I wanted to share something I think is pretty interesting.
The founder of the region, [nation=short]Liberosia[/nation], goes to the school that rivals mine. I know many of the College Republicans that know him and many of his friends, and have been to his school and neighborhood a few times, yet I've never met Lib in person. I think this is pretty amazing, considering I first 'met' Liberosia through this game in 2013 (he retired from the game in 2013/14 and gave me his account details), and proceeded to move, independently, to his exact part of the world in 2017.

That's neat, y'all should meet in person.

We've tried, but the timing has never worked out, and he doesn't associate with CCR (California College Republicans) anymore, probably due to the amount of petty infighting that goes on within it.

Would it hurt your grades or staus to be outspoken like Nigel Farage elected to the EU Parliament, calling them out for their fraud, abuse, and usurpations; and declaring his intention to get Britain out of their despotic cabal while encouraging the European peoples to reclaim their liberty from their new overlords?

I am exacerbated by the inept and corrupt clerks, registrars, and talliers of those Floridian Counties that were too morally stupid and intellectually disingenuous to use the Australian method punch card ballots, one of the most secure ways and means and the world standard for free, fair and honest elections (again in both ways and means) that forced the rest of the US to abandon it for a more obfuscatory, less secure, more cost intensive, more easily exploitable, more time-consuming, more cumbersome and ridiculously overpriced closed source software on unreliably frail machines.
These counties cannot even be trusted with the voting machines that replaced it! They have failed in their civic responsibility to live in working state, and should be declared failed counties, brought into receivership, and reorganized as unincorporated territorial trust or some form more fitting their disarray. I think it was Stephen Hawking who said that nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently incessant fool. In the mean time we are stuck with voting machines more befitting corrupt Latin America regimes than the standards that once marked the US as a land of honor and exceptionalism.
We (States that used them) need to return back to the manual ballot punch cards, and junk the ev machines. As Uncle Joe Stalin said, "Its not who votes, but who counts the votes who counts," and with ev voting the closed source coders who count the votes are who counts. Let the failed Broward and Palm Beach Counties go to thumb ink and yipping kai-yai-yippy-yay after putting their purple inked thumbs next to the picture of the candidate, but keep the rest of us the hockey-sticks out of it.

The county has been run into the ground by corrupt and incompetent officials for decades. There's a good Politico article on the
matter: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/11/13/broward-county-florida-recount-222543

Wow, the fact you've heard that from Indiana is pretty embarrassing.
So there was an ideological conflict within the organization for quite a while. There's been a struggle between moderates wanting inclusivity and conservative hell-raisers. The moderates ran CCR for ten years until last year when the conservatives, led by the charismatic, Milo-esque Ariana, won the elections and took over the leadership. Ariana's very passionate, has big connections and is a very good communicator (she's been on Fox News a few times), but she can also be extremely abrasive and has burned many bridges over personal matters. This year many CR chapters have dechartered or dissolved because they're against her leadership, and even many loyalists and friends of hers have turned on her. The whole thing is a bit of a sh*t-show with constant drama.
It's not all bad, she's led some big deployments for candidates and CCR campaigns a lot now. But there's just so much petty drama and politics, a lot of the time you wonder whether it's worth being a part of it.
Rateria
Just means they need all the good people to help the organization as possible.

My philosophy teacher is showing us a straight up propaganda documentary about America's prison industrial complex. I usually agree with liberals on prisons because I think they're one of the few institutions that's justifiably state-owned, personally I'd like to see a restitution based criminal justice system,
but in any case, the entire documentary tries to paint a direct line from slavery to black imprisonment. Don't get me wrong, there is a line, but it's not that simple. They tried to say that economic liberty was thinnly veiled racism and propogated the lie of the southern strategy. So far they've troted out three token "Conservatives" who all spoke for less than 20 seconds, one of whom was actually agreeing with them. The real kicker was that my teacher showed this video until the end of class and left no time for discussion. There's a few important facts to consider: yes, the black crime rate has been inflated due to racism and lack of economic opportunity in the past, but, that's not why it is today.
The fact of the matter is that 14% of the population commits 50% of the murder. It's completely reasonable for there to be an increased police presence in those communities, thus leading to more encounters with police, thus leading to more arrests, thus feeding the stereotype, the only way to break the cycle is from within the black community itself, and it does a deadly disservice to American blacks when they're told they don't have to be responsible for their actions because it's all the white man's fault anyways.

