Why is Terrorism the only time people feel a visceral response?
I noticed recently there was an incident where a man crashed his car into multiple people injuring many and killing someone. But because it was not terrorism, people did not seem motivated in the same manner against alcoholism as they would have if he were a terrorist. If he had indeed been from any Muslim country at all, and also under the influence of alcohol, one has to wonder if people would just automatically assume it was a terror plot.

American reporter arrested for asking questions to Trump HHS Secretary
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/10/business/media/reporter-arrested-tom-price.html

Freedom of the press is an integral part of the 1st amendment. Just wondering how rightwing media handled or ignored this story about Dan Heyman, the reporter that was arrested for asking persistent questions to Tom Price, HHS Secretary.

On how PPSC scoring does not encourage players to throw games
In our recent discussion (threadID=1432961), many mods and fellow pillars of the community claimed that when you have two Great Powers in a game that have between 12 and 16 supply centers, one of these Great Powers has a (D) points-incentive to throw the game. I disagreed and this puzzled my fellow users, but only Lethologica took the bait when I explained my position. Here it is again:

Brilliant minds can have terrible assessments of others Zmaj. Whether or not some President liked Robert E Lee doesnt change the fact he fought to preserve slavery. And did so fiercely to destroy the enemies of freedom.

This thread has gone off track to the military prowess of Civil War generals. That point is debatable. Importantly, New Orleans did the right thing and got rid of their Confederate monuments. Good riddance.

Keep telling yourself that liberals are marxist psychopaths who want to massacre the populace like Pol pot. If that makes you feel infallible. Feel free to buy slaves, prostitutes and wave a nazi flag too. Thats your idea of liberty and happiness.

You don't consider Teddy Roosevelt great?

Teddy Roosevelt was great. If the Republican Party could return to its platform and policies during his era, that would be great.
Hauta (1618 D(S))

Well, the policies during TR's era would seem reactionary by today's standards, but if you point was that the Republican Party should adopt the progressive spirit that TR demonstrated, then I agree with you @leon.

I dont need to characterize todays Republican party as dictatorial. I found yesterdays comparison of democrats to polpot horribly disrespectful. To imagine the democrats want 25% of the populace to die in slavery and starvation is the height of ignorant hate speech. I almost complained to the mods.

Juggernaut is actually a horrible alliance
Despite the fearmongering ive seen in Press games about Juggernauts over the past 5 years ive been here...I cant help but note its low rate of success and how its paranoia often benefits France or England most. Please share games where Juggernauts fail miserably. But also include ones which work out in a 2wd (if there even is such a situtation)

Is it Treason to sympathize with the Confederacy?

Are there any otherkin on this site? I'm genuinely curious to understand this culture more. If you identify as something non-human, do you think you have a right to get the privileges that all humans deserve? Or do you believe you're in a separate category and thus have different standards and base rules to start off with?
