The Great Debate: Mujus, Crazy Anglican, Nigee, semck, SC vs. My Fellow Atheists?
It seems as if we have a new wave of vocal and talented Christian thinkers, who certainly seem as willing as I to type on the matter, albeit from the other end--so, care to debate, say, 2-4 Christians vs. the same # of Atheists, on a thread w/ a neutral moderator, we each give an opening statement in succession (say, 500-1000 words or less), one rebuttal per person, and then open it up for questions, side with the most +1s for their comments "wins?"

Thats fine obi. I will need to be told everyone's emails though if I don't have it since I don't have mod status to look you up anymore.

And that's alright Mujus, 10 days is nothing really.

I worked on the debates late into the night last night and will be continuing to work on them today. They do take quite a while lol but I'm determined to do them. So stay tuned.

It's the general tone and argument you want to address, not each individual thread. Once you've got that 1+1=2, you don't need to move on to proving 1+2=3.

I am actually kind of excited that this has taken so long, because I don't really remember what I wrote, much less the arguments of my worthy opponent. Will I find myself saluting the rhetorical power of a slightly younger me? Lamenting missed opportunities? Agreeing with dub and questioning everything I've ever thought I believed?
Thucydides (864 D(B))

Yeah I don't address every single point the debates brought up; frankly I feel that would make for laborious writing as well as reading. I simply stated which was more convincing to me and why.

Ezra Willis, here's what you do. Scroll to the top of the thread where there are four buttons arranged like so:

|<< . < . > . >>|

Hit the |<< button, read through page 1, then press the > button and read page 2. Go through the thread like that. It's a fairly entertaining thread.

Sexist Pig, Re-Heated Family Guy Leftovers, or Fresh New Take--McFarlane as Oscars Host?
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/closeread/2013/02/seth-macfarlane-and-the-oscars-hostile-ugly-sexist-night.html So the reviews for the Aesthete Super Bowl known as the Oscars are in...and pretty much it's an even split, some loving the job Seth McFarlane did and others, like Ms. Davidson here, finding his turn as Oscar host incredibly offensive...and "misogynistic" seems to be the chief complaint against him--agree with that, disagree...your take?

Potential Multi Issue
I'm new to website after playing a few IRL games, and my housemate who also works at the same place as me is probably thinking about joining. However, I know there are issues relating to people using multiple accounts, and if that's done by IP address is will most likely look like both our accounts are the same person's.
What's the best way for us to avoid this, or who should I contact to discuss it further?
Thanks!

For the easy payment of 15 D, you can enjoy the chance to rule the world with The World Wide Schlieffen Plan ( http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=111246 ) . If you can take 10 minutes out of you day for possible world domination, than this deal is for you. In fact this deal is just to good. I'm gonna have to put a time limit of 7 days for this. I would wait that long though. there's only 13 spaces left.

Looking for some advice. My wife says I should wash second-hand clothes before I wear them, in case there are bugs or something in them. But is that going far enough? What if there are demons in my "new" corduroys? Should I exorcise them first? Pat Robertson says better safe than sorry.

Michelle Obama presents Best Picture Award
Cult of personality much? Can the Obamas refrain from inserting themselves into every damn corner of American life? Who thought this was a good idea--among both the White House staff and the Oscars producers? Can we leave politics out of anything? Why were military personnel used as props in a banal entertainment industry awards program?

Seriously, how is this not creepy and inappropriate?