'The party switch' is the favorite topic of clueless people who think they're woke. There was no magic switch of platforms in the 1960s - indeed, the liberal-conservative divide between the parties existed since the late 19th Century, and crystallized in the 30s - and the South arguably did not go fully Republican until the 1990s. Everyone forgets that Jimmy Carter swept the South in 1976, and the South sent more Democrats than Republicans to Congress until 1994. The South got less racist as it became more conservative, and many Southerners switched parties because of the influence of the Christian right and promise of economic opportunity.
The Wikipedia page on Southern Strategy is laughable. It says that attacks on the welfare state are dogwhistles for racism. Yeah, sure, that's how it works.
Miencraft, Rateria
I take a pretty moderate view on this issue. You're correct that blacks commit crimes disproportionately, but as you said, implicit bias is a thing, and there are a multitude of examples of police dealing with blacks in an incredibly unjust manner that warrants questions of racial bias. And both the welfare system and the criminal justice system, I believe, are institutionally racist, i.e. their structure and design disproportionately punishes black Americans relative to other racial groups, even if the leaders of these systems are not themselves racist.
At the same time, you're also right that there's a victim mentality out there and refusal to take responsibility. There are also plenty of cases where 'victims' of racism are anything but, like the thuggish Michael Brown that tried to kill a police officer. But I feel like remedying the institutional problems within America can help break both negative cycles and victim mentality.

I posted a sentence earlier regarding needed prison reform but I am on a friend' s Windowz7 (i'm an *Nix user) and wonder of wondows Winders7 has no clipboard, so I lost the post with the train of thought when I deleted it off the msg board intending to repost a clarification.
Changing of Justice from a set core of obective standards to a living corpus of evolving policy under Chief Justice Holmes (in the US -- at different times under GB and South Africa) was one of the worst peace-time changes in the history of Common Law jurisprudence (not hyperbolizing). The Progressivist laxing of Rules of Evidence particularly in the 30s, 50s, and 70s was most detrimental to Afro-Americans in particular and the American poor in general. As example sometime between 1900 and 1950 instead of identifying the exact hair found at a crime scene that corresponded to the accused victim directly it was changed so one could be accused and convicted for a "like" hair. Plant a black curly hair from the head of any one of an apparent negroid phenotype and you could arbitrarily convict 13.5% of the general population. What kind of crap is that? Don't get me started on unlawful instruction from the Bench to the Jury, the obfuscation of Jury instruction and the hiding of Citizen access to Common Law writs and warrants since the 1950s and the total and illegal removal from the public consciousness of call to Grand Jury by the affected citizens from the law books.
The main point if I recall was that prisons should be few and for only heinous crime that no recompense could be adjudicated to mete out justice for those actually harmed.
Sorry to hear that. I push going back to manual paper ballot punch cards. They can be counted within 4 hours and the protocol for handling is almost corruption proof. When that fails I rail for purple thumb ink and picture ballots administered by failed state warlords, as that would be less corrupt than the ballots from ev machines.

I agree we should have prisons, but we could avoid all the expense with rehabilitating people by simply not locking up people for victimless crimes in the first place. And the people who actually belong in prisons...the murderers and the like...I am not encouraged to rehabilitate anyway. Being sent to prison should be enough of a wake-up call to rehabilitate somebody.
Narland, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Wow! Look at how the leftist media is trying to character assassinate another Republican senate candidate. A few offhand comments made in jest by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith are being given a disproportionate amount of media coverage, and the talking heads are acting as if put her seat into play.
Don't buy it folks - it's psychological warfare. Just like with the incessant drumbeat of headlines about a 'blue wave' long before the actual midterm elections, this is manufactured controversy designed to suppress Republican turnout and create scandal where there is none. Unfortunately, in the midterms House Republicans were fooled into actually believing they were playing defense - despite the torrents of hateful actions and rhetoric by liberals, Democratic attempts to enact socialised healthcare and abolish ICE and the House's good policy successes - and let the opposition frame the elections and issues like healthcare. The result of letting the leftists dominate the narrative was three dozen Democratic pickups.
TL;DR: the Dems and their media lackeys are trying to scare Republicans into giving up. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake in this race.

