Bug check?
Well, I'm not sure what happened (although I'm guessing some save error so it wont' show up in any logs) but I somehow ended up with an army in Naples rather than the fleet that I thought I'd ordered.

This professor doesn't sound like the smartest tool in the box.... and he thinks Obama is a socialist, sounds like a by-product of a failing capitalist education system

The Golden Age of Diplomacy
Does anyone else find reading Sharp's "The Game of Diplomacy" really depressing? The level of dedication and analysis that he presents in the book would never be found today. Does anyone even talk about diplomacy theory anymore, or are we just left to reading relics of the past?

Homework this week
Your homework this week is to speak to an octogenarian. We won't have them for very much longer and so I think it's important for young people to meet these guys.

Hippies aren't quite the same. They're uptight in a way that the people older than them weren't.

ATTENTION ALL CONSERVATIVES...
Speaking as a conservative myself, conservatives, if you had to go liberal on any topic of debate, what would it be?
redhouse1938 (429 D)

Lol.
Freedom of expression.
redhouse1938 (429 D)
19 Jan 14 UTC
Freedom of religion.
Freedom of creating an enterprise.

Coming to think of it, conservatives are often much more liberal than many liberals.

Social issues in general, but then I lean towards a more liberal view when it comes to societal responsibility to those who can't care for themselves and the freedoms of all people rondo whatever they want as long as it does"t infringe on others freedoms.
Ogion (3882 D)

This is kind of an interesting topic, since conservatives and liberals seem to disagree on what the conservative and liberal positions are here.

As a liberal myself, I'd say that the liberal position on freedoms of expression and religion are pretty much what we have, in that the government is only very rarely allowed to restrict speech (note, that's different from social pressures), or promote a particular religion (I'm curious how people feel about religious exemptions from general laws. As a Buddhist, can I get an exemption from paying income taxes that support militaries as a contravention of the doctrine of non-harming, for example?)

I think that in fact, some of these different brands of conservatives don't agree. For example, small government conservatives probably like the idea that the government doesn't promote any particular religion, while certain religious conservatives love the idea, provided it is evangelical Christianity and not some other religion.

Altogether an interesting question!

@Draug,

So you're a liberal on social and fiscal issues, but a conservative on everything else?

Where the fuck did I say liberal on fiscal issues? Try reading for comprehension this time.

Draugnar believes in the freedom of people to rondo, semck. It's perfectly clear.
Draugnar (0 DX)
19 Jan 14 UTC
If you think taking care of those who can't tale care of themselves is fiscal liberal, then you aren't paying attention. If you can work, you don't get a free handout from my view. I made that clear when I said "can't tale care of themselves". I didn't say "won't" or "don't" or "don't want to" take care of themselves. I'm talking handicapped, children, widows, etc.

Feature Idea
So, I play a lot of live games, and I make a lot of them. I would love an option that would let players make games where any NMR in the first year is an instant cancel. So, that way there's no situation where a Germany NMR's and England/France/Russia take advantage and go on to become monster powers.

How to deal with people taking advantage of CD
Well, yet again, we have a situation where a country solos because its neighbors go CD from the outset, everyone else is completely sporting about declaring a draw.

Perhaps some kind of ban on new games for a couple weeks or something for this kind of cheating?

The Foundation Series
I (at the suggestion of a forum member, who's name I forget but will hopefully identify themselves), just read the first three books in the foundation series by Isaac Asimov. After calibrating my block list by reading through a recent gun control debate thread, I'd like to ask forum dwellers for their take on this series, or at least the premise.
