Old Guard
The games coming up saying "newbies only" etc lead me to do this. Next friday I'd like to start a couple of new games, and I was wondering:
Can I find 7 people with 3-digit ID's? How many of us are left?

Palestinians, Israel, the US, England, and the World- The Crisis
This thread is to discuss the current situation on the Gaza Strip, who you think is right and wrong, if you think there is a right or wrong, and what you predict the world will do and what you think the world should do

Try to be somewhat respectful, even if it's hard; I know it's a hot issue for some (me included) but do try and stay somewhat civil.

Very fast game (1 hour)
If anyone is up for the commitment of sitting down and playing a quick game (I expect turn deadline to be 15 minutes even if they are technically an hour) please respond. I will put up a password protected game if enough people do.

Obama and Africa
This is a serious thread. Will Obama be effective in helping to bring political stability to Africa? Bush did more than any other President for AIDS relief and debt reduction, among other things, but will Obama be able to actually expand this to getting the African people the governments they deserve?

Wow, that's incredible. I bet there will soon be a Muslim Terrorist Communist State in the US.

How did you not notice that before to warn americans to vote for McCain?

I believe you have failed your duty to your country, and the right thing would be to commit seppuku right now.

but... seppuku isn't patriot-like! unless you are japanese...

Anyway, you should immediately gian support for your crusade against obama. once mccain finally gets into office he will then die of a heart attack, and obama will get back in?

By the way, I should admit I actually voted for Obama. I've just been yanking Tarablus' chain. Although I do expect some redneck to attempt to assassinate him, I don't support it. My primary reason I voted for Obama, though, was because I felt Palin would ruin us and the pressure would give McCain a coronary within a year. That and McCain's health care plan fucking sucks.
Invictus (240 D)

I'm glad to see you don't support assassinating the President of the United States. Way to take a controversial stand.

He'll be fine. I hope he's voted out in four years but he'll be fine.

Captain Dave (113 D)

I hope amonkeyperson is talking about bin Laden (cos that would make a lot of sense!).

It makes me laugh that 1) the Republicans tried to claim Obama is a Muslim, and that Americans believed it and 2) anyone any further than a little to the left of extreme right-wing is labelled a 'Communist'.
Oh, and that Bush was given not just one, but TWO terms!!
Oh, and that we in the UK seem to learn more about US foreign policy than they do in the US - at least that was the case about 6 years ago having watched the news in the US.

Although at least you guys finally have an elected leader (unlike us)!

Jesus guys. That doesnt mean hes raciest. For all you know he himself is obama making a joke. Or he could be muslim. Or he could be a raciest fuck. Just because someone blantly blurts something out in a non-joking manner doesnt mean hes being honest you know.

Ah, how little has the human race changed in its existence that one is still prone to judge due to a name.

I believe a man once wrote: "Would not a rose by any other name smell as sweet, so too Romeo would, if were he not Romeo called."

I think that author knew a little something about writing.

So yes- rather troubling that still you judge a man because his name sounds like, to a certain degree, a terrorist.

And hating because he's a MUSLIM (which Obama isn't anyway, but let's play along here for a bit)?

You know I am a HUGE Zionist, HUGELY pro-Israel and
anti-Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah.

But I DON'T hate Muslims- Muslim is just a title, Islam is just a faith.

All titles can be distorted to mean something ugly, and all faiths can be exploited and twisted to fit the desires and philosophy of a villian.



James Buchanon, Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon- all
"American-sounding" names: all, in their own way, failed presidents in the end.

I don't care if the man is named Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, or Reagan; the name doesn't make a good leader.

A good leader makes a good name.

Cheers, Mr. Obama- and the best of luck restoring our country

In draugner's original post, he is not just talking about the President with the fnny name, Don't overlook the fact that Joe Biden is part of his observation. Some MSNBC guy in the tank for Obama since day 1 even made that mistake during the Demecratic convention. He said something like "Osama bin Biden .... uhh I mean Obama bin Biden" and was so embarrased about the Osama part, didn't realize that he still said "bin" in the middle. And this guy was in LOVE with BO, so it definitely wasn't meant as some kind of insult.

besides individuals are never the biggest terrorists.

first lets define terrorist.
I would say a terrorist is a person or group of people that uses violent, but mostly symbolic actions to terrify another group into fear and compliance. yes?

following that logic bin laden doesnt touch israel, or the US, or iraq, or iran, or UK, etc.

A question for the super-experience
In my experience, Russia getting Sweden in the first year puts Russia in a very strong position. I would go as far as saying that the first two years.

Has there been any research/thinking on this? Is there any evidence to back up my gut feel (based on the fact that Russia always wins when I play, and I cnnot convince Germany to block the overrunning of Sweden)?
