I bet the cure's going to be out by morning, so we won't actually need to do anything else.

Could've gone a lot better, but ah well. I really hope that if there is a Z5, it has more things to do under the Zombie Control section.

The Serbian Empire

If I had woke up as I intended instead of at 10 am... it would have gone a lot better.

Things didn't end too badly, all things considered. Hell, we disrupted a minor Red Fleet operation without even trying to (I got confirmation of such via telegram) - this Z-Day has been quite productive.

Really? I've heard... less than kind words about it from most people.

Eh. I stopped playing Halo, and console games in general, around Halo: Reach's time.

Thanks for the zombie killing squads and cure missiles, guys. Now only about 80% of my population is deceased! YAY!

I like how I survived Z-Day with no deaths.

Speaking of wizardry, I'm going to have a lot of free time on Tuesday, so I'll be remaking Sahrok Nivod's flag.

I'll be recording and narrating the process, so y'all can see how I do things.

Anyone else went as a Ghostbuster for Halloween? Not only did I wear it to two parties, but I also wore to work. Good times.

The Ghostbusters are the ultimate libertarian movie heroes - free market businessmen selling a service that the government cannot provide, who in the form of the EPA try to shut them down. But the free market prevails and they save the city.

Donald Trump makes everyone but Huckabee, Santorum, and Graham look alright.

I like Fiorina's attention grabbing tone and Carson's calm collectiveness, but nothing beats Paul's tenacity and politics.

I was libertarianism. I put on a rand paul shirt, made some ancap and Gadsden flags and a porcupine pin on. The only thing I was missing was a gun since I couldn't bring it to school.

I speak Portuguese, English, German und Russian.

English and Spanish here, but I know a few expressions in about a half-dozen other languages and am slowly improving my comprehension of each. Mastering the modern lingua franca - which was my first language anyway - is one thing, but I'd feel more accomplished if I were a polyglot.

Would anyone be interested in a formal debate? For example, we could have two people arguing opposite viewpoints which they don't necessarily agree with, and have opening and closing statements along with 3 rebuttals. The winner - as in, the most convincing debater, as opposed to the one with the 'best' point of view - would be chosen by the region via poll.

I really like this idea.

The 'story' being circulated by alt-media sites saying that there are 4 Republican Senators and 5 mayors affiliated with the KKK is absolute garbage. First, Anonymous themselves haven't even released any information pertaining to the KKK members they're targeting yet, and secondly, the way this 'information' was procured - which, I'll say again, was not even done by Anonymous's OpKKK - was basically by checking which politicians certain KKK bloggers support.

To be honest, the less attention this group gets, the better. The Ku Klux Klan are completely irrelevant today. They've only got a few thousand members scattered around the South, most of whom just spend their days making fools of themselves rather than actively practising violence. I'd rather that this vile group stays in obscurity than give anyone ideas of joining it.

Alright, here's a suggestion: whether Obama is a left-wing or right-wing president/whether Obama is the most libertarian or least libertarian president in the post-Reagan era.

Well, Obama is obviously a left-wing statist crook so that's a no-argument.

Obama is clearly a right-wing President, the most libertarian one within the post-Reagan era; the former due to his knack for finishing many of Bush's abandoned pursuits, the latter because such policies have led many Americans to lose faith in the two-party system (not to mention authoritarianism in general).

*Pinkman face* Yeah, logic, b***h!

Obama sucks, but I feel that Romney would basically be a watered down Obamism in addition to more military intervention, so it's no contest.

I feel that is no argument, the only thing he did remotely right-winged was opening trade with Cuba.

I feel like a much more convicting or controversial issue should be the topic of the debate, to make for actual fun debate. Or, something completely not related to politics just for fun. Like The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones(Stones are much better btw) or maybe Star Wars vs Star Trek. Idk, something like that.

Sure there's an argument. Obamacare was a conservative healthcare plan that strengthened the role of the private sector rather than socialise medicine. President Obama has extended all but one of the Bush Tax Cuts, favours cutting the corporate tax rate and supports free trade with Asia and the EU. Obama signed the Budget Control Act - the sequester - and has actually kept government spending relatively flat. Obama helped end bulk data collection, ended the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and chose diplomacy in Cuba and Iran over war, which cannot be said about Bush or Clinton. Not only is he the opposite of an old, New Deal-style Democrat, but the most libertarian a president in modern times.

...

Do I believe any of that? Not really. But it shows that it doesn't take much to convincingly argue something, even an utterly asinine point.

Hallo Island, Teuberland

How about this for a debate topic: should judicial activism be allowed in any court? By this I mean court cases deliberately provoked to challenge a law. One famous example is the Scopes Monkey Trial, in which a substitute teacher taught evolution in a Dayton, Tennessee high school. The teacher was handpicked by the ACLU to provoke a challenge against a law that banned teaching evolution in Tennessee.

I for one think it's a good way to keep liberties in check. It allows citizens to have a legal forum to express their questioning of a law. However, spending the money of other individuals to push a standpoint is questioning.
