Will he get 40 vigins? Or was that vegans?

No, it was 40 virginians, with George Washington right up there at the front.

But seriously. This is bad. A death sentance is bad in it self of course, but hanging Saddam means one more martyr and that is not a good thing for the situation in Iraq.

Being of the military sort, I'll take that chance. Can't wait for the video. Hope it was slow.

Jan 1 2007 tithe...

What's the deal with all this tithing?

I'm too new to know, I suppose.

AH, the Great and Glorious Thread suggests 10% of one's posts should be made here - i.e., tithe... actually, its sort of a way of "checking in" with the community to let them know we are still with them...

It wasn't... A proper hanging, over in a second. Better death than he gave to all his victims, but that's the whole point: if we have to apply the ultimate sanction, make it clean and quick. We have to be better than the bad guys...

Robert, what machine are you interested in? I myself would like to get away from windows but I am not willing to give up WITP.

You can run WitP on a Mac using a windows emulator. Someone mentioned that it works nicely on the forum a while back.

So you think.....

They're actually a super-secret suicide unit. They'll be operational sometime in 1944.

Yeah, a worse situation in Iraq sure works for you. But I think the civilians in Iraq would not agree with you. It's easy to take a chance when it has no effect on you at all.

More destruction in Iraq means mainly more civilians killed. Though thankfully not any Western civilians of course. Cause that's the ones we count.

Guys, we have tried to avoid posting political discussions here as they tend to be too divisive and lead to hard feelings.

Political opinions DO tend to leak out (and Mike IS facing going to Iraq again (iirc) so his feelings have poked through), but let's try to keep them (political opinions) to a minimum.

We now return to out regular banter...

Was John Lennon a penguin?

Edit: so that reference isn't quite so vague: It sounds like something John Lennon would say.

Question gentlemen. Now that we have fixed my son's computer, he wants to start WITP He has another 10 days off). Where is a good place to look on the forum to plan a first Japanese turn. I have not done this yet and finding it a little intimidating.

Bruce, the way I did it was to get a sturdy pad and start taking notes. I've got some OOBs for the Japanese at the start of the game on spreadsheets. They're from somewhere around version 1.4-1.5 but they'll be close. Let me know if you'd like them.

Please, may I have them?

Don't forget to scream like a girl while you run. It helps.
