/me considers renaming MVPE MVCE this week, with C = Chicken.

What was MVPE meant to stand for in the first place? I'm confused because of various people making fun of it.

Death metal? There are many types of metal that aren't death metal at all, and none of the music mentioned was in fact related to death metal Which basicaly reinforces your point about genres and such.

*sigh* Yep I was wrong. Trotsky said 'You may not be interested in the dialectic, but the dialectic is interested in you.' You see, I tried the make a whole post there without consulting the internet. The internet is your friend.

If you take the very long view, Israel is in fact their property. Although they did originally kick all of the other tribes out of Canaan in the first place, but they don't exist anymore, so that's ok :? Basically, all territory is gained through conquest (or some cases, sale of the land) and disput...

You see, the thing is, there are other games - defcon without nukes is not defcon or anything approaching it. There are other games which simulate nval engagement in a realistic non-nuclear way (see War in the Pacific, although this is so hardcore you may actually die :P ) There are mods that concen...

It is closely related to orchestral metal, and basically means that it has violins and cellos, and a lead singer who doesn't have to gargle with rusty nails to maintain his/her 'singing' voice. See: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VyqLl0XoMTI&mode=related&search= http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Heh. I have an odd taste in music, but I like general rock, glam rock, general metal and melodic metal, a form which at times breaks the boundaries with classical music.

Aside from the fact that China, possibly one of the most dangerous threats to continued world peace, sees climate change as a myth used to cut back economic growth and maintain Western economic hegemony over the world? I am not against action against climate change as such, but I am against politica...

I watched saw 2 once, and felt physically sick in a way I never have done after watching a movie. I'm not morally against the films or anything, it's just I don't find the idea of a girl crawling into a pit of syringes very appealing. It's just self-indulgent torture-porn and I don't like it.

As I'm sure you can imagine, I am quite happy that you have seen the GGWS debunked - of course this cannot change my perceptions in any way. My point is, calling something a 'scientific fact' is inherently flawed, as the Scientific Method is based upon observation evidence and questioning everything...

I was playing Devil's Advocate, to see if he actually had an answer. As far as politics go, I'm undecided. Also, watch the Great Global Warming Swindle - it may give you a new insight. There are two types of propaganda - the one hate the most is the Micheal Moore type.

My 2 cents.... ⋅ Western Consumerist extremists scare me every bit as much as Islamic/communist extremists, probably more. ⋅ If a bomb gets dropped on you it's gonna ruin your whole day, whether it's a chemical, fission, fission-fusion or anti-matter device. ⋅ The Iran...

I have never gone hunting, and probably never will, (It's a bit different here in the UK - it seems to be strictly an activity for the aristocracy) but I don't have any problem with people who do hunt. I was against the anti fox hunting law that came into force a few years ago, not because I think I...

It's great to hear that the game is popular even in the non-English speaking world (although you seem to be managing).

Kind of off-topic, but yesterday on a diplo game I turned everyone against a player i didn't like by typing SOUTH AMERICA HATES YOUR FREEDOM!
