I especially get a kick out of the Japanese racing games where the only fast cars are... you guessed it... from Japan.

"Yea... my 2000 hp Honda Civic just smoked the crap out of a Modena and a Diablo, those cars are such crap!"

"Dude... the civic sux 2, you need to get you one of them Jap. Spec. Tercels, octal turbocharged 2 liter BTG2.3f engine upgrade and the cool neon underbody lights... that car is the shit!, I eat Vipers for lunch with that badboy!"

Okey I apologise for my allusions(?), I got a little carried away and like Johnny says (the voice of reason as always [img]smile.gif[/img] ) it's just a game.

What is this freedom thing I hear about so often these days? Can anyone let me know? And while you're at it, I'm curious about what 'terror' is too...

Cheers in advance [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Hm.. the US in the alternate reality from the game was not ruled by a cruel dictator before the Russians came. Nor where the Russians planning on leaving in the near future.

Americans not religious extremists - pot calling the keetle black!

Americans not killing their own people - have you heard of 'friendly fire'?

I am still amazed by the American retreat from all things french. If it wasn't for the french you would still be under british soverienty. Have you heard of Montesquieu?

I think that there are iraqi-freedom fighters that dont want an islamic state, try to imagine what it must feel like to have a foreign country occupying your land. They might tell you that its better for them, that you are bringing freedom, but just to give you an example: the germans said those same thing to all the western european countries they invaded. They said they came to establish a new era in history and that they came to 'help' those countries a bit on their way. Point is: as soon as you are occupied by a foreign country, you cant help but feel the future is no longer in your own hands...
