Jyte should purchase nuclear weapons.

Don't you think this claim is spam, CB? ;-)

Give this claim three hours and it will have six votes minimum. It's humorous.

"Humorous" is indulgence for claim of not to be "spam"?

I'd like to see some actual arguments for and against.

Jyte is not a pibb, not a forum at all.

Funny that there's a whole "discussion" section where people can post comments.

@Cobra

Arguments for: raising our profile in the world; threatening spammers; it's just plain cool
Arguments against: none that I can think of

This is the single most important claim ever made on Jyte

thanks Atom Dude and Jon Rascher

Ivan: being interesting and desired by the community makes a claim not spam. if it is funny enough to get votes, even if it is subtly advertising cobra's nuclear weapons store, it is not spam, IMO.

Vynce, is it a definition of "spam"?

By the way I'm really bored by this idle discussing of spam theme. Is it written somewhere in TOS that I must do claims for community, not for myself?

no, but nor is it written that we must not bitch about it if you make the experience less pleasant for us. These objections are not about a violation of the terms of service, but merely about community adn contentment. I could give a shit if you're bored by it. I'm bored by it, but i'm also bored byt eh fvast majority of your claims. and, for what it's worth, in this instance i was merely answering a question you posed -- or trying to. I may have misunderstood.

Again, trying to answer one of your questions -- spam is unlooked-for and undesired content, generally advertising or serving some other purpose more in the interests of the sender than the recipient; especially that which is not targetted well at the recipient, such as a bulk mailing or sweeping approach like claiming in the most public forum abotu something that is not necessarily of interest to any of the participants. If you are really only claiming these things for yourself, you could start a group and make them private claims to that group, and we'd never have to see them. But I don't think they are just for you; I think you do want people to see them, and that's why I'd appreciate you slowing down and putting a little more effort into quality. When you slow down, as I have noted before, you demonstrate that you have some interesting ideas. I just wish you'd work a little harder on your presentation.

I see that you absolutely do not understand that the last bunch of claims was not my own but pewresearch.org questionnaire at Pew Global Attitudes Project.

It is even somehow strange as one having a little curiosity can evidently found it from tags.

Um... I wasn't talking about any claims in particular, I was talking about your entire history, fast approaching two thousand.

nd you're dead wrong. I do understand that they were not written by you; that's why the english was clear. But that's completely irrelevant to any point I have so far made.

However, I'm not sure why you brought it up -- you posted the claims. If you stole them from someone else, they are even more likely to be spam than if you wrote them yourself. If you don't want responsibility for them, don't claim them. Let the Pew researchers come in and claim them themselves -- they'll get called spammers too, most likely, just like the last bunch of so-called researchers that did that, but no skin off your nose.

Your post is absolutely irreleavnt so I will not even comment it. No more discussion.

Ivan, claim that. See how far it flies. You not liking the implication of Vynce's comment does not impact its relevance.

I do not want to discuss any more in words you dudes use.

I'm sure you'd prefer to discuss by posting fifty claims that are all fundamentally similar and similarly uninteresting. Say, you haven't spammed us with a series of claims, noting every movie Steven Speilberg ever directed individually and whether or not we've seen them, yet.

You should so do that.

It is your fundamental human right not to vote on uninteresting claim.

I can only repeat that I do not understand how you even see my claims and posts.

Magic.

...the gathering.

A higher profile for Jyte also means more people flocking to it. And I'm not sure having it grow rapidly is necessarily good for it. That's my argument against nuclear weapons.

Since we aren't an important trading partner of any of the nations on the UN security council, we have to worry about sanctions.

But with nuclear power we'd suddenly become an important international figure, further, our dispersed presence among civilian populations in other countries make both military and economic solutions difficult at best.

They could cut off our net access. Then how would we vote on who to bomb?

we could constantly be torrenting backups to each other so that at any time we could revive the sit ein a new location.

they'll never take us alive.

Excellent plan. But I believe someone should safe-guard the nuclear weapon.
Specifically: me.

Where's all the money for these warheads coming from? Fairy land?

Maybe.

Does anyone have an account at BOFL?

BOFL?

Bank Of Fairy Land.

If you read the claim you'll notice I recommended passing the hat. If everyone threw down and we got another half million members we could do it.

Fat chance, thank goodness.

I'm against nuclear war, but I personally think we should have nukes.

Why is that so hard to understand.

Fukes would be better: we can keep a secret can't we?

It's been said that the big missiles they used to parade up and down Red square on May Day were plywood dummies, but they sure looked scary to me.
