"from the innocent people who were just going to work to the firemen trying to save lives to the passengers on the airplane that crashed it into a field in pennsylvania, before it could hit the white house"
- Yanik the Panic mentioned this and then got banned, is this a conspiracy because we know this plane actually got shot down, does everyone accept that now. Isn't that what the F-16s guarding the White House supposed to do though.
I would be more concerned if they had not done their job ..... I'm not sure if this is still questioned in the US or is it accepted now?

Not your worst, Nigee, but that's definitely not your best try at humor...

^It's wiki-official that the hijackers deliberately crashed the Pennsylvania plane.

@NigeeBaby How are people supposed to tell when you're pretending to be ignorant?

Why is there 2 F-16s guarding the White House and what are they supposed to do when a plane is flying towards the White House and why would terrorists head towards the White house then crash in a field a couple of miles away, are we not ready for the truth yet or is it still too hard to take that US war planes would actually shoot down US passenger planes en route to crash into the White House?
if it didn't happen what were those planes doing that day, on holiday?

Maybe I've watched too many seasons of 24, but I would expect a passenger plane to be shot down if it was known to be terrorist controlled and possibly packed with explosives.

I think this is the general feeling... unless I'm way off base here. Like tendmote said, I'm not sure if you're pretending.

If Flight 93 was shot down, why would anyone cover that up? That's actually more reassuring to the public at large than leaving matters to passengers.

If 911 happened under Obama every Republican would be a Truther.
"what are they supposed to do when a plane is flying towards the White House and why would terrorists head towards the White house then crash in a field a couple of miles away"
This might be convincing IF it were true. For those not familiar with the geography of the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, the distance between northeastern Somerset County and the White House is well over 100 miles. It's not as if the plane crashed somewhere in the DC suburbs.

"are we not ready for the truth yet or is it still too hard to take that US war planes would actually shoot down US passenger planes en route to crash into the White House?"
This is just silliness. The American public at large would have hailed the fighter pilots as heroes and schoolchildren would be learning their names from kindergarten right on up (okay, maybe I exaggerate; they might wait till 2nd grade to insert that into the curriculum). That's just how we do things in this country. The idea that we can't stomach the idea of a fighter jet having shot down the plane is remarkably lacking in insight.

"You still support a party full of conspiratorial traitors."

I think they have a law that says you can only fire one Nazi symp royal per royal house.
"Why didn't he get fired for that?"

"Ooooooh! "Conspiratorial traitors" is it, now? "

Yep. Have you been living in America these past 6-7 years? Have you been paying attention to all the shit your people have invented and thrown around since Obama was elected? Hell, since before he was even elected.

"And the Republican Party is "full of" them, no less"

Uh, yes. High ranking elected Republicans at all levels of power frequently engage in conspiracy mongering all the time. Virtually every paid agent/pundit of the GOP does so. Talk radio is full of it. Fox News is full of it. The Steve Kings in Congress are full of it.

You support these assholes. That speaks volumes about you.

And spare me the crap about nuance. A party is a group. You can't line item veto 90% of the clowns in your organization, support it, and then congratulate yourself for how moral you are. That you support this vile, wicked, disgusting, fascistic, retrograde organization that is filled to the brim with Clive Bundy supporting rednecks who can't countenance a non-white person in the White House speaks to how much filth you are willing to put up with.
Putin33 (111 D)

I apologize for calling the GOP fascistic. That's an insult to fascists everywhere.

Looking at having a real cash buy-in. First, second and third places receive a cash prize, proceeds go to the site. Additional prizes for best country, and a few other notables (best stab, etc.). Maybe getting the site to put an emblem on your profile page (after all, we're paying money) for awards earned.

Most supply centers in a single turn?
So recently, I was in a game where I was able to convince someone to give me his 3 home centers, another center, and support me to 3 centers occupied by other nations in a single turn, all so that he would survive the game. I went from 11 centers to 18 all in one turn. Do I was curious, what's the most supply centers everyone has captured in a turn. It would be difficult to do more than 9 I think, but I guess not impossible?

5 min "live" game questions
I'm pretty new to the site and intrigued by the "live" 5 min cycle games. Are they literally 5 minute rounds or is there a lot of pausing? Do people communicate over the messaging system during them? In general, how long of a block of time do you need to set aside to play in them? Thanks in advance, any advice is appreciated.

What has The Internet done to Education?
I don’t have kids, and I was just about out of college when the Internet struck (collecting my first paychecks elsewhere as Netscape went public in 1995), so I have never had any experience with what The Internet has done to education. Do students bother learning facts anymore? Is Google everyone’s external brain? Does anyone know anything? Is everyone a plagiarist? What gives?
