It was unbelievably stupid that civ 3 made all colonies away from the center of your civ worthless and didn't allow you to change corruption levels until a few patches in. They did eventually change the editor to allow you to alter the corruption rates. Turn it down to about 13% and you get...

The only generalization I'd make about US soldiers is that I wouldn't want my daughter dating one. I don't know if it's just my soldier friends or what, but they're near the last of the people I know that would make good boyfriends/husbands.

I suspect that if it hadn't been for a certain gigantic scandal, nixon would be remembered as the best president of the last half of the 20th century. Democrats despise reagan, repubs despise clinton, no one is too fond of bush/carter as pres, johnson has vietnam, and kennedy, well, he'll get...

No, you couldn't. Unless you want to suggest a mechanism that changes the dna of your gametes every instant of your life (and remember, the dna of eggs is made before the woman is even born),

No, I wouldn't. no idea why you asked that. And yet, the russians are 5 for 19 just getting working probes in mars orbit. I know the europeans have had a failure or three. NASA's record blows the rest of the world away. Unfortunately, the bureaucrats/politicians kept the shuttle program...

The last 3 final fantasy games: 11, an MMO. none of the above apply here. 12 (they call it x-2, but screw them): extremely non-linear, and I don't think it was end of the world ( I didn't play this one, my fiancee did). 13 (12, about to be released in japan, I guess): a new and non-ff type...

No reason to think that ghouls or mutants would be the least bit more attracted to each other than you would be to them, except in as much as they probably get pretty desperate after, say, a century or so. Gotta go with I think I'll have to go with humans as my favorite race because they...

Nasa has the highest success rate with its mars missions, over 50%. Viking 1, 2, pathfinder, spirit, opportunity all landed safely. the polar lander failed. that's 5 of 6. The world outsided the US, on the other hand, has an o-fer, which drops the global % down to 33%. If you're talking...

Even if you support corporal punishsment, cutting off the thumbs is insane. Unlike removing other individual fingers, cutting off thumbs creates cripples. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with caning people.
