ESPN Streak for the Ca$h
Anyone here play this with at least semi-seriousness, and is there interest in making a webDip group on ESPN for friendly competition? I haven't been picking too much but with CFB and NFL seasons starting up in a couple weeks, I plan on trying again. I've gotten up to W21 before during football season.

Conway's Game of Life
I suspect many of you are familiar with Conway's game of life, and there may have been a thread on this topic in the past, but I have been messing around with different patterns and I find this 'game' simply amazing. Such simple physics, but such complex and cool things can happen. If you aren't familiar with the game check out the rules here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life
For those who do know about this, what is the coolest pattern you have seen??

Tony Stewart Accidentally Runs Over/Kills Driver During Race
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtBH9FJ3LOU I have never watched a NASCAR or Sprint Cup race in my life...because frankly, I couldn't care less about cars going around and around in a circle 500 times (I don't doubt it's hugely challenging and takes talent, it's just not for me) but wow...what a way to go. :/ Getting run over like that mid-race, shit...

Is it possible for there to be a war where all sides are actually *right*?
We're all familiar with the idea that there are wars in which everyone is at fault. Let's consider the hypothetical opposite: Is it possible for there to be a war where all sides are actually *right*?
(This is somewhat related to the "religious people so anti-humanity" topic but I think this deserves it's own thread.)

good generic role-playing game system for a fantasy setting?
i'm looking forward to playing a few sessions with friends/relatives, but haven't yet decided what system to use. can somebody recommend one or two systems? i wouldn't want to use more than three dice (only if there's an easy conting method like in fate), but wouldn't like no dice either. yet no other ideas on what the system should cover.

Evacuated where? The Egyptian border is closed and Israel won't house them in Israel.

So where should these 1.7 million people evacuate to?

And every massacre Israel commits is justified on the grounds of 'human shields'. Because people living in their own homes are somehow 'human shields'. No they're human beings, you just don't give a shit if they get slaughtered because they're Arabs.

Putin33 (111 D)
23 Jul 14 UTC
Israel doesn't want a peaceful solution. They broke the truce, they rampaged through the West Bank, they launched this aggression on Gaza. It was all preplanned to destroy the unity government.

Nobody should work with Israel.

"concerning how Hamas is deliberately telling citizens to ignore Israeli warnings to evacuate?"

Has Israel commented at all about how they lied about the three teens being kidnapped in order to ratchet up anti-Arab sentiment throughout Israel and provoke a war?

Thought not.

Trip you are so naive, Israel have to keep provoking the Palestinians into violence so the USA keep the weapons coming.
Also if there were peace that dodgy subject would come up about the 1967 borders and then Israel would have to start killing again, they don't want to go back to the 1967 borders, they want to occupy more Palestinian territory, not less, that is why the fighting works for them, it lets them invade.
If the USA stopped sending the weapons the Israelis may be a little more circumspect.

"So where should these 1.7 million people evacuate to? "

Over 20 Muslim countries and none of them want them either. No one talks about the Right of Return for Jews that had to leave those countries for Israel giving up properties and land in the rare places where they were allowed to own it.

If Israel could take them in why can't the Muslims?
Putin33 (111 D)
23 Jul 14 UTC
"Over 20 Muslim countries and none of them want them either"

Jordan is housing millions of Palestinians. A majority of their freaking population is Palestinian. Many other Arab countries are also housing them.

So try to come up with a new story.

It's really fucking rich that Israeli apologists create a massive refugee problem and then bitch at everybody else for not housing enough of them, when they're already filled to the brim with refugees from all the other conflicts that Israel has had a hand in.
Putin33 (111 D)
23 Jul 14 UTC
"If Israel could take them in why can't the Muslims?"

So you admit Israel could take them in but isn't it? Meanwhile you're insisting that Palestinians evacuate when you admit they have *no where to go*.
Putin33 (111 D)
23 Jul 14 UTC
"I'm against the jihadists,"

You're against all Arabs. You just said they're all in on this anti-israeli conspiracy to destabilize Israel via the Palestinians, which is why Israel has to besiege them with jets and tanks them every 2-3 years.

"Jordan is housing millions of Palestinians. A majority of their freaking population is Palestinian. Many other Arab countries are also housing them. "

Jordan kicked the Palestinians out of the country in the 1970s for attempting to assassinate the king and take over the country. Kuwait kicked them out after Gulf War I for cheering on Iraq. Syria and Iran are giving Hamas the cold shoulder for not supporting Syria.

"Maybe if the Palestinians would have evacuated as Israel advised them to, they wouldn't get killed"

On this point:

"On Monday night, a strike hit an eight-story apartment building in downtown Gaza City —*** an area where Israeli officials had urged Gazans to take shelter.*** The building collapsed as rescue crews were inside, killing more people. The death toll, at least 13, was still being tallied."

http://news.yahoo.com/un-school-sheltering-gaza-displaced-hit-israel-shells-170242373.html;_ylt=AwrBEiJ8ms5Tpz4ALjvQtDMD

"The official said a team, ***with Israeli clearance***, was at the school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA in Al-Maghazi when Israeli tank shelling resumed, hitting the building on Tuesday afternoon."

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/22/gaza-displaced-palestinians-not-safe

"The Gaza Strip is a densely populated enclave – around 1.6 million people in 146 square miles, sealed by both an Egyptian and Israeli blockade. Israel has now ordered some 43% of the territory to be evacuated. The schools that have opened to receive those fleeing are already overcrowded – and many Palestinians in Gaza can recall how in the 2008-09 conflict, even those schools could not guarantee safety."

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/07/22/372382/israel-tanks-shell-un-school-in-gaza/

"Israeli forces have attacked a UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians against the Israeli offensive in the besieged Gaza Strip."

Gazans are routinely told to flee and then where they run to is bombed is as well.

And as the article says, they're not chanting "Gas the Israelis," it's "Gas the JEWS."

In France. And Germany.

Because THAT'S where I want to hear that sort of shit said!

Pfff...the Jews don't need a homeland...don't need to defend it...

They'll be safe elsewhere, right? France has the third-most Jews in the world, and it's a MODEL for protecting its Jews, right?
Even in this instance the Jews in France have the full weight of the state and police force behind them, which is more than can be said for many persecuted groups throughout history (including Jews themselves).
