[quote who="Stimulant" comment="19"] It isn't quite clear but it seems that there are no plans for automated matchmaking based on a player's skill. Is this correct? [/quote] The matchmaking is based on player skill.
Yea, what we write online lasts forever. Heck, long before there was a JoeUser, there was Usenet and the flame wars I've gotten into on Usenet over the years would disqualify me from ever holding any sort of public office. :) On Usenet, I wasn't nearly as nice as I am on here. :)
[quote who="OckhamsRazor" comment="6"] Could you "Destroy account" on Asaxygirl please? She requested this in an email last time there was a free speech issue here, and no one so much as wrote back to her. [/quote] People can destroy their own accounts from the dashboard.
I'm confused. You asked why men hit women. Well, you provided your own answer: She hit him first. It's not a good idea to hit someone a lot bigger and stronger than you. The question could be rephrased "Why do women expect to be able to hit men and not be hit back?"
Awhile back we put in a feature that only rarely gets used and never on JU before. It’s called Destroy Account. What happens is the system goes and wipes out every post, every comment that user has ever made on all our sites. I got to use it today on LW. I had exiled her for comparing a tax cut to corporate welfare and then as being the same as the welfare that the Octuplet mom receives for her 14 children. I’ve said this in the past but occasionally needs to be repeated
[quote]Anyway back to the original topic, I haven't heard many people give alternatives to the current situation that they'd support - either you give money to people in cases like this so they can survive, or you end up with (some of) them suffering, and possibly being out on the streets starving+eventually dead. You might say that's what the mother deserves (for making poor decisions, or being unfortunate, or having the misfortune of not being born with as high an intelligence as someone el
[quote]you have the right to move to a different state and work there, for example, and you're not being forced to work either[/quote] Glad you agree. So what more is there to discuss? LW's idiotic comparison of welfare to the Octuplet mom being the same as a tax cut. As for the rest of your statement, no, you're just clueless. The money we earn is ours. It is not inherently the government's. Since we're approaching tax time, I would highly recommend you not t
No ThinkAloud, I black listed from participating on my threads because you, like LW, have the IQ of a gnat. If someone breaks into your house and steals everything in your living room but decides to leave the TV, he's not giving you a TV. The government isn't giving me anything. They're simply agreeing to not take as much in exchange for me agreeing not to move to another state where I can run my business more profitably. The problem is, losers like Little Whip waste thei
Incidentally, I have exiled LW. I'm sick of seeing threads hijacked by her just so that she can smear me. It pisses me off seeing some asshat trying to argue that the government confiscating less of what we earn as being equivalent of someone who cranks out kids and stands back and gets checks from the government with nothing in return.
[quote]The same goes for children. Furthermore LW said that Brad was going to expand anyway. In other words, if that was the case the government would have gotten most if not all of the extra employee income/payroll taxes without needing to offer the bait. Seems a bit amusing though that Brad is a beneficiary of redistribution given how much he's opposed it.[/quote] We were going to expand in Washington, not Michigan because it's cheaper to have a tech company in Washington than Michig
LW: You're an idiot. If Stardock pays say $1.8M in taxes but the state of Michigan wants us to stay in Michigan despite it costing more by reducing how much it charges us in taxes to merely be say 1000X more than whats ay you pay, that's hardly the same as what the Octoplet mom is doing. Only a total moron confuses a tax cut with welfare. LW, I think it's time you find another blog site. I'll give you 24 hours to backup your stuff.

[quote who="kdevine" comment="4"] The library looks too small... And what is with the turrets, are you building a castle? Nice looking house. If I had your success, I would love to build a house like this. [/quote] It's a 2-story library.

[quote]While I might know which car I should buy (and if I choose the wrong one it doesn't matter) I cannot, I don't have the required knowledge, make an informed decision about whether a given illness can be cured with pill A, pill B, or an operation. I also never choose such treatment for fun. It's not a question of convenience. The reason insurance companies or the government shouldn't buy our cars for us is that we would all want to drive porsches. That is correct. But I cannot ima
Yea, that's one of the "features" of being a liberal - government is their religion. Thus, if you don't love the government, you are immoral. A liberal thus is often incapable of making the distinction between the government paying for a road to be built that society uses and the government sending a check to "some guy".
[quote who="Leauki" comment="30"] One of the reasons our health care costs are so high, for instance, is because insurance insulates us from the actual costs of things and people don't tend to care how much things cost. To be honest, I certainly don't care how much things cost if my health is at stake. [/quote] You might care how much it costs if it's merely a matter of convenience. We're not talking about the cost of l

He's right and wrong. :) If you're taking bailout money from the government, then the government should have the right to tie any strings they want to it. On the other hand, you're not going to find the best and brightest executives if you're paying them the same rate as low-end football players / baseball players or what many TV stars earn in a single episode...
All Demigods should feel overpowered. If they don't all feel overpowered, then there's a problem. Because...(wait for it) they're demiGODS. ;)
