Elvis was probaly the first rock sound and Beatles helped improve it later.

I can't believe anyone would make a Kurt Cobain joke. That's just mind blowing

You know why he committed suicide, right?

I realize this previous discussion is over, but this last part here really spoke to me, and I've been meaning to say something about it:

Communal Militia wrote:-America is the best country in the world, for nothing is imperfect of her glory. All nations are inferior to America and all should bow down to her greatness.

-Everyone has to have the same religion or else we'll kill you.

Hmm. That's funny; the USSR told their populace the same thing in the Stalin era, switching "America" with "Soviet Union" and "the same" with "absolutely no".

In all seriousness (though I was serious with that previous part), I find it hilarious how CE was acting as though his free speech rights were being curtailed and that we were out to oppress him and his point of view. He used his last words in the argument to mock us by using what he thought were our own words in the hopes that it would make what he had to say appear more legitimate.

The truth is, we encouraged this discussion. We were actually pretty patient with his ignorance of the deaths of a hundred thousand people (or more - the Soviets didn't keep very good statistics, it seems) to starvation (and imprisonment/execution of political prisoners) in the former nation he so idolizes, and went along with his lack of sources in order to keep the debate fluid. We even provided him information he could have used to strengthen his argument more realistically.

If this were his region, not only would there be no discussion, but we would be banned for being a "sign of capitalistic growth" and "ideological enemies," "enemies until the end," in fact. What reason would he have to accommodate us anyway, considering he promised himself that he wouldn't compromise?

If you're reading this, CE, I'm sorry, because what I have to say may actually be beyond your understanding - not that you're stupid (although I think there might be people who want to debate that), but simply because you may never have experienced it. Here it is:

We're Libertatem; that's Latin for "freedom" or "liberty." You know, probably better than anyone here, that a lot of institutions and states call themselves "free" when they really aren't, but we actually try. We don't see visitors as threats; our security measures can easily resist invasion if anyone were stupid enough to try, but no one tries. During our current President's term, I think we've banned a grand total of one nation, and that was after careful deliberation. Yeah, we get a lot of communist visitors, but we cordially accept/reject their challenges as a nicety rather than kicking them out. We have a working democratic system, which kind of contradicts your little "capitalists are fascists" rumor. And, most importantly, the nations here can do pretty much whatever they want as long as it doesn't bring harm to another nation. It's actually worked out pretty well for us so far.

I would imagine you're more used to an environment in which power must be grabbed in order to avoid your own oppression, where freedom is more of an inside joke and only equality is the true indicator of a region's prosperity, and where saying the wrong thing at the wrong time can mean trouble. You probably don't believe us when we say we're not like that at all.

CORRECT!!!

Kurt Cobain was never reached nirvana, he committed suicide, which is not inner peace.

Gotta point there.

Regan Red Nation wrote:CORRECT!!!

Ooh, Kurt Cobain was afraid of his wife, why?

My task was easy. Convince people who liked Laissez Faire economics to convert to interventionism.

Then I had to divert that effort to get the Commies to convert.

Right-Winged Nation wrote:Ooh, Kurt Cobain was afraid of his wife, why?

Let's see... she would shoot him up with heroine, she was annoying as hell... yeah.

They aren't.

Regan Red Nation wrote:Let's see... she would shoot him up with heroine, she was annoying as hell... yeah.

Well yes but here's the pun. She would yell rape me at Kurt everyday, which freaked him out.

Right-Winged Nation wrote:I mean I don't know if he will convert

I will get him to covert. I swear by my body I will.

Albenia wrote:I will get him to covert. I swear by my body I will.

I hope, because so far we haven't gotten to him yet

It's never going to work. He can't be converted.

That'd be interesting. The most disliked guy in the region does something no one else could do.

I mean all of have made strong accounts against it, still unphased. You tell him of the horror that happened and he still defends them.

Your beliefs and things you've done in the past don't affect why we like you.

I'm indifferent to you because your actions don't seem to be overwhelmingly positive or negative in the present day.

I know this post was a long time ago, but what are you talking about. Metallica is not alternative at all. They are the most commercially successful (and annoying) metal band of all time.

I think that's the joke

Yeah reagan red nation isn't being serious

Did the jersey come in any colour you like?

No, it came in the color my dad liked(Ha).The cool bonus is when it came, it had an all-star patch so I was tempted to sell it for profit... XD

Which is also a good song. One of my all time favorites.. (Money, I mean..)

Time is good. I love wish you were here (winning talent show piece this year), comfortably numb (slightly depressing, good for wednesdays.. xD), and the wall is good, but I like Dark Side better.
