  1. Has anyone seen my soapbox? Having recently acquired the links and looking at them several times over and over I can verify that the content was of an adult nature.
  2. I'm from Fark and I didn't get any links. I wasted time searching for porn on my own.
  3. I have an idea but we would probably have to remove you from the alliance beforehand.
  4. We do have an open market where you can trade commodities for profit if you are savvy. I don't think we need an additional market.
  5. I think this would be a good idea and I think that bounties collected/paid (how much bounty has been paid out by people who put bounties on your nation) should be displayed on nation page. Maybe have a running total on bounty collection leaders displayed somewhere as well.
  6. This is correct reading of what I was saying.
  7. The issue is still clouded as the law reads differently from state to state. The Supreme Court has consistently said that before a certain point in gestation that a fetus is indeed just tissue in regards to rights and can be considered tissue even after that point if the life of the host is at risk. I tend to agree with that legal definition. A fetus at 1 month for example has less sentience than an ant and is only the size of a grain of rice. The laws put in place stood scrutiny because it added the enhanced penalties for illegal terminations as assaults on the pregnant woman much like enhancements for killing a peace officer. They did not technically give rights to the fetus. A very gray area and an area where I think the courts got it right.
  8. No and courts have consistently ruled only intentional harm in cases related to the The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 are considered manslaughter. SO if you fall down a flight of stairs and lose your fetus then it not a crime. Your husband or boyfriend punches you in the stomach and you lose the fetus then it is a crime. Automobile accident where the driver of the car was insanely drunk manslaughter (drinking and driving is an intentional act), automobile accident where someone inadvertently runs a red light not manslaughter (to the fetus, it could be involuntary manslaughter for passengers or driver).
  9. Give money every time someone completes Captcha. That way it is less annoying and fair for people who get caught out because of the ReCaptcha program. For instance while training my baseball player I had to deal with it every 6th click on average. It would be less annoying if I was at least rewarded for being inconvenienced and having my time wasted. I mean Captcha while spending money? Spending money is profitable to the game (and by extension you).
  10. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=23411 Nation has not been nuked that I can see and I read through all it's wars and cannot find reason for Beige.
  11. Good luck to you as well. Look forward to a post war friendship.
  12. Auctor are you a good guy or a bad guy in Politics and War? It gets confusing.
  13. Go to Harrods in London and notice the rabble outside. They are not there for jobs.
  14. Basically jobs moves to where the labor is the cheapest and entices those without jobs move to where the welfare benefits are the greatest. It penalizes the successful nations, lowers the bar economically for industry and prevents individual nations from taking actions like having higher quality standards etc. for goods and services (which ironically was the West German model).
  15. I think it's been one sided recently and I think many of you Brits feel quite used over the Iraqi invasion and the fight in Afghanistan. Canada already bolted. I fear that may happen to you guys as well (and somewhat justifiably).
  16. I spent a lot but then again I hate losing. It's going to take a while to break even but I will. What bothers me is that I can't fire players. I have big fat 39 year old Herman Sanchez and he just stinks. He's lazy, uncoordinated and blind as a bat if his batting average and fielding are anything to go by. I'd gladly spend 500K to buy out his contract and fire his ass and replace him with an 18 year old who actually wants to play the game. This should be an option. edit- The fat slob retired. All is well.
  17. The fact that Britain is subsidizing the EU makes your argument moot. They are in essence subsidizing the lowest common denominator taking away it's manufacturing jobs because they can offer lower wages thanks to free money from Britain. I don't think Britain is wanting to jump into bed with America anytime soon. As an American I would love closer cooperation with the United Kingdom but I am afraid we must earn it.
  18. Having managed a couple of establishments in England I can tell you this is not exactly correct but on the right track. The problem with the EU is that it has a lot of rules and only Great Britain is stupid enough to follow them. Especially in health and safety. Everyone else just ignores them. If everyone followed them (especially Eastern Europe) it would be a different story. Britain can do better. Also Germany sucks. What they did to the Greeks is vicious and cruel. Merkel is a witch.
  19. This has been by far the best thread of the day on any forum. Also bad idea.
  20. How would this discriminatory practice be enforced?
  21. If they can't control Mexico, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Venezuela and Russia I doubt you would have a chance of persuading Texans who lean far right on the political spectrum to join OPEC.
  22. If Texas did secede it would have to be with the permission of the United States. If that happened everyone would recognize them. I make fun of Texas but I can actually see advantages to succession.
