WW2 Variant (new thread) Preview ***
Here is the very very first version of my WW2 map to look at. I already posted a thread about this but basically the I just need some advice on the map. Is there anything that strikes you as obviously geographically or historically inaccurate at this stage? Before I go adding supply centres and things.

Israel needs no human rights review.
Unlike Syria and North Korea, which did in fact open up to criticism.

Let Me Ask the Question, Gun Owners and Advocates--Why?
Not wealthy should you be allowed to own guns--you should, the 2nd Amendment gives you that right--but why this is treated so often as the line in the sand...why, in short, do you seem value guns so highly as to seem to approach the point of fanatical worship (at least that's how it appears to some of us on the outside.) There is one answer I'm not buying (and I'll give it below) but aside from that...I have to know--why do value your guns seemingly first and foremost?

Diplomacy causes violence
It has just been reported that several recent stabbings in ******** were inspired by an online game called 'Diplomacy', which encourages players to 'stab' others as a major part of gameplay.
The perpetrators have denied any knowledge of the game, but mentioned the name 'Timur'. He has been tracked down to the Far East and is currently being hunted. (As usual. Never been caught yet :~)

Wait! Shouldn't we know first exactly what Tom Bombadil's nature and background is? Can a "creature" so unconcerned with the affairs of hobbits be trusted in the affairs of webdip? Is he a creature at all?

The mods informed Old Tom of his new rank,
Tom grimaced and replied, “I must be frank:
“Sounds dreadful! That's a mighty load of work.”
“But wait,” cried abge, “You haven't heard the perk,
Hard drugs and gorgeous women await you,
Become a mod, its all you have to do,
A webdip hero, yes that's what you'll be,
Breed fear into the cheaters, make the flee!”

So Tom agreed, his mind alit with zeal,
His lonesome pain could finally heal,
Yet Tom is slowly sinking toward despair,
For days without an answer to his prayer,
Has caused Old Tom to doubt the promise made,
For have the mods left poor Old Tom betrayed?
It matters little now, for Tom did agree,
To mod while he waits for promised female company!

Catholic Church is pro-choice when it suits them
http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/26/us/colorado-fetus-lawsuit/index.html
So this catholic hospital due to malpractice saw twin boys get killed. The Father tried to sue and lost on the grounds that the fetuses were not considered life. Apparently the catholic church is pro-life only when it suits them.
