I know a lot of people (myself included) are about to lose power for at least a few days, maybe longer. Is it possible that the mods could pause all games for those who will be afflicted, or maybe pause all games and make the users unpause them? Estimates are that at least 30 million people will be without power, probably more, in the northeast US.

US vs. UK: Parliamentary or Constitutional Govt.?
I've had a fun time debating it well enough with some political science major friends, so I thought I'd throw it out here and see what comes up--a Parliamentary system like the UK's, or a Constitutional system like the US's, which do you prefer, and why...moreover, assuming everyone here is in one or the other (and not, say, living under a dictatorship) if you could change your country's system to be more like the other's...would you?

Ann Coulter and the R-Word--What a Vapid, Self-Centered, Despicable, Stupid B----!
I'm sorry, you can criticize Obama all you like...but you DO NOT DARE insult the mentally handicapped and then whine that the "PC Police" are after you...no, I'm sorry, but someone were to call me a kike, and I was offended, that's not me being overly politically-correct it's YOUR being incendiary, insipid, vile, cruel, and altogether an example of the sort of person we do NOT need on the air waves or in this country WHATSOEVER.

4) “But I’ve often said that if I had — I have two dogs — if I had two retarded children, I’d be a hero. And yet the dogs, which are pretty much the same thing. What? They’re sweet. They’re loving. They’re kind, but they don’t mentally advance at all. … Dogs are like retarded children.” — Bill Maher

Lead the crusade, he actually has a show to have cancelled. :)

@Gen. Lee:

I'll keep to what I said (especially as I dislike Maher rather intensely as well...the Mahers and Coulters need to get out of the way so there can be actual discourse between civilized and mature liberals and conservatives, rather than immature pratling attention getters and firebrands.)

I'd say his use of the word is wrong too...I'd ask for a link so I could see it in full context, but it still just sounds incredibly stupid, and yeah, I can see the mentally-handicapped groups not at all being happy about mentally-handicapped children being compared to dogs.

So I'll--slightly reservedly, until I see a link--stand by my statement.

Liberal or Conservative, BOTH statements are and were stupid, crass, and wrong.

I want that last bit emphasized, if I could, to try and avoid (as best as possible) the usual falling into ranks between liberals and conservatives here...

This is not about liberals or conservatives, I'm not favoring one group over another here, both would be wrong to use such a term as an incendiary and malicious slur.

I thus take issue with what Ann Coulter said...

But, if for the sake of argument, Anderson Cooper or (someone on the Left but someone I don't watch) Rachel Maddow had made the same statement Coulter had, I'd be saying the same thing.

Obi-tard - here's is what you (and all your retarded minions)_ are missing (on purpose, I suspect): Most insults are intended to compare the person being insulted to something negative, using a word with historical roots that may have negative connotations to some group or another. SO your whole retarded outrage here is bullshit.

In fact, I'll take it one farther -- the PC police have changed the word for the mentally challeneged: It isnt' retarded any more, it's MENTALLY CHALLENGED or other such "nice sounding" phrases. THUS, retarded in MODERN usage has two purpose: to describe changing something (such as retarding the velocity of an object) and as a general insult regarding someone's intelligence.

I sure as hell hope that Obi never insults anyone, because since most insults have an entemology tied to comparing the insulted to some other group or action, he had better step lightly.

My other theory on Obi-tard's whole rant: Maybe he visited the group home this weekend and lost his virginity in the broom closet to a...

BY the way, the very simple word "STUPID" that people use....same roots as retarded. It doesn't refer to the mentally challenged any more as it once did, thus it is acceptable to use. Retarded...same thing.

Get over it. You yourself, Obi-tard, said you see it used every day...so obviously it is common parlance and you need to get over it.

By krellins argument you have to add faggot to that list which I can identify with. I grew up calling and being called faggot by my brothers all my life. We never meant the person was gay just that they were being a faggot. Louis CK expands on this, just YouTube it. It's hilarious.

