Century Of The Selfish Sheeple: The Meaning Of The World As A Risk Board Game And Cards

[Openeyes777]

you are also a jackass!!!! the game is a game of skill but also of chance.. i think that chance had something to do with why you won!!! not skill or anything close to it!!!

[POLYMORPHLEGION]

all games/cards is luck. there is minimal strategy involved in any card game or board game. cards/board games = BORING! and is an excuse for people to get together without really having to get together... good conversation interupted by "your roll"!!!

Hey Lapaglia.... I hope your not Jewish when you find out about Lt Col Murray C. Bernays and his role in the Nuremberg Trials and the reason for his being there. And on a personal note reminding me of myself when I discovered the brainwashing Bernays slight of hand... you need to calm down ... these people dont want to here it... dont forget.. they are brainwashed. Very few of us will wake up to it without total denial.

lol

Same thing happend to me in other games!

I may be youger then you but I always have begginers luck. And when I don't know how to play game, I freaken OWN people. When I learn it, I suck.

DRLAPAGLIA, from this video I could not tell whether or not you are in favor of a select few ruling over all. As a believer in Natural Selection I am, and so would any other logical person. If the majority allows an elite few to rule, then those few deserve to rule.

i don't believe that he had "no idea" what the rules were, how does he know that high rolls win, or that armies attack adjacent countries? i believe that he might not have had any experience or put much thought into it. i think his moves could have been significantly more random (which would be what they would be if he didn't know the rules at all).

[DRLAPAGLIA]

BenlGreen, I had literally 'just been introduced' to the game of "Risk" in my entire life. I'm 24 years old right now, seriously, I never had the game in front of myself EVER, and yet, somehow, I managed to beat everyone else for some reason! LOL! I had to 'learn on the go' sort to speak.

[BenIGreen]

Sure, but that's different than NO idea. I was just questioning your conclusion that your victory over presumably more experienced opponents suggests that risk is a primarily luck based game. I am somewhat known amongst my friends for picking up all kinds of games very quickly. Maybe you have a similar knack for games. Maybe your opponents weren't very good. Least likely, but still possibly, maybe you just rolled improbably well, it does happen.

Longest period of time America has gone without dropping bombs on someone: 2 years

[DRLAPAGLIA]

We are keeping the population in balance. You buy things you don't need on credit, the military bombs a village to "Balance The Accounts". The bankers that own this place (and us) have to do this to sustain society. BOOM-BUST-WAR - you think that's a coincidence????????

[sugarpuddin88]

History is replete with quotes from bankers who financed both sides of wars

Eisenhower was very specific with the public when he warned them of an American Military-Industrial complex

I feel America will fall completely no matter what; and never get up due to a faulty education system (& tsunami of retirees)

[DRLAPAGLIA]

AAARRRRGGHHH!!!! NOOOOO!!!!! The education system is PERFECT!!! You get what you pay for: USS 2-601 Perfect Tender Rule. The goal is to make them stupid because that makes the most managable human cattle.

[sugarpuddin88]

Haha!

I always know it's you when the comment starts with, "AAAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHH!"

Seriously now, I strongly urge reading the book, The Leipzig Connection

[DRLAPAGLIA]

I get mad because I've become so cynical, the cynicism turns into pseudo-anger, heh. Mathematicians run the world, that's how it is. However, could you tell me the author and a quick description of "The Leipzig Connection"? I know heavy financial commercialization has been centered in Frankfurt for quite a bit of important world history, but please tell me your thoughts on the importance fo Leipzig. I'm all ears and curious.
