Ah yes, reverting to the normal tactics of the leftists: when you can't compete intellectually, start calling people names and quoting popular television shows, because that demonstrates decisively that you are more astute a debater than your opponents. :roll: Ok now, ignoring the comedy routine, w...

I had something else in mind when I started writing, but this idea occured to me halfway through... FYI, Fergie is now unconcious. He would have tried deactivating the self-destruct otherwise. The computer overseeing the self-destruct is somewhere else on the ship, and with the destroyed terminal, i...

“Roger that. We’re on our way, then. And Captain...” Omega paused. “Looks like you were right about my ‘take no prisoners’ approach... I just wanted to say that.” Fergie shrugged.

Kinda like a boxer-nosed version of my EAS Reprisal ? My other main capital ship is CNS Excalibur , but she doesn't fit your description very well. I have a hatful of other vessels but most of them are based off gimbled centrifuge-type artificial gravity sections like Excalibur (I do SO love the Bab...

France isn't socialist, their so socialist their effectivly communist. That's a whole different ball of wax. The difference between socialism and communism is methodology: socialists pass laws, while communists pass laws and then arrests anybody who dares dissent. Not, per se "pure" communism where...

Let her keep her silly little peace sign. It's her property, not the homeowners association's.

You and Ann Rand can kiss my ass. Yes, capitalism is great, people deserve the rewards of their labors, etc etc, but when there is some basic social safety net, and a basic level of universal education, as well as other simple social services (schools, national defense, etc), everyone is better off...

Ralph has already said that lux can't be used for mind control (and therefore probably no other telephathic-like effects), so wiping memories is out.

Personally, I think it's rather useful. Not all people know how to weild a knife, after all, and most people who do so usually end up having it taken away from them and/or used against them (Not to mention size/strength dynamics.
