Wildlife Preserve "Occupied"
Occupied by "armed Oregon militia." Not terrorists. Even though they're armed and provoking a standoff with the federal government and putting countless lives at risk.

Cat v. Dog
I think Cats are far more lovable. It has been proven cats increase positivity in their owners. They also purr and reduce blood pressure and stress. Plus you never hear some asshole say: "honey we gotta take the fucking cat for a walk, AGAIN"

Dogs smell, and they jump on people and slobber on you. Cats should win this thing.

@ Trip: I just wanted to say thanks for de-railing a serious thread with an un-supported ad hominem attack on me.

Go fuck yourself.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
26 Jan 16 UTC
Note that Trip is still online, over half an hour after I called out his unsupported ad-hominem against me, and he has not justified his bullshit.

Trip, seriously, go fuck yourself. You fucking asshole.

The only thing I could see is the reference to the Nazis forcing the Jews to wear yellow stars of David... he could be mad about that. I don't know why though.

I think there are worrying similarities between both cases. If Trip thinks that I am causing offence by suggesting this, he should explain himself.

He won't do that because he is trolling. He is a worthless piece of slime.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
26 Jan 16 UTC
In fact, Trip is the one trivialising the holocaust by his attempts to score cheap-ass points in his attack on me.

reedeer1: That is it. First off, it's a shame what is happening to the people in the article, but to compare a bracelet that asylum seekers are forced to wear so they can receive free food, to Nazis forcing Jews to wear yellow stars before systematically starving, torturing and murdering them, is ridiculous and insulting. If Jamie would just stick to the subject at hand, instead of inserting Jews into the every argument, his problem would solve itself.

Stay classy, Jamie.
reedeer1 (100 D)
26 Jan 16 UTC
nevermind, he wasn't trolling, he is just upset. @trip, I think he was just trying to relate two bad situations by making that reference. I don't think he was just doing it manically. Now that you make your point, it would make sense if a moderator changed the title so that no one was insulted.

Jamie accusing someone else of being facetious? Ha..Hahaha... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And what trip said. The irony of all of this of course, is that Jamie decries other political groups for using the holocaust as a political touchstone, yet when it suits him... well here we are. Of course trip is right, this is not like a yellow star in which citizens of Germany were singled out, separated, deprived of all rights as a racial other and eventually rounded up and murdered (same could be said of other devices for the other persecuted minorities in Germany). At the same time, yes it is alarming. The title should have probably read "this is alarming."

I don't really have anything against Jamie. It's like I said above, he should just stop inserting Jews in to everything.

No, ssorenn, Trip and Santa should not be given the satisfaction of getting my thread locked as a result of their attempts to de-rail a perfectly honest discussion on current issues in race relations in UK politics. No fucking way.

If this thread should be locked, then Trip should be silenced.

I have neither the time, patience, or access to go through all of your past comments, but I'll make you a deal: from now on, when you unnecessarily drag Jews in to an argument, or use them as a poor example, I'll call you out on it.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
26 Jan 16 UTC
Trip, I'll make you a deal. From now on, whenever you attempt to de-rail a genuine political discussion, and then refuse to back up your claims, I'll call you out for being a troll, a de-railer, and a fucking asshole.

Why don't you go tell on us, Jamie.
mature, no I'm not going back to find every time you wrapped an Israel supporter on the knuckles for referencing the holocaust, you know you did it. And mature with the gay Lucifer reference, or whatever that was trying to do.

Wouldn't it be easier just to say, "why yes, I did engage in political hyperbole, and given what happened to the people who actually wore the yellow stars, it might have been in poor taste"

Or am I wrong to say that by the British exercising political control over a group of people this is just the Potato famine all over again!
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
26 Jan 16 UTC
@ trip, @ santa: Why don't you engage with the actual issue being discussed, instead of just launching a personal attack on me?
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
26 Jan 16 UTC
@ Santa:

"no I'm not going back to find every time you wrapped an Israel supporter on the knuckles for referencing the holocaust, you know you did it."

Did I fuck.

I'll make you a deal, Santa.

Find me *three* examples of me doing what you have accused, in the last, let's say, three years, and I will voluntarily leave webDip for ever, request that my account be locked, and never, ever come back.

I fucking dare you. I'm totally serious.

Otherwise, fuck off, for ever.
As trip said and I agree it is wrong, it is not a yellow star.
is there still a way to get to threads and replies?

UN II - Constitution, resolutions and proposals.
The world has changed. The time of a lonely superpower is over. There are 17 powers in the world, and each of them has a vote in the security council in the new United Nations (UN).
The purpose of the game is role-playing game of diplomacy where the diplomacy between countries is in focus, not the actual war. You should choose a role to play (the neutral country opposed all wars, the super-power wanna-be, the federalist, the I'm-just-gonna-fuck-you-up-IS-role, or any other role).
