[edit] A note about attribution
Just to let you know that authors and contributers in Wikipedia do not sign their contributions - no matter how much a single author has contributed to an article. Feel free to mention your contributions to an article in your personal page, however. Lots of people do that :)
For example, you can check the Third Servile War - which is mostly my doing - and I haven't signed it anywhere - except in the history log which shows my work, edit by edit. I do kinda brag about it on my user page though ;)
Just letting you know a little of the etiquette here, not criticizing. Any meaningful contribution is very much appreciated here, and I hope you will continue to write and contribute to Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, or comments, please feel free to leave me a message on my own talk page :) - Vedexent (talk) - 23:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contributing
Hello there, I see you have made some major edits. Please make sure to use proper spelling and grammar when contributing. A good idea would be to type your edits in a word processor (like Microsoft Word) and then submit them after doing a spellcheck. If you don't do this you make other people spend a lot of time cleaning up after you. Otherwise, keep up the good work! shoeofdeath 20:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ehren McGhehey
Hi Alaric, I appreciate the work you're putting in here but you don't appear to have any reliable independent sources. I think you would be far better establishing Ehren's notability through independent references rather than summarizing the biographical details from his own website. An external link to the website is the way to go here. The minute details of his life are not really encyclopedic, so please don't be offended if I clean up the details not supported by WP:RS friendly sources. Cheers, Deiz talk 10:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello - Fuck Capitalism, Tibet, Globalization, EB, etc
Hello there, just passing by for a lil chat.
"Fuck Capitalism" Funny, because you don't live in North Korea or Cuba, the only actual economic communist nations on earth. You live in England, a capitalist nation with a quasi-socialist health care system. And by the way, for your Tibet Liberation page, mainland China is only communist in terms of government. It's economic policy is more of capitalism with small elements of socialism.
"Tibet" Brief history of Tibet. Qing Dynasty invaded Tibet in the 17th century and conquered it. They were the ones who put the Lamas in power. The Lamas before the current were ruled an absolute religious theocracy centering around Tibetan Buddhism, and dissenters were treated to the same punishment as that of the Spanish Inquisition. WW1 era KMT Republican China is losing the first sino-japanese war, so it grants Tibet independence. WW2 era Communist China defeats the KMT nationalists, and reclaims Tibet as Chinese territory. In 1949, it reinvades Tibet. In 1959, the Dalai Lama launches an armed uprising funded by the CIA, which ends in failure. He is exiled from Tibet and the PRC considers him a traitor.
"against globalization."
Onset of globalization 1989: Richest 1% Controls ~80%+ of the wealth, increasing middle class Pre-globalization 1800s: Richest 1% controls 95%+ of the wealth, tiny middle class
"This user doesn't support the use of nuclear weapons in any way." No hiroshima/nagaski, no Russian threat = invasion of Japan home islands in 1945 = millions of casualties
"EB" Rome Total War Europa Barbarorum does not have viruses that crash your PC.
"This user is a pirate." Ninjas > Pirates
Later Intranetusa (talk) 04:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hey, return
Hey there, interesting response.
My take on nukes is that if we didn't nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we would've needed to invade their homeland and still would've needed to bomb them anyways. The firebombing of Germany & Japan with non-nuclear weapons actually caused more deaths than the nukes, and the invasion of Okinawa showed that civilian casualties would be HUGE if there was a land invasion.
3 major incidents of Conventional Weapons Bombing of Hamburg = 50,000 dead directly Bombing of Dresden = 25,000 to 40,000 dead directly Bombing of Tokyo = at least 80,000 dead directly (tens of thousands more would die of wounds, starvation, weather, etc)
Invasion of Okinawa 80,000 military dead directly, with over 140,000 civilians dead An invasion of the Japanese home islands would've resulted in millions of civilians dead.
Nuclear Weapon Hiroshima Nuke = 70,000 people dead directly Nagasaki Nuke = 40,000 people dead directly (~180,000 total after people died later of radiation posioning, burns, etc)
As a counter to your original post, imagine if this was either your home or your family. Keep in mind these are non-nuclear, conventional bombings. Nuclear bombs and non-nuclear bombs kill people and destroy cities in the same way.
About capitalism, agreed. When a company becomes a monopoly and there is no competition, they can freely exploit their workers. But IMO, socialism is basically combining most of the negative aspects of capitalism in one, lol.
btw, modern ninjas vs modern pirates? :D Intranetusa (talk) 01:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Aye
Yup. But conventional bombs are so much cheaper and can be mass produced quicker. But yeh, both suck for the people being bombed. Nuclear fuel works much better in power plants. Canada turning evil? lol How big is their army? lol, here is another quote: “Socialism is workable only in heaven where it isn't needed, and in hell where they've got it.”
As for ninjas v pirates: I wonder if there are ninja pirates? Ninjas who have turned to pirating lol. Hiyarrrr! :D Intranetusa (talk) 01:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] !
Nuclear is considered 'renewable' if we build reprocessing plants and breeder reactors which are 60% more efficient and can reuse the nuclear waste...enough to last us for at least 1000 years
"If we try to supply the expected share of nuclear energy to satisfy worldwide energy requirement, a shortage of uranium would be experienced around the middle of the next century. Commercial operation of fast breeder reactors by the middle of next century will become indispensable; so smooth transition of fissile materials from uranium 235 to plutonium can be achieved. If this plutonium recycling takes place, about one million tons of depleted uranium (mostly uranium 238) that the world now possesses could supply about one thousand years of nuclear power at the present world nuclear power generation level." http://www.ne.jp/asahi/mh/u/INSCAP/FBR.html
lol, south park is hilarious..."there's no canada like french canada, the best canada in the land..."
Cuban cigars? lol, it'll burn up before you get a chance to light it. haha...that's hell, all the cigars and alcohol you can ever drink, but you can't ever drink it because they go up in flames/evaporate due to the extreme heat.
I'm sure I can find examples of ninjas who have turned to a life of pirating...lol Intranetusa (talk) 01:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