By the way, I'm Polish, my wife and daughters are blonde...two frequnetly insulted groups when I was growing up. It's called LIFE, Obi-tard...people insult people. It's normal human behavior. That retards like you think you are going to change it and go off on rants is so tiring....expecially since you are quite selective about the bad bahavior you want to change, and your demand for change never includes your OWN behavior that other's find offensive. The benevolent dictator demanding everyone change for the good of all...is just another thug.
obiwanobiwan (248 D)

You're a bit of a pot calling the kettle black on "tiring posts" there, krellin.

But then, as with Ms. Coulter, not only do you clearly not care to have any class, from the sheer amount of times you use that word, it appears you both need a thesaurus, given the shallowness of your statements and the lack of depth and variety in those pitiful attempts.

What's more, to echo the LA Times on this:

If the best you can do towards me and the best she can do towards the President is a tired 3rd-grade insult that's inflammatory and an attack on those who cannot always defend themselves...

It speaks again to just how low and simpering a creature you two are.

Class? Haaa ha ha! You taling about class?!? That's hillarious. You are such a narrow minded bigoted RETARD it isn't even funny. I have decided today to use the word repeatedly JUST to offend you. Call me classsless...I thought it was prett awesome, especially since your retarded enough to mention it and validate my activity.

YOu know, you seem to have this RETARDED idea that if you insult people, it has to be within a politically correct spectrum of terminology. Fucking retard. The purpose of an insult is to insult.

You have no problem insulting people for their religious beliefs, their political beliefs, the way they use language, etc. Well FUCK YOU OBI-TARD. You are JUST as much of a flaming asshole on these threads that I am....it's just that you are too fucking arrogant and RETARDED to get it. **I** **GET** that I piss people off. Mostly it is intentional. YOU, on the other hand, post these long-winded bullshit sessions trying to convince poeple (i.e. YOURSELF) how smart you are....put you are just a typical, narrow-minded, judgemental bullshit liberal.

The real story here is that the GOP likes to pretend it cares about special needs kids. How many times have Palin & Santorum invoked their special needs kids for political points. In reality they care nothing about them as is evident by the fact that Romney/Ryan's budget would gut Medicaid coverage for special needs kids.

^Good point...

If Obama had used the term, surely Palin or Santorum would have cried foul, given their children...but let's hear more of krellin, I think he has something really important and insightful to contribute with his inane ramblings and name-calling.

Not a good point at all, retards, unless you are a jaded fucking liberal. THE POINT is that retardation, birth defects, special needs kids, whatever PC term you want to use are NOT the exclusive ownership of politically correct liberals.

Oh my god...you know what.... I just realized that I ***really reallly*** want my wife to be underpaid! I literally WANT to push my mom and dad - my kid's grandparents - off a cliff and watch them die. I want to see homeless people dying on the streets. I want your babies to die. (Oh....wait....abortion...liberals have that covered...).

You jacked up retarded morons are pathetic excuses for so-called intellectuals. Obi....not sure if you have your degree yet...but you should turn it in, or deny it when offered, because your college years have completely denied you the ability to construct a logical argument tempered with COMMON fucking sense.

I pity you, retard.

And Obi...I'm NOT name-calling. I am applying accurate descriptions to what I observe.

YOU, for example, clearly have mental skills that are, shall we say, "below normal" on a social scale. You might call this...RETARDED. So when I call you a retard, I am simply applying a PROPER LABEL to you -- you are a social deficient. Your mental capacity is below normal. On many scales, you are sub-par...and thus, a retard. So....I'm not calling you names, retard....I'm giving you the label you deserve, have earned. After all, if I don't call you by the proper name, you will get all huffy and pissed off and create a new post....don't want that happening, do we?

It amazes me how often moronic retarded liberals like you will paste labels on people with no remorse....and yet if someone who opposes you does the same thing, you hypocritcally cry foul.

Well...grow the fuck up, retard. If you want to act like a big boy and where big boy pants, then be prepared to get smacked down when you big-boy rants fall flat.

Fuck

So I log in today, and have received a message that a game I was in called dark summer has suddenly been cancelled. I have no idea why? It was a World game that had been ongoing for quite a while. Is anyone able to point me to a reason why this game was cancelled? Or who I can contact to find out? I'm very confused and disappointed as this was an interesting game! Thanks.
