he needs to stop denying that he isn't Winner

Hey, this is essentially the same point that I made in like 3-4 sentences in the same post
In any event, if El Salvador can go to war with Honduras over losing a soccer game, MK can go to war to "Save Dave93"

Great. I had Duke in the finals. Only put them there since they beat Mich St. earlier this year. Knew I should've gone with them.. I'll revert back to my usual $%&@ DUKEness, and this exactly why.
Also, wtf Michigan?
Poor Mizzou..
GO BADGERS!

I went the homer route.

Yes. This is a great post, like a post that Aristole would have made!

worst one night stand ever

Gibsonator's been in GOD for a month+. Keep up.In this blog CSN tries to forget it is run by Xiphosis.Same alliance, different AA.

This is clearly a giant conspiracy.

heh well, this is good n' all, but I wouldn't necessarily mind if he were to use his pixels instead against GOD. He'd be doing us a favor then. But, happy hunting TLR

RIP. He was by far the NDP's most successful party leader, and left the party in its absolute best shape it's been in. A good guy, too.

If we(NEW) drag this conflict long enough into an war of attrition, I say we have fair chance of winning. Nor doesn't seem to be a bad military alliance though, and war with them sure seem to be a lot of fun.Sometime in the future then perhaps ?
This is a very bad hypothetical. You should both instead fight together against SF or Fark
-
A really tough call, and I was tempted to first go with NEW, but after looking at their wonders, NoR has a slightly better count of WRCs/SDIs/MPs. So I've gotta give it to NoR since most other things are near-equal.

My remark was aimed at RV, not NSO, but your response raises another point: RV's moralism (for want of a better word) has previously been a distinguishing characteristic of his posts, and one associated with NSO (including via The Moldavi Doctrine). More recently, however, it seems that he is more interested in using his moralist platform as a justification for prosecuting old grudges, which is really no different to all the other posters out there, or to other alliances (particularly Xiph and GOD, ironically).You might want to catch up on the history between NSO and SF, because we've hated them before it was popular.It's also not like this isn't anything new RV has done. Do you recall RV's thread several months back: "Why is SuperFriends so terrible?". Yeah. RV along with the rest of NSO have thought that SuperFriends are terrible for a long time running now. So yeah. SF deserves to be rolled.
And yeah, it does seem though like you guys have turned against us after the Legion stuff, but c'est la vie.

Why does everyone love GOONS? I just don't get it, I try hard as I can to be immoral and unjust and people just can't help but love us.
it's because you're big, warm and fluffy.

I'm sad. I can't do anymore Knights of Ni! / Athens Comments

Lines being drawn...
Please Auctor, don't betray Baskan!

Yeah I'm truly starting to think that the only way Legion could ever possibly turn around is if they imported leadership from NSO. Like RV and myself, we could turn it around in a jiffy.

Take care, Omni!

This is just further proof of just how awful an alliance Exodus is.

I got closest to the Bloc, but I sympathize with and root for the NDP and to a lesser extent with the Libs in Tory-Grit marginals. I'd be an ABC if I was a Canadian (Anyone-But-Conservative)
I think those questions about rating the parties/party leaders/trustworthyness is really retarded, considering you're supposed to find out based on the ISSUES where you stand.

it's gRAMlins. sorry. I'm using the a.

Wisconsin is a solid team, but the really rely on scoring from two players. And they play limited possession basketball. Now, to be fair, they're extremely efficient because Taylor is really good. BUT, if Taylor isn't good, they're in a heap of trouble. As noted above, Ohio State torched Wisky in the final game of the regular season, but the other thing of note in that game was Craft putting the clamps on Taylor. That's the key. Shelvin Mack against Jordan Taylor is the game. And Butler defends the high ball screens really well (because they are so well-coached -- Stevens, IMO, is a top 3, if not the best, coach in the land). That said, Wisconsin does stretch the floor nicely with their bigs, so they can get some points that way, but I think it's still Taylor v. Mack. On the other end, Butler runs a nice halfcourt set, but their shooting is inconsistent. It can come from a lot of places, but Mack/Howard are really the only two guys who can create their shot. This one is played under 120, IMO. And in a tight game in the 50s, I'd be nervous playing Butler.
That's my take! WooOOT! And, FTR, I'm a Buckeye.
Craft did a heckuva job against Taylor in that last game, but Ohio St. played in such a way that no team in the nation could've come close to beating them like that. Shooting 68%, including 93% from 3. I feel like that game should be completely washed in any comparison. That said, I think our main vulnerability is having a star player and team getting really streaky and raining down 3s (à la Cornell, Davidson, or the Diebler/Buford/Lighty combo), so it could be if Howard/Mack play brilliantly. It'll be close, and Butler has had some nice wins in the season, but they've also had some dog-awful losses. And while their win against Pitt cannot be discounted... it is Pitt afterall, one of the biggest chokers of recent NCAA history.
I still think Ohio St. is championship bound.

I don't think Wisconsin is all that good, to be honest. That and it is hard to pick against Butler at this point.
Ehh, Wisconsin has 2 NBA-bound players (including arguably the best POINT guard in the nation, granted he had a !@#$%* game against KSU), are #1 in the nation in fewest turnovers and are #1 in the nation in FT %. Yes they play slower, and boy do I know how they choke come tournament time, but meh. They are still only of two teams to have beaten the best Team in the nation, Ohio St.
Now, if Butler is able to shoot from the 3 like crazy (like the 14 of 15 Ohio st. shot against us in the last match-up), they can win, but even if one of our star players has an off-night, and one of their stars goes crazy, we can still win à la KSU

picking against the Big 10 yet again? After having an XX on Wisconsin
And Kentucky over Ohio St... well at least you're honest that you don't think they're gonna upset 'em even if you picked it. I say Ohio St. is headed for the National Championship.
Depression

My apologies if our rather combative exchanges in any way exacerbated this.
But I will say this. While it's fairly evident that depression has a genetic component, an environmental component, and can occur after trauma, you do need to approach it as an episode of "what can I do to make my life better" - some of which may be a change in environment. But moreover you have to think long and hard about why you are in the rut you are in now, and what you can personally do to make it better.
I know you're not going to fully agree with this, but entertain me for a second. I would say that the ideologies you have attached yourself to is not good for you at all, and may make your depression worse. Obviously you became attracted to it by what you were feeling yourself, but I think you have made your own state of mind worse by accepting its conclusions. If you think of everything as systemic, everything is already set in motion and you are just a small mouse within it - why do anything to change yourself if it's all structural? This kind of determinism is akin to being fatalistic. Here's the definition of wikipedia:
"Fatalism generally refers to any of the following ideas:
