Where's the newbie section?
Someone mentioned Diplomacy to me, telling me it's a fun board game. So I googled it, found this community, and in the last 10 minutes I've been looking for the newbie section. I have no clue where to start, which games to join, etc. Where's the newbie section?

Occam's Razor and God
Occam's Razor is a theory that basically says that the least complicated option is usually the correct one. Atheists have been using this theory to state that God cannot exist, because a universe without God is simpler than a universe with God. (Continued)

What would you do if?
One person posts some kind of situation that starts with what would you do if and the second posts his response. I will start. What would you do if you were stranded on a lonely island with a fat guy named Bob and couldn't find anything to eat?
ODaly (236 D)

@killer: Flay him and use his buoyant fat to fashion a raft to float to the mainland on (how fat are we talking?). Eat what's left on the ride home.

What would you do if you and Madonna had just four minutes to save the world?
killer135 (100 D)

Odaly, you are a sick person. I would kill Madonna, sacrifice it to God, then hope for the best. What would you do if you were the president and new there would be a Nuclear war?

I would search endlessly to find a cure than if that didn't work, I would load up a machine gun, go to Afghanistan, and Kill me some terrorist!! What would you do if you had to steal ten-million dollars from the US Embassy or the Mafia would kill you?

I would steal it. Its not their money anyway.

Build a team of robots to do the job and upload my consciousness into their programming. Quietly accept my fate when they rise up against me after the job is completed.

What would you do if a federal fugitive offers to pay you to allow him to stay at your house for a day or so to avoid the authorities?
baumhaeuer (245 D)
21 Jul 10 UTC
Depends on the fugitive and whether he's armed.

What would you do if you were in a high position during a national crisis and had the option between keeping the country united or letting it break up in such a way that you favorite part was its own country and free of the bozos in the rest of the former US?

And how much money is the fugitive offering? And does he have it w/ him or does he promise to pay it later?
ODaly (236 D)
21 Jul 10 UTC
@baum: Immediate payment (cash), though less than the reward for aiding in his arrest, but he'd be able to kill/incapacitate you if you tried to fight/betray him.

What would you do if you were in a high position during a national crisis and had the option between keeping the country united or letting it break up in such a way that you favorite part was its own country and free of the bozos in the rest of the former US?

baumhaeuer (245 D)

Destroy it immediately (at least I HOPE I would destroy it immediatly). It would not really work too well for revenge (they wouldn't know what hit them), and killing criminals, terrorists, etc. would only allow them to be replaced by new criminals, terrorists, etc. (Not to mention that it is not my place to kill any of these people anyway).
I would not hand it to the military, because they would not believe me (unless I *demonstrated*, which would be wrong and get me in trouble anyway).

Finally, some intelligent questions.

What would you change if you could change one aspect of history (keeping in mind that it will have repercussions, good or bad, on subsequent events)?
svenson (106 D)

I wouldn't change history, What was, was. The bad things in the past are what makes the precious things more precious.

@joda nice deathnote reference :P

Scenario: You are a train track operator in the olden days controlling which way the trains go. One path goes to an unfinished bridge and the other goes normally around the mountainside. It's bring your daughter to work day. You see a train coming and the track is set the wrong way (off the bridge) and your daughter is playing on the other tracks. There is not enough time to run out and save your daughter and the train cannot stop in time.

Do you change the path of the train?

You are stuck in a room with no apparent entrances or exits, with nothing but a pizza and pizza cutter. You were placed in the room by magic, and cannot remember how you entered the room. How do you escape?
tarspaceheel (503 D)

Cut the pizza in half, put the two halves together. Since two halves make a whole, you climb out the hole.

You fall into the same sort of time loop as Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Which day of the year do you pick?

What would you do if a hot girl tried to rape you?

What would you do if the strongest man in the world tried to rape you?

What would you do in a zombie invasion? (include place, weapon and friends of choice)
obiwanobiwan (248 D)

@svenson:

I would go two blocks over to where one of my four great friends live, carrying a baseball bat and some knives (best I've got) bang on his door and tell him to DRIVE the hell out of where we were to hit the highway while I call the others in our drama family, trying to figure out where those left alive of us can meet, get weapons and hunker down in one of the great theatres in Los Angeles or Glendale, as we know our way around a theatre so we can set up plenty of traps and those buildings are pretty fortified.

(If my responder is an atheist) What would you do if Jesus came back and it all turned out to be true and you knew it 100% was all true?
(If a Christian or Jew or Muslim) What would you do if you learned that the hardest of the atheists were all right and there is 100% no God or Savior or anything metaphysical?

Come on, who thought I WOULDN'T ask something like that? ;)
nnfolz (2 D)

@obiwan

How to convince an atheist. I agree with most of this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rqUsC2KsiI
One would expect, obiwan, that an atheist that knew with 100% certainty that 'it all turned out to be true' wouldn't be an atheist... ;) and same in reverse (though I guess by learning they can answer this one by saying 'I would become an atheist').

That said, since I recently converted to Christianity... I'd become a pantheist.

If the Christian God really exists, you'd be an idiot not to beg for forgiveness or rot in Hell for all eternity.

If you were a robot, but didn't know it, but I knew, would you want me to tell you?
centurion1 (1478 D)

No I assume I'm like an android?
baumhaeuer (245 D)

Depends on whether I would find out on my own, how I would find out on my own if I did, and who else knew/would know.
