Shush. I'm being nice he had no votes.....
Oh wait he has Lib voting for him? Nevermind then.
It appears RRRG is going to win this election.
That's an interesting POV that I haven't ever really heard of to be honest. I would never place my love of country aka altruism high enough to ever join the army. I think it's a little silly to be "Proud to be an American" because it was entirely by chance that you were born in the first place, let alone in the US. I don't say the Pledge of Allegiance, because I don't pledge my allegiance to any country, but to my loved ones and to the betterment of my own life. Nor do I sing the Star Spangled Banner at any of my football games or anything of the sort, because it's kinda silly to do so. Who ever decided a sheet of cloth means anything anyways?
Something I just thought of: Who ever decided writing my name in cursive on a line means I am going to abide by the document's rules? Who did that happen?
Your still a Socialist.
That's the whole point of a contract.
Use it please. Use it. I'm using Hawaii as it's the only state I support a High MW in.
But that's not how it will be discriminated! We will end up discriminating on Race, sexuality, politics and Gender.
It's not my argument. Link me one. Link me a book...Any. (It needs to be free and readable online..)
It doesn't, welcome to anarcho capitalism. Non-coerced individuals take care of those things, through persuasion and economic boycott (as well as other economic practices.)
So you put an adjective before your tag. You're still a damn commie (socialist).
Liberal socialism is a socialist political philosophy that includes liberal principles within it. Liberal socialism does not have the goal of abolishing capitalism with a socialist economy; instead, it supports a mixed economy that includes both public and private property in capital goods.
it's Socialism but not Socialism.
It's socialism.
I'm not a..........Okay...Shhh
Remember Mr.T we aren't going to call each other radical names when it isn't true.
But think on how some groups will then handle it. Force/Violence. And the Corporations aren't going to listen to persuasion and no one will actually Boycott that crap. If Walmart did this are we going Boycott them? Nooo...
but not Socialism.
I think Right Winged nation has been here for at least a month. He vote for Amarican last month. Did he just not register for citizenship?
I know but, how did that start? Who said, "Oh let's just have them write their name on the line, that'l mean they agree to the document."
So does being a Bisexual man mean you are not classified as a man but a Bisexual man?
And to think we were on a roll with agreeing about stuff.
Socialism doesn't work! Cuba has prices levels and government enterprise and they only barely manage to survive because of the tourist industry.
Possibly, but unlikely. (and yes it is, it's how we do it most of the time). There is a built in market incentive not to irrationally discriminate, only to rationally discriminate.
Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. It's available on mises.org
.....Yes.
I don't want Socialism.....
People Discriminate based on beliefs. A xenophobe? Race Discrimination. Highly religious? Sexual Discrimination. Gender Superiority? Gender discrimination. Smart people? Production
I'll read.
Nope, he's not in the citizenship registry.
I'm not exactly celebrating yet, only 3 people have to change their votes or 3 more people have to vote to turn this thing around. I'm optimistic, though.
TTA, if you wish to continue this via tg we can. However, I'm astounded by your adherence to economic fallacy and insist you approach praxeology without your corrupt and flawed philosophy
Last I checked (which was, I believe, the Seat 4 or probably Seat 2 race), he was not a citizen.
He isn't. I told him to apply.
Yus. He should.
That's it Reagan you are just out of control.
^ But so are you Chris when Humpys in the room.......
Lol he switched his vote back to RRRG when he read that :P
Whatever it is you want, it's not freedom and it resembles socialism, or at least its actualized identity.
Yes they do. They did that in America based on race for a long time, but in that period between slavery and the 60's, would you believe it, the wages of African Americans grew.
Not withstanding the economic arguments, people have a right to the freedom of association that comes with property rights. You're a fascist if you disagree.
Good.
I saw. :(
wut
I'm joking with you man.lol
Joking with me! :(
I'm going to bed now. Good night.
Night Mien. May the angel of voting for me visit you in the night.
Remember to take ankha with you!
*tongue click* or naaahh
Better him than you.
Cuba sruggles due to the American led embargo.
Hello, fellow regionmates.
