I know of that habit, which is why I have a ctrl+a, ctrl+c, ctrl+r,ctrl+v ritual when replying to your posts, so I didn't get too far with it. Still, post it anyway, it wasn't bad at all (though I'm extremely sceptical about any wartime alliance betwen China, Russia and NK, or any variation like China + Russia). And with the current posters in Kavars being such a pain that I might finaly get to use my ignore list...

Let's just say that it would be much more fun replying to your post.

before you say anything, I noticed this before the ban. could you please, please, shred Ten in this thread http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=201379

Luckily not (they have a habit of killing recruits), being technically a Norwegian citzen, that's where I'll be serving. As for branch, I'm aiming for the army, hopefully I'll get picked for urban specialization.

Can't remember the post completely, so I'd almost have to see it again. Only thing that commes to mind is that you should keep in mind that the US is not the only country who might decide to interwene should things get hairy.

Entering a rather hellish exam period which will last until 10 dec, so won't be replying to the TARP thread (or anything in kavars) untill then, if I forget about it after that, feel free PM me.

Not war, just standard military service, not every country has a volounteer army

I envy you, when your field of study is bananaed up places, staying in the least bananaed up place on the planet is not exactly ideal.

@:Edited for cencorship

I'd argue in favor of the UN (though not without getting a bad taste in my mouth), though preferably in a new thread. And you hit the nail on the head with China, they aren't allied to NK anymore than the US is allied to dictatorships who, if they collapse, would bring more pain than gain. Speaking of which, we might need a "does-China-have-the-US-by-the-throat" thread, as I disagree with that. Anyway, you probably want to get some sleep now, and in case you don't, if you want to bounce ideas it might be a better idea to do so on skype.

Just bungeled into Kavars (and one thread in particular) which made me realize A: why I left and B: that I haven't talked to you in ages. So when can I expect to find you on skype?

Here I am, minding my own business while concealing the fact that I'm best buds with the Kavars mods, and for that reason can get away with anything. Then you get the fantastic idea to make me an offer I can't refuse.

What where you thinking???

*insert proper greetings, how-are-you-doings, etc*

yes yes, I know I have been MIA for too long, however I have finaly got my hands on ME2 while almost finished with ME, so just a tiny question for the resident MEophile: is there any way to let the council die (sencible desicion) without ending up with a system where humans are dominant (which has awfull paralels to integration into the soviet union after liberation, only worse for humans as they are outnumbered and outgunned if against the rest of the Citadel races), or more precisely, where (male) Shepard creates one such system/says he wants it. Answers are prefered as snappy as possible as I'm off to the last planet as we speak, err I write.

When I finish ME2 (and AP), as they where the reasons I left. Yes, I'm over-sensitive to spoilers

Do you really expect me to believe you? I demand proof:D Seriously though, I was just poking fun at Bee.

Thanks. As for me being russian, I'm russian because I live in Russia, just as I was a South African while I lived there, and an American once I move there:D

yup

So, Dev passed the message on? Another reason not to trust him:P Considering that you're the only malay here, anyone poking fun at you would make it an international hobby. Anyway, your sig seems to indicate you don't mind poking fun at others, so no hard feelings, m'kay?

Heading there to get a nice education, so of course it'll be legally, and scratch the two years, I'll probably be drafted, so make it three.

And no, I'm not proud of my heritage, it was no achievement of my own, and so I see no reason to take pride in it. That doesen't mean I won't integrate, I'll folow the laws, pick up what I like of the culture and understand what I don't like.

As for fighting for liberty, while I'll defend it while I'm there, I'll probably head to a hell hole to fight for it (or some other cause, the US is hardly the place where it's needed most).

Because as you have only just joined the elite, I didn't find you worthy:D

So whats up with the whole "all hope is lost" thingy? Have you finaly joined us cynical bastards?

Blank stares? As in failed icy looks?

Know the feeling of having a subject stuck in the brain, I find myself screaming at TV/newspapers reporting from developing countries embarrassingly often I'm also shocked that some people doesn't find comparisons between Indian and Chinese famines/malnutrition interesting...

I'll probably go for economics, suitably enough known as the dismal science, it doesn't exactly help that tasks tend to be along the lines of " a million people are going to die from a hypothetical famine, how do you ensure that only 990 000 die . Sociology would be more fun but I'm sorta suffering from utilitarian guilt (it tends to sting when I don't do what is "best", annoying as hell), and since economics is more useful...

Plan B is to redo some subjects, study medicine and join the doctors without borders, It'll kick inn if I can't do enough good while studying. To avoid that (I'm not a terribly good student) I'm getting into as many do-gooder organisations as I can, especially those concerned with debt and trade (boring but efficient). This also means that I do more yelling at politicians than trying to be a politician

More damage to the table since you had to ask, might more to do with it being partly rotten than the thickness of my head

Just asked about the killing thing because my friends doing medicine sorta came up to me one of the first days of studying, grinning widely while going "guess what we learned today "...

So what will you do with your medicine degree? Go all Mengele or something slightly more moral?

Merry Christmas to you too, whether you celebrate it or not, though if you are still in aussieland, I doubt you have a choice:xp:

*Looks at length of reply*

Oh, and I suddenly got way too much leisure time:blush2:

You missed my point, seeking knowledge, fighting for freedom, being tolerant etc are not "atheist" traits. The religious are just as likely to share those traits, so limiting yourself to recruiting atheists seem like a bad move.

I seem to remember you living in Belgrade, and since I (and most of my fella development students) will be heading there in not too long, I'm looking for fun/interesting stuff to do while there. So if you feel like wasting time giving advice to a lazy norwegian, it will be apreciated.

I prepare to move to make benefit glorious motherland, making internet conection poor, and mood even worse:D. Seriously tho, HIV tests, half a billion tonns of paperwork (in triplicate), "protecting my PC" (from the horrors of free speech), indoctri errr interwiev to make sure I don't cause trouble etc, and It's more than 2 weeks before I move:firemad:
