What is the point in "Anonymously + Without chat"?
As far as I understand "Diplomacy" game is all about negotiation. But I see many games here with no chat - what is the point?

This Time on Philosophy
This is NOT a thread about religion. No affirming Jesus as divine-ergo-correct, we're just comparing philosophies. If you want to argue the miracles are somehow parabolic--ie, that the Bread/Loaves one demonstrates a tenant of his philosophy-fair game, but no arguing on whether or not he "did it." So let's play the Jeffersonian game and just compare arguably the West's two most important philosophic influences--Socrates or Jesus, who has the better life view?

Human Rights Watch believes White south africans being murdered should be ignored.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_farm_attacks

Human Rights Watch, a group which respects its own activist credentials, believes that anyone who cares about White Africans (caucasian people who are native to Africa) being raped and murdered is racist.

9/11
so... for those official theorists i think i can still give you more on 9/11 because this one obviously did have high ranking american official involvement and because it was so significant to the world. and it shows how coverups are possible that involve academia, government and the media working on concert.

It's a pity you won't respond. Most of my replies to your unsourced copy & pasted reddit forum post were very brief.

Also: The Republic was overthrown? On what date did this occur?

I honestly don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks about 9/11, and to be honest, I hardly ever think about it anymore -- I probably shouldn't have even started commenting in here about it. It's pathetic to me that people want so desperately to defend the criminals that did this, and who are using it as fuel to destroy our Republic. Just remember, "9/11 changed everything!"

"Incidentally - 123,000 ASCE members support the NIST report; as do 80,000 AIA members; 120,000 ASME members; 370,000 IEE members; 40,000 AlChE members; and 35,000 AIAA members. "

i find this extremely hard to believe. where is the source on this? it sounds like complete bs. a/e for 9/11 had individual engineers and architects, at risk to their careers, go in and sign the petition themselves. if this support you are talking about is some head of their professional organization signing on their behalf, then i am sorry but that does not count for anything.

ok so i looked into it and nist does claim that the planes contributed to the collapse, but the ongoing fires were the primary cause.

and for people who are still repeating this crap that wtc7 went down not only because of fires, here is a source from nist itself

http://www.nist.gov/el/disasterstudies/wtc/faqs_wtc7.cfm

"8. Why did WTC 7 collapse, while no other known building in history has collapsed due to fires alone?
The collapse of WTC 7 is the first known instance of a tall building brought down primarily by uncontrolled fires. The fires in WTC 7 were similar to those that have occurred in several tall buildings where the automatic sprinklers did not function or were not present. These other buildings, including Philadelphia's One Meridian Plaza, a 38-story skyscraper that burned for 18 hours in 1991, did not collapse due to differences in the design of the structural system (see the answer to Question 9).
Factors contributing to WTC 7's collapse included: the thermal expansion of building elements such as floor beams and girders, which occurred at temperatures hundreds of degrees below those typically considered in current practice for fire-resistance ratings; significant magnification of thermal expansion effects due to the long-span floors in the building; connections between structural elements that were designed to resist the vertical forces of gravity, not the thermally induced horizontal or lateral loads; and an overall structural system not designed to prevent fire-induced progressive collapse."

After Obama
I've recently criticized Barack Obama rather severely. He deserved every letter of it. The alternative? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Jon Huntsman Jr. That's the guy I really hope (for the US at least) that he'll succeed this absolute clown of a President Obama.
