I've heard of that site multiple times now. What's the URL?
You can only get in via invite. It's fucking dead and boring, anyway.

This has been an unusually boring Summer for me. At least I get to start college in a week.
What're you studying?

You are incredibly ignorant to say something like that. Incredibly.
I have to side with Kiyo here. Racism is still a problem.

At least UKIP have no qualms about dropping them. Labour has a councilor who claims to have had relations with an alien. The anti-UKIP rhetoric in the media is so dumb.
EDIT: All she did was say ting-tong? In an informal, casual way? Fuck me, who cares?

If the skilled experts decided that it would be better to let a larger group of people to make the decisions on production, then they would. Although I'm slightly under the suspicion that central planning being a 'horrible mishap' is more anti-communist propaganda than actual inefficiency.
Not really. It didn't work for Fascist Italy or Nazi Germany, it especially didn't work for the Soviets, it didn't work for the Maoists and it didn't work for various African nations. In fact, I'd wager all developed countries - especially the most developed - got that way by embracing capitalism. If you can name me one country where central planning of the economy worked, I'll renounce capitalism and buy a big marble bust of Lenin.

Accepting that I'm not an expert on those topics pretty much lead me to become a technocrat, My only real problem with technocracy is that central planning has never, ever worked. And you could probably come up with a fairly decent list of disasters, mishaps and mistakes caused by "experts".

http://telesurtv.net/english/news/225-Jewish-Survivors-of-Nazi-Genocide-Condemn-the-Massacre-of-Palestinians-20140817-0013.html225 Jewish survivors and descendents of Jewish survivors of the Nazi genocide have signed a letter condemning Israel’s massacre in Gaza and calling for an end to the genocide of the Palestinian people. In the letter, they also speak out against the abuse of their histories to promote the dehumanization of Palestinians.
The survivors further condemned "the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation."
"Genocide begins with the silence of the world," they wrote.
"Never again must mean never again for anyone," survivors and their descendents wrote.
The survivors wrote that they were "alarmed" by the dehumanization of Palestinians in the Israeli media, "which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia."
Finally, the survivors criticized ads placed by Elie Weisel in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and the Guardian, which they allege "abuses" their history, "to promote blatant falsehoods used to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children."

Day 1:
Dearest Grandmama, we're having a lovely Christmas here at Green Acres, and thank you so much for the wonderful present we opened today, a partridge in a pear tree. I planted the tree and the partridge looks very happy perched in it. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 2:
Dearest Grandmama, after I planted the tree, two animal welfare inspectors came round. They wanted to know if you were licensed to trade in game. And apparently just keeping the partridge in a tree would break all sorts of animal welfare rules, so I had to buy a proper bird house for it. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 3:
Dearest Grandmama, after I erected the bird house for the partridge, three building inspectors came round saying I needed planning permission. They have given me until Twelfth Night to demolish the bird house, or they will come and bulldoze it. Still, I will have the tree, even if I have nowhere to keep the partridge, so thank you again. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 4:
Dearest Grandmama, four Environment Agency officers came round today and said the pear tree was unsafe as it might blow down in a gale. No gales are forecast, but they still say it has to be fenced-off or removed immediately. So we had some builders round to erect a sturdy fence. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 5:
Dearest Grandmama, five traffic wardens arrived today, saying the neighbours had been complaining at the number of vehicles that had been calling. They gave tickets out to everyone parked in the street including several neighbours which only made them angrier. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 6:
Dearest Grandmama, six security contractors arrived today. The traffic wardens had complained of harassment from the neighbours for giving them tickets so the local council were installing CCTV to ensure a safe working environment for the traffic wardens. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 7:
Dearest Grandmama, the floodlights that the CCTV contractors installed really light up the tree and the partridge nicely, but seven of my near neighbours have organised a protest picket outside the house because they cannot sleep at night and the traffic and noise keeps them awake during the day. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 8:
Dearest Grandmama, eight noise abatement officers arrived saying that the noise of my neighbours' protest and the various inspectors' cars coming and going was in clear breach of official guidelines. They served me a compliance notice. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 9:
Dearest Grandmama, the au pair and I made the mistake of bringing out tea and cakes in an attempt to make peace with the neighbours, it is the season of good will, after all. Now nine food safety inspectors are here, saying that out kitchen does not comply with hygiene regulations for the provision of food to the public. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 10:
Dearest Grandmama, ten Home Office people broke down the door today, saying they suspected that the au pair might have been working here illegally. I've spoken to a lawyer and we hope we can get her out of the detention centre soon. We had the workmen come back to repair and repaint the front door. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 11:
Dearest Grandmama, eleven EU inspectors arrived today. We convinced them the au pair was Bulgarian and therefore had a perfect right to be working here, but one of them noticed the name of the house and told us that we had to change it from Green Acres to Green Hectares. They also quizzed us on what colour the front door had been painted. I will write more tomorrow.
Day 12:
Dearest Grandmama, today twelve court officers turned up to serve me with a European Arrest Warrant. We had been reported for painting the front door in a colour called Burgundy Red, Unfortunately this name breaches of EU local origin protection regulations. Anyway, I'm in prison myself now in Burgundy, and will have to sell the house, including the partridge and the pear tree, to pay my legal bills.
Still, it was a very kind gift, and at least it has taught me a lot about regulation these days. Please address any future correspondence to my lawyer.

Generalization
Sorry to break it to you but not every religious person you meet will disagree with same-sex marriage or unions, nor every atheist you meet will be in support of such
Although there generally seems to be a correlation with religion and intolerance. . .

Oh boo-hoo. You really think that's propaganda? Lol. It's no different any atheist film or documentary that does the same as this movie but only in the prospective towards the ideologies of the producer. Grow up, ignore what you disagree with, and let others be on their way
>implying he wouldn't say the same about atheist propaganda lol looks like the propaganda got to you

Anything by Tolkien or Lovecraft will be great but poorly written.
The Book of Lost Things was pretty awful. The book I'm reading at the moment isn't too great either, but I don't know what I expected.

I how you keep saying "I was warned", like that's a justification for a shitty ban.
i don't care if it was justified though i just find it funny, i couldn't care less that you were banned

I understand that you're an edgy sociopath who doesn't care about morality, but that doesn't mean I should be banned for making you butthurt.
But whatever, I'll be back on after I kill Ansem.
you didn't get banned for making me butthurt though, you got banned cause you said it after being warned i just find the whole thing funny

First off, no it's fucking not. And secondly, not capitalizing the Human Code is a direct violation of the Human Code. You're objectively a bad fucking person.
i dont care about the human code though
