    To teach the same material? As if they would hire me, everywhere the same, newspapers, public television, education, justice department, once these red rats are settled they keep everything else out.

    This forum is great. More socially and globally conscious members than anywhere I've visited on the internet. Very little tripe spewed on these pages.

    Are you reading fully "moderated" comments on the BBC? I think our comments, more long winded and less ignorant and insulting, are light years beyond those. PLUS we are mostly kids! I'm 24, but I've been on since 2002. For all intents and purposes, I'm still a kid.

    We love playing with e-toy soldiers! This puts us in a different realm from most kids/childish adults. I think that we are smarter and more insightful than most. So much so that it dwarfs the instances of wretchedness.

    Our ability to communicate with people from other countries without cursing and threatening is a monument to internet relations if ever I've seen one.

    I learn from this forum. From Fragony talking about his opinions and concerns in the Netherlands to Tribesman telling me that most Americans are shortsighted in their view of the world. We can even learn why "better Red than Fed" people like JAG think Hugo Chavez is more successful than he is a danger to regional stability.

    As good a learning experience as a class in college. Use your mind to sift through the BS

    Seconded. That's why I can't stay away.

    Thanks for reminding me that the primary purpose of the Org is entertainment. If you believe there are more socially and globally concious members here then anywhere else on internet then let me be the one to break the news to you.

    This site is primarily a fan site for the total war games. It shines in that area, the content is exceptional and fairly well presented. Yes, there are some pretty smart people that post here but if your looking to get the pulse of social conciousness or political enlightenment you really should expand your horizons.

    Thanks again !
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    Hmm. I think that what TuffStuffMcGruff means, and something I can agree with, is that views are presented here that I wouldn't normally encounter. No, it might not provide the answers, but at the very least it provides me with new questions.

    He may of meant that but thats not what he said. I'm glad you feel that way. Like I said there are some pretty smart people that post here but this is a fan site for a video game series.

    Thats where this site shines in the Total war content.

    I didn't say that, but it is true. Our TW content is top notch, but I come here for the Backroom.

    I don't know much about the Netherlands. More than most in general, but not in this Forum.
