Since you say policies don't work, show me where your's have.

I need help with a quick question please...

Hi! I am starting a new thread where I will post a new short story each day this week (each business day, anyway). I am hoping people will read and (if inclined) discuss the stories.

The topic of this forum thread was "Is Wal-Mart's business practices good or fair? Both or neither?"

the liberals will probably like my response and the conservatives hate it, but I think it will be an interesting discussion for us here and I got to refer back to a HuffPo article listed here sometime back. So COOL!

I've set up a website where I'm putting some of my working essays. These aren't completed but rather things to come back to and improve upon whenever I feel like it.

Hi all, trying to fill up a fantasy football league before the draft date. The league can be found at the following address:
http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leaguesetup/st/ownerinfo?leagueId=1401224

It's a deep league, looking for committed players out for a good time. Auction type draft tonight at 8 EST.

20 point ante; 17 anonymous players; public chat only; it's like gunboat only better; join now -- http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=125205

Unbelievably, noone has petitioned against our recently exposed communications monitoring, so I started one here

I guess foreplay is about to end huh?

Just what North Dakota need I guess......

And today we remember that the people on trial are not the people that handcuffed children and old women and shot them in the head, but the person who told us about it.

I couldn't find the advertise live games thread so:

Gunboat! Join fast, 9 minutes! http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=125563

So until today I was blissfully unaware of what the VMAs even were, let alone (Facebook jokes aside) what happened there with a certain Ms. Cyrus and...you know, forgoing all of...that (though really, WTF?!) I'd rather ask another question--assuming that most here likewise couldn't care less about Ms. Cyrus or Mr. Bieber or *Insert Pop Icon For the Masses Here*...what DO we care about, and why does the majority gravitate to these things we raise eyebrows at?

The first ever Dipofool was Diplomat1824, and while he left this site many years ago his spirit lives on. It is time to name his successor. Who among us has earned the respect of his fellow members to be worthy of this esteemed title. Nominations are now open.

Egyptian detained a bird for questioning as a possible spy. You have to watch everything these days.

...your professor, a woman, asks *everyone* in the class to post an introduction then posts public responses *only* to the women in the class?

So far, not a woman has been missed, and not a man has been replied to.

I am the relative of my local Member of Parliament. As such, my desire to go into politics is hindered by the fact that I will be accused of nepotism no matter what I achieve by my own merit. What is the best thing to do in this situation?

gameID=125205 -- anonymous players -- public press only -- no private messages -- 10 day phases -- 20 ante -- two days remain until "kickoff," and we only need four more players!

gameID=125354

Where'd he go?
I left webDip over the summer, and I came back recently, but have seen no mention of him at all.
Did he decide we weren't worthy? Or did he just impart upon us his knowledge of Everything, then fade away, his work here done, to another forum where his adventure starts anew.

If anyone wants to play in a league

Consulting the forum.

There is a very obvious reason associated with this, specifically that we are discussing the same thing over and over again, and not getting anywhere. I certainly enjoyed my time on this forum, but now I am moving on to a Traditionalist Catholic forum (http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com) because it sounds like a fun trolling project and I can't let Sbyvl get away from me. If you wish to contact me, you can't, because phones didn't exist in 1625 and that's the time I live in.

There I no particular reason associated with this, except that we are discussing the same thing over and over again, and not getting anywhere. I definitely enjoyed my time on this forum, but now I am moving on to a Traditionalist Catholic forum (http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com). If you wish to contact me, my email will be posted on my profile.

I do have 2 games to finish, so I will hang around until then. But my decision is definite and I will be gone within a few weeks.

JCBrian97's original thread is locked. However,
"Not a tournament and no special rules. 36hr phases to avoid NMRs, but ready-up ASAP. 5 pt WTA games. I'll join as many as my points will allow. Last series was fun and hopefully this will be too. Anyone interested?"
