    ear Thedrin. Your quotes from the begining of paragraph 1 to the end of it of that same paragrpah refering to Stalin state that "......describing a cold, paranoid, mass murderer man as charismatic would be quite controversial" it goes on to say that ".... and it would NOT be in Firaxis's interest to do this".
    :
    :
    : Continuing towards the end of the first paragrpah, you also state that "But I do CLAIM that the Charismatic Trait as defined by Firaxis is a suitable trait". Dont you see? What you stated at the begining of the first paragraph, and what you stated at the end of that exact same paragraph CONDRIDICT eachother.
    :
    :
    :Therefore, agreeing with an argument then disagreeing with it (in the same paragraph) leaves that paragrpah "Obselete" or "invalid", as to say that you have accepted both sides of the argument in Only ONE PARAGRAPH.
    :
    :
    :
    Doing this not only renders your OPINION OF THE DEBATE USELESS, since you have agreed with both points, but it also razes the question "why agree then disagree with the same argument?".
    :
    :
    :An Argument is when TWO or more people each with his or her own DIFFERENT points of view disscuss or in a better term "debate" thier opinions according to thier SINGLE DIFFERENT views.
    :
    :
    :So please, when starting an argument. Avoid disagreeing then agreing with the same argument. Since that MEANS that you are not ARGUING with TWO or more people but instead are arguing with yourself.
    :
    :
    :And someone who argues with his or herself, seem well a bit "incapaple" of arguing with other people. And from your PREVIOUS arguments I (in my opinion) know that you are not that stupid nor "incapable" of such arguments.
    :
    :
    :So if you tend to raise a "valid" point in a "valid" argument then dont agree then disagree with two sides of the same coin as to speak.
    :
    :
    :Now, that aside. Lets get to the issue of if Smiley Faces really are Happy. Hmmmmmmm, well first of all let me just say this: "If someone is smiling at you, would you think they were angry? or happy?".
    :
    :
    :Happy of course. (If your mum or girlfriend smiles at you when she is angry then please point them out) Because "Smiling" suggests "Happiness", and what I also noticed in your second paragrpah is when you stated that".......The white line in my manual actually goes closer to the angry faces...". Yet this to is wrong, since the white line is labeled: "Happiness Display", wouldn't you think that an arrow pointing to the ANGRY FACES, would actually say something like "Unhappiness Display" ????.
    :
    :
    :Somewhere also further down the line, I believe in your Ninth paragrpah. You yourself stated that "I offer as proof: If you play a game using the RANDOM PERSONALITIES....". That ALONE is enough to not even argue with the rest of that paragraph. Since OF COURSE GHANDI COULD BE A RUTHLESS KILLER, HELLO!!, ITS ALL RANDOM!!!
    :
    :
    :You have totally misunderstood the concept of TRAITS WHICH ARE MATCHED with those leaders in Civ4. As to say that you Argued that If I played a game with RANDOM PERSONALITIES that Ghandi might not be HIMSELF as so to speak.
    :
    :
    :Well it is over-obvious that this is possible. The point is that what does having RANDOM personalities have to do with STALIN BEING CHARISMATIC. Since I am sure Firaxis didnt just pick a TRAIT IDEA out of a black hat then appointed each trait to any RANDOM leader.
    :
    :
    :There had to be an actual REASON. And I am positive that it wasnt a RANDOM REASON, so therefor you have also argued something that isnt worthy of actually being a VALID point, into whether Stalin should have the CHARISMATIC TRAIT or NOT.
    :
    :
    :Well that about sums what I MYSELF wanted to argue with. The rest I will study over maybe on the week-ends.

    Thank you for replying, and more replies would be welcomed.

    P.S= IF I DONT REPLY TO ANY OTHER FOLLOWING ARGUEMENTS FOR A WHILE, PLZ DONT TAKE IT AS AN ISULT AS I WOULD MOST LIKELY BE AT SCHOOL DOING EXAMS OR SOMETHING.

      Sorry, I'm not swayed by any of your arguements. Responding would essentially mean repeating what I've already said. I will, however, make one amendment to my post:

      ... so it's entirely academic
      becomes:

      ... so its pointless
