I've been playing Risk longer than you've been alive. Australia only has ONE way in, one border to defend. South America is next with TWO ways in.
If you take Australia, you WILL win. It's just numbers and borders.

if blacks have the "weaker position" as Black insists that means white privilege is real.


no, it does not?!!?!!

the idea of "white privilege" postulates that whites have an advantage in life because they are white, because of the color of their skin.
what we really have is a situation where whites are overrepresented among economically privileged sections of society/minorities are overrepresented among economically deprived section, for historical and cultural reasons.

the discussion should not be about race, it should be about rich vs poor, and about productive vs detrimental behavior.

yes and in a 3 person game you can easily attack out to mid Africa while harrying North America. force the other player from the beginning of the game to try for north America, Europe, and asia. Europe you can assault from norther Africa, force players 2 and 3 to fight over southern Africa (a force you'll later crush). and of course:

It's embarrassing to watch May and Trump together. May's weak, subservient pandering won't get Trump's respect, for that you'd have to be a ruthless authoritarian.

We get similar situations over here with party members that are clearly trying to pander to Trump and his base. Watching Trump turn on Roy Moore was hilarious.

On "no deal for Britain is better than a bad deal for Britain":

Agree: 51%
Disagree: 20%

via @OpiniumResearch


Really surprised by the results of this poll, however it doesn't mention a sample size. Could Britain compete economically in a no deal scenario by slashing corporation tax to less than 12% and reducing regulations?

Sounds like a race to the bottom for corporations at the cost of citizens.

Ow.. btw, gratz on agreeing what type of Brexit is preferred. That part took ~1 1/2 years, ~8 months left make it happen.
