Re: Rationalskepiticism,lol.

Supporting Samsa (or not) has nothing to do with my downfall at ratskep. I'm still interested in the place lately, because this place has died in the arse. But there's a vocal bunch of sycophants, including yourself it appears, that seem to dominate any contentious discussion on that site. It's pat...

Re: Top Ten Most Terrifying Civilizations

I don't think the Maori or Apache qualify as a civilization. The best you can say is that, in war, the death toll was low, due to their [the Maoris'] own lack of technology and warfare ineptitude . Nasty, yes. Civilised, no. You might want to give the good news to all the British soldiers who died ...

Re: How conservatives lost their faith in science

And excellent book on the subject: The Republican War on Science by Chris Mooney.
A case by case presentation of how the conservatives (mostly the Bush administration) has tried to undermine the scientific community, to make the data suit their political goal.

Re: Lying for Reason and Science

Funny... Timonen finally got sacked because he mixed funds that should have gone to the foundations with his own money... and that that character does the same, apparently with the blessings of RD? (or at least his absentminded assent, which is bad since after the first scalding he should be shy of...

Re: Desert Island Books

I'm really torn between two books, in fact I think I'll have to take them both: http://www.ingoodbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/kafka_on_Shore.jpg http://deblanck.org/blog_images/dancedancedance.jpg Edit, there's a third one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/d/dd/20060604175143...

Re: Cannibal Holocaust day 3

Morning everyone, I have a crazy theory:

What if the "missing players" are spirited away by a one of Town's special, for their own protection.

Bear with me it's I just woke up and haven't had my coffee yet.

Otherwise, Ani, are you trying to get yourself lynched? :shifty:

Ani I don't see anything unusual in UT's play so far.
As a matter of fact I'm not finding anything obviously scummy in anyone's play so far.
Irre seems to be a bit out of the loop, but it might be because she's subbing.
