Is Playing Diplomacy a "Right?"
How many teenagers and twenty-somethings fritter away their days playing diplomacy instead of making sure they get an education or aren't a burden on society?

Why is America in so much debt?
The size of America's debt is staggering and it is really hard to imagine it ever being paid off and the long term negative consequences are very worrying. How did a country run by smart people allow itself to get into this awful predicament?

variant idea
Has this been tried before?

So I'm thinking of attempting to design some kind of randomly generated map to stir things up and avoid the same old alliances and same old outcomes. Would the community be interested in something like this? Would the powers that be support it if I was able to develop a good one?

Why is the colonial variant disabled?
I noticed that there are four other variants that are on the server yet are disabled. What is the purpose of this? Wouldn't more variants mean more gameplay for the members here? I know I'm new here so if there was a good reason before I left, I'm interested in hearing about it.

Sort of a Goodbye
School will be starting soon, so I'll have trouble keeping up with all of my games. I will definitely be taking a break, so you might not see me again until December. By then, I'm sure I'll have several new people to argue with in the forums and quite a few of you will have forgotten about me. But that's great! Wouldn't it be nice to have some worshippers on WebDiplomacy? That way I'd win every game!

I never understand why people would ever want to have one-night stands/casual hookups. If you're attracted to someone enough to fuck them, why wouldn't you want to date them? I mean, I'm sure sex is fun, but wouldn't a relationship+sex be even more fun?

Had some time to explore Portland, OR today. It was really nice. Clean, not congested, I never had to wait to cross the street. Overall, a much "happier" city than Boston. Oh, and a cute chick was dancing around flashing people, so no complaints there.

England's Riots
Does anyone oever there--or over here, for that matter--know what's going on, ie, why these folks are rioting?

All I get in searching for it are notifications about England's...cricket team...? And a friendly? Is that it, is this all one big "soccer riot," so to speak, or has Yahoo's serach engine failed once again, and there are real, important reasons behind all this?

@Thucy: I'm starting 10th grade.

My classes:
1st: Spanish 2
2nd: Pre-calculus Honors
3rd: Engineering 2 (which is really biology, but it's par of a special engineering academy I'm in)
4th: English 2 Pre-AP
5th: Chemistry Honors
6th: World History Pre-AP

I'd love to see the *details* of Cm's curriculum....Either he is a fucking genius, or his school exaggerates what the classes will be about. "Engineering 2" for a guy that doesn't know calculus....yeah, sure. OK, he admits it is "biology"....which means, the school blatantly lies about the content of the classes by assigning inaccurate titles to the courses. I'm extremely unimpressed, because I don't believe a bit of it.

Furthermore, I can add you to my inferior list:

Try my days which will involve me going to two different schools, skipping lunch, and taking some tests that most college students have trouble with. As a Sophomore, I will be taking:

AP Government
AP English
Dual-Enrollment Biology
Dual-Enrollment Math Analysis (A highly advanced pre-calculus)
AND BAND! 4th chair, too.

it's all bs...
@krellin: It's called engineering because it's a part of the space and engineering academy. Engineering 1 is just physics, but we do a ton of projects where we build things. Engineering 2 is biology, and we'll do a few projects where design a few thing with biological applications. and Engineering 3 is actually very basic engineering.

krellin (80 DX)
16 Aug 11 UTC
@CM....so, in other words, the classes are named with completely delusional titles meant to stroke your fragile ego.

I*am* an engineer, my dear boy, as are many on this site. "Introduction to Physics" is not "Engineering I" "Biology" lol....is HARDLY "Engineering II" etc etc etc. OK....your mom and dad bought into the idea that you are in some advanced program, and when you graduate from high school you will be an engineer....lol.....<I'm laughing hard right now....> but you are not, and will not be an engineer because you graduated high school from the "space and engineering" academy. The sooner you put aside your ego and understand that you are taking *normal* college-prep classes....the same as I took in my rotten old public high school....the sooner those with real degrees will stop mocking you.
"and when you graduate from high school you will be an engineer" I don't think that...... A lot of people in the program plan on majoring in some form on engineering in college; I'm considering it. But really it's just a fun program that teaches you very basic engineering methods in your junior year and has you practice building and designing things all throughout high school. And it looks really good on college applications.

"The sooner you put aside your ego and understand that you are taking *normal* college-prep classes" Well actually, these classes are taught at the level of pre-ap classes, not regular college prep classes, but yeah, I know they aren't anything super special.
