Rule Hypocrisy
the people that made a rule against "Sexism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry" but allow cussing i think is quite hypocritical. if you allow people to cuss on this site then why is it wrong for someone to politely state their belief that homosexuality is a sin? if this forum was made for people to voice their opinions and opinions are allowed on other matters then why is it wrong to voice your opinions on sticky subjects?

Petition to rename St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg as a territory name is offensive to anyone who isn't Christian. We need to change this to be more welcoming to other religions.

Switzerland: No Man's Land.
Let's assume that Switzerland is no longer impassable. What effects would that have on the game, the strategy, and the tactics? Should Switzerland stay a no man's land, or might it be more interesting to make it a playable space? Perhaps it could be a neutral supply center, or just a neutral territory. What do you guys think?

Turkey Opening Strategies: Moving to Syria?
Turkey opens normally, except the fleet in Ankara moves to Constantinople, and the army in Smyrna holds. The army in Smyrna then moves to Syria. Turkey can build a fleet in Ankara or Smyrna, depending on whether he is going after Russia or Italy. This is not my idea. I was just curious to know what you guys think about it. Is a Turkish move to Syria just plain silly, or might it have some serious strategic effects?

French - Italian alliance
How would this work? Usually there's a non-aggression pact, but if France were willing to sacrifice Marseilles in return for support in Tyrolia, is this a workable relationship? Stabs are VERY difficult as they cross the stalemate line, but has this been effectively done before?

I hate people from Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe-ans suck big time.

I was actually going to use this new thread to maybe comment about what I think about women, or maybe what I think about Republicans, or maybe something else like that. But then I thought those things might get me in trouble. So I decided to express my opinion about Zimbabwe-ans instead.

He objected to my statement that that kind of bastard needs to disappear from the face of the earth. If that is objectionable, it necessarily implies that racism and sexism they represent should NOT be wiped from the face of the earth. Hard to interpret such a position as anything other than advocating for the preservation of such ideologies. There isn't a lot of wiggle room.

Objecting to the violent removal of individuals, however distasteful, is hardly the same as advocating that their beliefs or ideas should be preserved. If you really think that such a position has no "wiggle room" in it, then you really are the dangerous zealot for your cause that you seem to be.

Time and experience with individuals who defy racist or sexist expectations are far better methods for effecting a lasting beneficial cultural change rather than attempting to eradicate or convince stubborn individuals.

Read the quote. It was about the removal of that kind of attitude. It is a disingenuous trench to read it otherwise that is typical of apologists. History has shown that sweeping it under the carpet and minimizing its importance with false pieties and pearl clutching is the favorite strategy of those complacent with the status quo. I never advocated with eradicating anyone. I advocating a kind of bastardy. bo Sox is precisely the kind of white moderate King warned us about
Ogion (3817 D)

Advocating removing a kind of bastardy rather.
Ogion (3817 D)

This disingenuous and willful misinterpretation as advocating violence where I didn't(As opposed interestingly to the latter part which I already repudiated interestingly) is precisely the kind of silencing we see so often of those who speak out. It's a slander pure and simple.

Ogion is a self-centered intolerant moron. He is the type of Stalinist-Maoist that rounds up his enemies after the revolution and shoots them at dawn. His kind were the ninny monarchists that the patriots sent packing to Canada or the craven democrat politicians that sent brave men to die in Vietnam and then disowned them when they returned. The answer to that kind is to buy a one way ticket to Havana and bid them good riddance.

"And those people I will harrass the hell out of and back until they are left a pile of quivering jelly weeping crushed and demoralized in the corner. Because I for one have had enough of the sexism and the racism and the homophobia and all the rest of it, and it I see it I am seriously going to knee your balls straight through the roof of your mouth. Is that ENTIRELY clear, you douchebags?"

This quote, the attitude it conveys, and the tone of your rhetoric throughout the thread has indicated a combative approach that polarizes people and makes those individuals who might agree with your goals oppose your approach.

Eliminating the bigotry of racism, sexism, and all kinds of other -isms is a fine goal, but people like you make a laudable goal look like a violent crusade against people whose most racist behavior may be to take a second, suspicious glance at a black man walking down the street by them. Do those people count as "bastards" that need to disappear?
