Region: Libertatem
So, let me ask you, Do you have the democracy centered motivation of Reagan, or is that dead, like Grimes??
Article I of the Bill of Rights guarantees free speech. Commies and fascists alike are welcome here.
Yes. My goal here, in a nutshell, (my unofficial slogan for the race) - ANKHORA: For Activity, Stability, and Diversity.
Activity: Im on. Alot.
Stability: I'm organized and also plan to do everything I can for the betterment of this region.
Diversity: I promote diversity. Everywhere, and believe that all people have rights and alot believe that Libertatem could grow and prosper through Diversity.
I'm a voter. I'm supposed to pick favorites, same as everyone else.
You want to know something funny? You almost had my vote. I was going to support you until I read what you had to say yesterday, and now that Ankha is in the race I at least know I can vote for someone reliable.
And to think I thought you'd mellowed.
Like I said, I think RRG should consider his motivation, and then reread his posts before he posts them. (RRG: You come of as very volatile..)
Thanks again CI (Lawless)
I hate having to choose one friend over another. But...
I wonder whether he ever thought of me as a friend to begin with.
I was also Going to vote RRRG but I heard him yesterday he went to GID then you came in Ankhora. Thanks.
What is it with our region and character attacks? Jesus, guys. This is getting embarrassing.
I am happy to offer the alternative here to offer nations like Ipian and others a voice, (to the extent I can).
EXACTLY. When you people get angry, you seriously need to think about who youre angry with. And why, channel your anger correctly! No random outbursts and ridiculous character attacks.

Grimes, do you realise that your incendiary comments towards Ankhora are actually strengthening his chances of winning, and weakening your own?
Post self-deleted by Ipian.
Exactly!
Obviously when you flame others that is unattractive. Misdirected anger is dangerous.
Ucr are talking about us again. Why are they so obsessed about this region?
Watch out, Ankhora - they're talking about banning you.
I am aware, also, I know exactly what Im gonna do.

I lolled at this. Can all the bourgeois slave-masters in here raise their hands?
There is no conspiracy at play. The majority of this region's ideas are aligned with the RLP, therefore that party is going to dominate unless people change their minds or another power challenges them.

*Humpy raises hand hesitantly*
Ok then. Bet you all didnt see that coming!
So, Can someone please make the ballot race Ankha. Glad to see you all. (Never thought Id say that...)
dang quote feature.
It seems that Ucr has become full-on Stalinist. It just goes to show how totalitarian that region has become that a former enemy of Libertatem is in fact a peaceful moderate who was exiled by his own people.
[nation=short]Ankha[/nation], you are welcome here.
Welcome!
Exactly. You dont realize how sad this makes ME. I gave my heart to that region, and they threw away everything I did for them. I wont compromise my ideals for stalinists. Ever. Thanks Pevv, and...
Also, I have a question for the current Board and Board candidates: what is your opinion on breaking embassies with Apartheid South Africa?
Sure.
I want the embassy revoked. We get absolutely nothing out of the embassy with them. It's not like we actually have a relationship, and the presence of their embassy in Libertatem only makes us look bad.

I think theyre messed up.
He was a good friend, but bad leader.
I think I agree. As someone pointed out to me the other day, I don't know how they could justify a system literally built on the principle of segregation as being non-racist.
Lol'ing at the UCR RMB right now.
[B]Libertatem [is] a region that only supports freedom of speech so long as you are part of a class making money.[/B]
Constitution of Libertatem
Article VII
Rights
Section I
Subsection I
The government shall make no law enforcing an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
UCR "Constitution"
The UCR welcomes all comrade nations and stresses a preference for "state socialist” or Leninist nations in particular. The Party welcomes all socialist nations, with a particular emphasis on Marxist-Leninist states. Non-Leftist nations are not subject to this provision.
Citizens must work hard to achieve and maintain a socialist label in The UCR.
Only trusted regional citizens may contest elections.
[There is only one party.]
[B][Libertatem] are calling [UCR] a dictatorship, [which obviously isn't true!][/B]
Nations Banned from Libertatem: 1
Nations Banned from UCR: 39
Libertatem [is] a region that only supports freedom of speech so long as you are part of a class making money.
But none of us make money in this game.........
Also. I have just achieved the status of Hero of the Proletariat in my region SO SUCK THAT MR. T.
Calling me a traitor of the people. Saying I supported an RLP dictatorship!
In other words how are y'all doing this fine evening?

