Re: Accusation of Cheating

Any and everything is fair game in press to put your opponents off, you just have to remember Newton's Third Law. Coming to the forums instead of the mods is exactly the wrong way to deal with this. There are many brighter and better ones. Use your imagination. Not according to the site rules, plus...

Re: I am resigning as Archduke of Hell

For our non-British audience, Gary Lineker is a man who is given over a million pounds of the British public's money every year for having a head that vaguely resembles the FA Cup. Haha. Harsh. He is an excellent presenter and was a legend in the game during his playing career. For our non-British ...

Re: My resignation at webDiplomacy

I have to agree with Octavious (god dammit) those jokes on the IWD were so very obviously tongue in cheek at worst. There is a massive danger in turning any forum into a group thinkers paradise. This forum has long exhibited signs of such. I am a crotchetty, ornery 50+ year old, and people today are...

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 91

Thank you. The answer is PETER USTINOV I used to know a lot more stuff than I do now. This is a very obscure choice to many people. I've certainly never heard of him. If you were going with someone like that, it would have made sense to give a hint. OH come on - Peter Ustinov was a screen legend.

Re: should you help the homeless if they want to stay homeless

I quite frankly hate your question. It is the way the horrible rabid right would phrase it, as a prelude to attacking social security mechanisms. Homelessness is on the rise globally in developed nations, and can be tied directly to economic rationalists, reaganomics, and the relentless on-going tra...

Re: Au Revoir Mes Amis

Sorry to hear about your mental health issues MM - calling Lifeline 100+ times makes me sad for you. I lost my 100 year old grandmother this year as well, and as we get older the black dog finds it easier to worm his way into our hearts and minds. I'm also really sorry now that I missed your Sydney ...

2. We cannot get rid of original sin. The only way to gain this for our immortal soul is to do this is through faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ as our savior?
I always thought Baptism was meant to cleanse original sin?

Re: What makes your life worth living?

@Fluminator: If you still want more from me on why suffering is bad, I have been reflecting on how to explain it to you. I think that suffering is bad because I have experienced it, and I have some evidence to suggest to me that others experience suffering as a bad thing also. I know that when some...

Re: What makes your life worth living?

Suffering is essential for spiritual growth. It is the spur that kicks us on, to greater levels of insight and wisdom.

The end of suffering would mean an end to innovation - to wish to eliminate it would stagnate society.

Re: Quiet or is it just me?

I wouldn't be surprised if the new RR system plays a part. I know my son who also plays has been banned for a year. It is not very forgiving. My activity peaks and troughs as well due to NMR related effective bans. I think one of the site admins could probably give us hard stats on just how many pla...
