Can I just skip everything that has been said since August 1, or should I read some/all of it?

The bit about the Russian aid convoy and the Russian military convoy, Owlbread's independence posts and the Rotherham rape scandal (which was forgotten in about 2 Obama posts) are worth looking at.

[Helgoland]

Hi all, I'm back. Glad to see the thread ain't locked.

Glad to see you! There's a lot of crud, as usual, but the recent events in Ukraine were... interesting. I'd suggest at least skimming the important discussions.

[Owlbread]

Following the independence debate the other day, a Daily Mail commissioned poll using the pollster Survation has shown support for independence at 47% Yes, 53% No with undecideds excluded. That's +4 to Yes and -4 to No since the last Survation poll. It seems we are gaining ground.

Daily Mail commissioned poll

How reliable is this?

[Owlbread]

How reliable is this?

It's pretty reliable considering Daily Mail polls are usually very unfavourable to us. Survation are one of the better pollsters for Yes though.

The Daily Mail? I can already see the sort of stuff they have to say about Scottish independence

Scottish independence supporter RAPES INFANT! Salmond, SNP deny connections to event!!

[Owlbread]

Yeah, GreatJustice, you're pretty much bang on with the kind of thing they report.

Spoiler: And yet they have this to say tomorrow, on their front page. (click to show/hide)

You're wrong on that, Daily Mail anything are biased in favour of causing panic and fear.

[Guardian G.I.]

A very good article about predictions of Russian collapse in the Western media and historic anti-Russian sentiment in Britain and America.

Why is the 'world' leaking water there though?

The Civilization is washing it.

I can't say I disagree with Sergarr entirely.

Personally though, I think once we get things like replicators, whatever form they take, just personal, cheap manufactoring, most of the outer economy will re-orient around raw resources, unless we manage the whole "energy into mass" thing. I dunno, personal anti-matter reactors? Even then, you can't get more mass than you put it, so you still need a raw material to annihilate into energy.

So instead of manufactoring barons, we'll be back to oil barons and mining cartels. Yippee? :V

Why is the 'world' leaking water there though?

the world depicted there is round

the civilization figure is scrubbing the world in a west-east fashion

since the rag used for scrubbing can be assumed to be made moist beforehand, and the civilization figure is exasperated with being unable to make any impression upon the "dreadful blot", the scrubbing was quite vigorous and led to some of the moisture contained in the rag to remove itself from the premises and fly awaywards with utmost velocity
