Impending Potential Awkward Moment
I have, FOR HISTORICAL INTEREST ONLY, placed a hold on "Mein Kampf." Soon, I shall have the joy of checking it out as quickly as possible and hoping nobody will see me (my library system is self check-out). Anyone else ever have the fun of getting your hands on a copy?

Where Would YOU Nuke the World?
If you had one nuke, where would you let it off?

For the sake of this "game," you cannot give the same location as someone else, and for the sake of argument, the nuke is about as powerful as the Tsar nuke.

A modern variant idea
Having played Dip in person for quite a while along with several variants of it, I have often wondered why a variant has never made the game more 'modern' while maintaining the richness of simplicity.

Enemy in a Thread....Enemy in a GAME????
Recently learned that someone that I frequently disagree with in forum threads...you might even call him an "enemy" in the threads....took over a position in a game I was in. At first, per the normal course of Diplomacy...I tried to coordinate with him....and yet his moves were specific and aggressive....

Plumbing...
Of all home repairs, plumbing is the task that I despise *the most*. Water will always seek the easiest...and most annoying....path. I have ripped out carpet and laid down flooring, done electrical, painted, wall-papered, done gas lines....but off everything I do, **plumbing** is my nemesis. For any plumbing project, it is *three* trips, guaranteed, to the Home Despot..

What is YOUR least favorite home chore/repair?

A scenario that I'm unsure of - need explanation of results
If during spring I move an army into an SC province and then in autumn I move said army into another SC province but get bumped back from that second province, retreating back to the first SC province, would I still gain ownership of said first province even though I retreated back to it or would I, in that case, not have ownership of either SC province? Thanks for your input.

@ TNT (yes, that's what I'm calling you)

See my OP. This is exactly what I'm talking about. How would you feel if you had a daughter and she was out giving it away at 14? And presuming you feel differently (because almost everyone does) *why the fuck is there a difference*?

@ damian: Aww, I ♥ you too.

Because, a boy is like a key and a girl is like a lock. If a key can open up many locks, it's a master key, but if a lock is open by a bunch of keys, it's a shitty lock.
@smiley: I say now that I wouldn't care if my future 14 year-old child was having sex regardless of gender, but that might change when I'm actually a father.

...I was being facetious...

I agree. I don't agree at all with the double standard men and women have with sex. Although, tbh, I don't notice it much with the people I'm around, although they do tend to be more liberal and intelligent than main stream America.

The one thing I will say is that women do have the risk of becoming pregnant, which is a very serious risk. It isn't fair, but a women should take added precautions because of this. In a perfect world, the guy would pitch in 50% if she does get in trouble, but we all know this isn't often the case.
☺ (1304 D)
13 Aug 11 UTC
That's true, abgemacht, but I'm not sure a significant enough risk, probability wise, to draw substantial differences, given that you use protection. Regardless, the issue can easily be muted by discussing oral sex instead - the same feeling prevails.

And I thought you might be being facetious, but there wasn't anything in your post that indicated so, other than the sheer idiocy of that statement. Sorry I misunderstood you, but it seems like I wasn't the only one. :-)

Well, in the past I've used ": )" to indicate when I'm joking, but as Draug's recent thread clearly indicates, that doesn't work either, so I stopped using it.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
13 Aug 11 UTC
You're right. There isn't the double standard because of the risk of pregnancy. There is a double standard because people are sexist. I'm just pointing out that women do take on extra risk when they have sex. That doesn't mean they shouldn't do it; they just need to be more careful.
☺ (1304 D)
13 Aug 11 UTC
Meh. I think you're just pushing for more threads calling you an asshole.
Just for the record, I knew abge was being facetious.
Rommeltastic (1106 D(B))

@ Abgemacht It's not a sexist double standard. Men are generally more inclined to sleep around than women are. It's biological. Because of that the culture has evolved to fit that mould.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
13 Aug 11 UTC
Whether or not they're more inclinded isn't what's at issue.

What's at issue is that, in general, society labels men that sleep around as studs and women who sleep around as sluts/whores. Why is that OK?
Rommeltastic (1106 D(B))
13 Aug 11 UTC
Because it is different from the accepted norm, the very proof of this is that there are almost NO male whores.
damian (675 D)

"Because it is different from the accepted norm, the very proof of this is that there are almost NO male whores. "

Ha ha ha,

But seriously, just because you don't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It isn't as visible a profession as female whoring but believe me it does exist, and is more common then you think, a friend of mine was offered a ... almost legitimate sounding job, doing just about that but in high society manner.

I'd really rather not get into to many details but yeah.

I'll probably give the discussion a chance to branch out a bit more before I chime in on the main topic at hand, because ☺ summarized most of my thoughts so nicely.

Rommeltastic (1106 D(B))
13 Aug 11 UTC
I know, I have a friend who works in a casino who always get's approached for "Service" while he's waiting for the bus. I guess it's just the uniform he wears and his smashing looks. But yea, I think that part of the reason is the inclination of the job towards women.

@King Atom
you say you are ready to get trolled. This whole thread is simply trolling you in that it's not about you anymore. Jesus, just get with the program. ;)
Now, back to the important issues of this thread; I'm pretty much of the opinion that people shouldn't have sex at all unless they're prepared for the possible consequences. Whether or not you take precautions, there is no 100% effective contraceptive other than abstinence. This is why I personally wouldn't let my kids (regardless of gender) have sex before they leave the house, or have a steady job.
