Generation Jobless
A cool documentary, and although focused on Canada (Toronto specifically) it also applies to a lot of other developed countries such as the US.

Be Afriad, American Conservatives...Be Very Afraid (Or, You Know...NOT)
http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-03-21/conservatives-fear-discrimination-against-whites?cmpid=yhoo I don't care HOW BADLY Obama's doing on foreign policy issues (which, for the record...yeah, he's not exactly winning any awards there...um, I mean, since that Nobel that he won that even we liberals are scratching our heads over.) If conservatives don't, en masse, change their attitude on this topic and break the liberal monopoly on the multicultural vote...YOU WILL LOSE. PERIOD.

The boston college tapes
This is a difficult one, and I'm really undecided about how I feel about this issue. For those who don't know the boston college tapes are recorded interviews of former paramilitaries in Northern Ireland who only agreed to speak on condition that they would not be released until after their death. Tapes have now been handed to law I forcemeat and some interviewees have been arrested for serious crimes. Help me out here..

Webdiplomacy Tournament 2014
I am interested in starting a Webdiplomacy tournament this year. Please post here if you are interested in joining and state your preferred phase length. At the moment I am thinking 36-72hr phases. It will take solo winners through to the next round and those in draws (the less people the better) might have a chance to join the soloists. Is anyone interested?

"No one is going to annex anyone."
Putin33, about the Crimean situation.
I don't have the link right now, but I'm sure someone wants to look it up so we can all call him out on what he was so absolutely certain about that it was pretty much impossible to have a sensible discussion about Crimea with him.

What did Draug do?
So, there seems to be a running joke about how much everyone hates Draugnar. Other tha the fact that he swears for emphasis a lot, I find he usually makes real points when he posts, and when I have had a real question regarding the game/forum, he has been downright civil and helpful. Polite even.

So what started the whole "everybody hates Draug" thing that gets brought up all the time. let the newbie in on it guys.

Draug's a good guy, but occasionally flies off the handle. People like to joke, but I don't think anyone hates him.
philcore (317 D(S))
20 Mar 14 UTC
Abge's right. The real question should be "Why does Draug hate everybody?"

Because at one time or another, everybody has been the target of his lunatic rage. It's fun to watch, and he's easy to set off, so I think that's why people fuck with him so much. We loves us a Draugma train wreck!

Draug does pick up losing, abandoned positions and does try to correct others' illogical positions, but he does have strong opinions of his own, like most of the regulars on the forum.

I think that it's more of a meme thing that has picked up a lot of momentum.
stupidfighter (253 D)
20 Mar 14 UTC
I totally get no one(or at least, not everyone) hates him. That's why I called it a running joke and put "everybody hates Draug" in quotes. But running jokes tend to have origins.

So, does abge and philcore's answer represent the concensus? That he generally aiight, but occasionally takes a dive off the deep end?

I was rather I'll for several years on the site - diabetes out of whack and a virtually non-functioning thyroid had a major effect on my personality. Even now, when the doctor finds one or the other is wandering off course and has to make am adjustment, I cam go Draugma on the site. But I am trying to monitor myself in real life and the site and take proactive measures when I sense a mood swing coming on. Nicotine helps *a lot* as does my woodworking, home renovation, and yard work hobbies. Last summer and fall, I was trying to go to school full time and working 70 hour weeks because my employer (who promised to cut back on the hours if I returned to school but didn't) decided I was essential on three projects. It put me in the hospital, I nearly lost a leg and my eyesight due to diabetic complications from it, and my thyroid finally shut down completely, so I had another famous meltdown. But everything is back on track and I have a new job with better working conditions and better pay (no longer need my bonus to male 6 figures). That's why you haven't seen any threats or rants or stuff since last November.

I havnt been a regular on the forums for some time so my info is dated. And if draug is trying to be better person more pwer to him.
I cant say I hate him, this is internet forum for geez sakes. But I have always found his input shallow and unhelpful at best, and at worst virulently racist/homophobic/misogynistic. I also seem to recall some really disturbing lecherous comments about his 15 year old neighbors, and I seem to recall him calling me faggot a bunch of times over the years which is less than endearing. But again I havnt been here in a bit so maybe hes less of a douchebag now. But insofar as you can "hate" someone you dont know, form online, I do. or did at least

"I also seem to recall some really disturbing lecherous comments about his 15 year old neighbors"

16 and 17 at the time. 15 is too young even for me. :-)

And yes, Sic, I am trying to be better and my medical conditions have improved so that I'm no the moody borderline bipolar I used to be.

@JECE - You went back 5 years for that. You realize that?

Draugnar: I went back to what was easily available in my "Replies:" page, which hasn't updated in almost a year. Plus, I think that thread was the first time I saw one of your meltdowns.
But no, I don't hate you. You're a Cincinnatian; I feel sorry for you. ;-)

"I thought I was the resident asshole"
krellin: Sorry, you still hold that honor in my book.

@krellin - How do you spray someone down with a house?

The hottie issue for me was when we were at the neighbor house and the17 year old came out in the tightest short short I've ever seen (talk about lip reading) and a tight short cropped t-shirt so that when she reaches to get something off a shelf, her side and bottom part of the boob said "Hello!" No bra and nipples like pencil erasers poking through. Then she dropped something and bent over straight legged to pick it up while facing away from me. The little bit of fabric just disappeared and she wasn't wearing anything underneath. I about had a coronary with my erection right then and there!
krellin (80 DX)
22 Mar 14 UTC
JECE - thanks for the support. <blush>

Draug, meh, spray her down with whatever you want, as long as she stays bouncing on that tramp. I mean trampoline. Boinga boinga boinga....

Funniest Joke
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guys says "OK, now what?"
