Friendly banter that focuses on volatile political issues.
Who else enjoys a bit of this? I have a black friend and we joke about race all the time. I can't help from calling my boyfriend a dirty queer. So...who else enjoys friendly banter that focuses on volatile political issues? Share with us!

What is natural?
There have been some arguments and discussions in the forum about what is and what is not natural, particularly in the case of filial cannibalism instincts in human beings and animals. Can we find a consensus on what 'natural' constitutes or can we not escape the fact that 'natural' is in part a socially-constructed concept?

Is, for example, homosexuality any less natural than masturbation?

Freedom of speech on a private server
I realise this has probably been discussed before, probably a dozen times, but as it has been an issue brought up in a number of threads recently, I thought I'd create one where people could discuss and put their thoughts on the issue into a centered discussion. Are there limitations to freedom of speech on a private server? I certainly enjoy the extent to which we have freedom of speech on this private server. What does everyone else think?

So I'm thinking about getting more fuel efficient in life...
I only have a 5 mile drive to work and plenty of sub 45 MPH backroads. So I've been thinking about a "scooter" type vehicle like a Vespa or a Honda PCX or Silverwing... Any suggestions on what I should look at? Oh, and up to 10K or 11K is permissible so low end cruiser motorcycles work if they have some storage for a laptop bag.

This is what I don't get ....... amongst other things
How can only one player in a game get banned for being a multi. Surely to make it effective your multi accounts have to play in the same game. The aptly named 'Notacheater' was banned as a multi after taking place in one game but no-one else in that game was banned, how does that work?

i don't want to work
so i haven't much enjoyed working. so maybe i'll go back to school. but i don't feel like paying anything for it. also i don't feel like contacting people for application references. isn't there some place, like the philippines or something where i can go to school for like $2 a year or something. without providing references?

GOOD FUCKING GOD!!! You ***ARE*** a Democrat.

My suggestion is, first, contac Ms. Fluke at that Catholic University Georgetown. First and foremost, we know that she is a good lay....she MUST be, becuase by the volume of birth control she requires, she fucks early and often...so first hook up with her for free sex.

Then...contact Nancy Pelosi, and tell her that you are desperate unhappy, depressed, really, becuase your sole ambition in life is to prove that man can get by on nothing...and it IS worthy research....and if man can't be happy in his ambitions, what the fuck is the use of living anyway....so if the Democrats won't sponsor your life, then you will, for real, kill yourself, and, *IN* your death note, you will indict Nancy Pelosi and whateve that fuckhead in the other house is names...but anyway, you will blame it on Government, and the refusal of Democrats to support your life's artistic ambition....

Anyway....don't give up your dream, brother!!!!

Uh, Dude, that's why they call it "work." If it was always fun, they'd call it "fun." But seriously, find something you *like* to do, and then find a way to get paid for it.

It's free for Uruguayan citizens, but I don't know about foreign students. I would think that it it were free for everybody, they'd be swamped with applicants.

Also, just because you like having sex doesn't mean you like having sex with the kind of people who can't get sex without paying for it.
Jamiet99uk (1307 D)

OR that you are appealing enough that lots of people would pay to have sex with you. I'm presuming bolshoi is a pasty, overweight teenage boy, so he'll really need to start shedding the pounds and using more moisturiser if he wants to make it as a rent boy.

germany's better, i heard even foreign students don't have to pay to go to school there. but i'm guessing they have standards. assholes. anyway that's another scam. the university system is still a monopolizing piece of crap, i think the costs are just borne more by donations or taxes. probably taxes though. but i'm not sure, that article didn't say.

Most European countries provide free university education to any European students provided they speak the local language. That way, the rules are the same for everyone, including the natives, and the schools are still not overwhelmed by foreign students.

World Diplomacy IX Strategy
Does anyone here know of any good sites for country-by-country strategies for the World Diplomacy variant? A quick Google search yielded nothing, but I find myself getting crushed by larger empires mid-game almost every time I play, and I'd like to know how to fix this.