I like how they say Ankha's presence here gives them a bad name since that implies cooperation with the same people they fight against every day.
Gee, I wonder if they know that we have plenty of Communists here.
Fine, just got my ass kicked in Age of Empires but fine.
About 4 "Plenty."
Anyways. I might try going over to UCR to visit and cool down their hate for y'all. I am regarded as a hero after all for "Cutting ties with the Nationalistic Pigs and liberating the Working class from the Nobles in Communist Beach" as one kindly wrote in a telegram after the incident.
Let me see if I can try that.
All adjectives are relative. Given that we're a basically anti-Communist region, any Communist presence here would qualify as "plenty".
There was NO WAY around that. They arent open to anything but strictly their own. When you are to oppressive, people realize.
Oh, I used to play that...I was pretty good. Old computer games are fun, and were great when I was learning to code.
DONT.
I've been learning more and more about the Viet Cong lately, and I must say that I've grown to respect them.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the Vietnam War was that thousands of peasants fought simply to preserve their way of life and keep their own land, only for all of it to be taken from them after the war's end anyway.
The Vietnam war never should've happened.
Not a good idea...
5000% bad idea
That Moment when the Viet Cong and Communist Vietnam were the good guys.
*Nods*
Neither side in the Vietnam war was a good side. They were both bad sides and The U.S simply chose the Dictatorship of the South. Biggest Disgrace of American Intervention during the Cold War. The biggest American Disgrace in the cold war though was McCarthy.
Since when have I had any good ideas?
Must you respond to quotes within the quote?
It gets a bit annoying. Even if you make your lines bold, it seems as if you're not actually saying anything and gets confusing pretty quickly.
Besides my new Economic/Political Philosophy Blakenomics and the MPA and the Modern DRP.
Oh, sorry. Ill do that.
:/
Those are my good ideas.

Oh, OK then...How do you make a keyboard worried face?
,':^٥
Possibly?
I know I'm late to the party, Ankha, but there's something I'd like to say:
You've taken your first step into a larger world.
No, I'm not referring to capitalism, free markets, or even right-wing philosophy in general. I'm talking about individualism - the power to be your own person and prioritize your interests above those of a group. Whether for good or evil, the individual is the strongest force in the world; neither the state nor society share this power. The reason I hate authoritarianism so much is that it tries to take power away from the individual; this form of tyranny is the worst kind, and the freedoms it takes away are the most important, those being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those are real liberties, and they are to be fought for at all times, whether you're on the right or the left.
Some forget this, or don't know it to begin with. You would not believe how many fascists and communists I've seen who have no clue of the power of the individual, and prefer to worship their states or their societies, respectively. They will not permit you to do what you want if you have something their particular organizations need. What you want is more important than many may say; don't listen to them.
Libertatem's not perfect. We're not the end-all be-all for free regions. I'll understand if you want to set up shop somewhere else in the future; I've done exactly that before. What makes this region truly great, however, is that we are dedicated to the ideal that no force shall stand against the freedom of the individual. People in this region, for the most part, can do as they please, and this has resulted in the system we have now. I hope it will serve you as well as you choose to serve it, if not better.
Thank you Lawless. (Sorry Im used to calling you that..instead of CI..)
I know this. I hope to become just that.
I guess one could say I am Lawless. (I'll answer to either name anyway.)