I have at last decided to stop fighting the system and admit that I am, in fact, center wing. Perhaps I am a leftist in American Standards, but I am quite a moderate. If you think that cheap healthcare is communist, then you ought to go out and read a book on socialism, written by a socialist, then come back and tell me that it's a socialist ideal. I simply call it common sense. If you want to go out and shoot your M16 in the middle of a city, then be my guest. Don't be surprised if a majority of the people call you insane. Yes, I support gun control, but only to secure the rights of life for the many. Why would anyone need a semiautomatic assault rifle if it isn't to kill? No, we should restrict those sorts of guns to active military personnel. Civilians should be able to arm themselves with pistols and hunting rifles, nothing more. We should also register all guns that legally enter the country so that we can investigate which guns enter whose hands. If all this seems to restrictive, then you should grow up and see the world in which we live.
In part yes but also because of the institutions
Ugh, Ankha is here?
Ankha, how do you manage to be unpopular in communist circles and in capitalist circles?
If you're rejected by the Nazis, then you'd better pack your bags. :P
Cuba struggles? This is news to me. From what I've known, they've been pretty well off ever since Chavez, Morales, and the Arabs pretty much gave them $$$ in return for training and trading.
I was unpopuar there because I told them what they didnt want to hear. I think m fine here thanks.
He has 6 votes...... hes not that unpopular, in fact hes meins favorite flavor.
My apologies. Cuba is an island paradise utopia and all arguments to the contrary are bourgeois imperialistic plots to demonize Castro's glorious revolution.
Fun fact, actually, Chris can never settle for one flavor! He usually gets Humpy and tops that off with another.
Your name is mat nit Chris, sorry.
Lamest comeback since you used" we were just ........hugging"
It's not that either, really. No nation is a paradise. I'm just saying that it's mooching off of other nations and it's not really struggling as badly as you think. ;)
They had some good trade with Mexico until quite recently.
I should be able to own anything I want, you fascist!
I am changing my vote, I am going to help the less fortunate.
From COLDR in the region of CFN in a concluding paragraph about Slavery's affect on the Norht.
"Instead of exerting importance over just one part of the country, slavery was vital for the United States as a whole, simply varying in effect from region to region. Starting with unpaid slave labor in the South, inexpensive cotton made its way to the North, inciting taxable trade and cheap manufacturing, and ultimately resulting in affordable prices and low taxes, as well as an increased ability to settle newly acquired territory. In this way, the institution of slavery generated an intoxicating cycle of greed, which used increasingly large amounts of exploitation to turn increasingly large profits. Even the most ardent supporters of abolitionism helped slavery thrive when they bought necessities like clothing. Slavery in the 1800s, except for being exploitative and racist, was similar to modern developments such as the internet. It became ingrained in the culture and economy of the United States, which is why it seemed vital to many aspects of life, and lasted for a long period of time, even in the face of widespread opposition."
Not sure if elaborate joke, or if you're coming out of the leftist closet
Are you serious?

LOL.Do you plan to go into exile ?
copy/paste fail. Bad day is coming.
Here's an interesting idea for y'all to think about: creating a huge map for the region, every nation claiming a spot on it and Board members representing a large geographical area. Nations within that area/landmass would be the constituents of certain Boardsmen, and could only vote in one Board election.
What do you guys think of that?
Well, why not, at least we should try.
interesting. Like reps.

Also, Pangea, that flag is so similar to CI's. I thought you were him for a second and got confused. That's how similar that flag is.
Agreed.
Wat.
You can also find [nation=short]Pangea Liberalis[/nation] at the nation [nation=short]Albul[/nation].
Those cops are assholes. The "permit" that he needs to practice free speech on the footpath is illegal under the First Amendment.
Hiya, I'm back. Sorry for the inactivity I was in D.C. to march in the National Memorial Day Parade.
To be fair, the land was privately owned. I don't agree with the cop, but it was the law. The cops were being words I can't repeat in polite company, but they were only doing there job.
Did you have fun?
Yessir. We were televised. Also, Playing Sousaphone in 90 degree heat for 3 hours is not fun.
