Military Benefits
http://www.esquire.com/features/man-who-shot-osama-bin-laden-0313?click=pp

These are the things that bug me... these are the stories that say I have no reason to be a soldier and that I shouldn't enlist because I don't get any respect for it... these are the things that scare me away, not warfare.

Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy, I think, is one of the worst human traits, because it violates the rules of rhetoric and deceives both the hypocrite and their listener, obstructing reason and acceptance in the way of subversion and blind authority.

Mission To Mars...Fun To Dream About...Make It Happen, You Science-Type People Here!
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/story/2012/09/12/manned-mars-mission-still-on-track/57767950/1 "If the time line holds, a manned test flight of the Space Launch System and Orion capsule will take place in 2021. If that's successful, an asteroid landing would be feasible by 2025, followed by a landing on Mars sometime in the 2030s." (If YOU could go on that trip, and leave one thing on The Red Planet, there until the last syllable of recorded time, what would it be?)

Hey now! Fat chicks need love to! Depends on how fat. Can't get through the doorway/can use their ass as a bookshelf - no thanks!. Nice and curvy with maybe a little pooch on the tummy (i.e. can pull off a FGAS for real), well that means them boobs are natural and ready for milking!

Draugnar is excommunicated forthwith

11 Feb 13 UTC
Dude, I was excommunicated when I was babptised *Lutheran* as a baby. The Catholics never have forgiven Martin Luther for pointing out all their flaws (and that was before their bought with pedophilia when they just had tunnel between nuneries and monasteries so the nuns and monks could get their jollies together) and this Pope was one of the worst declaring all non-Catholics as heretics and reversing all of JP II's intefaith dialog.

It's 12 year phases, full press, WTA. Don't apply unless you have a GR in single figures. No aborting, try and stay until you die even if they've ganged up on you and you are taking a bad beating, some argue it's something that should have happened to the Catholic Church years ago. Be friendly to the Germans and hostile to the rest of Europe, especially the Greeks.

Russian Gold Buying Binge
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-10/putin-turns-black-gold-into-bullion-as-russia-out-buys-world.html

Thoughts? Russia is on a gold buying binge. Thoughts? Are they acknowledging something about the global economy and the potential demise of the US dollar?

Why is the west supporting Muhamed Morsi again?
He's an anti-Semite (no, we're not going to argue the word anti-Semite and I use it in the colloquial sense where it means anti-Jewish) reactionary woman-repressing islamist. He's not our friend. Discuss.

Masters Interest
This is just a thread to judge if there is enough interest in the community to start another round of the Masters. Note that this tourney does take more than 40 players to start, and will take 6-8 months to complete. I'm gonna try to keep this to top 200 GR, due to complaints about the quality of the last round.

Brand new stupid question of the day
I've been looking back on some of my previous games and I see that there are several people who I've played with that have a big red x next to their names. Is it safe to assume that these players were banned for something? Or am I completely wrong on this?

Austria issue
I have searched the forum for similar topic, haven't found any. However if the issue was somewhere discussed just delete the thread.

Playing Austria is very difficult in most of the cases. Moreover, players usually tend to play a pattern of "lets kill Austria first." Although you may say it is a natural fate of nations that some are stronger other are weaker, personally I think that in the game Austria should have a more equal chances (...)

Borderline Movies
List films you're not sure if they land on the happy side of par...or just barely fail...or just hit the line...Mine's "Bladerunner"--I STILL can't tell if that's the best bad movie or worst good movie I've ever seen...it has some of the best stylistic and atmospheric elements of any even partially-action film I've seen...but even with the PDK book's ideas and the VK test...so DULL, and plodding, with a plot heavier on conceptualization than payoff, until the very, very end...I dunno.
