, but one thing is for sure you didn't act as you said you would. End of story.

Also LCN withdrew its trade pacts with our players who were to receive it before we even hit LCN. That doesn't sound like "We weren't given the opportunity to enter. It's until you guys hit us ;)."

You were going to hit us either way, just admit it :)
