Castin

Yeah :) Well, if I change it now, people will not know that they need to contact "Mike" with questions or suggestions. First we need to add at least some "admin" and "moderator" icons or some other kind of indicators. 

triangle.128k: Add fascism as a political ideology

Castin: You probably understand why an admin might not be too eager to do that.

triangle.128k: Why not? Communism is added as a political ideology.

Castin: That's true. But I think even communism doesn't have as many bad associations as fascism. My guess would be that D doesn't want it to look like he's supporting fascism (or National Socialism, as you also requested) by offering them as legitimate options on his site. I could be dumbass wrong, though.

triangle.128k: How are you suppoorting any specific ideology to include it? Your feelings toward an ideology don't matter, it's still legitimate and deserves a place in an ideology drop-down. Is DebateArt supporting Communism to include it in an ideological drop down? That same logic would apply. Fascism may have bad associations, but this is a debate website. 

Castin: I think it's that if you include fascism or Nazism in the dropdown menu, you're saying, "These are all valid choices. Pick." It is indeed a debate site. I don't know, maybe you can talk to D and get him to think about it. It's his call.

triangle.128k: Maybe not Nazism, but if you're going to include the ideology of Pol "Crush Baby skulls for Fertilizer" Pot, why is Fascism so big and scary to add? 

• Communism is a much larger and more varied overarching ideology with many more branches and forms, all of varying degrees of merit, some of which even have opposing ideas.
  
• While communist regimes have often become monstrous, communism as an ideology originally focused on the values of equality, liberation for the working class, and sharing without discrimination. Fascism focused on the values of totalitarian power and fanatic nationalism.
  
• There are over 1 billion communists in the world today. How many fascists are there? Policy decisions are based on how many people can be a pain in the ass for you right now.
  

I don't know where you are from, but one of the more recent school shootings in Maryland was relinquished rather quickly by someone armed. I believe it was an officer but the point is that having protection could prevent further damage by a long shot. I think though having access to fire arms both outside and inside would be better. It just so happened the shooter was outside and there was an officer but had the shooter been inside the school there could have been serious consequences. 

I think that may be a mistake on "debates" part. The godists who complained about him are the usual trolling for god mob who call anyone who disagrees with them a troll. Rookie mistake, but "debates" you gotta stop listening to the posters who are pissing in your pocket, their agenda is not benign.

Cite some hostile posting or have you turned all marshmallow to fit in with this lot?

They made mistakes. First, they should know that the mole is is member. Hari even bragged about his Indians he had called off for the sites brief respite. I don't think he controls them, but he is their way in. They should have deleted the hari account. (And his sockpuppets)

Second, people who stayed logged in all the time, did not need to do the captcha. They had permanent access. Till today I could access the site without having to do any captcha.

They need a web admin. Either bite the bullet and get it done, or give up on the domain for now. Bots lose interest after some time. But closing all accounts means they finally are serious about fixing the spam problem.

Some people are still active and posting though... You think shilling for people to migrate here had something to do with the bans?

It is possible just not too obvious I imagine, you can just click on the timestamp in the last post column, the one that says "5 minutes ago" or something like that.

I think we should initially avoid giving DDO mods nodding positions for DA. It's been too long since we've seen them just using the site.

Ha! you watched the Bigfoot series already? you're one step ahead of me I haven't seen those yet! except you have to watch some of the other survival shows you missed like Alone and Live Free or Die. Sounds like you're a no-nonsense type of girl, then I would think you would like those two.Bear Grylls not a real survival expert? have you seen the show where he takes celebrities out to survive, big difference between him and them, I'm sure he could survive alone for a time longer than the average person even if his shows are not 100% survival based.

Some small changes:

1) Removed the "Show recent" link and added pagination to the topics top right corner, it should be a bit more flexible this way.

2) Now it's possible to click on timestamps in the "last post" columns and it would take you straight to the last page from the categories or topics list.

For the most part, larger bodies have larger brains across species. Yet humans have exceptionally large, neuron-rich brains for our body size, while gorillas — three times more massive than humans — have smaller brains and three times fewer neurons. Why?

The answer, it seems, is the gorillas' raw, vegan diet (devoid of animal protein), which requires hours upon hours of eating only plants to provide enough calories to support their mass.

For gorillas to evolve a humanlike brain, they would need an additional 733 calories a day, which would require another two hours of feeding, the authors wrote. A gorilla already spends as much as 80 percent of the tropic's 12 hours of daylight eating.

Similarly, early humans eating only raw vegetation would have needed to munch for more than nine hours a day to consume enough calories, the researchers calculated. Thus, a raw, vegan diet would have been unlikely given the danger and other difficulties of gathering so much food.

Cooking makes more foods edible year-round and releases more nutrients and calories from both vegetables and meat, Herculano-Houzel said.

"The bottom line is, it is certainly possible to survive on an exclusively raw diet in our modern day, but it was most likely impossible to survive on an exclusively raw diet when our species appeared," Herculano-Houzel told LiveScience.

• Getting it confused with fruit -- The tests that determined fruit led to brain growth were only ever conducted on monkeys, I thought. All they proved is that fruit helps monkey brains grow.
  
• Why are carnivores designed for meat and we are not -- Well, we're not exclusively carnivores, so we don't need specialized carnivore organs, perhaps. We also don't have multiple stomachs, or a rumen, because we're not exclusively herbivores either. Our digestive tracts are longer than a carnivore's but shorter than an herbivore's.
  
• If we need meat protein so bad why do so many people not eat meat -- Because they don't strictly have to in this day and age. Availability of resources and knowledge means your average vegan can easily substitute the missing nutrients in their diet.
  
• If meat gives energy why does everyone get tired after they eat it -- I wasn't aware everyone did. People get tired after big meals though. Nap or no nap, that meat is still going to turn into energy for you later.
  
• Big cats, carnivores, and sleep: I thought big cats slept so much because most of them are nocturnal hunters?
  

Zeichen is scum to the society of DDO and DarC.

To me that's the 8th of December!

It's a very, very minor issue.

By calling the site DarC

Add fascism as a political ideology

You have already hijacked two topics, stop it for God's sake or at least create a separate topic for fighting.
