  1. Why in communitarian tribalist cultures they chant praises at someone's sacrifices?

    Irish wakes aren't sad affairs, nor are jazz funerals. Should these be viewed as wrongful? I don't think so. Everyone deals with the deaths of others in their own way, and there is no one single right way to go about doing it.
  2. AHC/WI: "Letters of Marque and Reprisal"

    It sounds to me like that could turn into a protection racket. "Nice ship you have there, be a shame if something happened to it because we weren't there to protect it".
  3. Computerized Communism/Central Planning?

    This reminds me of a story Isaac Asimov wrote. Here it is, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evitable_Conflict .

    When I was reading "The Guns of August" I noticed near the begining it says . Is it even remotely possible that he could have accomplished even part of his grand ambition?
  11. What's your favourite kind of China?

    For much of China's history it was ruled by foreign dynasties though. The Qing were Manchu.
  12. ATL "cool bad guys" in lieu of Nazis?

    Idi Amin? He was plenty crazy and plenty evil.
  13. White supremacists execute 9-11-01

  17. 9/11esque Targets in Beyond NYC/DC

    I wonder if you could smash Hoover Dam with a plane crash?
  18. WI There was a "Danger Man" film series?

    Patrick Mcgoohan was once approached to play James Bond, but turned down the role as being too immoral. Suppose he instead starred in a movie series about the John Drake character? Since this character seemed to better fit his beliefs. How plausible would it be for this to have happened...
