Abusive PMs

Is it possible to block someone from sending you messages? There's a user who is sending abusive PMs to a few players who played a game with him a few weeks ago.

Not that I'm exactly getting upset about being called a colossal berk, but it's annoying when you think it might be a legitimate message each time

Tom Cotton (AR) to replace Paul Ryan?

Looks like Bannon is setting up Tom Cotton to replace Paul Ryan as speaker of the house. At least getting rid of Ryan is one part of #MAGA that I can get behind.

Sovereign rights?

I know lots of Americans talk the talk when it cones to states rights. But how do you feel about treaties signed with Indian Tribes guarenteeing their sovereignty? (What rights should they have? Where do you draw the line? - when this is happening: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58c20238e4b0d1078ca597af )

Western Australia votes, big win for "lefties" & Conservatives smashed

Massive defeat for Liberal Party and National Party, and far right Hanson Party slumps to 4.7% from 14%.

MajorMitchell (1600 )
11 Mar 17 UTC

The Conservative state government led by Colin Barnett, a coalition government led by the Liberal Party with the National Party as a junior partner has been defeated. The swing to the ALP was so strong the result was clear after only 90 minutes of counting votes. The Liberal Party did a preference swap deal with the far right Pauline Hanson's party ( our equivalent of the Trump lunacy ) Hanson's party was polling about 14% a week before the election, until Pauline Hanson's comments about vaccination ( she parroted anti vaccination nonsense from Dr Google ) and her comments about Putin, she expressed admiration for Russian leader Putin. Her party's support slumped to 4.7%
The Conservative government racked up massive debt, left high unemployment, lost the States AAA credit rating.

I think it will be interesting to see whether the Liberals and National Party confront Pauline Hanson's One Nation at the next Queensland State election in about ten months. Queensland is One Nation's home state and where they've enjoyed their strongest support.

I'm in the Bicton electorate which was one of the hotly contested ones. I live right next to the path of the controversial Roe 8 freight link that has now been cancelled. (Which won't be so good for congestion around here)

I tend to be more willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt, e.g. everyone's complaints about the deficit which given the GST distribution formula delay and iron ore boom and bust was fairly inevitable. I think McGowan will do fine though, at least this election didn't have a bizarre unpredicted outcome like we've come to expect.

MajorMitchell (1600 )
16 Mar 17 UTC

I don't know about specific local factors like that freight link project, and I don't care much whether you have a Liberal/National Party alliance, or the ALP as the State government, as long as whoever is in power runs a competent government. I got the impression that Colin Barnett was a bit of a "big spender" and whilst there are issues with the GST & the fluctuations in mining royalties, I got the impression that Barnett just didn't do enough to get his government's spending under control, and did not do much at all to invest the mining royalties revenues in the "good times" in "diversifying" the WA States economy.
I was just relieved to see Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party get an absolute flogging, to see the WA voters reject One Nation.. At one stage it looked like One Nation might get 13%-14% of the primary vote.
So we at least know that the good old Sandgropers in WA are a hell of a lot more decent and intelligent than a lot of those "banana benders" in Queensland.. Lol.
I see that flag by your player name kestasjk.. Maybe Almighty Mods should get the right to have flashing lights on their vehicles and priority through the traffic..?... Lol

Trumpcare - costs will be lower for everyone

MSM keeps failing to note that Trumpcare lowers the cost of healthcare for everyone by lowering PREMIUMS while reducing BENEFITS. If nothing is covered, then Republicans can lower premiums drastically, but that doesn't really solve the problem of healthcare does it?

Vacation

So I'm taking a week off at the end of summer and am going on my first solo vacation. I've gone on several vacations with my family, but I like the idea of going somewhere alone where I can do whatever I want for a week. Looking for suggestions on destinations for a week (not a resort - something more adventurous)

Trumpcare predictions?

I predict that Ryan's bill will fail and that Trump will continue to sabotage Obamacare by excusing penalty payments until Obamacare fails. Once Obamacare fails, there's no need to repeal it. Trump will just blame the Democrats for "failed Obamacare" and for failing to work with him on a plan to save it.

Should Trump's EPA be allowed to override state's clean air rules?

Looks like Scott Pruitt wants to gut California's clean emission standards. I'm confused, weren't the states supposed to know for themselves what was best? Why is fed government getting involved in a state's right to set its own standard?

What is the best way to reduce the amount of disinformation?

Call it fake news or whatever you want, but the dissemination of factually incorrect statements is a disservice to the electorate. We all like the first amendment and free speech, but once you have enough viewers/followers etc, should you be held to a higher standard of accuracy?
