In reply to: MikeKnight.com 's message, "DX v FX" on 18:47:28 01/01/02 Tue

FX is better than DX I think because it makes you learn about more more important issues("more", as in greater number AND greater importance). Let us analyze DX v FX questions:

1) "Will the India-Pakistan war be averted?"--great FX question, allows for some deep analyzation; and the closest DX equivalent: "Will Democrats and Republicans kiss and make up?" seems bland in comparison. This exposes one reason why FX is better: more variety allowed in speeches.

2) "Will Argentina's economy collapse?" Although Arg. is a crazy nation to keep files on, this question would allows you to use a "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" intro, which is just plain cool. Or wait. Never mind. Not cool. But "Will America's economy collapse?" C'mon. Though I could make up an intro there, it would be reaaly bad. Even less cool. Thus, FX speeches allow for crazier intros. Examples: Bring it On, fairy tales, The Prince, Star Wars, Frosted Flakes

And now I need to do other stuff, so yeah, two "extensions"--I think. That is a policy term, so I don't understand. Policy is crazy. But I guess that belongs on a different forum thread.
