Anwar Al-Awlaki
The United States has assassinated an American citizen, never having been charged or indicted; this has sent a precedent that anyone the government deems a "threat" by a legal analysis the government won't even release can be blown up from the sky. There is no outcry or even discussion among most Americans; he is a terrorist. When people exchange liberty for security, they deserve neither.

Deleting supply centers
If I was to delete some supply centers on the map to improve balance and to make the map less unit-crowded, I would delete centers in Rumania, Denmark and Portugale. What do you think?

Ulysses, James Joyce
So, I'm reading Joyce's Ulysses this week as part of my studies. It's a renowned and controversial text so I figured many of you here would have something worthwhile to offer me on it. Although I expect and welcome a fair amount of comments of ridicule - I hope some of our more scholarly contributors might be able to offer me an insight/judgement or two.

"If *I* Say Its Too Hard, Joyce Has Clearly Failed.*
^True quote from a guy so pompous even *I* can't stand him (who claims to know all about...everything, and knows nothing, INISISTING English people wore no pants or anything of the sort until Henry VIII, and that tarring a guy's ball's is ESSENTIAL to understanding Huck Finn...not kidding, he said this)
1. If a work is "too hard"/unclear to you, your fault, authors's fault, or both?
2. I argued you should read such works twice, he said bull--opinions?

StP Fleet NC in Builds 1901
When would it make sense to build Fleet StP 1901 instead of an army there? Isn't the army there much more flexible and useful? My point is that Russia cannot hope to mount a full offensive on England this early - and certainly not a naval one, so isn't his best hope in the North to mount a flexible defense while spooking Germany into helping him? Even when he succeeds in doing so, wouldn't Germany play the major naval part with your original fleet supporting from the Norwegian?

Iran-U.S. Relations
The Iranian government won't provoke the US into war because Iran would not win. Iran's nuclear ambitions result from a regional struggle with Saudi Arabia and having a weapon would increase local prestige/power; Iranian possession of a weapon is certainly not a threat to the US, and is less of a threat than to the US than Pakistan's weapons are.

NFL Week 5 Pick 'Em
Cocnkey topped the field of WebDip NFL Experts--sure, we're experts, right?--with 14 games picked correctly...congrats! (Full standings inside!)
But its a new week! The Jets and Pats enter a game neither can afford to lose with the upstart Bills at 3-1! Buffalo can drop Philly's Dream Team to 1-4 with a win! Oakland, Houston, Tampa, and San Fran all play as upstarts trying to gain standing! GB@ATL in the nightcap, and DET@CHI on Monday Night! Week 5...PICK 'EM!

Shit, this is an absolutely horrible week if you were one of my picks. I mean, Giants lose to Seahawks, Colts lose to Kansas City, Titans lose to Steelers, Cardinals lose to Vikings :( Bad week for me
On the other hand, if you're any of MY picks... (except Houston and Tennessee)

Most of my picks did alright...

And WOW! 48-3!
4-1!
The 49ers are BACK, baby! :D

I left the game in the middle to see the start of the first Winnipeg Jets game...because, well, they waited 15 years to get their team back, so it was kind of cool...but San Fran was already but by 21 at that point.

DAMN that's awesome! Lions next week, and would ANYONE have thought Lions/49ers before the year started could be a marquee matchup?

Sorry Detroit, but Chicago typically owns you. Peppers will have a big night. Cutler will surprise everybody and actually be on his feet to throw the ball a bit. Lions have no running game and I think the Oline is suspect.

I like Detroit, but I think they've gotten a bit lucky so far. Schwartz is also getting a bit too cocky for my taste.

So, Putin...is Best's performance enough of a running game for you now?
Putin33 (111 D)
11 Oct 11 UTC
Eh, I'd say yes if not for the fact that the Bears defense decided not to show up. That 88 yard up the middle run was inexplicable. He got all those yards on something like 10 carries.

Good game vs the 49ers coming up, who are #5 in run defense. We'll see what happens.

I actually was pretty impressed with Cutler. The Lions were in his face all night, but his stat line is pretty good.
Putin33 (111 D)
11 Oct 11 UTC
Yeah especially considering the dropped passes, including a sure-fire TD pass to Hester. Cutler is underrated and unfairly criticized.

Player collusion in anonymous, nil message games.
Do people think that it actually happens much, in games with no messaging at all, that two players decide before the game to help each other. I'm not complaining, or accusing, I just wanted to know what people's thoughts are about this. I have only come across one game where I suspected that the two players were in cahoots from before the game started, but whether or not it happened, the actions of two players kind of ruined the game.
