How does the mute option work in this scenario:
If I mute a player, will it in turn mute any threads he/she may create in the future?

I mute everything in the forum except for game-related or threads (I'm here for the game, not for...that). It takes a chunk of time each day to do that. If I were to mute users rather than threads, would it save me from having to mute any threads they may create in the future?

I'm back to Webdip and setting up a game
I've taken a long break from Webdip, but I'm back! I'd like to set up a game: Classic WTA, preferably anonymous but not necessary, and a decent bet (250-750). I'm sending out invitations to some people I've played with in the past, but I'm happy to take on the new crowd. If you like to join, please reply.

I wonder if we scoured the internet for video's of this, I wonder....just wondering...if we might find some common elements that are common in each attack? I wonder....some common element that, were it reversed, might cause the media to call this by a different name that isn't so cute...Just wondering.

Maybe some of you might look at some videos and give me a hint...because I think I'm missing something about a common element that isn't being discussed...

Google "knockout game" and watch some video, report back on your findings if you dare...

Just curious, mind you...I'm not sure of the answer. Maybe some observant soul could help me out....my eyesight is a little bad.

I wonder if maybe the honorable Rev. Al Sharpton might know?

I'm not going to search for the videos krellin. But I wonder if this could be tackled by offenders being held to the common purpose doctrine? If one victim dies, all attackers are guilty of murder.

That might bring the seriousness of the incidents into perspective.

Maniac - may we should apply the Putin principle, whereby all the members of a group are guilty for the actions of one, is that what you are saying? Of course applying ILN's observations...

Honestly, why is the media not covering this in a serious fashion?

Better yet, why are all of the cry-me-a-river race relations advocates in the webdip community - (You know, the ones that like to condemn all white men as guilty when some Hispanic dudes kills a black kid) - why are they so quiet about this?

"Is It Bad I'm laughing at these videos? I know it's horrible but it's kinda funny."

Yes, that's bad. There's nothing funny about this; not even in a haha-yes-i-realize-it's-horrible-but-it's-still-funny kind of way.

Not funny at all. People have been killed. It happens in Australia too. And white people (Aussie bogans) do this for too, for sport. The penalties should be severe. If someone dies it should be considered murder and the perpetrator should get life.

@krellin - I was thinking more about holding perps to account for a joint enterprise. Race etc doesn't come into it. If three guys go to rob a shop and one carries a knife and kills the security guard. All can be guilty of murder.

As all these perps seem to have a common enterprise ("the game") then all should be accountable if one person dies regardless of who delivered the fatal blow. It is important of course for law enforcement to let people know that if they participate what the consequences could be even if their victim isn't badly injured.

Maniac what the fuck are you talking about. If you murder someone and your friend is standing next to you, they don't put him up on murder charges.

@Maniac - The onyl reason I bring up raceis because our oh-so-fair-minded WebDip community is so quick to condemn every white person in America when a Hispanic guy kills a black kid....but when we see a growing trend of black youth assaulting White (primarily Jews), not only does the media not mention the clear racial component, but further, they call it a *game*. I'm just very curious as to why all our Noble Liberals around here that are soooo concerned about race relations are so f*ing silent on this one....

SYnapse - You are simply incorrect on this. In some cases the murder is charged to both parties - it depends on the circumstances, involvement of each party, the zealousness of the prosecutor, etc.

The actus reas of murder is to end somebody's life. Simply being in the vicinity of a person who dies isn't good enough.
Maniac (189 D(B))
25 Nov 13 UTC
@SYnapse - I didn't say you could be held liable for a murder just for being in the vicinity of the murderer when it happened. I gave a specific example of people going to rob a shop and the security guard getting killed. As the robbery was a common endeavour the results can be pinned on all the participants.

Not in the UK at least. If I go into a shop to steal and my friend goes psycho and kills 20 people, I didn't murder them and no judge would say so.

NFL Pick 'em: Week 12: The Home Stretch Begins
6 weeks left, and they all matter. The 2nd AFC Wild Card team changes by the week, the Chiefs and Broncos look like they'll go down to the wire on the division lead, and 11/16 teams are still within a game or two of the playoffs. In the NFC, the Lions try to hold off the Bears, the Giants suddenly look like they might make it back in a weak NFC East against the Eagles and Cowboys, and my Niners...better right the ship this Monday Night...so pick 'em...

Can Someone Explain Filibustering?
I get the basic premise: if you're in the minority and you feel strongly about something, you can talk for a long time and hopefully bore everyone to death. What I don't understand is why *threatening* to filibuster has the same effect.
