well, in sweden we do have 'mil' not to be confused with the 'mile' even if both are measures of distance, we kept it simply because it was close enough to 10km so we just shrugged and said 'lets redefine it as 10km' and everyone was happy. also tons of other when it comes to cooking...but i blame t...

sweforce: as icekatze pointed out, exact requests for things could be difficult to say the least without near instant communication since it takes WEEKS for the request to get there and more weeks to get the supplies where you want it, and just for kicks how much has the stores been depleted by more...

sweforce: you can't really stop that kind of thing, not really...and on the front lines what would you prefer, good food or maybe enough bullets, pick one.

roeben: hilarious and sad at the same time.... not seen utawarerumono s2 yet(due to getting some friends up to date) but i am expecting it to be a highlight of this batch, heavy object seems kinda cute too in a retarded way. razor: well bugger, it is wide enough for two rail tracks side by side and ...

sueder(and others): on the 'how does the gate work? it is not a very interesting story arc that starts with boffins standing in a room and promptly saying 'not a clue, still working on it, might have something in a few years.' end of arc. ffs they got at least one probably more entirely NEW fields o...

razor: whatever you CAN shunt through a pipeline instead of a train would be done that way, so LNG would probably not eat up train time....and why drive a car through? you got trains going back and forth pretty much constantly.... and the gate is actually pretty damn HIGH i do believe you could do a...

as a writer, or any kind of creator, not letting your personal views color your work is damn near impossible. the term in this case is nippon strong the cousin of russia stronk! and similar to america fuck yeah! which are all in turn just facets of humanity fuck yeah! basically it is nationalistic p...

major: and this is why colonialism isn't always such a bad idea, funny thing about that since the US is pretty much the only country in the world still doing it. ISIS is a threat to civilization as we know it, it says so in their manifesto, convert to Islam or die, surrender your country and all it'...

Greyhome: just saying that the US did not create ISIS since they were murdering torah thumping crazies before anything the US did in Iraq, what happened as often does in such situations was a time of patriotism and 'get rid of the foreign monsters!' which was well capitalized by those crazies, the U...

greyhome: Considering that the organization isis 'came from' was formed in 1999, that is four years before the first iraq war, and considering that the first incarnation was still called 'The Organisation of Monotheism and Jihad' the basic tenant that there should be only one religion and that is is...

15 March 1991 is when ww2 ended.
And yes, the Russians did the heavy lifting in the war.

Absalom: On nukes. I was actually referring to legislation actually forcing media and education to portray nuclear power incorrectly, much as comic books had heroes throwing around cars because teaching kids to 'punch' could be cause for litigation or something. Radiation, many are scared shitless o...

Razor: The problem with discrimination is that it is endemic of the human condition, analytical brain seeks patterns, these may be universally true or locally or only perceived, but quite often these prejudice are based in reality in some way, this means it is quite logical to make broad predictions...

absalom: on services. I happen to live in the 'failed socialist state of Sweden (tm)' where just about all basic services needed for society to work, like water, electricity, phones and such are owned and run by the government, the system is slightly more complicated when the second hand service sel...

krulle: I actually added a few 'possible exceptions' but I decided to cut them out, since it would get insanely convoluted and annoying to read(aka legalese), still does not change the basis. Age of consent in Sweden is 15, funny story, 15 year old girl lives alone(for reasons) and takes home 40 yea...

razor: I think our views might differ in the regard that in my opinion, if you do not want to sell your services to.... people wearing green clothes, you should be allowed to do so, since unless you have a monopoly(btw. monopoly is usually bad, mkay?) that business will simply go to someone that has...

Aight, on to the sexuality and morality stuff, joy! #1 What one person does in the bedroom with other free, volunteering and not complaining people is none of anyone not in said bedrooms business. note: To say anything else is to invite being prosecuted for any other opinion and a VERY dangerous pat...

krulle: do you know the most common cause for christian religious 'defection'? Actually reading the bible, cover to cover. there are reasons why in the olden days ordinary people were not allowed to actually read the bible, only listen to sermons. http://whistlinginthewind.org/2012/05/03/terrible-pa...

sueder: just about everyone, since it is damn near impossible to get into high office in the US without professing christian faith, which means you have to at least seem to care about religious hot potatoes. until the end of the presidents second term, when he no longer needs to care and sometimes t...
