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.

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?

Looks like we could all be going back into Iraq

Isis has issued a fatwa ordering all females between 11 and 46 to undergo FGM. Any country looking to invade would now almost certainly get public support.

Octavious (2701 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

Which public are you thinking of? I can't think of any country that would have public support for an invasion.

Maniac (189 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

I think if a country like the UK were inclined to go back to Iraq and stated that 4m women are at risk of having their genitals mutilated, I think that would receive public support. I'm the most ardent advocate for countries resolving disputes by dialogue and diplomacy, but even I would support protecting 4m young women from physical harm.

Russia? :P

But yeah, you're right. Our P.M. in Canada was war hawk in opposition but is gun shy in power.

Ukraine would get help before anyone else, at this point.

The only one likely to invade is Iran and only because they want the country and to be in charge,

Maniac (189 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

I'd be really surprised if Canada the US EU UK or NATO gave any military support to the Ukraine. Starting a war with Russia just isn't a good option.

Hellenic Riot (1626 )

Iran will be the only country going in in force. Even if you could get tacit public support for an invasion in the west, the war costs would require even more Austerity which would rapidly burn away that support and end the current economic growth we've just about managed to foster.

Theodosius (232 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

Yeah, HR has it right with war costs.

Canada's PM has promised $ and weapons to Ukraine, but hasn't delivered. But that sums up his decade in power.

Theodosius (232 )

The real question is this just political pandering & posturing to the extremists or is this actually going to be done?

Theodosius (232 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

Granted, they are extreme already, but still, some elements are more extreme than others.

Theodosius (232 )
24 Jul 14 UTC

Doesn't look very convincing that this is something that is going to be pushed, at this point, if it is real. There are groups other than ISIS in control, too, and pushing for power.

If it is real, doubtless some of this will happen, but ISIS has a lot on its plate, wars to fight, that sort of thing. It feels more like internal political pandering or a PR set-up by opposing groups.

It is probably worth noting that FGM has existed in parts of Iraq for some time. Inconveniently the place it is most common is the Kurdish bit (something like two thirds of women have had it done to them), and we've gone to a huge amount of trouble recently to portray them as the good guys.

You have to laugh, don't you?

PR and spin is a wonderful thing.

Randomizer (722 )

PR is the ability to say nice doggy about the pit bull biting your hand off.

The US has been able for years to support anyone they thought was better than their opponents in spite of them being blood thirsty dictators or worse.

goldfinger0303 (3157 )

The Kurds are the only thing in Iraq with a functioning government though. When the choice is between mutilated genitals or outright sectarian voilence and bombings, there isn't really one good option

Octavious (2701 )

I have to admit that if it was male genital mutilation I'd be rather inclined to take my chances with the bombing

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.