I love DC in the spring time. I've only been in Spring and early January. What did you like the most.
The Art Museums and war memorials.
On what scientific evidence/statistics do you base having a low minimum wage in economic sense? And if you believe that the only way workers' wages can be raised is by price-fixing, then why don't you want the wage set at $50? Surely the "proletariat" will get a better deal? And if you believe that $20 or $50 is excessive, at what point is the minimum wage not excessive? How can you be sure of the lowest value of labour in every market?
Your logic is akin to that of many central planners. They hold the naive viewpoint that they can predict the actions and conditions of the market just by thinking of a number they see as "reasonable" enough.
What you're saying is that "Things are already expensive in Hawaii, so a 33% in the minimum wage won't make an impact." Putting a price floor at a certain level will only drive up the cost of goods even higher.
By this logic, everyone would be paid minimum wage in every country. Wage-rates are determined by the productivity of labour and the value of labour, i.e. more scarce labour such as quantum physicists, professors, chief executives, etc. will be valued more because there is less of it, so there's high demand for it and therefore employers are more willing to pay higher wages. This is a fundamental law of economics that applies to every situation. Stones are worthless because there are trillions of them and they can be found pretty much everywhere. Diamonds, on the other hand, can be worth thousands because they're so rare.
Historically, the greatest advances in wage-rates have been in a time of flexible labour markets and low taxes. Real wages increased by 40% in the 1920s, while they only rose by 13% in the 1930s. This demonstrates how ineffectual price-fixing is. In Britain, wages have started to decline since the introduction of our first national minimum wage law in 1997.
If you care about the poor, the low-skilled, minorities and the young, then you'd advocate abolition of the minimum wage. It would save employment, it would save capital and it would reduce poverty. Want to raise workers' wages? Advocate the abolition of corporation tax, which largely falls on workers. A study has shown that this would raise wages by an astonishing 13%. http://being-classical-liberal.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/corporate-taxation-and-economic-growth.html
I wasn't a big fan of the Gallery. I prefered the History museums. My favorite war memorial was Okinawa.
It was public property in front of the White House.
Did you go to the Holocaust Museum?
Welcome back, Hallo. I loved going to The Mall, but is there anything else in that city worth exploring?
All The Smithsonian Museums.
All the Art Museums were amazing.
Aye, but that's still in The Mall.
You definitely have to go Downtown. It has the quaintest little shops and taverns. But I liked Alexandria, that's where I stayed.
OMG I CRIED FOR DAYS. That's where I first saw Obama.
You saw him in person? Did you meet him?
The whole area in front of the White House is owned by the National Parks Department.
The air and Space Museum in Virginia. Also, Arlington Cemetery. Our School laid a wreath on the Tomb of the unknown soldier.
Isn't that owned by the National Parks Service, i.e. the Federal Government?
The Zoo is fun, also. I like Georgetown.
I loved Arlington. I was there when the cherry blossoms were wistfully drifting through the air. I went there with a congressional delegation, so I went to see a funeral, I didn't know the guy and I cried with his widow.
Sadly, they still reserve the right to enforce trespassing laws. But, those cops were being selective, and that was a dick move.
Anyone here watch Breaking Bad?
Yes, Why?
It's pretty awesome, isn't it? What season are you up to?
Proud to say that I have never once seen it.
Any of you like my new flag? ;)
That's a shame. It's an amazing show.
So this is our marching show.

You guys are good. Mine was pretty great too. You're talking to the best sax in the county back then.
Our 1st seat trumpet is the best in New England. We are the New England Champions, Currently. We are going to Nationals next year. Here is a clip from the parade. http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=af4fc912853fb3a5&sid=0BcNWjRq5ZsnXg
I thought you guys lived in Georgia.
Nope. Connecticut.
Conne-k-ti-cut
I have nothing to say with after reading the start of Economics in one lesson by Hazlitt....
Also after looking at Pev's new flag I must say I had quite a laugh.
I'll Connecti-cut you, you connecticunt.
Assembled with Dot's Region Saver.