Barring contempt (actual contempt) or sedition (again actual sedition/treason) and related perfidious inaction, no one should ever be incarcerated for a non-violent crime which in a well coherent theory of justice would be an oxymoron anyway (e.g., fraud being violence against good faith plus theft). Nonviolence without harm against the (natural) person done needs be treated as a tort or civic violation (if the duly constituted public servants insist on being terminal alimentary sphincters). In any case the punishment of torts needs to be well proscribed methods of uncomplicated restitution to the victim without bureaucratic interference.
The best rehabilitation really is hard labor (in systems where fail-safes keep the falsely accused from being falsely charged are firmly established). Except premeditated murder of the 1st degree, violent rape (as opposed to carnal knowledge by entreaty/seduction), and such (which I would like to see capital punishment.) Make prison sentences (relatively) short, very hard (hard not difficult), measured to fit the crime, in such a way that starting a business and learning how to serve one's fellow man with a product or service is easier (in simplicity of purpose) than committing force or fraud against their fellow citizens. Of course that is a consideration that can only be under a limited government whose goal is freedom and liberty. Make life so damned complicated for its citizens with petty rules and regulations and prisons look no different from or even a holiday in comparison. Once the debt is paid it is counterproductive to continue to punish the ex-convict. Prison should be a place of punishment and society should be a place of correction and learning. Instead we try to correct prisoners and then society punishes them when they get out for having been a convict.

Stumbled on and watched an amazing Australian neo-western series. It's just two movies: "Mystery Road" and "Goldstone." If you like Taylor Sheridan-type movies ("Hell or High Water," "Sicario," especially "Wind River"), then I highly recommend watching this series. It was dang good. A+

Funny how Hyde-Smith's win in the Mississppi Senate race is already out of the headlines. Doesn't fit the narrative I suppose!

Welcome! Humph and Pev are members of our region both known for their IRL fighting abilities. Humph served in the British SBS and now teaches hand-to-hand combat and often does military contracting work in the Middle East (that's why he disappears and reappears every few months). Pev grew up an orphan in the streets of Mumbai before becoming India's greatest jiu-jitsu master. He's like the slumdog millionaire of MMA.
We've often discussed over the years which of these masters would win in a fight, so it's been in the making for a while. :)

Real talk though, I'm pretty good with spicy foods. Can't say I particularly "like" them, but they're alright. My dad can't handle any amount of spice though, so back when I lived with him and he used to grow peppers, I'd freak him out and bite em off at the stem. Lol good times

I like spicy food but man am I bad at handling it. I'll eat spicy Mexican any day, but I will be sweating like a pig and it'll take a few hours. Never understood how people get so good at it.

Carrying bottles or packets of hot sauce in one's purse or wallet sends an immediate signal that one is not racist.
I think it's because they never let their burnt off taste buds grow back. I like spicy such as curry, peppercorn, coriander, and tamarind dishes.Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Spicy food is zhe best. Love Mexican food. One time, I ate sopa de albondigas with half of a habanero at the bottom. The soup was good until I finished it and at the habanero-half whole. Spent the next ten minutes over the sink. lol

In recent months the International Debating Area (or IDA) has suffered from low activity. It is no longer the busy and prosperous region it once was, a place where people from around the world would come to get their views challenged.
We intend to change this. Currently, the International Debating Area is undergoing its Grand Restoration as a last effort to reinstall activity and frequent debates. We would appreciate it if members from across all our embassies participated in our debates and perhaps even move a puppet to our region. Right now, we're hosting our first serious poll in a while:
