Turkey Bans Twitter
I'm guessing it will take another week before CNN catches on to actual news since it doesn't involve the plane.

So yeah, fascism in Turkey... pretty cool.

Replacing Participants in Ongoing Game
I am using WebDiplomacy as a teaching tool. After having started four games, I am hoping to substitute participants in my place in each game. How can I do this? Thanks in advance

Bingo tax cuts and a penny off on pint
Guess who I'll be voting for next May?
In truth I'm still undecided, but if they bring in allowances for whippets and flat caps, they'll have my vote. I don't feel patronised at all. What other measures aimed at the working classes would make you vote Tory?

Personality types (Myers-Briggs)
All you diplomats I'm sure must be interested in how people in the real world think. I ran across this a few months ago and it's really cool to look up comparisons between types and read about certain types. At first I was scared of something along the lines of a horoscope but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Since I Feel Bad Telling People to Shut the Fuck Up
Here's a thread. If you're like me and have that Bible shit muted because you don't give a damn what "god" thinks, it'll be the only one on your forum bar because they won't shut up in there.

But I'm not telling them to, I'm just making another thread.

Re: Noah's Ark:

Does anybody accept this story in the literal sense? i.e. that a man lived 900 years and the earth flooded entirely and there was a boat full of animals to ensure the continuation of all species?
I'm beginning to question locking that thread. Anyways, my post.

There is evidence to suggest that the story is true - that it reflected not a flooding of the world, but the breaking of the Bosphorus and creation of what is now the Black Sea. One of the places that people search most often for the ark is the Caucasus and Turkey.

Thank you YJ. Here's a +1 for your troubles.

Abge, I'm pretty sure the facebook god is a better god than the one people in this country choose to believe in. https://www.facebook.com/TheGoodLordAbove

Now I'm going to go smash out some "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grave to your male white-skinned, white-bearded god, who has a white-skinned, black-hair/bearded son that happened to be born in the Middle East where people don't just magically have white skin and black hair all that often.

See you in about 5 minutes.

Well, I don't doubt that some flood somewhere happened and the story could be based on that. What I'm talking about is the exact literal interpretation as stated above.
What would Jesus do? Well, he'd log on to Webdiplomacy and start preaching the Good News to a bunch of people who really don't give a shit and just want to play the damn game.

Yeah, the Euphrates flooded big time and the Semites wrote about cleansing humanity as a metaphor which covered up their slaughtering of the remaining hunter-gatherers of the area when they wanted more land to farm.

A lot of cultures around the world have devastating flood stories. Why the fuss about one more or one less? It's not like there isn't going to be a lot more once the ice caps melt off.

Both movies were absolutely incredible (spoilers within)

Referendum in Crimea
Well, as predicted, the result of the Crimean referendum went strongly in favour of the option of leaving Ukraine and applying to become part of Russia. The US, EU and others have denounced the poll as illegal, but it appears that the majority of people living in Crimea genuinely want to join Russia. So, what now?
