@Xapi - I wasn't having a serious go at you. I just wanted to make a contraversial statement of my own - so I thought that calling for you to be reported for your comment would do the trick.

Ah, Ok...

Now I have a controversial statement, Maniac and "me mad? are you insane?" are the same person, and both accounts should be banned for multiaccounting. Even when both accounts have not played a single game together...

That is an even funnier post! How stupid can you be?

having sex with girls under 18 is OK according xkcd: http://www.xkcd.com/314/
Standard creepiness rule: don't date under: your age/2 + 7
so if you 20 you can date 17 year olds
if your 18 you can date 16 year olds.

I once heard that in the USA a 17 year old with a naked picture of his/her self was charged with the possession of child porn and classified as a sex offender. Anyone know if that's true??

so you're saying its not creepy if a 60 year old dates a 37 year old??

not me, xkcd. I'm just quoting.

@Xapi - ok it's a fair cop - it's true "Maniac" and "Me mad? Are you Insane" are indeed the same person who have never played against one another. I/we have a multi-personality disorder, it's a mental illness and I think banning me/us would be discriminantry.

sceptic_ka: yes, it's true. not because they might be distributing it, even - just because they have it.

circumcision is sexual abuse of children

I know what would get my blood boiling. Social Darwinism, a.k.a. Eugenics.

"People with genetic disorders should be sterilized."

As a side note, the legal age of consent here in Canada is 14.

George W Bush, Tony Blair, John Howard et al are war criminals

George W Bush, Tony Blair, John Howard et al are not war criminals

The world would be a better place if Germany had won World War I.

That should generate some discussion given the interests of this game.

phpDiplomacy is a waste of time.
Now that's controversial enough...

I am the Mayor of Dublin!
That always annoys someone.

I don't believe things would be that different if Germany had won the first world war at all. Sure superficial things like language and UN(or whatever came along in that parallel universe) HQ might have eventually been in berlin. but the general march of industrialization,socialism,democracy,globalism, Humanism, decline of the Christian church, etc ..all those things would have been marginally different, maybe happened slower,quicker but the underlying trends would be the same.

IF Germany had won the second world war things would be a hell of a lot different.

I disagree. British-U.S. ties would be drastically different. The U.S. would not have shaped the post-war world, Germany would. The state of Israel would not exist. Japanese imperialism would have taken a very different form. Japan and the U.S. could very well have been allies.

You can make judgments on whether those things would be better or worse, but the world would definitely look different.

what kind of an idiot would create this topic?
