Also on #4) it relates to #6) which you ignored. Patent and copyright law is the biggest thing holding back the free market and acts as a bigger detriment then ANY government regulation.

I disagree that the technology is not there. We have all the energy we need in the form of nuclear power. The biggest thing we need now is better battery technology. Next time I buy a car I'm seriously considering getting a Volt. They are expensive now but the price of new technology goes down quite a bit over time. HD TV's cost thousands and thousands of dollars when they first came out too, now you can pick up large ones at pawn shops for a couple hundred.

Now that being said the government giving fluff tons of money away to solar companies is stupid. The government's role in renewable energy should be realized through research at universities and not via handouts to private companies. On the flip side of THAT there's nothing wrong with solar and wind. They can be a good supplement to primary energy sources. If I could get my own wind turbine I'd certainly do it.

Since I am a Republican and this batfluff crazy lunacy is coming from my own party I'll bite:

1.) Democrats do not want America to fail. They may be wrong on some things like everyone is but they aren't out trying to cause the collapse of western civilization.

2.) Cheap oil is gone and it's never coming back and the free market as it relates to oil is a myth. The oil markets are not free because OPEC essentially operates as a trust that would be made ilegal if it were within the jurisdiction of American courts. Simply increasing production isn't going to do fluff because OPEC wants to keep prices high. If you increase production by 2 million barrels OPEC will just cut production by that amount to keep prices inflated.

3.) The futures market is also interested in keeping oil prices high. Speculators are allowed to purchase oil ON MARGIN(ridiculous) and do not even take delivery(also ridiculous). Basically you have a group of financial investors making a buck off of everyone else without actually making a product, doing anything useful, or adding any value and they don't even have to use their own money to do it.

4.) The deification of the free market is insanity. The market is capable of being manipulated and corrupted by savvy businessmen and in those situations it does NOT benefeit employees or lift up everyone as this video claims. During the biggest period of laissez faire markets in the United States we had to end up regulating because monopolies and trusts formed and working conditions as well as product safety were severely compromised. It required Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican, to go in and bust a lot of this fluff up because businesses behaved the way businesses do without regulation and that's like evil anti-competitive assholes.

5.) Conservatives need to get over the fact that peak oil exists. We don't know with any degree of certainty how long the world's supply of oil will last because demand is not stagnant. What we DO know is that humanity cannot rely on oil forever and it will run out eventually.

6.) The biggest stifling of innovation has nothing to do with government regulation. It has to do with copyright and patent law making it so no new media has entered the public domain in the last 90 years, patent trolls can patent IDEAS with no way to implement them and then sue people who actually do the work years later etc...

Chevs, you talk about the SoF of old, but the big difference is that the old SoF didn't try and bully people, the old SoF fought as the underdog. The fact that you all spent so much time talking about how you could get into a war that you were positive you would win shows the balls SoF has these days...

This is not the SoF I was apart of all those years ago, that's for sure.

Mr Charcoal's Rant (not RD related)

I would like to start by saying that I actually read the logs. Im at work with NOTHING to do for 6 more hours. This is a response to the logs, to the rebuttals, and to AT over the last few sets.

It's quite obvious the poster is anti-Laf. The entire purpose of posting is to have everyone that isnt part of LaF / SoF get angry at the statements and do something about it. No one will.

Nothing in the logs was a lie. Some statements were opinions or bad assumptions.


Lulz: Your attention seeking behavior is annoying. Please stfu. Nothing you posted was groundbreaking. LaF and SoF are two large alliances who currently have a level of control. They wish to keep that control and plan accordingly. Every major alliance has done the same for years.


LaF: Seriously, stfu. Don't feel the need to defend yourselves. Do you realize how retarded you sound arguing every anti-Laf post? Do you what you do. It's what you have done for years.

Evo: Quit whining. If you have an issue with LaF, hit them already. Tell them you are coming, tell them not to call in allies. But you can't and won't. Instead you will cry on here about a deleted account 25 sets ago or a number 1 country that may or may not have received aid.

SoF: Stop calling our pact fluff and that you got swindled. We both know those statements are a lie. Man up and stop being sneaky about everything. You Lack class and You shouldnt. Try a friendly approach, it will make the difference in 3-5 sets.

Icn: To hell with Sov, I like you.

PDM / MD: I love how you guys take the brunt of the heat in this
log yet don't sit here and cry (short one or two). You two are by far the most stand-up alliances in this game. Let the in-game actions speak for you.

RD: Im sure when you read this you will be all "Hey Charcoal! STFU" and Im gunna be like "Hugz" and then you're gunna be like "K!" and stuff.






Here's a shocker, an RD member defends LaF

2.) A bunch of PMs have involved "please don't hit me". If you dont want me to hit you then tell your FA to put TROLL on DNH :P

This drama would make a great summer blockbuster:

"The Eye of hanlong now turns to PDM, the last free kingdom of men. His war on this alliance will come swiftly. He senses the Ring is close. The strength of the Ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Detmer begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took. In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. It is close now, so close to achieving its goal. For hanlong will have dominion over all life on this Earth, even unto the ending of the world."
