Region: Libertatem
I love freedom. It is great. I am not ignorant enough to be told that happiness comes with laws. But I am also not ignorant enough to believe that society, as it functions today, can remain peaceful and maintain optimal achievement abilities without laws. This does not mean, however that I support all laws or oppression.
So Seat Three is secure. Amarican and Godisdead will run for Seat Five.
God damn it, nobody ever goes for 4!
Seriously though, good luck.
Lets not make my campaign a joke. I believe in laws, but I also believe that they sometimes have to be broken. If you think I am a joke, keep it to the telegrams and stop humiliating me in public, thank you very much. If you think that I don't care about this region, you are wrong.
And Lack vs. NP for Seat One. I recommend a poll option like CI's style.
1. Lack there of and Amarican
2. Lack there of and NP
3. Godisdead and Amarican
4. Godisdead and NP
5. Humpheria for all of them.
Isn't the very definition of government/society something that records and enforces rules?
Sure you can make a different kind of government, but at the end of the day, if it enforces rules it's basically a government of sorts.
And, with that, I have stuff to be doing, so I'll be gone.
Also still doing flag commissions, and will be doing them until I finally die or forget about Nationstates altogether. Whichever comes first. Probably death.
"The Political Joke of Hallo Island"
That would be wrong if you believe the government doesn't have any legitimate duties. And this is where we have our disagreement and i'm fairly certain neither of us are going to budge.
thats not exactly accurate
Option 5 is clearly the best choice. The Board of Super Sexy Humpy Fun Time.
how about no law(s enforced at gun point) = freedom
And also good night, 'Tatem.
That is different. I like to.make fun of myself, which is a quality you all should gain.
Questions for Board Candidates:
1. What are your views on the War on Communism?
2. What will you do in office regarding the War?
3. What party do you affiliate yourself with?
4. Are you, in general, a liberal or a conservative?
5. Do you love me?
6. What do you see as the biggest issue regarding our region, what do you intend to do about this problem?
I suppose that is one way to look at it. But according to webster "the governing body of a nation, state, or community.".
If you have enough children to be a community, well then, sir, you have a much higher patience level than I.
It does not change. Government may not be called so in a world without it, but it is still the same. A group of people making decisions for everyone. The name is all that changes. Change laws into rules. It's all the same. "Do as I say or you will be punished." "You are not aloud to do that." "These words on this piece of paper dictates what you must do."
One of my favorite quotes:
"Get a job. Go to work. Get married. Have kids. Follow fashion. Act normal. Walk on the pavement. Watch TV. Obey the law. Save for old age. Now repeat after me: I am free."
Have you not heard how many homosexual polygamist jokes have been flying around? What, do you think I have men on hangers in my closet? No. If my girlfriend saw half of the stuff on here, she would do unspeakable things to my no-nos.
Indeed.
Here's a hint, your actually not required to do any of that. You have the freedom to choose to comply. You must accept the consequences if you do not. With or without law/rules, the same thing would occur.
"Mess with the bull, get the horns" is my favorite. But "Freedom is not without consequence" is just as good.
And what do governing bodies do?
Make and enforce rules. ;)
but its cool, we're all friends here
unless someone mentions tta
Ha!
Ex:
Ugg and Agg go on a pre-historic fantasy picnic. Ugg has the freedom to straight up steal all Agg's brontosaurus steaks. But if Ugg tries that he will get rocked in the face by Agg. But instead, they eat their food together and later find females. Totally good looking females.
Sounds like my kind of (prehistoric) guys.
1. Let's keep it going. Why would we not do what this region is meant to do? The war itself is a waste of time though. But I still just hate how we pretend these regions of 4 countries really matter.
2. ll
3. I'm assuming this is real life yeah? At this point(and it pains me to say so) probably the democratic of the US.
4. liberal
5. No offense to the gays of this region, but this is really gay.
6. The arguably laughable "war" on communism. I can already feel the butthurt coming so allow me to explain. This is the internet folks. And on this site you can't just stop commies from creating more accounts or refunding a region. Nobody cares if the name of their region has been stolen because of a refounding. If anything, it'll only make them more mad. We have 112 nations and are in the top 100 now, which btw is awesome. But that doesn't even matter. Not at all. Some of these alliances are just huge. REATO honestly, is pretty freaking pathetic. Let's be honest with ourselves. If one of those top 50 regions had beef with us, they could wipe out every REATO country without breaking a sweat because we have no possible way of stopping them. Duh. The war is basically just a side activity for those that wish to participate. I am no altruist. I can endorse, but I will no longer openly participate(not as though I did much in the first place) in this war. Just think of how minuscule of a difference taking out one region makes. None. Sorry if this offends you or something, but you know it's true.
I am Warn Buffet, and I approve this message.
Really I do have the freedom? If I do not comply with these "standards" I am faced with ridicule. Laughed at. Without law and rules, without beuracracy and bogged up government where people don't eve remember government let alone know what that is, I doubt it. We would do as we please. It is because of this structure of society that we live in that all the things listed in that quote are follow in the first place.
1. The War on communism should be expanded to bring a fight to the communist regions and commit to a rollback campaign.
2. I will pass all needed legislation to carry out the war, also I will implement a policy of raiding then establishing a stable government that is friendly to ours before leaving.
3. I am the Chairman of the Libertarian Imperialist Party, the policy maker of the party.
4. I am Conservative on most ideas, but liberal on a few.
5. Of course without doubt!
6. I would like to empower the Board in the policy of foreign affairs. I will try to pass a bill giving greater oversight on the foreign affairs.
First off, it's Warren Buffett. If you were going for a joke, Warm Buffet would have been better. And what is that supposed to mean chief. Does somebody want beef?
While I agree with your point, I reject your premise. The war is not to destroy Communist regions, but to stand up against the ideology of Communism. Do you take us as idiots? We are not fighting the people, we are fighting the idea. And no, I don't think we'll ever win, evil will always endure, but we will die trying.
Yes you do have freedom, see my previous example. What is exactly stopping you from doing what you want too? You don't have to comply to anything. The same as my previous example, you just have to be prepared to face the consequence. Without law, there is still consequence.
Law developed as a way to guide people to a better life, the same way a parent teaches their child. It's not that it can't be broken, it's merely a suggestion so that you do not face the consequence that comes along with your actions.
I dislike unjust law, i actively fight against unjust law. But i do enjoy law that says do not kill me. Even many anarchists enjoy the thought of the NAP.

Questions for Board Candidates:
1. What are your views on the War on Communism?
I want to Change the name to The War on Totalitarianism,not all Communists are bad.
2. What will you do in office regarding the War?
In office i hope promote a Liberation more Totalitarian regions.
3. What party do you affiliate yourself with?
I am a Member of the Paul Party
4. Are you, in general, a liberal or a conservative?
I am a Classical Liberal but in the modern day i lean Conservative.
5. Do you love me?
Yes i do love you Humpy.....No Homo
6. What do you see as the biggest issue regarding our region, what do you intend to do about this problem?
I see Inactivity as the biggest problem,we have over 100 members yet only 10-20 of them are active.
I'm unchallenged but I'll answer this anyways because yes!
1. Others might see it to be unnecessary, but Nationstates in and of itself is unnecessary. We were founded on the War. We built this region on anti-Communism. We exist because the War exists, and the War exists because we exist. We are the War.
2. Encourage citizens to sign up for the military and carry out raids more often. With a larger army, we could potentially raid many small regions at a time, and none of them would know until after the fact. Plus, having a larger army also obviously opens up the possibility of raiding many large regions, with the downside being we can't raid multiple regions.
3. In the real world, I personally align with the Libertarians but would register as a Republican if I ever seek office.
4. Assuming "liberal" here is not classical liberal, conservative.
5. Of course, dear.
6. We don't have many active people who are willing to engage in our politics. We've got five board seats. Three or four of them are unchallenged every term. What can we do about it? Nothing much, just encourage people to participate in politics because it's fun and it's always nice to see what new people can bring to the table. In a related vein, we're back up to above 100 nations, and many are inactive; we need to do more recruitment and get more people who will stick around longer.
In other news, i'm about to hit 1 billion citizens on this account... and that just pleases me so.
NOW I'm going to bed. Best of luck to the Seats 1 and 5 candidates.
Ha! Beat you to it.
So parents are teaching their children that when they get older, the parents will receive half of all their stuff to pay for random crap? That they will live a life that is linear. These suggestions that you speak of outline your life. I don't want to go to college. It's a waste of 4 years of my life. But I HAVE to. I MUST. From the moment we enter school, we are told that you should go to college. With our young impressionable minds, everyone wants to go. But as you get older some of us may not want to. A minority of students. They will be called "loser" and other labels and be left with a minimum wage job, barely surviving on hard dutiful work while their rich and ambitious friends that are slightly more fortunate than they are get to pay thousands of dollars for a piece of paper that says they get to make more money. How is that fair? Some people are just more naturally well equipped to be president of a company than those with the right qualifications. But maybe their parents were poor so that really sucks, you don't get to follow your dreams because you lack money. That isn't fair at all. And it is because of this linear path that is set up by government that we all follow that people like that always get f*cked. It is regrettable and just not right.
Ahhh shaht up
1. What are your views on the War on Communism?
I've been fairly open on my stance regarding the war. It has spawned an endless cycle of aggression against potentially peaceful regions, has incited the left of nation states, and slandered the name of the right libertarian/anarchists of nation states.
2. What will you do in office regarding the War?
I've come to terms with the fact that the region will most likely never renounce the war, seeing as how it is a simulation and really inconsequential in the long run, but that doesn't mean I won't continue to scrutinize our military policy and call out any overly aggressive tactics or measures so that we can avoid any further CBesque fiascos. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood miliary watchdog.
3. What party do you affiliate yourself with?
I am the current chair man of the regional LP, whose platform may be found in my factbook.
