Log on problems
On my other PC I can log in, but every time I click on a game or one of the links up top it logs me out and says Welcome, Guest. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

What McCain said during the last debate...
About 25 minutes into the debate McCain (in reference to townhall meetings) said, "The way Barry Goldwater and Jack Kennedy agreed to do before the intervention (touches nose & corrects himself)... the tragedy at Dallas."

What is the most controversial thing you can think of to type in here? Why is it controversial?

Sicarius was right all along is only a dispute between a minoritory and the rest. You need something to split the community in half.

I would say WTA/PPSC or Rating systems are pretty high...
Treefarn (6094 D)
13 Oct 08 UTC
I don't think that you need to split a community in half to have it be controversial. If John McCain came out and said 'Barack Obama is not qualified to be president because he is black', I don't think that would split the community in half, but those remarks would certainly be considered controversial.

Here's one.

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified in that they shortened the war and thereby saved the lives of millions of American soldiers and Japanese civilians.

Beat that!
dangermouse (5551 D)

I don't think that is a terribly controversial statement for those of us in the U.S. It certainly doesn't draw the flak that abortion and various other hot button issues do.
Invictus (240 D)
13 Oct 08 UTC
Not for most of us in the US. But I've even had a chemistry teacher say it was a war crime, unfortunately the idea is more widespread than you'd think.

I'll always support it because my grandpa was off Gibraltar on a ship headed for Japan when the war ended. He would have been in the invasion and I might not be here today. A lot of people owe their lives TO the bomb.

That's a pretty good one too.

Its not "think of something extremlely bigoted and hateful", its what have you said in the past that has drawn some flak here on Php. I know most of you are joking, but still, its pretty offensive.

I have a truly controversial statement (not that I agree -or disagree- with it)

Sex with a 15 years old (or older) minor should be legal.

Discuss.
Maniac (189 D(B))

Whoa, hang on there. Lock this thread. The above comment could be read as condoning (and some would said encourageing) an illegal act and should be taken down immediately and the poster reported to the police. Site owner it is your duty to act!

He said that specifically to point out its controversialness. Wait, that's not a word.
Invictus (240 D)
15 Oct 08 UTC
Look out, it's the Thought Police!

Xapi committed no crime. He just suggested that the age of consent be lowered. I believe Japan's is 15. He didn't say that kidnapping little girls in the park and molesting them was a good idea, and even if he did just saying it still isn't a crime. At least not in America.

I believe we have a winner.
Maniac (189 D(B))
15 Oct 08 UTC
And...I believe my statement is contraversial because anything that suggests interferring with free speech always is. Where do I claim my prize?
Invictus (240 D)
15 Oct 08 UTC
It wasn't really a Free Speech thing. It was almost an Inquisitorial condemnation, guilty until proven innocent.

And imagine what he would say in the cell if that was a crime and he were convicted?

"What're you in for?"

"I posted a response on an online forum of the game Diplomacy that ambiguously seemed to support pedophilia."

"Bend over."
Maniac (189 D(B))

so are you saying my remark was contraversial in ways i didn't even consider when i posted it?

Sex with 15 year olds IS already legal. Maybe not in USA but most other places (Here in Denmark), where people are not raised to be spoiled children untill they are 23.

Ah, anti-Americanism where none was called for. Thats not even controversial anymore Jenspo. You lose.

I have to go with TreeFarns comment, and withdraw any anti american comments that are not true.
The reason I do this. Is that he has more DipPoint than trim, thus is more rigth.

Xapi (194 D)
16 Oct 08 UTC
WHOA!

I didn't suggest the age should be lowered, I posted a controversial sentence, wich is that it should be lowered.

And even that sentence did not imply that the law should be BROKEN, but that it should be CHANGED.

I think that that is a very controverial sentence, specially because I discuss the topic with myself and I can't come to a definitive answer. Just in case, no, I have never had sex with anyone under 18, not even when I was under 18.

Anyway, if we can't question a law, and discuss wether we feel it is just or not, then we would still have to abide by every law ever made...

To pause or not to pause... that is the question
In one of my games, a user requested to pause the game as he was not able to enter moves. I have chosen to accept, but the thought of not accepting crossed my mind (one reason being that the player is in no way bound by their pledge to start it again at a certain time).

3rd Presidential Debate: Best Moment ?
For me, the best moment was when McCain asked Obama how much his fine on Businesses ('Joe the Plumber') is if they didn't provide healthcare. He really hammered Obama on it. And Obama replied "zero, I provide an exception for small businesses." McCain was just floored, stunned, and looked like a dear in the headlights, a shocked/blank expression for a full minute.
