Excellent! Many thanks for the quick reply.

I particularly like #2 & #3 of Tom's ideas.

That should be public ofcourse... someone just shoot me!

I did not have any H$ on this question either and agree with the OP that it was wrongly decided. While the friends leaderboard is indeed new, I am still unable to see who is #21 on the list.

The problem as I see it is that foreign sales of the F-22 is barred by law due to the statute of the United states titled the Obey Amendment that precludes the US from selling F-22s to any foreign country.

"I don't think there can be a "line" drawn against which we can appraise the morality of all questions going forward. You could say that we can't have any questions pertaining to the possible death of a public figure. But then is predicting the death of Britney morally equivalent to predicting the death of Osama Bin Laden?"

I agree with Donal aswell. News is often full of items that many find distastefull, immoral, upsetting etc. etc. None of this means that the question itself is any less valid. (Assuming it's a properly structured question ofcourse 8:[) Morality is a very personal thing. While many people may share similiar moral standards, no two people can be assumed to have the same moral standards. What might be immoral to me may just be distastefull to someone else.

While I agree that the Hubdub creators have the right to filter questions on their site if they choose to do so I think it would be a mistake.

I also wonder if their are not really 2 questions here. The prediction on questions such as war casualties and the wagering on such questions. Perhaps there could be a way of predicting an outcome but not "profiting" from it. Maybe having an additional leaderboard where the amount of H$ is irrelevant but the number of correct predictions made is what counts.

Excellent! Thanks
