Obama/Department To Halt Deportation of "Dreamer" Illegal Immigrants
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/report-white-house-halt-deportation-young-illegal-immigrants-133800284.html

I applaud this...I think it's a great decision...Obama to give a speech on this shortly around 10:15 Pacific Time. Thoughts on the decision itself and the impact on the 2012 race>

They Improve Their Appetite When They Exercise (Just As Long As No Skinny People Snicker)
http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/gym-bans-skinny-people-173000110.html
Banning skinny people from a gym...because it "brings down morale"...
Isn't that sort of like getting rid of all the smart kids in class because it makes the schmucks who think "The Day After Tomorrow" is scientifically accurate feel badly when they fail? WHEN did the West develop this "fear of failure" self-esteem issue?

There Can Be Only One--Which Actors/Films Pull Off The Character Best?
The many Bonds...the many Doctors...the different Darens...different Marx Bros. and Stooges...the many Hamlets and Holmes...the originals and remakes and re-imaginings...

Give a role with multiple actors, or a story with multiple adaptations, and say which one you take over the other(s) and why...which are the DEFINITIVE portrayals and films, and which are...not? ;)

What is Christianity?
Obviously, I know that its like one of the most popular religion out there but coming from a very anti-christian background, I dont really know what they actually believe. I know the basics like that Jesus is God but like how do you get into heaven and stuff? This is NOT a debating forum.

A bit embarrassing that it ends in a 2-way if it is called a 'class', but I'm interested in other's thoughts. There are some frustrations I had with the game, but I'm not bitter because I lost. Feel free to share your feelings, especially to the 8 (we had a sub) that played.

France CDed and destroyed the game. Still, we played on because there was always one ambitious bastard or another who didn't want to draw. NigeeBaby, you were an excellent Turkey, I thought you were SplitDiplomat. Imagine my surprise when I discovered he was the lousy Russia! I wish we had eliminated him before drawing. Seth played a great game as always. Germany played fine and then he CDed too. A bet of 50 is obviously too little to have a decent game.
And Italy was an idiot,as allways.Nice game gentlmen,now we see little Nigee who is allways first to complain when somebody doesn't vote cancel in a corrupted game. Why he does that? Because he's such a prick too who doesn't vote cancel after a NMR in spring '01 when it benefits him.

When I realised Germany had NMR'd I wasn't going to draw until he CD'ed. If only I had known that Russia was SplitD I wouldn't have been so lenient :-)
I don't want to play games to DRAW, I play to Win or die trying so it's very frustrating that people want to DRAW all the time. I might have to start advertising for people who want to play to a finish regardless of the inevitable CD merchants..... I don't care about points, it's Death or Glory. Anybody else out there frustrated by constantly drawing games when they could be won by someone??
Zmaj (215 D(B))
21 Jun 12 UTC
Yeah, NigeeBaby, you could have won this one. Chicken!!! Wahahaaa
Yes,but you are frustrated when you see somebody else doesn't want to draw regardless of CD merchants. And you are first to cry about it on the forums. Because you are a sick psychopath.

I'm confused here by the highly intelligent SplitD
Can anyone find a thread where I'm complaining when someone doesn't Cancel.?
I think I may have been confused with someone who gives a damn and takes his Diplomacy a bit too serious...... know what I mean !!
It's so rare you get a game where people don't NMR or CD, they have become the great games for me, the ones where nobody leaves until they're dead!!

How can you deal with obtuse 'morons' who will never give credit to opposing arguments?
Serious question. When you're debating, discussing, or arguing with people and they simply won't accept other points of view, even after reams of evidence, how can you respond? Is it best just to walk away or should we strive to educate?

How would you deal with someone utterly convinced that the Earth was flat, for example?
