Araysar be trollin. It is a hard concept to grasp for some, but if you don't believe the simulator you are either trolling or obstinate.

Was doing shitty as Carthage, had shitloads of people at war with me and my territory was too spread out to defend. I know some of you all are talking about how you are beating fights outnumbered 5 to 1, but I am surely not there yet. Restarted as Celtics and it is alot easier. Just completed...

Long discussed puzzle and a good example of how humans just aren't good at conditional probability. However, stupid also because on an actual gameshow you aren't dealing with unbiased chance. They are setting it up and can manipulate if he opens up a box or just takes your first choice based on...

No doubt Tanoomba's signature is silly and immature. Be the better man though bro.

Attacking his degree is kind of silly, it isn't like he is putting himself out there as an authority based on his teaching. Am I not allowed to talk about this stuff either? Also, in case I am not allowed to talk about this subject unless I can link it to a field closer to...

Don't bluff in foreign policy, I think is the lesson here. Also, don't insert yourself in a conflict where you have no stake in the game. You should always be willing to let your enemies kill other enemies of yours.

I still can't believe so many people are convinced Syria will hand over the weapons. Lets say Syria delays for some months, do you think that suddenly Obama will be happier to bring this all up? What force will make Syria keep their word? Putin already "won" this, he won't want to make an issue...

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...-outside-home/ The question was whether it was constitutional for a person to carry a firearm on your person or in a vehicle that was loaded or immediately accessible. This should make me feel a bit safer now when going through IL with a loaded firearm...

That is a factual statement. The destruction of the Twin Towers indeed did turn many people in the US against muslim fanatics. Since most of Israel's enemies are muslim fanatics, this increased their support in the US. Do you disagree with this?

If the world is so broken, then go out and fucking fix it. Are you a member of the ACLU? Do you fundraise for them? Do you fundraise for other political groups? Do you work in a homeless shelter? There is all kinds of shit you can do to make the world a better place. Each day do you try and make...

Yeah, you don't hate jews. Just like you don't hate gays. You just don't think they deserve as many rights as other people!

Frenzied Wombat already took a shot at this, but let me take my own 1) We send aid to the only country in that part of the world that doesn't hate us. 2) Strange kind of genocide that makes them have a faster population growth than the ones committing genocide. 3) We don't give them a free...

This ends up only being a diplomatic solution in favor of the US if Syria actually gives up its weapons. I seriously doubt that is going to happen, as Syria really has no reason to do so now that the threat of military force is over. Russia already wins at this point by being allowed to act as a...

Sure, all kinds of schools of thought, all of which point out how stupid it is to say that history is all about class struggle. It is just that I am on an atheist book reading binge atm and so religiously based conflicts were on my mind. edit: Really liking The End of Faith by Sam Harris atm...

Or Syria just ignores the deal after delaying for 3 months. Which is far more likely to me.

Even just calling all european ethnocentric history a class struggle is pretty stupid anyway. It completely ignores how history is filled with struggles based solely on differences in religion, without pretty much any basis in class struggle.

Either you are being an idiot or you posted in the wrong thread. Wtf are you talking about.

Bunch of Obama and Kerry clips strung together about this crisis. It is sad and depressing that this is the kind of leadership we had during all this.

Hopefully with these numbers, the law has a chance of being overturned eventually. Fuck them for exploiting a tragedy to get it passed in the first place.

You and Fanaskin can fuck off with that ridiculous excuse for anti-gay bigotry. As if gays are going to run around generating kids as long as they are forced to stay in the closet heh.

Citation for this? My understanding is that he is quite popular even while he crushes oppression and further cements his power due to russian nationalism.

Any way to fuck up by picking a bad faction for the campaign? Want to go carthage and burn Rome to the ground. Plus elephants.

Just got my new graphics card in and started playing Rome. My old card was getting up to 100C, current one is at 42C while fighting a battle so huge difference in temp. Never having played a TW game before, kinda overwhelmed by how awesome it is atm and I am still in the prologue. Maybe I...

You are doing a great job of arguing that it isn't worth it to read Marx. I am sure that even if I did read it thoroughly and disagreed with it, you would point out that it is better to not read it at all than to read it just once. Uggh.

So is Always Sunny a good show? I tried to watch the first episode and the characters annoyed me.

Disliking Jess doesn't mean you are necessarily on Walt's side. Jessi has done some horrible shit and a much larger amount of incredibly stupid shit. This doesn't excuse all the fucked up shit Walt has done.

Wait, Tanoomba offered to be your procurer and then backed out? To the rickshaw with him, that is the ultimate betrayal of words.

Well, it is looking like Kerry and Obama are managing to strengthen russian diplomacy while making themselves look like fools. A+ job on foreign policy guys!

I have no sense of humor and am often unable to tell parody from reality.

Jesus, I think after spending 30 minutes with them suicide would seem like a rational choice.

Rickshawing Tanoomba would be pretty stupid. He has sparked conversation in many controversial threads and has brought a unique voice to the forums. Plenty of other people to rickshaw way before him. Starting with Duppin and Lumie, who just kind of show up to troll threads with idiocy every once...

If she made a fake domestic violence call, shouldn't she get in trouble for that? I understand the fear that if you do that, women might be less likely to make calls when they are in danger. Still, you shouldn't just be able to make up a call and get your husband arrested.

Defends Syrian and Russian "democracy". Attacks US as undemocratic.

Lots of dictators were popularly elected, funny how people forget that.

It is because you would have to be painfully naive to think he would actually turn them over and that it isn't just a complete stalling tactic. You are right, he is in a different league than any western politician. He is a dictator. I will take a democratically elected weak noodle like Obama...

No, you are being hopelessly biased. Israel is our only ally in the entire Middle East. If anything we should side with them more and trust the Saudi's way less.

Oh god, Obama talking to an Israeli lobbying group? The horror! Also, yeah, lots of other special interests lobby the president. So what?

Everyone spies on everyone, yawn.

Siddar, stop arguing with them. You can't prove a conspiracy theory to be false. Just concede the point that the Liberty might have been blown up by Israel. So what? It happened in 1967 and is a drop in the bucket of the bullshit Syria, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other countries have given...

All this is a fucking distraction anyway. Araysar and many others try and use the USS Liberty as proof that Israel is evil or anti the US. That shit occurred in 1967 during the Six day war and pales in comparison to all the shitty things the countries around Israel have done to us. The...
