The Free Market Working Perfectly
The government doesn't seem to have a desire to interfere in the book selling industry, yet.
So in the small portion of the massive American economy the free market is working by destroying an inefficient business model, Borders Books.

Guide to spotting weak arguments and minds
#1The Appeal to Pity.
There are starving people in Ethiopia therefore the government has a right to take whatever it wants from whomever it wants in their name.
Transparent, indefensible, and the badge of a meager intellect.

Am I dreaming?
The Redskins, Lions, and Bills are 2-0. The Bengals could potentially lead the AFC North after this week, and both the Chiefs and Colts are 0-2. Is this the same league as last year?

After the shellacking Paul took at the debate from the crowd and opponents do you think he would run as a 3rd party? Would he be as successful as Perot?

Ethics question
So I was sucking some dude's dick in the rectory basement the other day, and I'm conflicted. The bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but I can only find true happiness with a hot rod plunged balls deep into my willing man-hole. How can something that feels so good be wrong?

I want to change, but I can no longer resist my urges for wanton buttsecks with random men. Can somebody please help me?

If a game was created where a basic algorithm selected a number and which ever country guessed the farthest off, became someone that absolutely everyone would have to ally against? It would be quite interesting...

The trolling trolls initiative
Some people in this forum have now decided that the best way to combat trolls it to troll them.

As someone who hasn't trolled in 3 days and has tried to participate in political debates, this initiative has gotten very annoying. So I request that we stop it.

Most Revolutionary Person in Music
Basically lets start a debate. Who do you guys think was the the most revolutionary musician of the 20th century. To start I'm going to throw out Syd Barret.

I kind of wonder about people like, say Nancy Wilson when I think about this, as an outside the box choice. First female, to my knowledge, who had a hit where she played an instrument but did not sing. Paved the road for a lot of female musicians after her. I don't count people like, say, Bonnie Raitt who did the whole singing/songwriting/guitar complete package, although she's also pretty influential.

And oh come on, Lennon and McCartney as revolutionary lyricists? Half their stuff is the same old poppy happy love song stuff that's been done a billion and one times throughout pop music's history.
SacredDigits (102 D)
13 Sep 11 UTC
I'd go with Lennon as a revolutionary...their partnership worked because Paul could sit down at a piano and crank out a pop song every hour on the hour, and Lennon could subvert that into some interesting stuff occasionally.

A different take . . . Rogers and Hammerstein. Musical theater was the key pivot point between the orchestral/operatic tradition and the popular-music tradition as we know it today.
Ges (292 D)
13 Sep 11 UTC
You could also make a strong case for someone on the blues-rock boundary, but I don't know that music well enough to pick a name.
Cachimbo (1181 D)

@ Ges: which is why I mentioned Kurt Weil and Gershwin.
Ges (292 D)

Sorry, Cachimbo, I missed Gershwin when reading through and I don't know Kurt Weil. But it's nice to see I'm not the only person on this wavelength.

Where does Metallica fit in too? Certainly not as huge as the people involved in the rock/blues/jazz eras but they were huge in terms of defining the metal genre and pushing it to the forefront of pop culture
Cachimbo (1181 D)
13 Sep 11 UTC
Kurt Weil is the man responsible for most of the music in Brecht's plays. You probably know the very famous "Mack the Knife", which has been reinterpreted more than once and in various genres (Bobby Darin's version is quite famous).

I think some of those mentioned fall to influential rather than revolutionary cathegory and although it's hard to compare between vastly different genres, I would definitely put Ian Curtis over Cobain, Iron Maiden over Metallica and Dylan over Lennon.

First game on webdiplomacy - do you remember it?
I remember mine. It was a live non-anonymous game, I was Turkey and smetha was Russia. I asked him if he has a MSN messenger or Google talk, so we can discuss our alliance, and he just stabbed me - with Italy and Austria. I was the first out. What was your first game experience on webdip?

How do I pause?
Sorry for the seemingly dumb question, I've pressed the pause button, as have a few of the other players in our game, but the time seems to keep counting down. Does everyone in the game have to click pause? Or does pause just prevent the turn from processing?

It's our first time playing on the site, I searched the FAQ, and couldn't figure out exactly how pausing works. Thanks in advance for the answer!

Cool-headed and fair debate is what made it great, but the recent influx of trolls and flamers and just generally ill-willed people have sickened the forum, and this MUST be fixed.

Post your name below of you're onboard; NO ONE respond to trolls who post here...give them the respect and attantion they deserve--namely, none.
