If you just want to power slay, guthan is pretty much outdated right now, I would keep it though as it is still decent for general playing purposes.

4 tries here :mrgreen: Having sup rest restoring special pts might be a bit overpowered I think, just go range nomad, fire titan does help after your tort runs out of brews, hell my titan dealt the finishing hit on him.

He is not wrong about one thing, you CAN have more than one baby, but you have to endure stress put on you by both your family and the government with a heavy fine(5k or something? No idea). You lose education benefits+free medical care, so yeh you could but it is almost always a bad idea. Believe it or not but we do, it is considered a great dishonor to have sex/pregnant before getting married, but it is still not enough, a forced population control is the only way to go.

Bahahaha, now that is an interesting competition, gratz Corr

Not a huge problem? Say that to me when you are paying 60% taxes for health care comparable to a 3rd world country. I see hardly any benefits - the population will slowly shrink only to have to rise again to sustain the economy, and people lose the freedom that many happen to value. I am interested in where did you get the figures from first of all. Secondly because of the fact that Chinese people save roughly 50% of their income, this added with pensions will pay for their retirement. The population is not shrinking, it is growing slower than before, the population control reduced the population by roughly 300 million people, this is huge. Imagine finding houses/work/food for all those people. Also this was enacted when the People's Republic of China was first build and it was very fragile, a huge population is not something the government can deal with. China may very well break down quite sometime ago because it cannot bear the burden of such a huge population just like what is happening to India right now.

Not a huge problem, the policies have only been enacted for around sixty years? The benefit of the policy is greater than the negatives.

StarCraft 2 is anything but slow :P BTW, anyone know any good Zerg build against a standard marine + marauder rush that doesn't involve roaches? I tried some variations of baneling builds, but I'm not so great at micro'ing them (they seem quite intent at suiciding directly). Roaches are going to be your bread and butter mate.

LOL. if you don't have enough food\water, communism isn't going to help. If it's never worked before, why would it now? With an exploding population we are not going to have enough food/water. :mellow: I think I should have said a one party system I guess? China is not exactly a pure communist country, the decision making process is just faster. Let me explain the repurcussions of an aging population. I'm going to make up some stats here obviously since I don't know the real ones. China has a one child policy... so look at it this way. Earning period is 20 - 65. These people pay, directly or indirectly, for healthcare for those 65+ Right now, the majority of china's population is in the 20-65 zone - aka baby boomers. In 20 years, the majority of china's population will be 65+. Basically a minority of the population (say 40%) will be working, trying to generate the funds and sustain the economy to help provide healthcare and services for those no longer earning. With this one child policy - there can never and will never be a sufficient number of people in the earning population to support the elderly population - and at that point huge healthcare cuts will happen, and a global recession is likely, as this is happening in almost all developed countries. So yes, China's population may go down....but at what cost? A two child policy would make far more sense here. Cool thing is we are, right now if a couple marry and both does not have any siblings, then they can have two kids. I do know the con of an aging population as it is a subject that has been discussed to death. Lack of a better word I guess, how about families send their elders?

With an exploding population we are not going to have enough food/water. :mellow: I think I should have said a one party system I guess? China is not exactly a pure communist country, the decision making process is just faster. We do have health care, the elders are treated pretty well unless they are dirt poor, don't see how this have anything to do with freedom.

I thought we had a calculus test today so I spend the all of yesterday night studying instead of hanging out...turns out is next Wednesday. :wall:

I would perfer something like you get three free name changes, after that you have to pay for it.

Where the alternative is to have exploding population, I am not saying I like it, but it is a necessary evil. PS: How does freedom have anything to do with I have said? :blink: Is not like if you do not go there you will die.

Hey China is not doing so bad, we just put the elders in retirement homes and it cut down the cost by a ton. Also because of our culture, it is very unlikely for us to have accidental pregency, hell some of us stick to the tradition of not having sex until we get married.

I think the only thing I got out of all this is that I finally realized how awesome my RS character is. I mean before I was just doing quests because I love questing, but I never realized how much of an impact I was making on the world. Now Xenia made me realize hell yea I did some impressive stuff, I guess this kind of put my perspective in order once again. :thumbsup:

Just goggled it and Oh wow...I remember that wedding, bahaha I really like that guy now, CR better get him to join.

Of course, except India would NEVER do it because of their democratic government. Here is when communism is more benefitual than a democracy.

I like my women as I like my VCR, it has been here for a long time but it will never be obsolete. emos.

What racism? I am currently in the Southern part of USA and like the only Asian guy here. Most people gape when they saw me like I am that awesome, which I am of course.

Sir, if you really feel this is a problem, feel free to make a thread in CD. I have left this thread since what we are discussing is off-topic and I suggest you do as well. If you refuse to do so because you think the mods will be "biased" and lock your thread, then please, try to understand why people dislike YOU(hint hint, not titans revolution or any of your other staffs), YOU so much.

Zezima was dating Elianstp? Wah? More details?

I am more interested in the 300QP reward.

Protip: Farm your herbs and then make pots with the herbs, you train both skill at the same time! Protip #2: Seems like your problem is that you do not have enough money, L2makemoney! Protip #3: Summoning is one of the useful if not the most useful skill in the ENTIRE GAME. Also there is just something wonderful about seeing something that is twice the size of you pummeling your enemies.
