A Land Far Away

Greed is not the problem. It is the government trying to appease two groups (corporations and union / blue collar voters) with a solution that hurts both. That is to restrict labor while allowing transfering of production to foriegn countries. The same greed that exists today had the opposite effect...

OK, But what about companies that leave the country? Are they to blame as well? How do they compete with companies that use cheap overseas labor with no environmental or saftey protections (CHINA)? Or what about small companies in the US that can't find labor? Even if you employed all of the current...

http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=421 Here is what Churchill said about the Chamberlain upon Chamberlain's death.. "...Whatever else history may or may not say about these terrible, tremendous years, we can be sure that Neville Chamberlain acted with perfect sincerity a...

P.S. I think a far more likely scenario is that by suing Boeing, win lose or draw, they cause Boeing a huge public-relations problem, cost Boeing money, and generally raise awareness of the issue. This may, in turn, cause Boeing's folks to put pressure on their elected officials to stop the complai...

OK, explain this one, 1) The current US unemployement is 4.5 % or 6.8 million. Jobless Rates By Catagory: * adult men (4.0 percent) * adult women (3.8 percent) * teenagers (15.3 percent) 2) Currently there are estimated over 12 million undocumented workers in the United States. 3) The US foriegn tra...

To that end, they are better better served by litigating cases for as long they can, thereby hopefully creating legal precedents, pushing the sued entities into behavior modification through the bad PR the companies/government receives during the process, and giving notice to other entities that mi...

Follow the money.. To get the CIA money, you need to have the government admit guilt, not possible. To get Boeing money, you need to make a stink and get the stock price to drop, then get them to settle out of court, very possible. As for the grab, bag, and drop.... nasty business and stupid cause y...

:lol: It's a very big stretch to call most of those wars. Korea: America withdrew after 2 years. They may not have technically lost, but they certainly didn't win. Kuwait/Iraq: Going into someone's country, blowing up a bunch of Shiite and leaving a few days later because doing a proper invasion wo...

As for Wars won... hmm... I dont think you win any but declared victory: Wins… Korea (South is still there) Grenada Panama Dominican Republic Nicaragua Libya (not a war but they shut him up) Cold War (see Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Czech, Slovakia) Bosnia and Serbia (late showing) Kuwait / Iraq ...

AP Wire as of 16:34 PM EST: ... Anonymous sources today confirmed that the White House is currently reviewing a draft proposal from the Pentagon. The proposal outlines the specific plan to invade Cuba and then use the same troops to invade Venezuela. Military strategist outside of the White House vi...

My complaint stems from the non fighters. Full Plate and a Tower Shield are the fighter's benefit, so is expertise and improved expertise, and the chance to have a high AC. However, you can do pretty well as a non fighter in today's Alfa. A level 4 elf thief/ranger can easily have a 20 Dex, dodge, t...

I am a PnP guy. I like the old school stuff. Having said that and IMHO, you can't fault any player from buying AC points given the game mechanics and Alfa rules. It is something that I always found funny about ALFA and here is as good a chance as any to spill the beans.... Why the difference in cost...
