who's in ft lauderdale florida for the next two days and wants a drink on philcore?

I'll buy you a drink if I know who you are (from here, that is - obviously if I knew you IRL I'd just call you ) and want to meet up somewhere close to where I'm staying.

I'm a lot of fun to meet up with when I'm on vacation. Nigee can confirm.

NFL Pick 'em: Week 8--the Niners in London Town, Romo/Stafford, and the Pack Back on SNF

So I missed posting for Thursday Night Football...but if everyone didn't already have the PANTHERS over the Bucs anyway...get out. Elsewhere, the Niners look to crush, erm, stomp, erm, play the Jaguars in a highly competitive game in Wembley Stadium (who do we always give London the bad games?) Romo's Cowboys and Stafford's Lions both have something to prove, the Vikings have to find a QB, all this and more, so, Week 8--PICK 'EM!

You are posting the same message again, please don't post repeat messages.

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but this useful feature which prevents your browser from posting your messages repeatedly when you did not intend to do so is missing something; it is missing a semicolon.

This isn't discrimination. There are too many cars in the world and different countries sometimes ration who can drive on certain days. No one complained when Paris stopped cars with even numbers driving on certain days, no one said the authorities where being Evenist? This is just rationing, men are allowed to drive cars until 2468, and women are allowed to drive cars from then onwards.

Ps the French police didn't arrest drivers with a zero on their number plate as they didn't know if it was even or not.

"Compared to most of the Muslim world, this is tame."

Citation needed. What's frustrating is that Saudi Arabia is an "ally" of the American Imperium, while Iran - where 60-70% of college graduates are women - is so evil on account of its misogyny that it needs to be bombed.

Octavious (2701 )
26 Oct 13 UTC

Call me a crazy idealist, but surely 50% is the equality we should be aiming for? 60-70 seems a bit skewed.

Xildur (2284 )

Every Islamic countries are oppressing women.
Not only Saudi Arabia.
They force women to cover their bodies, and for some countries, their faces as well.

Maniac (189 )
26 Oct 13 UTC

xlidur - you are correct that some Muslim countries apply force subtle or otherwise to their women in an attempt to make them conform to their ideals.

Do you think that women in western cultures arn't subject to subtle force to make them reveal more skin, look sexy, stay thin, not be too pushy, etc etc.

Octavious (2701 )
26 Oct 13 UTC

If there's pressure in western cultures for women not to be too pushy, it ain't bloody working!

Draugnar (0 )
26 Oct 13 UTC

Or to stay thin. Have you not see the "empowering" plus size stores and messages of beauty involved with phrases like BBW? So beware the FGAS if your single and on the dating sites. No, Oprah has made certain women today have the power. Of course Western women always had the power. Men will do whatever they say when sex is involved, hence the phrase "behind every great man is a woman brow beating him into submission."

As far as a citation... Do I really need one when any Muslim country that runs on Sharia law by default puts women as second class citizens or worse? But if you really need more, check out "Not Without My Daughter" with Sally Field to get a feel for how women are treated in countries with Sharia Law or, if you have time, read the book. It is a true story.

Is Draugnar really attacking large women?

"o I really need one when any Muslim country that runs on Sharia law by default puts women as second class citizens or worse?"

You really need to stop posturing about your supposed concern for women being treated as second class citizens.

Draugnar (0 )
26 Oct 13 UTC

I was doing no such thing. I was pointing out the flaw in someone else "we force women to be thin" argument. Now I will attack the FGAS and I blame Glamour Shots for that one which means I blame society in general for being less accepting of persons of weight..

But driving a car will end virginity! (m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16011926) Wait is this cleric implying sex IN cars or sex WITH cars?

There is a certain equality in western advertising: eg m.youtube.com/watch?v=85HT4Om6JT4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3

"But driving a car will end virginity!"

If the driving style in Saudi Arabia is anything like that in Egypt I can well believe it.

Does everyone cheat in this game?

Once again, I am playing a game in which there are "anonymous" players, and no "in game" messaging, and there is obvious collaboration. Is this standard? Do players believe that because it only states "no in game" messaging that it is okay to have "out of game" messaging?

Playing with 2 accounts

I am playing with some friends the online game of Modern Diplomacy.
One of our friends has stepped out of the game. He gave his password to another player/friend so that he can play for him. So this player is now playing under his own account and also on the other account of the friend who is already out of the game. Our question now is, is this allowed?
