This thing is still on-going after 10+ years lol.

Hey folks, A lot of you know whom are still here! (Frankly, even more surprised that the game is still around) Well... while I am not certain on how my activity would turn out, I will give it a shot. Got some serious catch up to do, I see. Ruler: LordEmperor (The Ex-Headmaster) Link: https://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=256396

What is this. I am now curious. I hope it's something I can open at work. LoL Mask por favor. Thanks.

I hate smoke-products. Puff cookies are just... bad. Smells bad, it leaves bad odor on you, and etc. Unfortunately, some of my closest friends and colleagues are still smokers and I can't seem to get around it though......... As for liquor, I love beer, wine, and blended whiskey. I love trying out different kinds of beer, but for wine, I like to keep it red and probably origined from Spain, Argentina, Chile, or California. Now that's generalization. As for whiskey, I like Royal Salute and Johnny Walker. Older the better for me, but keeping it at 21 years is most affordable at this point for my Royal Salute taste. Oh... I don't like patron, but my friends keep insisting, so I do drink that once and awhile when we all go out...

^ I agree. LoL

Betsy!!! I wouldn't desert you! xD Frankly, I didn't read the pages in between. :3 Sorry about that! <3 Thanks!!!

I loled when you said even if it was Master Samus.

Nah. It's not in my nature to hide. I rather try hard first and get beaten than to hide. I just don't check non-Milcom threads too often. Thanks for understanding. Have a good weekend!

Drinking some beer to celebrate my 4 day weekend! Woohoo! Taking my Monday off from dreadful office. omg... Do you really wish to go there LE? So to get anything "constructive" done, it has to be Democrats that do it? Republicans are not people? Who has been fighting uphill battles? There are over 360 bills from the House of Representatives sitting on Hary Reid's desk that he refuses to bring to the floor. This will change in January... and the true obstructionist will be exposed. I think you are an amazing leader, but this post really offended me Sir. I have spent the last 8 years of my life to bring down the most corrupt politician in DC... Harry Reid. Tonight I drink champaign. Lysistrata...I agree to a lot of your views, but you really should tone it back some. You come off quite aggressive, and your views are not the only ones that are allowed to be said. You can debate/discuss a point without being so in your face because an individual has a different opinion then you. I enjoy a good discussion from different views, but I can't stand when someone makes someone feel like their thoughts/opinion/views mean nothing because they're different then theirs. These are why I hate to see topics like these even started, because it always becomes hostile instead of debating, instead of at the end of the day, we're all entitled to our own views and beliefs so leave it at that. The mere fact you got "offended" over a post that you took different from your views and instantly went on the attack is why I dread seeing such topics, as it just ends up bad and people pissed off. And tbh...I don't get why you got so offended. LE's post is making a very realistic point. You're making assumptions to what LE meant by his post, and no where did I read LE say that Republicans are not people, nor that Democrats can only do things "constructive." The point made is probably a likely scenario. You have Republicans going to push bills that favor Republican views/ideals and likely not look to work with Democrats because they have majority in both House and Senate, and you have a Democratic President who will likely not like the bills, and thus fight for his parties view. You come off as if roles were reversed, a Republican President would not do the same, and the truth is, they would. It's going to be a big tug of war match which will likely end up stalling most of everything, and it's not one side's fault or the other, it's both of their faults because neither want to actually work together to come up with a decent proposal that both sides can support, and that actually would help America. The Republicans wont care about Democrats thoughts or views because they have majority in congress so they don't need to, and you got a President who is the last line of Defense for Democrats to not just let Republicans pass what they want. So LE's point is likely spot on, nothing constructive is going to happen because both sides are going to have zero interest in the other's opinions, Republicans in Congress because they can now get what they want passed without Democrats, and a Democratic President who doesn't care what Republicans think, because he's the President and he has power that Republicans don't have in the oval office. To go along at what you wanted to point out at LE, where you took his response that you think he meant only Democrats can be constructive...not only Republicans can be constructive to. At the end of the day, I really think you took that post way to personal and I believe you took it in a lot different way then it was meant. Though I can't speak for LE, I see nothing in that response that hinted at what you assumed LE meant, and a diss only to Republicans. I think that comment was directed at both parties, that are not going to work with each other, and thus nothing constructive will get done because neither side is going to budge. And even if it was, LE stated his opinion, just as you have, you should respect someone's right to their opinion, even if yours might be different And finally.... I ask everyone to be respectful to everyone here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if you do not like it, and want to debate it, then do it in a respectful manner. Present facts, present your thoughts on why you think differently if you do, but do not attack someone. I like these topics because I think they're nice to see people's different views even if they differ from mine...but I will not let people get belittled or bullied, or this topic will be closed. Topics on politics, religion, etc on forums like these turn usually turn out bad...so I hope it doesn't become that way. Haha. I didn't know my one setence created some heat. Rhizo, you pretty much covered what I intended to deliver. I appreciate it. Lysistrata, I respect you and I also respect your devotion and love for the country and its politics. I think I just want to point out that there are people with different views and beliefs out there and you should at least respect them with similar tones. I think this is what makes the United States as a great nation. Not Republican party, not Democratic party or any other political party or its hardcore standards (not all politicians truly believe them, they seem to just abide by it). People abiding by each other's belief and respecting it, evolving it, and so on, is what makes this country great. Even our Constitution and laws protect us with something similar. Of course, our government hasn't been able to do that for a long time... i.e. each party trying to satisfy only their own, and so on... Anywhow, some voters spoke of their mind at this recent election. It truly is up to the voters to speak up and let the government know what they really want. Of course, the voters will have to continue to educate themselves... I think it is soemwhat happening and it probably will happen again in 2016. Okay... I might sound naive in the political spectrum of things, but this is how I see it. I am not offering resolutions, and moreover, I probably won't be able to anyway. Now, I am not just talking about you and I here. I am grateful for the fact that you calmed your tone with me. I am sure no one would actually want to see your "much darker side." In my defense, my post didn't mean to offend anybody and it shouldn't have, unless someone made a judgmental call. I was just stating many facts/views condensed into two simple sentences. I don't get into politics much, much the less with online. May be I shouldn't have posted anything at all. But I usually come to the forum with some ease in my mind. Just to bluntly, but gently, share things I had in mind at that point. I certainly don't wish to turn our beloved forum into a series of court trials. I do enough of that during the day... My apology, if I came offensive to your belief. Nonetheless, it is my view of the current status. I hope you will respect that. I don't know you in person, but I really do like what you have portrayed and reprensted amongst us. I will continue to do that. I only wrote this not as a defense, but as a courtesy to you and others. Frankly, I didn't have to reply and perhaps I shouldn't have. But as I respect you and the others, I figured I should write something here. Sure it was... poor Obama and his uphill battles. The only uphill battle Obama has is which wedge will get him up on the green. If it was George Bush and everything vice versa, then I still would have said the same thing. I don't take serious interest in politics, but I do act and do things as a citizen should. Just different scope of views on things. No clear right or wrong in most political issues, imo. Anyway, thanks to Rhizo, Deputy A, and TK. Lastly, I know we are in a political thread, but I would like all of us to behave like gentlemen. I think we mostly have anyway. o/ IRON! o/ Weekend!

