When it comes down to it, the US is showing a number of signs related to the decline of its society. At best, we will end up like a better version of what happened to the USSR. Purely hypothetical educated guess.

(at worst- anarchy? terrorists win? invasion?)

I've got to give this guy credit here: the soldiers themselves don't always use common sense. Sometimes they just make poor decisions, whatever. They may not even expect to live through a tour, who can say? But the fact is that soldiers can get pretty promiscuous - and that doesn't mix well with ...

The USSR was never a socialist or communist state any more than the current US is a democracy. Anyone with a proper education will know exactly what I'm saying here.

As far as the "What if" concerning the US and WWII, it's all purely hypothetical. Perhaps the Allies would have held out against ...

Personally, I think the election system could use some updating. I know some political science people that would disagree with me, but I can't help but feel that we are not getting the cream of the crop for these things. How is it that the only real competition is between two people we dislike ...

Anyone who believes America is the best at everything is truly a product of what passes for its education system. I've seen students training to be teachers who practically give up on doing anything worthwhile simply because the system is so bad. Considering they haven't even started to work yet ...

If we have the technology to fire a bomb and have it go down an airshaft into an underground bunker, what's stopping us from developing technology that can launch food at hungry people?

'Hey, that guy could use a banana!'
[ShhhhhhhOOOM! Smack!]
'Mission Accomplished!'

The stealth banana!

Smart ...

I'm surprised no one has jumped on the fact that the US should have joined WWII sooner. C'mon Brits, where you at? It was one of the times when the US should have been gearing up for war and it didn't. While some of the current wars have some value that might actually stand up to scrutiny, I think ...

I think this 'off-topic' sequence is quite fitting actually. Where did America get its original leaders, perspective, and values? The British Empire of old had a great hand in shaping what the USA has become today. Obviously Americans have to be responsible for what their nation does, but you can't ...

Is that fucking (pseudo)Indian still spouting his inflammatory bullshit? Well, at least he chose the right place to do it. Honestly, "I have no stereotypes"? How about fat, toothless, tobacco-chewing, ...etc. You seem to think you can get by labeling all of us that way.

I will say again that I ...

Somebody hold me back... I feel a strong urge to dispense Indian Justice on motts444 at the moment...

If you are indeed Indian, perhaps you would do well to observe your behavior at this point. Sure, it is a flame thread and this is where 'the gloves come off,' but you are not acting any better ...

Probability dictates that the attacker will have the advantage with 3 dice. Whether the advantage makes that much difference is up for debate.

I don't care so much about the name since I hear worse from the mouths of certain players. Just like with trash-talkers, however, I might go out of my way to make sure he/she loses a little sooner.

You certainly need to try and keep what you get, but you can't win the game without attacking. It's that simple. You just have to know when to attack and try to set up a reasonable defense in the meantime.
