What's the modern rationale for mandatory conscription in Finland? It's always confused me, as it does not strike me as if mandatory conscription is useful in situations besides, say, Israel. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I believe each represents the presence or absence of certain antigens. There are four blood types, not including Rh factor and the obscure Bombay type: AB A B O People cannot receive blood with antigens theirs does not have. O represents the absence of such antigens, and AB represents the presence of both A and B antigens. Thus AB blood types can receive blood from any donor, but only give blood to other ABs; whereas O blood can be received by anyone, but type O receptors can only receive blood from type O donors. Rhesus factor I'm not so sure about, but I think that Rh- can only receive Rh- blood, whereas Rh+s can receive both Rh+ and Rh-. IANAD, though, so don't act on this knowledge. Blood type is inherited genetically; blood type is divided in Canada (O/A/B/AB) 46/42/9/3 per hundred. This may not be entirely accurate, but hey.

I'm sorry, Sir David. I'll admit that particular comparison was a bit over the top. Lord of Evil, would you stop being so black-and-white about things? People can believe that the US has its flaws without hating it. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

It would have been the blueprint for World War I if it weren't for the fact that the other powers of Europe didn't take either Japan or Russia seriously. They ignored the war, and just chalked up the Russian loss to Nicholas II's incompotence -- after all, to be beaten that badly by an Asian nation... Those that took careful notes at the various naval and land battles were ignored in Europe, as a European conflict naturally could never imitate one between Japan and Russia. History proved them wrong, of course. But that's another story entirely. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

So wait, you can shut down a topic which offends you for any reason whatsoever and you won't even get punished for it? Woohoo! Sir David's political viewpoints are incompatible with mine, but I believe he's basically a good and fair person. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I love that kind of attitude, Sir David. If the facts don't support your political viewpoint, they must not be facts; they must be propaganda. Remind you of anyone? Anyone with big ambitions, big plans, and a little moustache? -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

What he did was wrong, ef. He was not banned so this topic would die; he was banned because he behaved like a terrorist in trying to get it closed. It would be distasteful in the extreme to kill the topic entirely just because he attacked it in such a way. He took offense to it, but he admitted he had no logical basis to do so, so he attacked it using spam and illogic. He wasn't posting to be 'most unusual', he was posting because he decided that he found a factual topic against his political skew. His methods were unjustified and uncivilized. So get off the high horse. Motrax didn't martyr himself to save us from an offensive topic, he behaved like a terrorist to shut down a discussion whose facts he felt were against his political viewpoint. There is a difference, and it is a grave one. We did not judge and punish him for having limits; we wouldn't have judged and punished him for objecting to the topic using any kind of logic or civility. We judged and punished him, ef, for acting in an intensely offensive fashion when those limits were crossed. If he is unwilling to participate in civilized discussion and will make every possible attempt to destroy it if he feels offensive, he has no reason to be on a board where people are free to have offensive opinions. Thank you. [ Sunday, July 06, 2003 16:41: Message edited by: General Custer ] -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Imperial era? Hm. Aizo, the birthplace of the Empire, and the most historically well-rooted continent. Pralgad, the current seat of the Empire. Most likely to the north of Valorim. Vantanas, a hell of jungles and deserts settled by humans only for its material wealth, and even then only near the coast. Relatively small. Valorim, a continent relatively recently settled. Vantanas is, by the description, most likely equatorial. Valorim is, given the climate, probably in the northern hemisphere. Pralgad is the only continent which would have any business being north of Valorim, and Blackcrag was DEFINITELY guarding something important; the first continent being linked to the last one by land makes no sense. This would likely mean that Aizo is pretty large -- makes sense, given what we know about the Empire -- and primarily in the southern hemisphere, as there's no sense in having a world without any southern hemispheric landmass  -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

Sir Motrax, what is wrong with you? You've made a completely illegal attempt to destroy a topic because it takes a less reverent view of the US than you. You seriously need to be banned for this. Here's why: quote:The irony here is that I had a little bit of respect for you before. Now I know that you're nothing but another idiotic, intolerant neocon blowhard, and you need to go somewhere far away and die. For the record, none of us did anything this ridiculously offensive to any of your little flag-waving parties. I wouldn't condone doing so even now, as I happen to respect the fact that this is a corporate message board being paid for out of Jeff Vogel's pocket, and its bandwidth and patronage are not resources for a little political pissing match. God, you're such a hypocrite, you know that? You accuse us of being immature, and you turn around and do this. And on top of all that, you have the gall to turn around and demand that a moderator lock the topic because you've grown tired of spamming it? God almighty, man. Have fun outside of SW.

Varelse is Grenada, an island-nation and former plantation colony of Britain. Upon gaining commonwealth status in 1967, the nation elected a socialist leader, who quickly made himself into a one-man state. His reforms did a great deal of good to the Grenadan economy, but the Reagan administration decried the Carribean's being a 'communist lake'. The US sprang into action, falsely claiming that American medical students were endangered, the Organization of East Carribean States -- of which Grenada was an active member -- had asked the US to intervene, and that Grenada was constructing an airbase to house Soviet aircraft. Acting against the wishes of the UN and the charter of the OAS, the US invaded in 1983; fighting stopped in a week, and the forces sent to Grenada were more disproportionately well-decorated in its wake than any other expeditionary force in American history (most reports agree that more soldiers were decorated than set foot on the island). Reports of Geneva convention violations went uninvestigated, and the 'elected' government quickly backslid into a totalitarian mess -- but a capitalist totalitarian mess. Neoconservatives still consider Grenada a great moral victory for the US, and it's obviously reminiscient of other, more recent unilateral actions. _files/gj-map.gif) [ Saturday, July 05, 2003 18:38: Message edited by: General Custer ] -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

"Anti-americans" is a rather ignorant slur term. Seems to call upon diatribes against the left and foreign nations which stood in our way in crushing a dictatorship and replacing it with... a military overlordship. What did the French do for us, anyway? Besides, you know, being the only reason America isn't part of the Commonwealth. And being the only reason New England isn't Canadian soil. And giving us what amounts to the symbol of our country. But we saved them from the Nazis -- who were created singlehandedly by our bungling intervention in the first war -- and don't they owe us for that? Damn ingrateful frenchmen. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

If you're searching for something in particular, use some kind of filesharing client. If you're not looking for anything in particular, use some kind of filesharing client. You typically find anime in mpg or avi format, being as how gif understandably lacks any sort of sound :P Oh, and for legal purposes, disclaimer: I'm assuming anything which he's searching for or finds is in the public domain. Does that help? -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I chose Thissa because he has the most points to redistribute. I chose BoA because I was really not impressed by the original Geneforge. 'Ermarian'? From context, the name of the Exile world, right? Where the devil did that name come from, though?  I consider myself a leftist, yeah. Pratchett and Adams are both all right, but their fans make me hold a grudge against the both of them. You misdid AYBABTU, by the way -- and even violated the English language unintentionally doing so! Proper phrasing is 'to whom are all your base belong', I'd think. Three cheers for Alcritas. Hmmm. The other answers must remain a secret.  -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |
