The Great Filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter

In short the great filter theory suggests that we have not encountered intelligent life yet because there is a "great filter" that prevents planetary life from reaching advanced intelligence necessary for galactic expansion.

Allies vs Axis Yes or No and a new map
basically WW2 map with teams Free France GB Russia USA vs Germany Italy Japan Vichy France. If a teammate gets taken over your team can liberate your teammates territory which would bring him back but its only the territories he started out with. you can also move through your teammates territories and help defend them if a team dominates the map it would asked them to continue if all 4 players say yes this reverts back to the old diplomacy game type as a free for all.

Banned by a moderator: moron
I'm glad that the mods banned 'Peyton is back,' userID=63701, for his annoying spamming, but I dislike the fact that they cited such a childish-sounding reason. 'Banned by a moderator: spamming' would be a much more appropriate and 'adult' reason. I guess I'm just disappointed that the moderators would demean themselves and their reputation by acting so deplorably.

Why do we tolerate people within our society like obiwan?
I sometimes agree with these kind of people, that if we locked them all in a prison and killed them, we could free the world of ignorance and hatred within a week. Maybe the last war of man will be between the progressives and the ones holding us back.

nazi comic book...WTF >=(
Ok today I went to a comic book store with my little cousin he's 6 years old and it was his birthday so we walked around the store to try to find his favorite comic book series he didn't know know the name of it but he would always read it when he was there with his older brother which of course didn6 care what his little brother was looking at.

Idk how to spell this comics correctly but it was called like welhium or something the story from what I read is that the nazi's made super aryans these people basically have all of marvel super heros and villians each person has atleast 2 -3 powers and there are about millions of these people so reading the comic further apparently these super nazis are literally killing all regularly humans their leader even imprisoned hitler and later killed him through a heart attack that he did mentally to hitler.

Later the rest of the comic is a mission for this super nazi women that single handedly stopped the Normandy invasion D-day killing all in her way she even made it to london THEN all hell broke loose SHE literally wiped out the allies fighting power on the western front the comic ended with the decapitation of Winston Churchill by her and it literally shows all of it blood and gore and they have this comic for anybody to pick up and look at it

Many comics are violent and many involve cartoonish "Nazi" villains. Six year olds probably don't belong at a comic store.
THELEGION (0 DX)
24 Jul 14 UTC
Yes I know that but this wasn't any cartoonish Nazi villians this was full blown gore just think of it like the holocaust meets Pandora's box and add a splash of the end times part from the bible and that sums up the horror of this comic I am surprised that they had it in the marvel section of the store.

"Get used to it kids are sending photos of themself naked on istagram at 10 years old these days."

You know most don't, right?

@THELEGION: what you should do really depends on what kind of kid he is. If you tell him how bad the nazi's were, will he understand how severe it is or will he say 'Cool!'?

Also, assuming he has parents, it would be very wrong to just show him a Holocaust video without permission from those parents. If you think it's a big deal, tell his parents, say you're sorry for not paying attention to what the kid reads and perhaps say you're willing to explain it to the kid or even show a Holocaust video, but *LET THE PARENTS DECIDE!*

That's what I would do anyway. Showing a Holocaust video to someone else's child feels almost as wrong as having 'the talk' with a random little girl who just wants to pet your dog.

I think it's probably better to let him think that nazi's are cool than to absolutely horrify him with Holocaust video's though. Again though, not your decision IMO. I'd say you made enough bad decisions for today.

So what you're saying is a six year old duped you into buying him a comic obviously aimed at much older readers? Did he also mention that his parents let him watch horror films and stay up late and he's allowed as many sweets as he wants because he's been so good recently?

He'll go far, this kid. :)

"I think it's probably better to let him think that nazi's are cool than to absolutely horrify him with Holocaust video's though."

While I agree there's no need to horrify a 6 year old with a Holocaust video...

I likewise don't think a kid should think Nazis are "cool," even if the kid's just making an innocent mistake...

i never bought him it he would always read it when he went there his brother and there are holocaust videos for children. they showed me and my class it in first grade it wasn't cryptic like they are now it was just a way to show how bulling can become very extreme. I did tell his parents and they were very shocked yet they punished his older brother and not him. i asked them why not him too. they said they couldn"t think of a way to punish him and i suggested to show him a holocaust video or atleast take him to a museum. although of course they didn't agree at first but he has been acking out lately saying pretty nasty stuff about people so they game me premission to help them with his problems. In there eyes i"m like a second older brother to him and i"m trying to look out for him.

Why are we so stubborn?
So I have a quick question why are diplomacy players so stubborn. Even in the event where you are offering a deal that equally benefits us and you why are we just so stubborn? Any ideas? Does this stubbornness hinder or help with achieving solos?

Hamas Rejects ANOTHER Ceasefire
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4549051,00.html "Speaking in Qatar, political chief Khaled Mashal demands Israel lift blockade, says Gaza-based group will never agree to disarm." I post another thread to specifically call attention to this...once AGAIN Hamas rejects a ceasefire. Demands met or no...surely if they're a people of peace they should allow for a ceasefire, right? But they've rejected it...again...but this is really Israel perpetuating the war. NEVER Hamas.
