1: I'm not Christan.

I'm not really sure how that's relevant, and for what it's worth (absolutely nothing), neither am I.

Some people think China can outnumber us...
Maybe, maybe.
I've yet to see China outnumber boolits.

I'm trying to figure out the point you're trying to make. That we have more bullets than them?


But yeah, I don't see a conventional war happening between the US and China at all. Too far removed from each other. The idea that infantry would matter a whole lot seems silly to me. I see more of a prolonged economic struggle going on... which it basically already is.

I actually missed your post. I was responding to that other guy.

Um. Ah. Yeah. They'd have to go through parts of Russia (and then Canada, I guess) to get to us, I think, but if they were actually aiming for the US I'm not entirely sure how much Russia'd actually complain about it. Or be able to stop them without resorting to the boom.

If you mean me, I never actually said you were :P At least in the last post I made relating to that stuff, anyway.

I'm not sure about the ability to use that really. I mean... They would have to fight their way, easily harassed, though all of Russia, Alaska, and Canada. And even then the ability to cross the strait is in question. Even if they do then they are in a hostile frozen wasteland basically cut off from any resupply or reinforcements.

If you mean me, I never actually said you were :P At least in the last post I made relating to that stuff, anyway.

I thought you did here:

As for G-Flex, I think he just wants to make it easier to actually separate the people in the church that are evil (or at least terribly obsolete) by most standards from folks like you, who seem considerably more chill about things. It'd be a lot easier to tell the rotten fruit from the edible stuff if the edible stuff would stop putting itself in the same bin, so to speak.

Anyway, I guess I just don't have that issue because even in a organization that is stereotypically evil I would want to judge people on individual merits. IE: I don't believe it is desirable or possible to sort the fruit without looking at each and every one.

Ah, I actually missed that (am drowsy from food, heh.). Fortunately, 'like' gives enough leeway I can retroactively interpret it to mean people of temperament similar to yourself, rather than folks that are actually considering themselves this kind of strange not!Roman Catholic we're referring to :P

I'll admit I was working under the implication that you were referring to the more modern Catholicism from the inside, though. Take my apologizes for the mistake.

Anyway, I guess I just don't have that issue because even in a organization that is stereotypically evil I would want to judge people on individual merits. IE: I don't believe it is desirable or possible to sort the fruit without looking at each and every one.
And yeah, agreement here. It just makes doing that somewhat more difficult when the nice fruit is saying it's the same sort of fruit as the rotten stuff, even if it's not doing the same sort of things. It also says there might be some non-trivial issues with the nice fruit, that they're not willing or able to see or consciously make the separation themselves.

Man, this has to be the worst thread I have read through in a long time. Wacko apocalypse argument, Religion debate, and absurd sinophobia (if thats even a word - ah it will do). The sooner it is locked/forgotten about the better.
