Would you support someone joining a mercenary group if they didn't have a choice and were in similar circumstances? If not, why?

Can you expand your argument please? What in practice is the "social contract system of ethics", and what laws do corporations follow. How does a law that affects corporations get created?

What is a little interesting are the different perspectives people have about the war. People have many theories as to why the war is happening, and unfortunately many were willing to murder and risk...

It is important to also factor democide and governmental exploitation into the equation as well, as that is done at the equivalent of a gun. Is any monopoly of force capable of not using their guns?

I can imagine they might do the Garlic Jr. movie at a much later point. Like when they run out of stuff to do. Or if we are lucky they might just surprise us.

Aren't the logical implications of almost every one of those statements be that the creation of a government would be catastrophic?



If this is the case, then logically any collective decision...

Disproving the validity of libertarianism is quite easy. Where most people go wrong is that they refute the conclusions of a moral principal, as opposed to refuting the moral principle. For those who...

Yes, that is supposed to happen. If you go for a OCC culture game and build the great wall as Washington, this can be deadly. Also, I believe there is a wonder that decreases tile cost.

A lot of factors in play with this issue. I'll list a few.

-Subsides to various industries increase the supply of junk food, thus also reducing the cost. The unseen damage to this is that farmers...

I keep losing the game by one turn.

I don't have any tips, but I can share one of my favorite methods of composition.

-Snip, got my threads mixed up-

These skills have to be learned through lots of practice. You don't learn how to make music that sounds good, rather you learn to recognize what sounds good and what sounds bad.

Suggestions are always good, especially when they are backed up.

Should I request that the thread be moved into the Music Discussion Forums?

I think one issue is that the GD is not nearly as active as it used to be.

Phil Collins always irritates me.

When it comes to issues that determine if people who are caught with certain drugs should be thrown into rape rooms for ten years or more and be stamped with a criminal record that ruins any decent...

I am not at all sure. There are many factors at play that could increase or decrease the risk of accident, including the type of road, surrounding terrain, people that are new to driving, and so on....

I'll be listening to the album tomorrow. Though I already did kind of listen to it through the mastering process, I wasn't at all in critique mode.

Ah good, an editing mistake that I don't have to fix :D

I'm afraid teacup will have to answer that.

Actually, on second thought, send me a PM with the song and information.

Actually no, don't do that, I just...

The file is corrupted. Media players at least on my computer crash after that point. It would possibly be an idea to send that person a PM.

Is your song supposed to be so distorted? I feel as though you turned up the gain too high.

Was not in this link http://www.mediafire.com/?b8zoiy1n71y3m

Is that a song you submitted? If so, send me a PM and I will add it.

The artists and songs are going to be on the back cover whenever somebody makes it.

OP Test

What needs to be done
-Refine the OP
-A back cover with the track list and album credits
-Verification that I didn't screw anything up
-Custom header for bandcamp site (optional)...

What exactly is "In The Pines"?

5th August 2012

The current track order is

Nocturne
Comfortably Numb
Avast Your Ass
One Must Fall

I'll do a bit of work on it. There is a bit of an issue with the beginning of the song being far too soft.

I'm not sure if kitteh-nator intended to throw a distortion pedal on...

Annoyingly enough, having an issue with the download. It wants me to install the media fire tool bar in order to download, but when I try installing it, I am told that I need to uninstall the...

Wait, yeah. I didn't see the edited post with the links.

It would be wise to cease focusing on conclusions before establishing a basis. It is of course tempting to jump straight to the question and answer it, but this methodology is quite poor in...

Be sure to post the topic link here. I don't really browse GD.

I am finally getting out of this tendency of not building a military when playing peacefully.

Must be because of my culture. I'm playing a OCC and the only thing I really have is culture.

Odd, I didn't know civ's could be afraid of you. I don't even know why Pascal is afraid of me.

This is something that I came out of NLP that is legitimate. It works pretty well as far as magic tricks go, but the method is not reliable with some people. There are a lot of interesting uses, and...

Gandhi just took out my entire force of elite planes out with a single nuke. It was certainly a bad idea to keep them all in one place.

Tall refers to high city population, low amount of cities. Wide refers to low city population, lots of cities. When you try to go wide and tall, your citizens become quite unhappy.
