http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/19/us/charleston-church-shooting.html This is truly heartbreaking. I woke up to news about this in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. My heart goes out to the nine victims and their families.

OTOH, since it's all out in the open, their supporters and apologists have literally zero excuses. The funny thing is, even Hitler wasn't as openly anti-Semitic as neo-Nazis are. Listen to his speeches, they're all about protecting German culture, rebuilding German pride, coming together as a...

Do you love streetcars? I love streetcars and light rail. For European posters, these are American terms to describe what you call trams. Streetcars run only at street-level (or underground or elevated for portions), while light rail might run at street-level for a time but also at grade like...

Hello all. I have an issue with a unit I downloaded recently. It is Wyrmshadow's engineering company unit. The below is a message I get when I try to put it in the game [see attachment] This is beyond my understanding of this stuff. Any idea what the problem might be? I double-checked the...

Suppose someone is facing you. If they point to one of their eyes and say "you have something in your eye" do you assume that they mean: 1. Physiologically the same eye; they pointed to the anatomically corresponding part on their own body. 2. Directionally the same eye; are behaving as if...

It can be that simple, folks.

I have a question to ask the professional folks on the forum. If you are not someone with experience or knowledge in this matter, I ask that you not try to answer my question. I'll be finishing graduate school soon, and am preparing to apply to various positions in my field. The problem is...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-27556097 The first thing that comes to mind is the massacre in Montreal in 1989 of "feminists" by a similarly upset man. It's almost mentioned as a footnote in this BBC article, but the premeditation is a huge part of this crime. I won't link to...

http://my.chicagotribune.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-79423939/ The man was a legend. His films are some of the funniest, and many are among my favorites. We shall celebrate him in this thread, not by mourning him, but by posting videos of him and his excellent movies. Here are a few...

The season finale to Season 1 of Star Trek: The Next Generation deserved to be made into a full-length feature film, and would probably be better than any of the actual TNG-featuring films. I am prepared to defend this proposition. There are several great plotlines which converge in...

He was effectively the co-father, along with Woody Guthrie, of the American folk music revival. His influence on music was massive, and he was an important political figure for the American Left as well. A lifelong communist, he believed along with Guthrie in the power of music to bring people...

Science is all gobbledygook to most people. Their eyes glaze over as a dizzying plethora of acronyms, jargon, and complicated theories whiz past their ears, and a lengthy technical exposition is answered only by a hesitant nod of the head. But there are some people who understand that a...

For the past day or so I've had major problems with page load times on CFC. It's not a problem I have with any other websites, and I can navigate normally even while CFC is taking an eternity to load (just opening this "new thread" page took around 7 minutes). Is there some sort of forum update...

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/dec/15/peter-o-toole-dies-lawrence-arabia I've always loved O' Toole's movies. Lawrence of Arabia is an incredible movie. His performances in Zulu Dawn and Troy are great as well. Never saw any of his Sherlock Holmes stuff though.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the FIFTH serial "so you would like to know more about communism and socialism" thread! Remember that this is a question and answer thread and not for arguments. Critical response is welcome, tirade and polemic are not. If you wish to engage in...

It's November 7, the anniversary on the Gregorian calendar of the bold ending of capitalist rule in Russia, and the beginning of the inexorable tide against that accursed system. c13q2wYZr_0 However, since there's no much to talk about with regards to that, we'll make this thread about the...

Greetings to all! I would like to welcome you all to what I hope to be the first in many serial threads to come: the Soviet. The words soviet (совет) means "council" in Russian. While anything might be called a council, the word bears special significance as the...
