Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

last count on the news was 40 people have died,      may they RIP  :cry:

well what did the goverment or army do to them first, ewm save it for the pol thread before you start it was hyperthetecal. i would like to say our emerigence services have done a wounderful job in keeping calm and handerling the situation.

I would like to quote a bbc reporter aswell

"the terroists job is to do that, to terroize, except the brief moments when the bomb had gone off, they have not terroized, the hospitals where redey, the emerigencie services where redey, and the britsh stay calm, people are walking home now, no histeria, no panic, walking home trying to find normalty again"

he is right, the people in the blast very quickly calmed down, saught help and did not over react, people are acting normaly now, a little shocked and saddend yes but mostly normal.

also i find it very strange where they blow up the bus up, they blow the bus right next to a meeting of doctors and parmedics (the building next to it) so the instant it blow there was doctors and paramedics on the scene, honestly you want to cause as much death as possible? then don't explode a bomb when theres the royal nation doctos assocation next door!

Thats what our governments are trying to do, end the terrorism.

I think eufnoc took that the wrong way, I never said you haven't faced terrorism before, but then again, neither has he US. Of course the IRA hasen't done something this big to my knowledge.

Guess I should respond to ewms hipicritical post about keeping it in the political thread, good god man, all I say is our governments are trying to stop it and you just break out and say a ton of sh*t. Don't you dare continue on this particular thread, or you lose any shred of respect I may still have for you.

All I have to say about this sad episode is all the surveillance cameras and nanny-state government didn't save innocent Londoners from being butchered. Perhaps time to clean out the mosques up north?

Not nearly as bad as say France or Germany to be sure

I feel quite comfortable with it. ;) Thank you.

You're comfortable with the highest unemployment since the 1920s and a large percentage of your population that is unassimilated, hostile to western ideals, and actively supporting arabic-only worship and public education? You're an awfully sanguine person, sir.

Seems funny to me what bad things u have to say about other countries, when in yours racism is still very much present, there are more fat people in US than anywhere else in the world, your leaders are idiots, you play policeman of the world,....

Just plizz settle your own problems b4 u start commenting on other country ones. If u really think that u help countries to protect liberty than u r an even bigger fool I already think u are. US helped NOONE if there wasnt any economic or strategic gain for them. In WW2 u only send troops when u actually realized that your allies might actually loose the war, so u might not get payed for the shipments u send them. Also b4 u critisize Germany and other "old European" countries as u called them remember that in WW2 they ALL were ALMOST LEVELED to the ground, all industry destroyed, countries in great debt,...
The last war that was fought on your soil was the civil war, I suspect that is why u are so eager to go to war in other countries, people have simply forgot how it feels, noone remebers it and the only see it on TV. Hell if we help them and get some oil in return why the hell shouldnt we go to war, maybe Holywood will even make a movie about it in some years, so we can all see again how our glorious armies destroyed the enemy who is 50 years behind us in tech and is outnumbered 20:1. And how we didnt even have to engage them just slaughter them with missiles from where they couldnt hurt us, and when they retreated in civil areas we simply bombed there, a hospital destroyed here and there, who cares right?

(in this I also replied for the statements in politic thread US sends their brave sons and daughters to fight for us, and how they die and blablablalbla)

PS: That remark that your leaders are idiots is strickly of personal nature and nothing has been proven to proven my convictions ;)

Don't mix up the posts. wink.gif

coolhandab => the US guy

me => the German guy who likes his country and thinks there are less problems than everyone says

smile.gif The socialist country I meant was East Germany (aka DDR = GDR).

And the problem with the socialism in that case is the way the economy was handled. And the fact that neither the infrastructure nor the economy itself was in good condition. Masses of money went into increasing the standards in East Germany. In fact, you still get lower wages in East Germany today. The process is not over. There still is the "solidarity tax" which is meant to help with that.

And that's one of the reasons for the weak economy now and the high unemployment rate. But still, it's better to have a unified Germany after all. So we have to accept the problems and work further on solving them.


I mostly agree with Baron, although I wouldn't use such a drastic language.
I'm more for diplomacy... an optimistic person. Concerning that, coolhandab was right.

oh and i just saw the last page, can we try to keep it in the political thread please?

Look, in the US we've only had one major act of domestic terrorism (Oklahoma City, 1994). In Europe you've got an awful lot of "local" muslims, mostly trained in German mosques, blowing up non-muslims in Madrid, and now London. And you talk about racism being a problem here. How many americans are blowing up their fellow citizens? Not too many last time I checked ...