4. Are you, in general, a liberal or a conservative?
Jokes on you, I am an anarchist
5. Do you love me?
how could I not you big ball of hump
6. What do you see as the biggest issue regarding our region, what do you intend to do about this problem?
The biggest issue that I see facing the region is our inter-regional appearance. As seen by the most recent bouts between the UCR, we are in a rather interesting predicament in regards to our former allies. I see one of the biggest perpetrators of this nuisance to be ill thought out advances of our military actions abroad. I have taken the initiative to request to be "in the loop" with our military manager and keep a vigilant eye for anything that I think may be detrimental to the region in the long run.
This really has nothing to do with an argument about whether law is necessary or not. I think we're on different wavelengths here.
Either way, no you don't have to go to college. Many drop-outs have been extremely successful. It's the current education system that puts that in your head. But that is something completely different.
I will respond to further inquires tomorrow. You fellers picked Roads' brain enough tonight. Good night!
Ok and how do you propose we fight an idea? What is the only real way to do that on this game man? Fight regions. Take them over. Fight people. There is no other way.
"Do you take us as idiots?"
I'm getting really pissed off at you. Why must you always act as though I am an outsider? You have been here for like only a few weeks longer than I have?! Yet, you act like you have been here forever. You act like because I started somewhere else I am incapable of loyalty and trust. You act like you don't want me here and you act like you're automatically better than me because of it. Piss off. I'm sick of this and you'll probably deny it and with the backing of all your other high ranking buddies this will be diffused in seconds. Why does everyone in this region gang up on everyone else who they don't like? The way you treat me, Hallo, and countless others is ridiculous. I despise it.
Well, I just wanted to say something here, I think that your are both right, and really we (meaning all of us) are fighting against the idea by fighting its believers, if that makes sense.
By "us" I meant supporters of the war.
I mentioned your loyalties once during the TFI 2 conflict.
for clarification purposes, by "us" I meant long term residents
Wish I would have clarified so I didn't get hung a pike for something I didn't even say.
I have decided that I will be running for seat 3 rather then 5. I look forward to the run and I see Reagan as a great and challenging opponent.
Yeah sure alright.
A genius tactic to run against a person with probably really low approval ratings after tonight. Seems legit.
In real life I am swearing in to the US Marines this June. So excited!
I don't understand, who would want hmpers on a pike?
I wish I loved fiat currency that much
Oh, so you launching into a rage without fully understanding what I was talking about means that I was lying? If I really hound you about coming from TFI, how many times have I brought it up? If you are going to accuse me I would like to have precise events, besides the TFI 2 conflict, where I made that an issue for you? I have never done it since then.
Congrats, I appreciate your service to our Glorious Republic
Pevvania/Humpheria 2014
Congrats! I'm heading out to base for my cousin, he's getting sworn in to the navy tomorrow.
Thank you, Manager.
Oh
Congratz to him as well. Ill see him soon maybe.
He's heading to NSA Sigonella, Italy.
Does anyone have any plans to run for Public Office IRL?
That really depends on what happens to me in college, because the way I understand it the only thing i'm going to gain aside from student debt is a bad case of alcoholism and a worse case of liberalism
Sure
Mayor of my city
Representative for the 5th District in Michigan
Senator of Michigan
Governor of Michigan
President of the United States
In that order
No state senator
That is very close to mine.
County Council
State Senator
Rep for the 9th District of Indiana
Senator
Governor
President of Indiana University Bloomington
President of the United States
Nope I don't have state legislature in my plans.
well if I ever get my dream job at Cato, I can assure you I will be harrassing the literal fVck out of all of you day and night until you admit you have no authority to hold your positions
I probably will get to thinking about the presidency at age 50-60
State Senate is considered the stepping stone to greatness in Indiana.
I love the Cato Institute.
I plan on running in the 2050s. If I'm lucky, I'll be President #100, though unlikely.
'Tis great.
I will be 50 in 2048
Looks like we gonna have to tussle in forty years then.
most people dream of being president, and here I am dreaming the office were dissolved
In the Republican primary ay
We need government. Lack thereof
It depends on the climate then. Hopefully, we can win as a Libertarian by then.
I will still be in the gop even if the Libertarians could win.
Fair enough.
lol, you jokester
I just love the history of The Republican party. I don't have any bad feelings about the Libertarian Party.
see this guy, he gets it
The creeps have come out, I go to bed.
and now its time to leave the internets for today and start my ap english project due in seven hours, im such the model student.
Good night Sons of Liberty.
The Libertarian party will control America. All will bow to the force that is the Libertarian Party.
Seriously, the Libertarian Party needs some sort of libertarian populism. Being intellectually oriented is nice and all, but we need the same energy and populism the Tea Party provides for the Republicans (without the social conservatism and looniness.)
Don't see why I have to provide specific examples when you know it's true. You've brought it up on several occasion and you always act like I'm not worthy of being here or something. Such annoy.
Awesome!
So no examples? Ok, thank you.
Welcome [Nation]people with poor judgement[/nation]! Your nation's name cracks me up lol
1. I want to maintain and expand it.
2 Pass every law regarding its expansion.
3 Republican? :-\
4 socially liberal, fiscally conservative
