How about we suspend a metric buttload of automatic air fresheners to balloons, and set them off to counteract smoke from all the weed these guys are on.
I agree about the roads, or at least if you neglect your upkeep they could fall into disrepair instead of making road problems just a random event like it was in Civ IV. The only interesting comments to me in the review are:
1) The vague explanation of social paths, which I'm confused now if these are just civics or if this has been made some kind of a victory condition such as culture in Civ IV. All he noted was that he just still didn't understand it.
2) The zoom out to planetary view doesn't exist anymore. Maybe he skipped a branch of tech as this was enabled after tech researched in Civ IV.
Some of the review is wrong. Anyone who has played through the first turn of Civ IV can tell you that hit points and experience points are not new and every unit has them, including the 2 starting units. He also made comments such as the game being boring and turning on automation. It would have been more helpful to get a review of a sequel from someone more than a gamer with a casual interest and questionable level of experience, but those are some really nice screen shots anyway.
The USA once was great and still is. Like pretty much every other country, there are moments in history where mistakes were made and atrocities were committed. You weren't alive then, so it isn't that you haven't moved on. The issue is you are such a hypocrite, you would blame others for spreading propaganda, when you spread your own with similar posts like this one.
Some of this was said before to which you didn't have an answer, but I'll feed the troll again.
About Hawaii you are completely spreading misinformation. "During the Hawaiian Revolution, a few American troops landed to protect American life and property. They did not engage in fighting and did not occupy any government buildings. However, this action has lead many historical revisionists to falsely claim that the United States invaded Hawaii and deposed the Queen." -http://www.conservapedia.com/Hawaii
Regarding Native Americans... "It is a firmly established fact that a mere 250,000 native Americans were still alive in the territory of the United States at the end of the 19th century." -http://hnn.us/articles/7302.html White people definitely killed a number of them but disease was a huge factor. Even if there was enough evidence to prove the occurrence of genocide, which there is not, it does not serve the interests of anyone to make such accusations.
Enslaving people on another content? I suppose you meant continent. You can discredit the USA based on their past for ever owning slaves, but the American Civil War was fought mainly on issue of slavery. Many of our forefathers lost their lives fighting for the freedom of slaves. Slavery was abolished as a result of their sacrifice and today our country is led by an African American. There is not much to dispute the greatness in that.
Fighting Canadians? You realize that was to attack a British colony like over 200 years ago right? That was a little before WWII... in the the beginning of the revolutionary war.
So in summary, please stop with the propaganda that the USA was not once great bull crap. It was a great country and still is.
Uhm... how about the most powerful ionospheric heater in the world? It also differs in operation from all other ionospheric heaters that diffuse ELF waves into the atmosphere. HAARP can focus the signal from acres of towers into one spot in the atmosphere, which is quite different.
Meaning that it only affects the ionosphere where atmospheric particles are much closer together than in the thermosphere.
The ionosphere is part of the thermosphere... We are launching a probe in 2012 to do research into the irregularities there that we don't fully understand. Meanwhile, the military is doing what they do best. Shooting at it. They just shot a billion watts at something they don't know much about. Just because it is a
conspiracy theory doesn't mean it isn't true.
It is an interesting to me that the HAARP project was brought online a year before these severe contractions of the thermosphere. Although I'm sure the conspiracy theories are over the top, it would probably be dumb to disregard the fact that there are no other explanations right now as to what is happening to the atmosphere, but during this time period the military just happened to conduct an experiment against it.
A recycled tube train is tough, weatherproof and small enough to fit into a plot of land in a crowded city
I am not a backyard architect, but even if this modular or prefab home was cool looking like a Rocio Romero and was able to meet laws and deed restrictions, if this is any sort of nice urban place, you would probably be instantly hated by all of your neighbors. I like these kinds of houses though and also took an interest to tiny houses and some of the modern designs at freegreen.com. I unfortunately just can't build one in my neighborhood, and would have to build it in the local trailer park, which is a low class area I would not want my child to grow up in. As much as I dislike having my cookie cutter home, there are other factors to consider.
The message I get from all this is that computers really aren't ready for prime time. They're more like automobiles from the first decade of the 1900s.

My name is Donald Knuth. And if you study with my 8 week program, you will learn a system of self defense that I developed over two seasons of fighting in the octagon! Its called Don Kwan Do!
When I was younger, I had bad vision and they told me if I continued to stare at the computer screen which at the time was a CRT television, that I would end up requiring glasses. Despite the fact that I have gamed extensively for the last 27 years and now also sit for 8+ hours in front of multiple displays at work, I have 20/20 vision.
As for your comment about over-use of the brain, it was my understanding that we do not even fully utilize our brain. I think the human body is more resilient than most people give it credit for.
Most people might, if they had the money left over from so many others competing for their entertainment dollar. I don't mean to sound stupid, but I conversely and robustly positively don't understand what that from the second study means. On the other hand, proactively quantifying the synergy facilitated by that paradigm is a win-win situation for future-proof vertical markets, and I find that quite empowering.

"We've also highlighted some pink flags"
Is that close to a fuchsia, because I like totally need a flag like that to match my new outfit.
I think it is possible that could hide malicious code in the. It could even potentially words from sentences. In Soviet Russia you.
I see it is much easier to mod me down than debate, so I win. Go USA!
How does this contradict? Relevant quote please?

Sure buddy. For the uninformed... "Cookie cutter" or tract housing is this thing that has only been around for a few centuries.

This is more popular in American culture, but I don't internationalize every post because I'm not insane. Hope this helps...
