LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here" or "y y y"
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7)You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC.



OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

After spending 10 minutes trying to make a fire with one of these magnesium fire starters I realized I had to scrape some of the actual gray block off then make the spark.


Finally got the fire started on some pieces of paper. I tried to blow out the fire (this is indoors on kitchen counter). Not a smart move. The paper blew into pieces still on fire. Luckily didn't get too out of control.

DDMS mentions Double Dipping and Tripple Dipping, but there's a DDF method for Double Dipping on likes!

Once you get a post with a good amount of likes, quote said post in the Best of DDF thread for some double dipping.

...And then quote it here, as if to brag, but really to get more likes. Better yet, get another member to do it for you.

Essay written by Gene Weingarten. (Look him up if you must.) Brought here as an example of the opinions held by the relatively sane liberals.
GENE WEINGARTEN
JAN 10

Many, many, many years ago, when most of you were not yet zygotes I took a college entrance exam; I think was the SATs, though my memory is fading like old paint on a dormitory wall.  At the end of the exam there was a one-sentence essay question.  It read, Explain this expression: "If you are too open-minded, your brains might fall out."   

I later learned that the expression had been generously over-attributed to several scientists, including Richard Feynman and Richard Dawkins - both famous atheists, which is not irrelevant to the subject.  But at the moment all I knew was that I had to get the answer right.  I did, not because I wrote a brilliant essay but because I had understood the question was metaphorical.  Apparently, many of the high school kids had not realized that and had written things like, "Well, if you are too open minded you might be willing to drive drunk and you might get into an accident and your brains will fall out."

I rethought this issue yesterday, kind of revisiting my academic past.  There was a story about the recent events involving the management and faculty at a small college in Minnesota so open to the need for nurturing sensitivity that their brains had evidently fallen out.     

Quick summary:  An art history teacher had been summarily fired, and publicly accused of Islamophobia by her employer, because she showed students a famous work of art -- a historical masterpiece depicting the Prophet getting instructions from the angel Gabriel.  There was a point to this lecture: She was pointing out, among other things, the inherent, inevitable collision of art, history and religion, and how the complexities of the issue must be considered. There was also a pertinent background: The medieval-era painting was wrought not by an Islamophobe but by a devout Muslim scholar.    Very sensitive to the religious implications; some Muslims feel that any representation of the Prophet is sacrilege. The teacher had also alerted her students, made the class voluntary, and invited any students to leave before the image was shown, at no penalty to themselves.

Still, some students complained.  The college management snapped to attention.  Brains splatted onto the pavement.  The president of the college said that sensitivity to religion “should have superseded academic freedom.”  The professor was gone.

The school has not been getting a lot of support. The Muslim Public Affairs Council yesterday published a statement in support of the teacher, and in favor of robust public religious debate.

I'm writing this essay because I want to make a point.  I think progressivism and liberalism are globally under attack and in jeopardy; right-wing authoritarianism is on the rise.  Liberals -- I have written that I am so liberal I should be tried for treason and executed - should not be split apart by stupid overreactions like this, particularly in academia. And sometimes nonsensical over-sensitivities in a fragile-flower culture.

I am personally an atheist, but don't disrespect religion. But respecting other's religious beliefs does not confer an obligation to adopt the beliefs of all other religions as your own.  I would think it absurd if orthodox Jews picketed a restaurant because it served lobster.

You should especially ignore me. I'm almost always wasting your time, especially on JS.

I don't mind giving in to that. I use it as a reminder not to engage even if I do click show me the post.

The repeated mention on the Open Season thread of "a random Jew in Miami" made me think of this story with my grandfather:
