However, when discussing current outlooks and relationships, there's really not much there in common between Polar and the other two.
That should be changed, in my opinion.

I was the Joker last year and my daughter was Batgirl.

Because by being boring and not doing anything they're dragging the rest of the game down with them.

God planted them there to test the faith of Martian Christians.

To NSO members: If you had such little trust for GATO, why the $%&@ did you hold a treaty with them? Nothing more retarded than seeing people trashing those they were allied to not even 24 hours ago and saying !@#$ like "we knew you weren't going to activate your treaty". Why the hell would anyone keep a treaty with someone if that's how they felt? You guys boggle the mind.
Because it was never my call to sign a treaty with them? Because I have personal opinions that can sometimes differ from that of the rest of my alliance government? What's so mind boggling about that? We're not a hivemind in NSO.

We knew damn well GATO wouldn't help us, Bran-Muffin. Their track record pretty much telegraphed what their next move would be. I didn't expect them to shoot themselves in the foot with that PR disaster of a treaty cancellation, however. I guess they just wanted to be totally sure that their infrastructure would be safe during all this.
-
The fine print is there for a reason. GATO's cancellation, whatever one may think of it, was 'legal'.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's not scummy. The whole buildup to war took about 12 hours or less. Overnight on a Sunday, no less. The acted as if this thing had been brewing for a week and we just completely neglected to tell them anything. They used this as an excuse to slime their way out of the treaty. A treaty we weren't even going to ask them to honor anyhow. Not that we thought for a second they would anyway. At least I know I didn't.
Oh and don't get me started on the blatant hypocrisy of GATO telling someone that 12 hours is too long to wait for something. These people call an alliance wide vote when deciding to change the drapes in their congress hall.

I would have fired you for being a smart-$@!.
(Then again, I once fired someone because he cheated on his wife.)
Why?
-
Have you any reason to suggest that they are? You can't just reject things because they don't fit with what you want to believe.
You can in America. Here we have museums that teach that Earth is 6,000 years old and people used to put saddles on dinosaurs and ride them. Scary part is that it's not taken as a joke by many and they actually believe it.

I wonder what right wingers would say about Obama if he had a different middle name and had never left the country before becoming president. There's always calling him a socialist, which isn't completely untrue. But they'd at least have to drop the whole "Secret Muslim terrorist non-citizen saboteur" bit, which is crazy. I've questioned a lot of what he's done, but some of the accusations about him are beyond comprehension.
I don't even see how he's a socialist. He's not even all that liberal. He's kept most if not all of Bushes policies intact since taking office.
-
Well to be fair, neither dinosaur actually ever existed. Their fossils were planted in the earth by Satan in an effort to destroy our faith in Jesus.

I've been to Vietnam twice. Once in 2001 and again in 2002. Had the time of my life.

Sorry. :-(

The Moldavi Doctrine proclaimed that the Red sphere was the sole property of NPO, not that they'd protect all unaligned red. You're thinking of the Revenge Doctrine.
-
Omni hit the nail on the head.
How can NSO be a part of the "Ex-Hegemony" if we were never in the Hegemony?
-
Supergrievances already is the hegemony. That's pretty much clear. Also, they're totally propping up Gramlins. Doesn't bother me much because all it's really doing is killing Gramlins.

Chicago is likely gonna take it all. I hate even typing that as a Detroit fan. The thought of that sorry Hossa skating around the ice with the Cup sickens me.

He won't do it. He's CSN and therefore a complete coward.

LOL, I'm in.

That's not the same thing. We're talking about an omniscient deity, not a time-traveler. It states in the Bible that God knows everything that is going to happen in your life, to include when you will die. If that's the case, what difference do my actions make in changing that outcome? The answer is it makes no difference at all. I can sit on the couch my entire life drinking alcohol and doing drugs, or I can live a healthy life with diet and exercise. It doesn't matter which path I choose because God has already plotted out when, where and how I'll die. I have no free will to change my destiny.
It makes no sense to me to say, "Oh you have the free will to choose which path you'll take in life, it's just that God already knows ahead of time which path you'll choose."

Light can't exist without darkness; without darkness light would have no meaning.
Good can't exist without bad.
People were given freewill -- the opportunity to make choices.
To make a choice there must be opposing states of whatever is in question.
I choose good. If there were no bad then I would have no freewill to choose good and my 'choice' would be meaningless.
People have not been abandoned by their Creator. People are given the gift of freewill and the opportunity to choose good. If there were no opposing states then a person's choice to know our Creator would be meaningless because that would be the only choice.
How do we have free will if God is all knowing? If God knows what we are going to do, then in what sense are we free?

Well that was a vague poll. Better in what?
Everything.

This exploded in your face nicely.
