Alternative-To-Evolution Bill Passed...Should Creationism/Intelligent Design Be Taught?
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-20052007-501465.html

Brought to you by the same fine state behind the "Don't Say Gay" Bill, here "the thrust of the proposed law would elevate creationist theories about human evolution to the same status accorded by most educators to Darwin's research." Good? Bad? Should Creationism/IT be taught?

Support question
If you have a fleet in Greece and a fleet in Con, can the fleet in Greece support the F Con - Bulgaria (NC)?

In the support tab you don't seem to need to specify coast.

In speaking of obscure ethnic heritages and lineages...
what percentage of what are you? I'm (roughly--we don't have this exactly on Mom's side) 1/2 German, 1/4 Scottish, 1/8 Irish, and 1/8 English. And for some reason, I always imagine it as a pie chart with German on the right half, Scottish in the upper left quadrant, English sharing a side with Scottish, and Irish sharing a side with German.

So... nice monster thread. To bring it back where it started:
1/4 German
1/4 Acadian French (if you're American think Cajuns, only before they got deported to Louisiana from Nova Scotia)
3/16 Scottish
3/16 Irish
1/8 unknown
My great grandpa from the German side got sent off to Germany to marry the butcher's daughter in his family's old town (back then they still did that) and when he got there, he decided that he didn't particularly like her so he married the mayor's pastry chef instead. His family was less than pleased, and it was years before they would speak to her.

"What about agricultural privatization, or at least decreased state control? I have always been under the impression that the collectivization of agriculture was a complete disaster in terms of the famine it exacerbated (I get a similar impression of the USSR after Stalin's movement away from the NEP). Would you argue that this damage was overstated or necessary? Furthermore, where does agriculture fit in in the future?"

I don't see how. The population nearly doubled from 1949-1978, and despite that the amount of land sewn with food and the per capita food production rose a significant amount. It must be understood that China must feed 1/5 of the world's population with 7% of the world's arable land and 5% of the world's water resources. Some of the projects implemented during the collectivization era, such as improved irrigation techniques, as well as terracing, directly resulted in dramatically improved agricultural production. Also you can say that breaking up the land monopolies of the landlords also helped a tremendous amount.

Chinese progress in food production keeps increasing. Productivity has increased as new techniques are being implemented. China has conquered hunger as a social problem. A remarkable feat. However serious problems remain, there is a large gap between the countryside and the cities. The new leadership has implemented sought to address this, interestingly enough, by *reducing its dependence on the international market*.

@ Putin33

"Right, so in your world nothing is illegal."

I never said or implied that.

""but anyone who grabs land for no apparent reason definitely has some explaining to do."

Why would they need to explain?"

Why? Because the United Nations does not usually allow countries to conquer other countries without a reason. Why do you think NATO kicked Saddam out of Kuwait?

Barack Obama and the Homeopathic Theory of Ethnic Heritage
It seems if you take someone who is 100% Irish, and dilute the bloodline again and again and again over many generations until the original blood is pretty much undetectable, the result is someone whose Irishness is so powerful it is attracts the votes of Irish Americans from all over the US.

Advice?
I'm a relatively inexperienced player, but I really like the game. I just finished a gunboat (gameID=59815), where I was Russia. I thought I was doing pretty well at the beginning of the game, but I ended up just surviving with 2 SC's. I know my two major mistakes were placing the wrong order in Spring 1905, and the failure of protecting Rumania in Autumn 1906. I was hoping that I could get some advice to help me get better at the game. Thanks!

Not sure why rome played like this...
Genuine question, in this game: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=59927 Rome thwarted a pretty obvious attempt to form a stalemate.

Was he merely trying to get payback for past wrongs done to him or was he going for the Diplomacy Points? Are Diplomacy Points valued here to the point that they are more worthwhile than draws?

VDiplomacy - the better Diplomacy
My friend told me last week about a new diplomacy site http://www.vdiplomacy.com/ its exactly like this one but has dozens of variants (thats for the "V" before Diplomacy). The moment I sae the list of variants i realized that there is absolutely no point in playing this webDiplomacy instead of VDiplomacy. So everyone now go to the site i linked and check it out yourselves. Its awesome!

Build two fleets in St Pete?
So, the game I'm currently playing in is in a situation where I'd like to have more fleets. I was in the process of ordering my two builds when, quite by accident, I see that building in St Pete north coast and also, during the same build phase, building in St Pete south coast is a valid option (ie I'm allowed to make and save that order).

This Time On Philosohpy Weekly: What's The Point Of All This Nonsense?
The question everyone asks at one point or another..."Obi, what's the point of this bullshit thread you keep posting and these pedantic, poorly-punctuated posts?" ;) (O n an alliteration kick from my last set of papers.) ;)
But really, what's the point of philosophy? (Taken to mean "thinking about life" and whatever connotation it may carry for you.) And of life?
If there's a point to all this, a goal--what is it? And if not...well, why bother, brother? ;)
