Acknowledge the failure of unmoderated anonymity.
Confine naughty words and such to one section of the board for AMP only, to shield the unsuspecting public from it.
Enforce a code of civility and respect.

I get pretty bummed out when perfectly good cars are tainted by bumper stickers and what-not. Thankfully, this was just a Chevy.

http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/
Quote
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.
Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Demand four: Free college education.
Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.
Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.
Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.
Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.
Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.
These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

« on: September 17, 2011, 01:54:22 AM »That's pretty much why I'll never move to NH, ever. Even if there's a job waiting for me there, it's just a shit storm waiting to happen. From the video of central square there makes me like NH less. It looks downright trashy (no offense to Dennis and anyone else that lives in NH, but that's how it looks on video).
So because you dislike the activism and response and look of Keene NH, you reject the rest of NH, which is entirely different? Keene, despite Ian's promotion, is a relatively small and minor part of NH.
Plenty of other places to live and do all sort of good things.
So either you are looking for an excuse to stay put, or you just aren't looking past the window of some crappy video and seeing what else NH has to offer.
Not only is Keene a small part of NH, but it is entirely isolated from the rest of the state. Yeah, it may look like it is only a few miles from {name another town}, but the only way to travel there is to spend hours traversing a series of twisted two lane roads stuck behind a line of old people who have nothing better to do with their time than to waste yours. It's like a sick Lovecraftian nightmare trying to get anywhere near that place. It might as well not even exist.

I had more disposable income on a college stipend than I do now employing 100 people.
Hopefully, that will change soon.

Sorry, Shaw has ruled in my favor in this matter. Your win has been negated. Rematch is required.

« on: August 19, 2011, 12:40:07 PM »Shunning is something a single person can do. Ostracizing is something that every individual in a community does together.
But in the Amish, shunning is a community thing!
Confusing. Anyway, we both know what each other is talking about. I guess.
I hear you, but that is more like an inside lingo use of the word, rather than the general definition.
On that same note, I guess the "Shire" folk can have their own thing that they call ostracism if they want.

People use this word alot. I do not think it means what they think it means.
Seems that "shun" is the appropriate term for what you see people doing today.
Shunning is something a single person can do. Ostracizing is something that every individual in a community does together.
I shun a few folks, BonerJoe, to the point that I will not patronize establishments where those folks are welcome.

I know. Isn't that the best? Used to be such a pain in my assholes to order those certificates all the time, and enter the codes before I lost them. Fucking nightmare.
Now it's just "click", and then free shit.
