World Diplomacy map balance
I'm in two games of World Diplomacy; one as China and the other as USA. Both of these countries have the same problem: They are surrounded by countries, and those countries have no incentive to go anywhere else because all the SC is bordering China/USA, and they don't really have secure SC.

Don't get me started on USA. All the SC a territory away from each other, unable to support. I know it's hard to balance a map for 20 people, but it's ridiculous.

Homophobia?
On a related, but perhaps more serious note, I see that Stephen Fry and his new husband have at a problem on their Honduran honeymoon.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11672513/Stephen-Frys-honeymoon-wrecked-by-homophobia.html

Shoud they have shown more consideration to local sensibilities? Should we condemn Honduran and by extension, for example, Pakistani, homophobia in the forthright terms we use in the UK or the USA? I am not sure, what do people think?

JAmie, that you have NOT declared yourself a troll is my point....you are a fucking liar OR you are just so fucking ignorant of who you are it isn't even funny. Mods....and mods HATE me....have told me in private that you are a problem as much as me.....so before you go patting yourself on the ass, take a chill little boy.


And NO...I don't answer questions from you, because you are a troll, an attack dog, you are a caught and prosecuted LIAR....I have demonstrated in the past that you only tell the parts of stories that favor your pervers opinion...that you refuse to consider the WHOLE story even when alternate illuminating facts are presented. i.e. you are a worthless, lazy ideologue.

And it seems that you ALSO have a crush on me...because you chase me from thread to thread to thread and attack me all the time. I don't know if I should be flattered...or concerned that some Brit pervert loves shitting on me whenever he can (and I assume that YOU of all people can shit on me constantly...)

TWAT? Ohhhhh Jazmie....my little friend. I THOUGHT that YOU of all people were sensitive to sexism....and there you are....using female anatomy as an insult!?!?!?!

So you think it is funny and/or insulting to use street language terms for female body parts as an insult?

Yeah....there it is...Jamie the hypocrite.....as always....the constant, predictable outcome to ANY conversation with Jamie.
krellin (80 DX)
18 Jun 15 UTC
Jamie....I've demonstrated that you are a liar over and over and over and over again over the years. It is only necessary to prove it once. I have proven it MULTIPLE times. Therefore, past proof stands in the present. YOu are a worthless liar. Period.

It will never change.

I have previously exposed you as all of these things. Does everyone want the link?

No problem:

threadID=1069464

"I'm here to have fun, Jamie...I skim the threads...I throw out my half-cocked bullshit, and most of the time it is lazy, half-thought-out, doesn't specifically address what I'm responding to...because I'm more concerned with stirring up shit." - Krellin, Nov 13.

Anyway....you KNOW how I have caught you in lies. I don't need to demonstrate it again and again and again. Unless you have some perverse desire to be humiliated in front of the viewers. But...I will leave you with whatever shit-stained dignity you have left and not drag your pathetic lying ass through the excrement again...

YOu can thank me in private if you choose.

Jamie.....I can provide countless links to your lies. But most people already know what a shitstain you produce....I mean...are...something like that...

Anyway...I don't want to further humiliate you. While you seem to take extra joy in being mean to people....which is ironic, since you whine like a bitch about how hostile the forum is....I do not take extra joy in making you look like a fool. It is truly a burden to me to demonstrate what a gaping ass you are.

It would be much easier if you just apologized to everyone for your bad behavior.

krellin (80 DX)
19 Jun 15 UTC
And isn't that the questions I originally asked? WHAT IS the purpose of this thread? I'd truly like to know what the intent was. I'm not seeking an argument. I"m not seeking personal insults. I'm seeking an answer to what the INTENDED discussion topic of the post was.

Normally, when a person links to an article, they offer some personal commentary to kick off the discussion. That did not happen in this case -- so I am very, very curious to know what the *intent* of the post was.

I don't see ANY humor in it. I an frankly fail to see why anyone would. It's rather pathetic, on BOTH sides of the argument. A douchebag neighbor doesn't like someone's decoration. And the response is that the douchbag bitch with the decoration now seeks to be that much more offensive to the person they offended. And this is humorous? Because NEITHER PERSON is capable of behaving in a civil manner?

I serously have to call into question any douchebag that thinks EITHER actor in this play was behaving properly, or that anything in this is cause for humor.

UNLESS....and this is the catch, isn't it...UNLESS you are judging one person over another based upon some presumed asserted "fact" OTHER than their actual uncivil behavior.

Kremlin: If you think that hanging some rainbow decorations is genuinely (a) offensive (b) actually relentlessly gay, then I feel sad for you (and I feel sad for the person who wrote the letter, too).

In any case, you got an answer to your question as to motive. That you don't like the answer is your problem, not anyone else's. I certainly found the article funny as well.

i won't discuss with you whether or not this person is a homophobe or whether this post attacks christians as a whole (which you'd love to), but the wording is really funny. if you posted a link where a neighbour asked someone to remove a cross from their garden because of the depiction of "contant christianity" (sorry for not being able to think of a funnier way to say this, but you get the idea), then i would've laughed as well.

I think that the herd here is being a little disingenuous. The word 'relentlessly' might appear funny; I guess that depends on the individual's particular sense of humour. My guess is that this was also a side-swipe at theists - two birds with one stone maybe?
Not that it is intrinsically wrong with attacking theists, but maybe generalisations from perverse individual behaviour to the general case are a trite too easy?
