It was in response to his lab rat comment, krellin. I don't go around preaching my IQ. It's not that great. It's probably lower than most people here.

It's a terrible measure of intelligence, but I don't think you can really call 128 "stupid."

@ghug - I was just poking at bo. He knows it. That's why I said a lab rat has an IQ of 128, two points higher than his previously stated 126. Bo wasn't brgging at all. The newly reported 133 soaund about right for him.

But I do find it funny that the people who get all upset if someone mentions IQ like to avoid telling hteres, usually because it is pretty fucking low for the group they are hanging with. The typical person here has probably a 120 or higher IQ so if someone only had a 107, they'd usually be the one talking about the others bragging. It's such a poker tell...

Well then slavery should be fine in your book. IT was natural at the time. Survival of the fittest. White men were the stronger race and subjugated black men. Evolution at it's most basic. So by your mindset we should go back to which ever race can subdue the other should rusle with an iron fist.

That's not natural, bo. Survival of the fittest and trim the tribe of the weakest. LEt them die and decrease the surplus population, as Scrooge would say. That is what's natural.

Bo- so you believe the government should take the wealth of others through threat of force in order to care for others? Basically the government should enslave the quote rich on quote to confiscate their labor for others?

Draug, I'd gladly tell you my IQ if I could be bothered to take a legitimate test. I took a bullshit one online several years ago and got north of 150, but that means nothing and it's all I can give you.

@Draug ... I would say that if that didn't make me sound Hitler-esque. On the days I feel more cynical I do say things like that. For obvious reasons I don't go around preaching it.

@krellin ... I believe that the USA's federal government has three roles alone: protect the country from attack, maintain the environment that this country is known for, and protect as help citizens to stay on their feet if they need the help. In general, if they are looking for work or are working but still below the poverty line, they deserve a bit of help from those that are more fortunate. You are, like you usually do, demonstrating an immense amount of bias in the way you twist my words. No, the government should not take the wealth of others; others that have the money, possessions, and TIME to give to those that need help from their FELLOW COUNTRYMEN should offer it as a gesture of patriotism and wanting the best for Americans. No, the government should not enslave the "rich"; instead, the government should reward the rich by providing tax breaks (on a personal level, not business level) for charitable things, as they already do in some cases. In some cases I'd argue that this is best done at a local/state level than federal.

@hecks ... go for it. And I can't stand most of what Locke says. Really the natural law aspect is the only part I agree with. Just sayin.

Bo -- it was a *very* simple question. As it gets directly to the heart of the matter -- of what an authoritarian government we operate under, and it offends you, you refuse to answer the question directly. I didn't "twist your words"....I asked a question. I defined the situation AS IT IS...and you twisted and avoided a direct answer.

Yes or No, Bo -- the government confiscates my money every paycheck UNDER THREAT OF FORCE and gives my money to other people. It's a very simple question.

If the answer is yes....tell me if that IS or IS NOT a characteristic of an authoritarian government?

'm trying to help you here, Bo....help you learn to step outside your government programming and learn to think for yourself...

Chime in with suggestions for what you'd like to see covered in this series, what you think doesn't receive enough face time in other articles, what receives too much, etc. There's going to be a general article as well so if you've got more general material you want to see, throw it up here too.

IDEA: Enclaves & Exclaves
I've get a hard-on from keeping non-SC territories neutral or the color of an eliminated player; maybe it's the Yankee in me, but I hate seeing the entire board a single color -- it just seems so totalitarian.... So, here's an idea: what if you got an extra SC worth of "supply" for surrounding such "unowned" territories?

Reading on Dip Strategy
I'm playing a game with a few friends who have played Dip but may be a bit rusty. I'd love to share some links to some links to good articles to read on their respective countries. I used to read a lot on diplomacy-archive, but it seems to be incomplete in describing different openings etc. What do you guys consider to be the definitive guide of all things Diplomacy?
