Obama Publicly Supports Same-Sex Marriage
http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/president-obama-affirms-his-support-for-same-sex-marriage.html

Well, it IS an election year...nevertheless, not exactly a great vote-winner in states he won in 2008, necessarily...so--thoughts (both on Obama's backing it, the issue, and what impact this may have on the 2012 race?)

The Game, by Neil Strauss
This is hilarious; the thread titled "What's so great about this move" accidentally triggered my vague memories of this book. Anybody read it? Anybody had a life-changing experience because of it? :-)

I'm not really sure what it entails but i'm pretty sure i agree with Randal on this one : http://xkcd.com/800

Have a look at Baba Brinkmans rap guide to evolution and then tell me if 'the game' and his material in sexual selection overlap at all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoQa5_NQDcc

Anybody read it? - Yup!
Anybody had a life-changing experience because of it? - Also yup! I decided to stop talking to the person who recommended I read it.

Lol mafia I feel a mute coming up ;-)
I'm not recommending the book to anyone by the way. What interests me on some level is the sociological meaning of it. (If any.)
Mafialligator (239 D)
09 May 12 UTC
I'm not muting you. Do you mean you're muting me?

The sociological meaning of it is that we live in a society that views women as objects and teaches men that they are entitled to have sexual access to women, and so when someone comes along and tells them that it's possible to manipulate, lie to and denigrate women in order to get them to sleep with you, they don't really see anything morally wrong with it.

By the way there seems to be a contradiction in that. If you read it entirely, then apparently you were interested enough to finish it. So why would you stop talking to anyone who makes you read something you find interesting enough to finish it? :)

I read the first two chapters. I was going to give up after the first, but when I went to my friend and said "Uhhhh... problematic" I was urged to give it another chance. So I read another chapter, and decided I couldn't put up with it's misogyny any more, and gave up for good.
redhouse1938 (429 D)
09 May 12 UTC
No I'm not muting you Mafialligator. For one you have one of the coolest nicknames on the site. And he actually starts commenting in a later chapter on how misogynistic he's become and what he believes it means.
Mafialligator (239 D)
09 May 12 UTC
Well if it's making him more misogynist maybe he should stop...

The socio implications of baba brinkmans rap are some of the more interesting/funny bits... I heartily reccomend it to everyone with an hour to spare/kill.

I read it, I wouldn't say it changed my life. It has some useful pieces and some stuff I think is ridiculous.

Why can't we see message history after a game is over? It would be interesting for learning and review about communication strategy.

Yet Another Rule Clarification
1. If you attempt to move to a square occupied by your own unit that is supporting another unit do you cut off support?
2. If you support a move to a square occupied by your own unit that you hope will move and an opposition unit attacks the same square without support do you win the square and dislodge your own unit?

I think the answer to both is "no" but I want to be sure.

What's So Great About This Move?
I've been working with Vaft on a more detailed Openings comparison for each country and I came across what appears to be an anomaly and I'm curious, of all the Turkish openings, which do you favor (S01 moves only) and what do you think about this: Con -> Bul, Smy -> Ank, Ank -> BLA?

What goes on in the North (A Gunboat's tale)
As England, sometimes it can be quite mind numbing in a Gunboat to watch a powerful Turkey or Austria have a field day with inept adverseries all around. The reason why its so irritating is because often France, Germany and England waste many good years battling for ground to retake or steal a lone center like Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Brest, Liverpool ect ect.