How individualist would you guys say I am?
Quite so.
Random thought: Why are "liberals" against conscription, but not taxation?
Because they prioritize the welfare system over simple matters of defense.
Idealism I understand your Anti-corporist argument. Many food companies bribe the government just as the tobbaco industry had done. Its enough. Many people are now hurting from obesity and diseases linked to it. Studies show that 1/3 of Amerians will have diabeties by 2050. And the government continues to allow this
Why are Conservatives not against Taxation...
Let me tell you why Because Conservatives and Liberals aren't the Same as Statists and Minarchists.
There are Liberal and Conservative Minarchists.
There are Liberal and Conservative Statists.
You can't Polarize like the. I use the Principle of the Third Way for example. There is more than just the four sides that the Political Compass has to offer.
I wouldn't say regulation is the answer to that one, but putting a stop to the bribes and subsidization would be a major plus.
When he says "liberals", he means statists - in other words, America's "liberals".
American Liberals are not liberals. they are Stateists.nothing more then people that want to move more power from the people to the Federal Government. They are lairs and Traitors to the Constitution of the United States.
The thing is not all of "American" Liberals are Statists.....The majority are but America has Liberals (Or used to) that supported a small state outside of Helping those who needed it.
Such as me.
I am a Liberal Socialist Libertarian.
Good for you, but "they" won't consider you one of them. (Lots of quote marks here. :P) In fact, "liberals", as a general rule, claim to hate socialism.
No regulation. The US government subsidies 8 billion to food industries. End subsidies
No welfare, that includes Corporate welfare.
Also the Housing and Urban Devolpement Department needs to go. The department has a noble cause, but never produces results. The role should be left to the states and the local communities, not the Federal government.
Of course I consider you a friend. I've known your nation for a really long time now, almost a year, and I like you. That post is called an argument. They tend to happen.
Every time anyone else says anything about disliking communism, disliking someone, or anything along those lines it's ok because they use all of this fake language to get their point across to seem "polite" or "sensitive." I don't do that. Every time I say anything, everyone freaks out because I say things in a casual manner, because I don't believe in that. That's wrong. That's deceptive. It's fake, and almost everyone here is guilty of saying things like that at one point or another. You know what I'm talking about. Working your ways around things instead of addressing something directly. It's annoying.
OMG close that embassy
I just saw the new X-Men movie. It was actually far better than I thought it would be.
But I thought the Board was supposed to represent the people? Not self interest? I can recall receiving flak for saying something like that before and everyone acted like it was the end of the world, but since it's CI, of course nobody is going to say anything.
exactly, The Constitution never have the Federal Government those powers.
Oh, I know right??
YOU PEOPLE HAD AN EMBASSY WITH APARTHEID SOUT AFRICA!!!! YOU RASICT PIG I SHOULD OF LISTENED TO MY FRIENDS THEY WHERE RIGHT, THIS REGION IS JUST A PLACE FOR FASCISTS, RACIST, IDIOTS TO LIVE IN THEIR OWN LITTLE STUPID AND EVIL WORLD!!!! GOOD DAY!!!!!
I'm not a fan of how now that the timeline has changed drastically, the other 6 films don't even matter anymore. I feel like Bryan Singer wants a fresh start. There's a lot of other plot holes I have problems with too, but I don't want to spoil anything so maybe another time.
run along peasant
NO I WILL STAY THIS REGION NEEDS A MESSIAH!!!
I know. The movie could of been stand alone, which was good and bad. The plot lines, (There were basically 2) were both kind of under developed, and the climaxes were kinda shown and skipped over. Anyway, It was still pretty good, *holds up glasses*, and we get cool 3d glasses... :)
:/
And youre the messiah? :0
Personally I never liked the X-men, too many superheroes in one movie. If your looking for a really good superhero movie go see the Amazing Spider-man 2.
One thing I don't like is(this shouldn't be a spoiler) how they don't fully explain how Magneto gets his powers fully back or how Professor X is alive. I know at the end of X3 they show Magneto move the chess piece even though he got the cure, but it still doesn't make sense. They also show Professor X in that sick guy's body in X3. He mention transferring his consciousness to other people earlier in the movie, but that was a different guy. How did he get his body back? Both of these things really are plot holes and made me super confused during the after credit scene in The Wolverine.
I know what you mean. It makes the characters underdeveloped. My all time favorites are The Avenges andCaptain America 2: The Winter Soldier. If you havent seen them both, theyre on the internet.
YES YOU PIG I AM!!! I'M WHAT THIS REGONS NEEDS.
The XMEN franchise has way to many holes, they tend to wrap well iin the other franchises, but they were sloppy with combining this one and the previous movies.
LOL. And Chris is straight as a line.
...... too shay.
They X Men are my favorite super hero team. There is really good character diversity in the series of both movies and comics which is why I rank Wolverine my fav super hero of all time and Magneto my fav villain of all time. I would kill to have Magneto's powers, especially in these times where everyone for the most part carries a metal cell phone. That would be awesome.
And I heard that Spidey 2 sucked. And to me if it's not Tobey Maguire it's not really spiderman. I don't like Garfield's performance, it's too stereotypical and just cheesy at times.
touche*
I like Wolverine, but then again so does my 67 year old religion teacher.....
I heard that TAS (The Amazing Spiderman) was never a good series, target age is too low.
To be fair the last actual film in the franchise came out 8 years ago. But otherwise, yeah, agreed.
We at Horizon are committed to expanding intercultural communication through our world renowned diversity training programs.
I wasn't even a huge fan of the first one honestly
8?! Oh, I thought it was more recent. But, yeah, honestly, after seeing the others, this one was way too disjointed.
People told me not to bother, so I havent seen it.
Both those movies where amazing and I can't wait for The Avengers 2 and Captain America 3.
The whole time travel aspect of the movie was stupid. They should have made the two time periods into two Diffrent X-men movies.
X Men: First Class is basically just one big "F You" to the beginning of X3 and Bryan Singer
Avengers 2: The Rise of Ultron. *gasp* I know. Its gonna be good. But we lost Nick Fury and the Eyepatch! NNOOO!
Captain America was good. Both movies. I like Iron Man, only because Tony Stark has a good actor and the best comebacks.
Agreed,
It's just to add in Kitty's phasing ability. And I feel bad for people who didn't read the comics or watch the TV shows. They were all like "Who's Bishop?" I liked it side by side though, it was good development for professor X and Magneto. I would have liked to see more about the future though. My real question is, if the sentinels are such a big deal, where were they in the last 6 movies? Certainly the other x men would at least know about them. Or when Magneto attacked the facility in X3 wouldn't the sentinels have come to kill all those mutants in one place?
