STANG

He posted it in the general forum and here 7/8 times in threads that weren't arguing of this strictly related matter.
Check for yourself,I'm not saying bollocks.

I fully agree it isn't bannable behaviour just yet, he hasn't spammed that many threads. Therefore since it isn't bannable behaviour, neither are the posts which contain absolutely nothing that we would condemn in one single post. ...[text shortened]...
MÅ¥HÅRM <- wondering why he's bothering with this lost cause...

He's polluting this forum putting the same post about americans in every thread and I don't know you,but i'm pretty bothered by it.

Now that we can't alert moderators, I want that all of you alert those off-topic posts and we'll see if they will be removed.

If someone doesn't care about a post or idea is plain childish to spam the forum with the same post.

Thanks for reading.

Kick the jerk out

It has now been decided that the test program for the new AI system STANG, the Senient Typist (Alpha Numeric Generator) is failing.

As you will note, initially the program generates fairly coherent responses, but eventually these become repetitive, due to a looping effect. This is extremely disappointing for the developers, after 7 years of hard work and could mean a return to the drawing board.

The system will be allowed to continue to run, but please be aware that the following messages indicate a continuation of the looping error and should be ignored until rectification allows a new message to be generated:

Alot of threads go off on tangents from the original topic. Please only use this thread to answer the question, now with clarifications, else go and play chess or have a cup of tea.

How much concern do American's have when allowing for the possibility that the balance of power is going to shift over the next 50 years whilst America continues to be perceived as an aggressor with suspect motives ?

This is a question about how the world will be when America no longer enjoys its current level of control and the world is short of diplomacy and full of weapons.

By diplomacy I mean a past and present where fair and peaceful outcomes have been negotiated.

Here's just one example why people need to consider the longer term consequences of their country's actions (beyond one politician's time in power) and why it is necessary for a major overhaul of foreign policy.

Those for suicide bombing in defence of Islam

Indonesia 27%
Pakistan 33%
Jordon 43%
Nigeria 47%
Lebanon 73%

This is just one example. However, this example also shows that there's more to be done than eliminating small fanatical groups.

... and, at this turning point, which presidential candidate is better for the longer term viability of the world ?
____________________________________________________________

I see the world as one big project - the mission being sustainable existence for all.

As with any project, there are a number of stakeholders and there will inevitably be conflict of interests. The challenge in the world project is that there are many stake holders. The responsibility of managing the project therefore needs to be shared by people not necessarily at the top of the heirarchy. We therefore all have a higher degree of responsibility than we might think.

An important characteristic of a good project manager is their ability to conceive possible situations, to consider and to make contingencies for these.

There are people debating whether America will or will not survive as the main superpower rather than considering the situation raised in the opening question.

What do you see the outcomes being in that situation and to what degree do you feel concerned ?

(Without debating whether the Soviet Union was brought to its knees by over commiting on its military and security, withtout debating whether the American economy is on the decline, without debating whether China and other countries have things in place to grow faster than what one might imagine, etc)

What the heck is a STANG? And should it end in a 'K'? I am not about to go look. I take it he is from Europe? An american hater slash bater... &lt;snicker... causing the most honorable acolyte to cringe&gt;

Ps... Acolyte... you are perhaps the most honorable person I have the priviledge of goading. No harm... no foul, I hope.

Don't know how you got the impression that I am an American hater. I was simply asking a question that few have answered.

I agree, there is a vast difference between someone who actively goes out of their way to post anti-American opinions (ie STANG, and possibly ianpickering), or someone who questions/has issues with American foreign policy (quite a few people on this forum).

Admittedly, I fall into the latter category, but I am not adverse to seeing the *right-wing* American point of view.

Maybe if STANG tried to engage people in some mode of discourse, rather than just baiting them, he would be taken more seriously.
