The Great Debate: Mujus, Crazy Anglican, Nigee, semck, SC vs. My Fellow Atheists?
It seems as if we have a new wave of vocal and talented Christian thinkers, who certainly seem as willing as I to type on the matter, albeit from the other end--so, care to debate, say, 2-4 Christians vs. the same # of Atheists, on a thread w/ a neutral moderator, we each give an opening statement in succession (say, 500-1000 words or less), one rebuttal per person, and then open it up for questions, side with the most +1s for their comments "wins?"

Sexist Pig, Re-Heated Family Guy Leftovers, or Fresh New Take--McFarlane as Oscars Host?
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/closeread/2013/02/seth-macfarlane-and-the-oscars-hostile-ugly-sexist-night.html So the reviews for the Aesthete Super Bowl known as the Oscars are in...and pretty much it's an even split, some loving the job Seth McFarlane did and others, like Ms. Davidson here, finding his turn as Oscar host incredibly offensive...and "misogynistic" seems to be the chief complaint against him--agree with that, disagree...your take?

Potential Multi Issue
I'm new to website after playing a few IRL games, and my housemate who also works at the same place as me is probably thinking about joining. However, I know there are issues relating to people using multiple accounts, and if that's done by IP address is will most likely look like both our accounts are the same person's.
What's the best way for us to avoid this, or who should I contact to discuss it further?
Thanks!

Are you the one who will rule the world?
For the easy payment of 15 D, you can enjoy the chance to rule the world with The World Wide Schlieffen Plan ( http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=111246 ) . If you can take 10 minutes out of you day for possible world domination, than this deal is for you. In fact this deal is just to good. I'm gonna have to put a time limit of 7 days for this. I would wait that long though. there's only 13 spaces left.

Looking for some advice. My wife says I should wash second-hand clothes before I wear them, in case there are bugs or something in them. But is that going far enough? What if there are demons in my "new" corduroys? Should I exorcise them first? Pat Robertson says better safe than sorry.

I'm two pages late and seeing red.

"For example, tying in the premise of the article - having worked with children from nursery through high school at various times, I noticed that boys, when fighting, tend to *fight* - i.e. push, shove, punch...they do their harm, and then can make up and move on being friends. Girls, on the other hand, from the earliest ages, tend to be far less physical...but they do harm one another through the use of words and social manipulation - emotional warfare that is based on, apparently, their increased language abilities. " - Krellin

Right, boys fight violently and girls fight nonviolently because of natural, inevitable tendencies, not, say, the fact that boys are given army men and action figures as toys, with violent shows marketed to boys only, while girls are given dolls and ponies and other non-violent toys.

What you're doing is saying that kids act a certain way and therefore should be raised a certain way, which in turn causes kids to act a certain way. You can't use an outcome's existence to justify actions to cause that outcome.

In fairness, omno, I've heard mothers make the same complaint who DON'T want their boys buying into violent culture and discourage any kind of violent imagery in their lives -- the complaint, that is, that their boys, despite all efforts, are much more violent and physical than their girls.

Totally anecdotal, of course, but so is the whole subthread.

Omno - you idiot - I never said you RAISE a boy violent. But if you are going to be a fucking retard and deny that boys have a tendency to physical violence, while girls have a tendency towards verbal.emotional violence, then you will **fail** in raising them.

I'm NOT advocating violence, you fucking moron! I'm saying it is a natural trait, and you need to watch for it.

God...moron. PLEASE DO NOT procreate.

"+35....for Thucy. amen, brother. Love my wife...she loves me...and hell yeah, 35 years is awesome bro. Wife and I have survived some shit....bet you have survived more....and I'll bet....

....You understand that LIFE...and RELATIONSHIPS....are MORE about COMRPOMISE and agreement, than they are about all these *fucked up* liberal ideas about gender roles, and shit. Telll me, true or false...would a Liberal Life have given you 35 years? Or three divorces?"

Amen, couldn't agree more brother.

Men and women are different and should be treated as such. They should complement each other. You don't have to have the same treatment to be equal. You can separate things out, it will still be equal. Liberals don't think so - one of their many mistakes.

simple
This whole thread is an entire straw man argument if you ask me.

Yes, men and women are different. In fact, all people are different. One of my daughters likes dolls and princesses. The other likes football and physical violence (putting her on Judo quickly). People are different and people need to be treated differently. Full stop.

And Krellin, one of these days you should really explain why you seem to feel such enjoyment by making threads with pseudo-controversial content, then calling people names in every post you make. I for one am very curious what your psychological pay-off is.
Krellin? Strawman argument? Noooooooo. really?

Michelle Obama presents Best Picture Award
Cult of personality much? Can the Obamas refrain from inserting themselves into every damn corner of American life? Who thought this was a good idea--among both the White House staff and the Oscars producers? Can we leave politics out of anything? Why were military personnel used as props in a banal entertainment industry awards program?

Seriously, how is this not creepy and inappropriate?
