I've seen it on a few of my posts. Let me see if I can force it to appear.

Why do you think that? I can give you a few reasons why it isn't true. Firstly, If Germany and Japan had won the war, our European allies and trading partners would have been even more completely crushed than they were in reality, which would have been a major blow to our economy. Secondly, in the aftermath of the war, America was one of the few industrialized countries that had not been ravaged by war. As a result, America experienced unprecedented economic growth. Thirdly, the war cemented America's position as a superpower. Fourthly, had Germany won, that would mean that it had defeated Russia, so the Cold War would have been waged against an increasingly deranged sociopath named Adolf Hitler. That would have ended in WWIII rather than a cold war.In fact, USA would be far stronger today if Germany and Japan won the war.

That's totally irrelevant. The Japanese military was committing blatant acts of barbarism in China. Continuing to supply them with oil would have made America complicit in that barbarism. Yes, countries have interests. However, that is not an absolute.

Sanctions are not Casus Belli, and they provoked the sanctions with their barbarities in China.

It could also just be that Virt doesn't know when bsh1 will make his brief reappearance and decided to unban him early.

@RationalMadman
If I recall correctly, he said in his goodbye post that he would be back temporarily around Christmas. While it's early, he could have just decided to reappear early.

Yeah, basically everyone is oblivious that we forced them into attacking Pearl Harbor. We gave them most of their oil, and then we cut them off.
That's not exactly what happened. We cut off their oil because they were invading China without justification and committing heinous slaughters and mass rapes. This was after they had already stolen a province from China by turning it into a puppet state under the pretense that it was an independent country. We had every reason to cut off their oil. In fact, it could easily be argued that it would have been immoral to not cut off their oil supply.

That's pretty good. I'll probably go back to the other one at some point, but I'll try that one for a while.

You deserve some credit yourself for convincing me to suspect PressF.

@Lunatic
Thanks. It was my first win as town. I think the most credit for the town victory goes to PressF, though. His failure to VTL left me no choice but to hammer him.

@DynamicSquid
Here's a good video showing how little talent is required for modern art. A political pundit, a reporter, a two-year-old, and a five-year-old made paintings that many people thought were genuine works of art. This is why I don't take modern art seriously.

@DynamicSquid
I agree. Any artist who wants to explore concepts by splashing paint is lazy. Real masters can paint beautiful masterpieces that explore the concepts in modern art far better.

It's hard to lose when the mafia gives you no choice but to win.

I'll only have time to sneak this prediction in before the game ends.
Cowboys vs. Bears
Bears are carnivores, which is just horrible. How could they so callously trample on the rights of their fellow animals? Furthermore, many Cowboys are Hispan- Latinx, pardon me- so it would be racist to suggest that they will lose.
Cowboys: 27. Bears: 17.

I didn't have to play well. I didn't have any other choice but to hammer PressF. His failure to VTL doomed him.

If you flip town, I will be very disappointed in your failure to VTL this DP.

Well, I have half an hour left. If I don't hammer someone, I will lose. The only one I can hammer is PressF. If he's innocent, I will lose no matter what. VTL PressF

@AvoidDeath
Press is supposed to convince you. As he pointed out, I'm town-confirmed because I haven't hammered. Because you know your affiliation, you also know his by PoE. I'm the only guy here who doesn't know who the mafia is, so you need to convince me that PressF is mafia and you're not.

Why did you say when you hammered that Lunatic hadn't answered your question, even though he had answered it on page 2?

There's not a lot to go on. What I saw in DP1 was that Avoid was trying to pressure inactive players and scum hunt, whereas PressF said with his hammer that Lunatic hadn't answered his question, even though Lunatic had answered it on page two. I'm leaning toward PressF as mafia.

Let's get some detailed reads. We need to figure out who's scum as logically as possible. I'll reread DP1 before posting mine.

After this it's less clear.
3. Ronald Reagan
4. Dwight Eisenhower
5. Calvin Coolidge
Good arguments could be made for both Adams, Madison, Cleveland, Kennedy, and others.

@Paul
@disgusted
I'm not an IDer, but it's easy to explain from their perspective. As Paul pointed out, ID doesn't explain a whole lot. One could just say that the Intelligent Designer created the world with evolution so dinosaurs and megafauna would be explained in the same way an atheist would explain them. You could even say that the designer created the world five seconds ago and fabricated all of history. As Paul said, ID explains nothing; at the same time, it explains everything. It's just warmed over deism that allows IDers to avoid religion but also explain where the universe and life comes from. It solves scientific problems without introducing any practical impact on their lives. As far as worldviews go, it's pretty much the ultimate cop-out.

The US doesn't allow people to slaughter school children. Those that do are usually killed by police or sentenced to life in prison or death.
