Tax dodging and capital flight
Ok, this youtube video discusses it. In brief, company extracts mineral wealth, sells for a low price to parent company based in a tax haven, declares no/very little profit. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ocm42ytXto )

Probably not in the Bible but...
Before Jesus took over John's ministry what did people think of the fact that a man in his upper 20s wasn't married and had no children? Wouldn't that have been exceedingly rare at the time?

I am retiring from Trolling
I will henceforth focus my efforts on promoting games, offering opinions on actual issues and an occasional contribution that may be amusing. My goal was never to see the forum overrun with nonsense. Sadly its becoming unreadable and the threads are so abundant that trolling is now all thats happening. Sorry webdip for ushering in this era.

Completely unrelated thought
You can easily walk out the door and abandon your life, start over and become a new person. But can you do the same to your mindset? Can you drop all previous prejudices/perspectives/opinions, (but not facts) and build a new world view? A new model for interacting with reality?

Apologies to the community
I seriously lost my cool last night, and I'm quite sorry. Although we discuss very serious, and sometimes life or death issues for some, that tone is way out of bounds.

I think it's the banning of bad apples, much as some grumble over the censorship and violation of some mythical webDiplomacy "free speech" rights that don't exist.

Forum discussions are much more enjoyable when they don't devolve into mudslinging and name calling too often, and that's what those banned people did often, which is what got them banned for the most part. There's still good banter and trash talk, but it's less personal and vulgar.
Bladerunners (1019 D)
08 May 17 UTC
Agreed slypups and others. Someone was insulting people with downs syndrome the other day and that shouldn't be tolerated but at least there is a lot less of that kind of crap and personal attacks going on (and mostly the personal attacks now are more funny than nasty)

Naturally, after the loss of freedom, the signs of a police state are bound to appear. And none are so telling as the changes in language. Our young Pavlik Morozovs here are just waiting for a slip-up, reminding us that only "good" banter will be "tolerated."

Seriously what is the point of having a go at DO every time she posts. it almost like some people just do it because they know what gender she is. If so, that would mean that they are showing some misogynistic tendencies. Surely that can't be true in our modern inclusive society.

About those earth rays..
Years ago, I started a discussion (and an infrequently used meme) about how I used to have severe headaches as a small child until a small metal device that my parents can't describe very well was buried in the frontyard and my headaches disappeared overnight. My parents cited mythical earth rays as the cause of the problem. The brilliant minds of webdip saw a placebo effect as the only possible answer. I found another possible explanation and would like your thoughts.

This was reported by Time Magazine.