It is easily foreseeable that the U.S. is not going to be able to get anything constructive done until the next election... It seems like Republicans are going to control the Congress and Obama will be left to fight uphill battles against them. Not good at all for the people.

I think it largely depends on what you plan on doing after. Do you have any idea at all?

Losing war sucks... I am going to stay at Lv 7 TH for awhile... 1D to go! Then tons to upgrade... It's going to take a millenium.

This game is quite fun. But it takes time... Remember to request access with your name!

Other than the obvious, I have no idea who is who. Do we have non-IRON members as well?

Yeah any help will be appreciated.

Applied I am a newb at this game. So will be learning things as I go. We will see if I get addicted to this game.

It says Invite Only. So who should I bother?

I just started playing. LoL I am going to test it out. So what is the name of the clan? :3 Instead of having to read 10 pages.

If we are to do Chicago, then we better look for a hotel ASAP. DT Chicago hotels are quite expensive. I wouldn't mind doing in summer. Late summer that is, for me. For more time, next summer or this fall might work better. No Los Angeles or Las Vegas?

Well the time will be different when she dates someone else. Nothing wrong with that feel. Enjoy it and explore!

It is somewhat true that many diesel vehicles/trucks are made to do long-lasting and durable runs. Diesel vehicles generally have more torques than gas vehicles. I think it all comes down to; 1) What brand of vehicle? Some brands have better diesel engine-building techniques than others. 2) How long are you going to keep it? If you intend to keep it for a long time, like 5-7+ years, then I would suggest Diesel. Diesel engines seems to be a bit more durable in long runs. (PS: their residuals seem to hold up better as well; buy vs. lease consideration also plays) 3) Diesel is more expensive in short city drives, that's from my personal experience with my friends' vehicles. Ended up paying a lot more in fill-ups during that time. Diesel does amazing when you are on a long-trip. 4) How much is the diesel over at where you live vs. regular petroleum 5) Do you have many gas stations with diesel around you. (I live in one of the biggest towns in the world and I don't see that many choices for a diesel) - Consumer trend/somehwat mistaken belief is that the diesel is really bad. In my personal experience with various cars, I personally would just go with a regular gas vehicle.
