good news .... shedding some light on the dark net
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28326128

This is what I call a great result ..... I wish that were all of them but I can't help thinking there may be thousands more.
Anyway it's a bit like Gove being sacked ..... a good start !!

BNP Paribas extorted by US government for $9 billion fine
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this.

US crushed French bank even though it violated no international, or bilateral law, simply because trade is done in dollars. This is abuse of power and signifies that the US no longer upholds a free trade system. It will use the fact that trade is done in dollars to destroy people even if they broke no law.

Essay writing tips
We had fiction, so non-fiction now. Sometimes I really struggle to maintain structure for 10-15,000 words and ramble off in another direction. How do you write a clear concise essay?

Maybe I'm being over sensitive...
But there seems to be a fair bit of misogyny in some posts. All in jest, but still, some posts that are misogynistic in nature. I'm curious as to whether there would be so many if there were more women on the site.

No guys, you can't treat men and women differently. We're all exactly the same.

Of course, if we are going to run the forum as women would, we would have to call each other bitch, criticize one another’s clothes, and beat the hell out of whomever is NOT present…and then be besties when they show up.

Two points

First, I was unfair to Zultan. I think he is trying

Second, you are wrong, Al. Even when women aren't around the men I run with don't stand around being crude and complain about women. Why? Because we aren't sexists and don't buy into the stupid stereotypical gender roles. Maybe that's the company you keep, but don't presume to speak for all men

Neither should Ogion presume to speak for all and try to assert his particular beliefs and lifestyle on any of us.

I wish people would realize how outdated the word "slut" is no matter what your opinion on feminism is. It's 2014 - if you don't like having sex and orgasms, you're really fucking weird. It hardly carries the social stigma it did a few years back.

" It's 2014 - if you don't like having sex and orgasms, you're really fucking weird. It hardly carries the social stigma it did a few years back."

I wish people would realize how outdated prejudice towards asexuality is. There are plenty of people who are asexual. It's no more "weird" than anything else. When will people learn that not everyone subscribes to their own sexual habits, whatever they might be?

16 Jul 14 UTC
Fair enough - replace "weird" with "uncommon" or whatever you prefer if that's better. The point is that "slut" doesn't even mean anything. It's apparently good for dirty talk (I wouldn't know, lol) but it doesn't really mean anything.

@Putin: so you don't EVER complain about work, sports, or women? It's a generalization, not a fucking law. Fuck off.
Putin33 (111 D)
16 Jul 14 UTC
If you mean that it doesn't have the same degrading punch it used to in more puritanical eras then you're probably right. It still is a degrading term though.
semck83 (229 D(B))

Putin definitely complains about work and sports, but I think you suggested he complained about all three, not any of the three. I haven't seen him complain about women.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
16 Jul 14 UTC
I didn't mean complain about all women (like "all women are bitches" type shit), I meant we complain about the women in our lives - wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers. Who doesn't?

Just imagine a world run by women ..... or the Knesset run by a women, or Hamas or Isis or Afghanistan or Syria or Russia or China or Iran or Iraq or UK ..... oh no sorry not the UK if she turned out anything like Thatcher.
The world would be a different place as the leaders would not be wanting to fight every 5 minutes to make up for the fact they have small dicks (e.g. Hitler, Stalin, Netanyahu)
Why don't we get women in as Mods .... how cool would that be.

"Just imagine a world run by women ....."

I believe it was Madeline Albright who said something like, "If you think the world would be better if it were run by women you've forgotten high school."

Discuss skills that help you write good prose and poetry.

I'll start:
If you are trying to write an argumentative piece, it helps a lot to be concise. A long-winded piece that just says the same thing in ten different ways just leads readers astray.

Obiwan where are you?!
I just finished watching Joss Whedon's production of Much Ado About Nothing and wanted to learn if you had seen it and what your impression was if you had. I quite enjoyed it and felt it was, at the least, comparable to Branagh's version.

There is a case going on in the UK about whether our surveillance service have broken any laws. As they can't confirm or deny what they have done the case is proceeding based on "agreed hypothetical facts". Is this bending the language too far?
