My question was not answered. Reveal yourselves, old-school fanboys!
Has anyone else played the original games?
& notice, Israel doesn't have any oil for export. They produce enough for their own consumption. So the US isn't getting anything on that deal. & given that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, & the only country where you don't get stoned for disagreeing w/ the State, I'd say its more about knowing America's true friends (Israel) from so-called 'allies' who directly or indirectly support terrorism (most of the other nations in the region). & I take you back to 'I will bless those who bless you...' Enough Christians & Jews here believe those words to make that a primary motive for supporting Israel. To quote Yul Bryner, 'So let it be written, so let it be done!'
Well, I'd take a bunch of Jews over a bunch of Muslims any day.
A lot of super computers, and a lot of time.
By that argument, what happened to the Natives of Australia was a good thing. & the Natives here should pack up & leave too. Well, Israel has God on its side.
'I shall bless those who bless you, & curse those who curse you', says the Scripture. & we have seen that to be the case. Its like the old Jewish joke: 'They tried to kill us, we won, lets eat.' It has always been thus. The nations who tried to destroy us are in the dustbin of history. We are victorious. Thus it has been, is, & always will be. End of speech.
Even ignoring Torah, Canaanites don't exist any more, so the Jews qualify as the original inhabitants. Ergo, the Arabs must go.
I understand your point. But, in reality, the book was inspired by God. Even Christians acknowledge that. Heck, even Muslims acknowledge that much, though they believe it has been superceded (although how 'forever' suddenly doesn't mean 'forever' is beyond me). But, ignoring Torah, Jews still have a strong claim to the Land since the Arabs interloped on the area.
Incidentally, racially, Jews are like Hispanics, in the sense that they can be white (like Costa Ricans), brown (like most Mexicans), or black (like many Cubans).
I remember I looked on reddit's Fallout board once, it was terrible. Some people didn't even realise F3 was the third game in the series.
It still took European missionaries to make it a written tongue.
Parliament, by the time of Victoria, had become a fairly representative body w/ political power. Even as far back as Henry VIII, tyrant though he was, Parliament controlled money, & stopped Henry from @ least 1 war. By the time of the Glorious Revolution in 1688, when they 'invited' the Catholic King James II to abdicate, and kindly offered the throne to his Protestant daughter Mary II, & her husband William the Stadholder, they had proven themselves stronger than monarchs. It is true that the franchise was limited til the latter half of the 19th Century, but nobody's perfect. The fact that the franchise even existed was a step up from most countries.
Xhosa was not a written language. Nor were most sub-Saharan African languages before European contact. Britain had established parliamentary democracy early in the Imperial period. Victoria was hardly an absolute monarch.

Rama, you have a point. But only an ethnic group can use an ethnic slur to refer to someone outside the group. Ergo, Jews are an ethnic group. To be sure, the term is not a slur. Jesus even used the term in the Gospels. It is an identity designation, nothing more.
Well, a written language, for 1. Most cultures the British displaced didn't write.
Government, for 2. Most cultures displaced were absolute monarchies functioning as dictatorships.
3. If India had been ruled by Germany or Russia or China (or by many of her own native Princes!), Gandhi would have been done in w/i 5 minutes! He did what he did because he had inalienable rights under British law. Those are just a few examples. I could go on, but that should suffice.
Explain? I thought mass came from a ton of particles from the big bang coming together slowly over time to create small amounts of mass, which would then accumulated into larger amounts as the universe was simultaneously cooling down. According to this, I would imagine that gravity is a by product of mass rather than actually creating mass.
At the same time, I think this explanation of 'mass curving space-time thus causing gravity' only explains things on a larger scale, not so much on a small scale. This is also why they have attempted to explain gravity in other ways and have introduced Quantum Physics, correct?
Not yet, had it for a year now and still can't figure that out.
Explain self awareness. Not thought. Awareness.
