America?

[Xorbon]

No way! Detroit isn't worth that much!

For Detroit, I say we give the U.S. Jack Layton. Even swap. (He has some great suggestions for what can be done to bring peace to Afghanistan. )

[ThaddeusAlexander]

Well its a toss up. Alberta has alsmost twice the seats of Sask, and they all voted Conservative. But its nice scenery. Which is why Sask isn't much of a loss ... we lose about 3% of our GNP ... oh noes!

And NOW I wait for a poster from Regina to read this lol

Funny how a thread on whether America should be in civ ended up with a discussion on what Canada should trade for Detroit...

But we'll take Detroit. They have better hockey, baseball, and basketball teams than Toronto (at least they win). And then, I'll be right about Sid Meier being from Canada (sorry about the original mistake).

This thread was destined to go off-topic. The subject has been beaten to death in past threads.

Of course the U.S. should be in. It's fairly young, but it's had so much influence in such a short time. Even if you disagree, you should agree that the U.S. is the biggest single market for Civ, and as such, should be in the game.

(Yay! My first "on-topic" post on this thread! )

I'm convinced recycling old topics is just a way for ppl to sneak in off-topic jargon in to main Civ forums.

Excuse me, but were you at any point in your ravings going to make a point or produce an argument?

You first.

I was just wondering if I'm wasting my time with someone with a chip on their shoulder or if you had any actual arguments to make.

Hey, no fair! That was my thought before it was yours!

I got to the fourth insult and simply stopped for lack of any substantive information.

Uh huh.

Substantive information such as : the dates of accession of the U.K. and Eire to the E.E.C., the dates of treaties signed between the governments of the Irish Free State and the U.K., when the Irish Free State became the Republic of Eire, who proscribed the I.R.A. in the Irish Free State and when this was done....


You gave us such classics as:

Well, don't tell England and Ireland. They've been at war for over 100 years and we don't want to spoil it for them

And the substantive evidence for this remarkable 'fact' was what, exactly ?

You have done nothing but insult me

Not true. I took time going back through your posts, scanning and analysing your opinions, waiting to see if an argument (definition- proof: evidence: a reason or series of reasons offered or possible towards proof or inducement, et cetera...) might appear.

Had I just wanted to insult you rather than correct your varied misapprehensions and inaccuracies, it wouldn't have taken nearly as long.

You complain that I am wrong yet you fail to address any point of my argument (primarily acknowledging what my argument is in the first place).

You were wrong. What was your argument meant to be exactly ? Argument that is, as opposed to opinion.


There is a signal difference.

I have no problem with being wrong.

Now there's an opening... but no, I'll resist.

[padillah]

Since it seems impossible to be nice to you, I'll be blunt: shut up and go away.

I've apologised for offending you, I've tried to bow out civily. Fine you've won. Whatever, just shut up about it.

You succesfully proven to people I don't know that someone they will probably never meet knows nothing of a subject about which we will never speak.

I hope that does wonders for your ego.

Yay! Molly showed me up guys! I know nothing of a country I've never been to and never read about. WHAT A SHOCK!!

Happy? WIll you drop the assault now?

Jeeze. I'm sick of the insults and attitude. Fine you are the single most informed person of Irish decent in the world. Unfortunately I don't give a crap!

I didn't give a crap several days ago so I sure as heck don't care now.

What will it take to make you shut up? I will send you money if you will just drop this retarted assault against me. What did I do to you that made you this angry? Or do you act this superior on a general basis?

God in Heaven, take me away! Just SHUT UP!

Tom P.

To those whom this tirade is not directed I again apologize for having to be subjected to this. I thought it was over. Apparently Molly will continue to insult me for the rest of our time in these forums. Our best defense is to abandon this thread... Yeah! That's the ticket.

Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take OUR [SPAM THREAD]!

Careful, that movie is not factual and you may hurt some people's sensibilities if you keep quoting from it.


Oh, BTW...AHHHHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA!!!

Of all the times I've posted this your's is one of the few posts that actually made me "laugh out loud". I had the two people next to me ask what's so funny.

That was good.

[DrSpike]

Life expectancy of thread: low to very low.

[LordShiva]

Bring it! That's what they said on page 1.

[padillah]

Yeah! I dare ya to close this thread! I double dare you!!

You won't do it your too CHICKEN!

I'm assuming football was left out on purpose. I'd take the Argonauts over the Lions and give the points.
