| The difference between the Holocaust and other genocides is the fact that the Holocaust was a legislated and fully industrialized process - it was just that different.
However, that photo speaks volumes of intellectual information. The way that the bodies have been starved and are tossed into a shallow grave, awaiting incineration. They way that they were used for testing and slave labour while they were around. That grim mosaic of corpses repesents the cruel and cold logic that went into the Holocaust. |

Originally posted by emcee Yeah, I grew up in one of the most industrial areas of Canada right near one of the factories and less than 12 miles from the nuclear reactor to my east (40 from the one to the west). I think I know enough about pollution and the effects it can have on a population. Don't have kids were I grew up. |

Originally posted by AnyaOriginally posted by Kingpin They should've let it be, but the changes don't make the game suck. I mean, it wasn't as good as Deadly Alliance or Deception, that is wholly true. The sheer scope of the game and the attempts to just rectify any errors really raise it up in my eyes. I thought it was great to have that many players. But as a MK buff, I didn't like the choppy story mode. I understand that they couldn't go back and retcon so much storyline, but god damn. Some of it goes pretty WTF. |

| Yeah, you see. I just can't see many similarities or parallels between the two. The liberal-democratic idea of liberty being a series of limitations of freedom to ensure the best for the most of the population isn't exactly equatable with the NAZI ideology of nihilistic, radical sociali-darwinism. The NAZIs were the most bizarre of all the denizens of Cloud Kukoo Kukoo Land. | |||

| That didn't. lead to world war 2. But you decided to draw a superflous and questionable issue between the issue of the laws surrounding Holocaust denial and the actual perpetuators of the said atrocity. | |||

| Well, even in countries where there aren't laws pertaining to Holocaust denial...these people are still underground and out of the public eye. Why do you say? Because to be in the public eye with such extreme views and propensity towards violence and agitation...Well, you don't need hate crime laws to be charged with that stuff. Hate crime laws are a good thing (tm) because they keep these people cornered, boxed in, and make it more difficult to spread their ideology.
Although, in all honesty. Equating absolute freedom to democracy is absolutely preposterous. Although I'd say that the world at this point is back-sliding from totalitarianism. I'd really like to see you prove such an increase in such regimes around the world. |

| I believe I mentioned it in the tread. Foreign Affairs journal had a piece a few months back touching on the subject. Recently one of my friends started work on a paper studying proliferation of nuclear weapons and the future of the issue. Nothing new though. Koizumi was a far less hawkish leader than Shinzo Abe is turning out to be. Abe, historically, has been known for choices of sabre-rattling and his love of hardline stances. Quiet though he is. | |||

| 1. Small amount of candy.
2. A shirt and a pair of pants from my parents. They also got me a sport jacket, unfortunately it has to be returned because it is too large. 3. A pre-tied bow tie (boo on the pre-tied factor, kudos on the nice material and the straight-style) and tuxedo shirt from my sister. 4. My dad popped up with a few bottles of Okocim Strong which we started drinking at 9 am. |

| Likewise! I just tried on the shirt that my sister gave me. The shoulders, chest, arms, wrist, et al. are all well fitting. But the neck is unbelievable tight. And the bow tie cannot be adjusted, either. So it is perpetually too small. So, I must return these two items. I may invest in a single solid colour shirt to go with my society bow tie. | |||

| Well, there is that selfish desire, in some ways. Japan and Korea are excellent strategic locations. Plus, the U.S. and the West sunk billions, if not trillions, into insuring that they will be an economic engine that we can rely on for many products.
As for the economics of nuclear weaponry. You only need about 1 to have a relatively threatening deterrent. There aren't more than two nations with over a thousand active warheads. In fact, as far as it goes, the stockpiles that the US and Russia have are often a bit of a nuisance. Upkeep of nuclear weapons is complicated, expensive and when they go past their shelf life...it is even more expensive and even more of a headache to properly get rid of them. Mind you, if Japan builds a British styled deterrent, say a dozen or two nuclear weapons, it wouldn't cause any economic setbacks. It is a few billion dollars spread out over two years to have a fully prepared deterrent. But again drawing parallels between US and Japanese miltiary-economic relationships is naive. The situations between the two nations are unbelievably different. Although the Japanese could easily support a huge deterrent arsenal. They have the massive economy to back it up. Although I do find your insuation silly. Japan is currently looking for a nuclear option because they know the US is behind them 100%. If they have that nuclear option, then they will feel more protected. Look at our allies. Britain, Australia, France, Israel, South Africa...they all investigated and researched (in the case of Australia) and built their own weapons (in the case of all the others). We were always behind them and they knew that if any thing at all went down NATO would be storming in with boots on the ground and jets in the sky. But I guess on your point of proliferation you're right. North Korea already has a bomb. Which has me wondering. The explosion was only about a kiloton, however if it is dropped on Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Vladivostok or other local population centres it is a sizeably destructive weapon. The question that has others wondering is "does North Korea have more". If they do, then it means that if the first one was a fizzle and they don't need to worry. However, the scary prospect of proliferation is that the nuclear weapon game spreads. That is what proliferation is. NK may attempt to, as the scare theory goes, sell their technology to a high bidder. A militia may attempt to purchase the completed weapon. This is where the minor kiloton yield comes in. It is easier to construct a more destructive weapon (you know, like several more kilotons) that is larger. If that kiloton wasn't a fizzle, then they have a relatively small weapon on their hands (which indicates an amazingly high level of technology) that can be more easily smuggled. This is where the fear of proliferation comes in. But, I think the scariest thing would be NK selling nuclear technology to other needy nation states that are willing to sink down and buy from an unreliable nation. That is the proliferation he is talking about. The US Cowboy Diplomay ideal is what brought this all to a head. Also, stop talking about regime change! That is the last thing you want now that North Korea is nuclear armed. You want isolation to lead to integration and a gradual phase in over the next decade of a new regime that is ever so slightly more benevolent. It really doesn't matter if Kim is still premier or head of the army. What matters is that we can pacify the regime, bring it under some level of international control and take it out of "hermit" status. That way we can at least assist the people of the nation. A regime-change would be a disaster. Additionally, it would be without precident. We've never instigated a full regime change with a nuclear armed state that would be projected to fall into a state of warlord control and factional infighting. Given that we can't manage one without nuclear weapons, god knows how we'll do one when we try to do it with one that does. |

| Of course he is as aggressive as "they get these days".
You know, there is only ONE president. South Africa had weapons. Look into it. Voluntary disarmament. Also, opposition to Apartheid was usually wink-wink-nudge-nudge when it came to military things. The nuclear weapons issue, though, is never us behind them 100%. It is us behind them 100% because they know that if anyone decides to launch a scud or get their katyushas too ready then the US will strike them. Israel is a bit different given that the US basically foots the entire bill of that nation's defence budget due to its strategic chess-piece location. But yeah. If Syria were to start sending over tanks, I'm pretty sure the US would assist massive aid and material to bomb Damascus. Also, you didn't read what I said. The facet of absolute world proliferation is what Bush's "with us or the terrorist" jabber got us onto. As for regime change. Then stop mentioning it. You've become a bit more pragmatic with your dealings with the topic. We know your wet dream, for whatever reason, is having Kim's head on a pike. Stop talking about absolutes in such a way. Remember, Biology 101 isn't exactly the way you're talking about it. Find another thread to post in, by the way. |
