    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    I don't there was ever a time that it wasn't partisan in here. A lot of the older partisan debaters seem to have left or passed away but I still enjoy coming back here and mostly reading the various opinions here and on rare occasions participating.

    The monastery used to have good historical debates as well but seeing as everything seems to come down to racism now all debates seem to really occur here.

    I've seen far more hate and inflammatory debates on the now defunct militaryphotos.net forums.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    I know who he was than. How horrible all this. In his way too short life he had a whole lot of fun, that's comforting
