Well, here ya go, an American's perspective...

I obviously know that the riots were going on, though I really did not know the cause, and still do not fully understand what its all about... You have to keep in mind that America is isolated over here... we have Mexico, Canada...

Besides, our Media is not really... well... over there...

Now as to the Newpaper headline...

I recieve the Chicago Tribune, and I saw nothing in there saying it was a war...

Yes, I do hate the American Media, but you have to keep in mind that its a buisness. Its a company... and whats a company's goal? MONEY!!!

so... Obviously... As Elon said, they probably would only write something like that to attract attention to the newspaper.

Do not generalize America by our media, or what your media tells you... We're actually friendly people :)
Its that whole Protestant influence.

oh, and as I understand it, this is more of a "race" type riot, as the young Muslim population, which is obviously very large in France, has seen this incident as an act of racism.

Well, its a bad thing, and I hope it comes to an end soon, and I also hope the bloody media grows a concience and tapes the event to show the world...

Canada riots?
:lol:

maybe Mexico...
It's a well known fact that Americans know little of the world outside the states, so i'm not surprised.
This is true... but please don't say its because we are "stupid"...

I'm sure there are plenty of moron in other countries, though I'd have to travel to be certain ;)

in Award suggestion... Post #145976
Hmm...

to be honest, I don't like a point system... Kinda dull.

I like the little tags under the names though. Maybe putting more consideration into finalizing those, and having some kind of rank system. I believe you said they were temporary? If not, its still a good thing, since someone is not going to click on your name to find out you won a forum award, or a trophie. This way new members know who to trust... with each specific problem... A "decorated member" obviously has great mapping skill, where a "content contributor" knows his stuff.

I suggest an official award for members who have contributed exeptional work to TWHL, such as SlayerA with Minimicus...

This could be given as an... Outstanding Work... type award...

When those boys come out with Hostage Situation, it is obviously worth mention to this degree...

and something like Timefall from Tlax... wherever he is...

Not sure what you would call it, but its worth the effort.

What? If anything the coalition forces in Iraq are opressing the government there. They say they're there to stop terrorism. But i bet if they just left the country it would stop.
opressing the government in Iraq...

Iraq was a dictatorship, where one man had absolute power, and used it in ways that were contrary to UN regulations and obvious morality (Using his own chemical weapons on a small town in Iraq, just to test their effect)

After Saddam was captured, there really wasn't a government in Iraq, so the troops there (Which are from various countries, but primariry the US), stayed there in order to keep peace until they had established an effective form of government. The Rebels there will eventually die down, but we will probably always have troops stationed there, which is a good idea in case some other opressive governmental body takes over.

Our troops are there to keep the peace now, and to help Iraq become its own country, a free one.
they say they're there to stop terrorism.
no...
But i bet if they just left the country it would stop.
It might, but this is not the kind of thing to take chances on...
Lemme guess, you worship some religion and is offended, well im sorry if that is the case then.
naw... just that your statement seemed to have no thought process behind it, as if you were a young kid just spitting out information that was told to him...

I've seen some of your past work, and its been okay.

You're best to start of with something small, rather than a full blown MOD. If you can create some inspiring screenshots, and an interesting storyline, you may be able to coax a coder into helping you.

I won't code for you now, I'm much to busy at the moment.

Good luck to you :biggrin:

in WIP - Brassica HL2SP Post #145179
Its a good start ZL, but it obviously lacks detail.

some more interesting buildings would suffice, rather than the generic single brush monsters I see there. Some trash lying around, and maybe some rubble from past battles there would look really good.

You know, you could make some dark allys along the sides, really dark, with trash cans with the inside on fire, and some nice civilians standing around them.

I like the idea, and Im sure this will turn out great once you put some extra time into it. I'd make more of a contrast between the lights and the atmosphere.

Good luck ;)

Ty,

I tried it with a flat nose... didn't look as nice... Ill stick with pointy, but thanks ;)

Saco...

Xen tree?

No, a large xen pole is gonna smash out of the ground and impale it, leaving it stuck in midair, which is perfect for a "Get off the Ship" type game.

Bj,

hmm... thats a great idea...

I think I'll have xen platforms go past, but these platforms will be tiny.

Remember that large platform you jump to in the first level of Xen? The one with the poles... Ill recreate that, but make it tiiiny.... have it fly by as the ship goes along...

Plus, the ship will be over the Giant Xen planet, which Ill have look round as to suggest it was... well... a planet.

Thanks for the info :)

Habboi,

erg... This ship is hell to compile...

All of these people fucking complaining about how the world sucks and we are gonna die, well heres the thing, if you fucking care so much, get your lazy ass off of your computer and do something. Do anything other than be a lazy ass and complain.
um... Im not complaining about anything.

And by the way, I do do things to improve the world... Don't be too quick to judge...
A way for humans to relieve (Word? Relief?) themselves of the burden of knowing that their life is in their hands. It's just a way of saying "oh fuck, this life sucks. Oh well, heaven, yay.".
This may be true for some individuals, although it is generally believed by religious people that our life is in our hands, and that God has sort of "loaned" us this body. Life is a gift. It has been trusted to us... which is why I am not fond of "suicide".
A way for leaders to control their population.
heh, I'd like to hear your reasoning for that

:biggrin:
i don't really have much to say on religion execpt that they're all crazy people
How old are you?
Support the troops, but not the war. And for those of you who didn't know or couldn't figure it out, I do live in the US, and will be voting for a somewhat better president at the next elections.
ahem...

The War in Iraq was origionally started because of a defence issue. It was known by the UN that Iraq had Weapons of Mass destruction. I personally believe that they did have WMD. Think of how easy it is to smuggle these weapons out, and how much time Saddam had to do it... Just because we did not find them doesn't mean they do not exist... Also, Saddam had obvious ties to Osama Bin Laden...

Okay...

I cannot see how this war can be viewed as having solely bad results... Yes, people died... This is obviously bad... All war is bad, but that doesn't mean that there is nothing good out of it.

Sadam obviously was a "bad" person... He torture his people, tested his own chemical weapons on his own people, ruled as a dictator, refused to acknowledge UN rules, and tried to lie when question about them.

Well, guess what? We got em', hiding in a hole.

The government of Iraq is developing... It is becoming a more free nation, run by the people, which is obviously the whole concept of democracy. I cannot see how you would not support a government by the people, run by the people, decided by the people, in order to create equality for all, and protect their human rights...

oh, and Fragmeister...

The colonists of America did not fly planes into buildings, killing thousands of innocent lives... They did not explode themselves on a bus full of innocent people, just trying to get along in life. They stood up for their freedom. They did not conduct their acts out of hatred and cowerdice. They Stood up before the colonial rule of Britian, proudly. They even signed with their name a document that meant for them certain incrimination.

Terrorists are different.

You cannot argue for terror...

Terrorism is killing the innocent out of hatred, and cowerding in the shadows.

in order to obtain peace and a stable world, humanity has to be willing to make a temporary sacrifice.

Mop,
um...  so you honestly believe America is going to destroy the world with a weather controlling device?
Hmm... The implimentation of a "Death Ray" could come in handy at times... In warfare, one side would not send in troops for man to man combat, but instead fry them from the sky... Of course this would be misused when in the wrong hands, wherever those may be.
Well, I am not so much afraid of the end of the world but the purpose of it being lost. Countries spend billions on weapons they don't need instead of actually spending them on things that could change the world. Greed and manipulation will always be stronger than good will and morality, no matter what american movies tells us.
I agree,
although your point is based upon an understanding of what the "purpose if the world" is, and what "changing the world" means... It all depends on individual goal, although that would be putting it egotistically...

I do understand that you do not believe in "divinity", although I believe that the real purpose of our world lies with that... some form of divine superiority...

yes, I know, sounds ridiculous, but as I have studied and learned more and more about these entites of our world, I began to realise what they actually meant... and how true they actually are...

no, Im not one of those people who say that every religion is correct...

If so for example:

In the Christian Religion, when you die and you are bad, you go to hell.

In the Hindu Religion, when you die and you are bad, you are reincarnated.

If both are true, what does this say about our world???

;)

yes, I believe that people are focusing more on pointless things...

although, if a governmental body where to ignore defence, they would easily be taken over by Greed and Manipulation...

I believe that Capitalism is a horrible method of government, but its the best there is so far...

yes, I did steal that from Winston Churchill in a way.......

okay...

I'll stop my little speech and go to bed...

As for recycling...
It wastes more money to implement recycling systems than just to obtain more resources... As Seventh said, we are not going to "run out" of resources.

As for the Ozone Layer...
Bunch of balony... The leading cause of Carbon Floride Chlorines is Cow Methane, an obviously natural element... plus, The ozone regenerates itself pretty efficently. The only place I would be worried about Ozone Depletion would be New Zeland and parts of Australia, but I'm sure they'll get that under control...

As for cutting down Trees...
They Grow back...

As for Oil...

Petrolium might serve as a problem in the near future, as the price of it is pretty serious right now... Not sure whats going to happen here, but there is much effort in finding a solution in effect right now.

As for GarglyWargly...

I'd put my money on Fusion ;)
