Any good political blogs?
I had recently completed writing an essay on the threat posed to US hegemony by China. I revised it 7 times and changed it into a better essay. It may have a long way to go, but I wanted to see where it could be considered for publication.

Game Question
In one of my games (I'm playing Turkey) I have an army in Constantinople, a fleet in the Aegean, and a fleet in Bulgaria north coast. Could I use F (Aeg) to convoy Constantinople to Bulgaria, and in a separate move in the same turn move Bulgaria to Constantinople?

Webdip community, please help settle an IRL disagreement
Which of these TV shows is the most psychologically traumatic, and why: 1) Battlestar Galactica (99.75% of humanity wiped out by killer robots), 2) Walking Dead (zombie apocalypse), or 3) Breaking Bad (a handful of people die who (by and large) probably had it coming anyway). Please keep spoilers to a minimum or encrypted with ROT-13 encryption (http://web.forret.com/tools/rot13.asp).

Stop the aid to Africa! It does more harm than good
If the industrial nations really want to help the Africans, they should finally terminate this awful aid. The countries that have collected the most development aid are also the ones that are in the worst shape. Despite the billions that have poured in to Africa, the continent remains poor.

Since I'm not qualified to ask questions about science, I'll go to something I know more about. Really, are airlines this stupid? I (kind of) understand the lack of legroom, I (kind of) understand the side fees that they never tell you about, I (kind of) understand extra bag fees for overweight bags, but can't they just hand you your valuables in one piece?

Innocent until proven guilty. Same goes for baseball players suspected of PED use.

Maybe so, but I agree with 2WL...we can't prematurely treat him like a felon until he actually verifies that he did cheat.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
05 Jan 13 UTC
why not? It's already been proven, he just hasn't admitted it yet.

A preponderance of evidence is what is needed to win a civil trial, but it doesn't prove anything which is why criminal trials don't run the same way. So he is innocent but seriously suspect and liable to civil penalties until he admits his guilt (seeing as there is no criminal trial here).

I think better questions would be:

1). Who *didn't* use them and
2). Does it matter at all considering all the good things he's done

Its just a game and, quite frankly, a boring one.
2ndWhiteLine (2611 D(B))
05 Jan 13 UTC
I'll admit that the evidence is overwhelmingly against him, but there was still *no* positive test made public. All we have is testimony from his fellow admitted cheaters, whose views are anything but trustworthy, especially admitted scumbag Tyler Hamilton. Just because "everyone else is doing it" is no reason for suspicion, even though it usually becomes the case. Ask Craig Biggio, one of the best players of his generation for the Astros who didn't make it into the HOF this year because he played in the steroids era.
