The President of the United States:
"At some point, we as a country have to reckon with the fact that this type of massacre does not happen in other advanced countries".

Radicals vs ?
A recent conversation made me look once more at what i think of politics...

Also i have a clear idea in my head if what a radical is, but what is their opposite? A non-radical? A (small c) conservative? A compromiser?

I think I need a sentence at the end of each parable to help me understand what the parable was about. If someone can do that on that page, that would be great.

Also, I really appreciated that the "National Academy of Sciences" tends to bias in favors of atheism and evolutionism.

"http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservative_parables
Gold right there."

As I scanned the parables, some I don't like, but the parable "The Wall" is very bad, wrong and not well researched. A total of the fall of wall and communism has been subtly initiated by a controlled oil price policy, then the oil price rose again very strong.

The collapse of the oil price 1986 met the Soviet planned economy at the wrong time. The oil exports to the west since the 1970s were for the mighty of the Kremlin the most important foreign exchange earner, the revenue they broke away to a time, where Gorbachev with his reforms had promised the people more than he could ultimately deliver.

Russians wanted now washing machines and nylons. The economic (and as a result internal) pressure had no other choice for Moscow: so they must gave up the bindings to the satellites in Eastern Europe and some Soviets secretly hoped for a reunited, strong Germany, as appropriate, potential partner for the development of their own, by communism ruined economy.

Oh my god, the parables are so awesome. I love it! I want to have some of them tattooed on my body so that I could read them in moments of doubt

Like, the first one alone - the Broken Bicycle. If anything it would be a parable about social justice that would make me justify socialism. Wtf?

"How the hell did I just now discovered this?"

Another tragic example of the godless public 'school' system. Congratulations on teaching yourself to read.

Site Issue
Hey everyone - our DNS host has gone offline, which means that some users won't be able to get to the site (depending on whether or not their local DNS server has cached webdip's address).

I'm not sure how long this will go on for, but I've paused adjudication until it is fixed.

Geomagnetic Storm
If you are anywhere in the northern third of the United States or Canada, the aurora should be very visible tonight with clear (and dark, outside of cities) skies due to an ongoing geomagnetic storm. Check it out if you can.

Password protected games
So passwords should make sure only invited players join a game ... but sometimes the gametitle gives a very strong hint towards what the password might be... anyone else sometimes tempted to test if a hunch is right? And I wonder about how the mods would react to someone sneaking into a private game by guessing the password ...

Average fleets to solo?
I'm thinking of pulling some stats on the number of fleets that each country usually has in a solo (I think Tru did something similar a while back, but we've had a lot more games finished since then). But, before I do that, let's argue about it on the forum!

Who wants to guess at the average number of fleets each country has in a WTA solo?

Gun Boat for Beginners
Just wondering if there are ways to cooperate without talking? Does anyone ever throw support by guessing and then establish alliances without talking? I am in a game where I have not attacked one front, and they have not attacked me, but no one expects help so there is no planning. Just wondering if there are some patterns or codes people use... or does that defeat the point of playing gunboat?

A GAME Site..,so I am told...
So I have had a few run-ins with the mods. Fair enough...I deservewhat they give me. But I am told that this is PRIMARILY A GAMING SITE, and that my negative forum behavior negatively impacts the GAME SITE. SO......I have noticed that there are a few forum *INSTIGATORS* - FREQUENT FORUM POSTERS who DO NOT PLAY GAMES. Who is with me that the privilege of using the FORUMS should be tied to PLAYING GAMES ON THIS GAME SITE???

Linguistic Harbingers of Betrayal
So I just saw this interesting paper analyzing 249 online diplomacy games, with around 145,000 messages. They're studying which linguistic cues (number of messages, sentiment, politeness, etc) predict upcoming betrayal. Best part: they're going to make all the data available online! http://vene.ro/betrayal/ and http://vene.ro/betrayal/niculae15betrayal.pdf
