A New Site Feature
I know less than nothing about how this would have to be implemented, so feel free to ignore this. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows people to "follow" games that they aren't in?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 6--Can the Giants Get A Win? Should the 'skins Change Their Name?
We start Week 6 with a game that looked a LOT better before the season started, the Giants and the Cowboys. The Cowboys and Redskins play on Sunday Night, an always-fun match-up (what do you think about the Redskin name, by the way, change it or no?) and there are plenty of interesting games with the Pack and Ravens going at it, the Saints and Patriots going head-to-head, and more. So, Week 6, here we go...PICK 'EM!

You now just deliberately misread both my sentences. I explained in the first sentence that "ignored" was a correction to "ignore" in my previous post. In my second sentence I maintained that your comment was both far off-topic and inaccurate.

My mistake. You did correctly state in this last post that "you" maintain my comment is inaccurate, because that is all you offer, your opinion. I on the other hand provided a specific number and a source. You offered nothing at all which is typical of a pro-communist, deny deny deny without any supporting evidence because of course what I posted in a fact and you can't refute it. You offer only opinion which is worthless.
Emac (0 DX)
09 Oct 13 UTC
That's 20 million citizens of the Soviet union killed in peacetime by the communists in control and the source is Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. You never posted anything to refute the JECE and you also offered no link at all to support your contention that the Czar's killed more in a corresponding time period. Your hypocrisy is typical of a blind, ignorant defender of Soviet communism.

"Meh. Rockwell and Rothbard both had their right-wing phase in the early nineties, but it didn't last long"

Because Rothbard died.

"obviously does not represent Rockwell's views today"

I don't think it's obvious to anyone who reads Rockwell's blog.





JECE (1248 D)
09 Oct 13 UTC
Pro-communist? Ha ha. No I'm not.
And yes, I did offer specific criticism. You mentioned an uncited statistic from an organization known as the CNRS which, from your representation, does not make any claim regarding Soviet police officers, neither pre-Stalin nor post-Stalin. Hence your evidence does not "provide even remote evidence" for your claim that "police kill[ed] people indiscriminately . . . in the old Soviet Union."
JECE (1248 D)
09 Oct 13 UTC
And I wasn't saying anything about the Czars either, ha ha. "Pre-Stalin" was supposed to refer to the Stalinist era, but it could just as well have been a reference to the Civil War or, to a lesser extent, the Leninist regime.

"knows nothing about nothing" Ahhhh...Putin, our brilliant educator (who tells us he hates children, and blames them for all the problems in the education system, even though he confesses to giving passing grades that are not earned) -- tells us someone knows nothing about nothing. In other words...a meaningless statement. He is referring to how much someone knows about nothing....which of course leaves the possibility open that he knows something about everything...even everything about everything.

Putin is a retard...he is not worthy of respect in any form...only the derision of all. His understanding of history, basic political philosophy, pretty much everything is so perverted it makes one think that he must be a parody of something, for noone can be this much of an ass clown...

"Can you provide an example?"

Sure.

Lewrockwell.com frequently has posts by Marcus Epstein. Epstein claims to have been inspired by the white nationalist Sam Francis (he wrote a eulogy for him on Rockwell's blog), pals around with Jared Taylor, frequents conferences with the most fringe of the conservative movement, and is a frequent contributor to VDare.

I'll let people judge for themselves and simply post links to his articles on both VDare and LewRockwell.com.

http://www.vdare.com/users/marcus-epstein
http://www.lewrockwell.com/author/marcus-epstein/

This is really only one example of many. It hardly makes it obvious that Rockwell somewhere along the way turned a new leaf and ended his "rightwng phase". The Paleoconservative and Paleolibertarian movements appear to have interchangable parts, with members of each commenting in each other's magazines, blogs, and forums, with a high level of mutual admiration and respect. The most recent article on LewRockwell that I read was a piece by Pat Buchanan blaming crime on black people and hispanics. Kinda hard to shed your image of being rightwing when you have such commentary on your blog.
Emac (0 DX)
10 Oct 13 UTC
Putin specifically mentions an article by Pat Buchanan and then claims it blames crime on black people without providing a name of the article or link to it. Does the article really exist? If it does exist does it do what Putin says it does? Is Putin totally full of shit? One thing is for sure, Putin is a total hypocrite for not providing a title or a link because he berates others for doing the same exact thing.

"Lewrockwell.com frequently has posts by Marcus Epstein."

Marcus Epstein hasn't had anything posted on LRC since 2005. Before that, there are a whopping 18 Epstein articles over the previous 4 years - that works out to 4.5 per year. I would not call that "frequent", particularly for a website that posts new content daily.

"It hardly makes it obvious that Rockwell somewhere along the way turned a new leaf and ended his "rightwng phase"."

For a better perspective on the Paleo Alliance of the '90s:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/2002/05/lew-rockwell/what-i-learned-from-paleoism/

"The most recent article on LewRockwell that I read"

That's a rather small sample size there. And anyhoo, LRC posts articles from "leftist" authors like Glenn Greenwald and Russ Baker and others at least as often as it does paleocons like Buchanan.

Shoddy Peer Review in Open Access Journals
As reported in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full):
Open Access Journals may be more likely to accept suspect papers (as they are paid by the authors) as demonstrated by Bohannon, who submitted a clearly false paper to several hundred journals, to be rejected by less than half.

Support holding a unit which is supporting another units move?
If a unit is supporting a move, can another unit behind it support hold it or does that not work because the unit it wants to support hold is not holding?

Say Rumania wanted to support move a unit but I wanted to support hold Rumania from Bulgaria would that protect Rumania or would it not work?

A Nobel in Two Pages
Physical Review is making available for free the papers that won the Physics Nobel Prizes this year (for the prediction of the Higgs boson). One of them is two pages, and the other is three. That's not so uncommon in physics, but it's still remarkable how tersely a great idea can be communicated. Here is the link for the interested:

Yes, we can service our debt and not default on our credit without raising the debt ceiling. Just like YOU, the individual, can prioritize your spending at home (say, cancel cable when money gets tight)...so can the Fed. QUIT LYING OBAMA AND ALL YOU LIBTARDS!
