New Game
I would like to start a new Full Press, WTA game with 48 hour phase lengths. I think the pot size should be 101 but I am flexible on that. Is anyone interested?

George Zimmerman arrested (again)
If only there were signs! If only there was some hint that he could behave violently with a gun! If only there was some way we could have known!

I Need a Mod
I need a mod to take a look at some reason postings in the thread I maintain, the Daily Bible Reading because a player is posting extremely offensive material of a graphic sexual nature that is completely unrelated to the topic. I muted him, but want to know if this is permitted or if it can be deleted from the Forum.

I need a God
I need a God to take a look at some reason postings in the prayers I maintain, the King James Bible because a neighbour is posting extremely offensive material of a graphic sexual nature that is completely unrelated to the topic. I forgave him, but want to know if this is permitted or if it can be deleted from the Universe.

How come you lose a few points and you are a political puppet when you were experienced before?
Experience can't be taken from you.
The same can happen but reversed,you may win one game and be expert.

Welfare pays better than work in the US
A mother of two in New York is eligible for more in welfare benefits than starting salaries for school teachers in the state. Hawaii offered the most money to a mother of two, $60, 590 and Idaho the least $11,150. 33 states offer more in welfare than full-time minimum wage work earns.

Reality is: that the majority of the American people want their social security handouts. That the corporate world likes globalized free trade. That there always has been regulation of government, and that it is necessary. That our society is secular, and that separation of church and state is now expected and popular.

Did... did Sbyvl36 just say he was in favor of direct colonial rule? He's crossed the Rubicon of stupidity in my mind.

Please, finally give me an answer. How old are you, Sbyvl36? Roughly.
dipplayer2004 (1110 D)

So start trying to persuade people. Instead of just telling them they are wrong. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Lose the attitude and learn to argue more effectively.

And policy matters are not black and white, right and wrong. There is no divinely appointed tax rate, or a One True Way to administer government.
Jack_Klein (897 D)

Yeah, but the conservatives were the ones clinging to slavery.

Lincoln was a liberal.

Sbyvl36 (439 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
Lincoln would be a Conservative today. As would any politician from that time
Sbyvl36 (439 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
@dipplayer: The Constitution is very clear. There are no gray spots. I never said there'sa divinely appointed tax rate, I'm just telling you that the tariffs worked in the past, and they will work again. Think about it, back then we hardly ever had a recession. Now we have one every ten years or so.

Lincoln transcends conservative/liberal labels. Both sides can claim him. The truth is that he was progressive in wanting to expand freedom, but also conservative in wanting to preserve the Union.

And, just a reminder, the Democrats were the party of the pro-slavery faction. The faction who were not conservatives, but revolutionaries--in wanting to overturn the established order of the Union.
Jack_Klein (897 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
Dippy: The democracts of 1860 were conservatives. Resisting progressive thought that said slavery wasn't OK, and wanting to maintain the existing order.

The Republicans of the 1860s were liberals at the time. Wanting to overturn the existing status quo and amend the law and the Constitution to contain and eventually eliminate slavery.
Invictus (240 D)

A real age. Just the decade. Maybe you're just senile. Or a misguided teen.
dipplayer2004 (1110 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
Yeah, Sbyvl, besides changing your attitude, you need to educate yourself. Recessions, depressions, downturns and the like are normal parts of the business cycle, and were commonplace.
Invictus (240 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
Don't hijack the hijacked thread with another semantic argument on liberal verses conservative, please.
dipplayer2004 (1110 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
Lincoln wanted to contain slavery, and preserve the existing Constitutional order.

It was the southern rebels who "overturned the status quo" by taking up arms against the government.
Sbyvl36 (439 D)
19 Aug 13 UTC
Lincoln was Much more conservative than any of the mainstream politicians of today, Klein.
