The same can be said for the U.S. as well. I like to refer to the U.S. Government as a "Corporatist Oligarchy"

CANADIANS! :D

I have little knowledge of how the Canadian government operates, but trust me, you guys have a more functional government than ours here in the Philippines. Our "government" happenings lately are more dramatic than cheap television soaps. (look up Janet Napoles if interested)

I'm just saying ignorance is bliss and you assumed I preferred being ignorant.

You are right, I apologize for assuming that.

Isn't there a bit of a rebellion in the Philippines?

So Egypt, and Libya never happened?

Sax, thanks! I would have gone for just Kingsland (The Queendom of Kingsland) but whoever had that country-name had too-recently deleted their account, and I couldn't wait to get back on NS :/

I'm still mad about the whole BC Rail thing... and the Northern-gateway Pipeline project... and the lack of support for poor little Palestine when they tried to become a country... and a few other things

Blood raven it has been proven that was the Muslim brotherhood who is a terrorist organization.

On the PH Rebellion,

Yes. Zamboanga was recently under siege by an armed militia seeking autonomy from the (crappy) Philippine Government. I can't blame them, especially with our poor separation of Church and State (the rebels were primarily Muslim).

The Blood Ravens wrote:So Egypt, and Libya never happened?

Touché.

So do you support the rebellion?

Nuverikstan wrote:Blood raven it has been proven that was the Muslim brotherhood who is a terrorist organization.

Is that why the people staged massive protests, and the military overthrew the Muslim brotherhood, and outlawed them?

Islam is a religion of war and you can't say its peaceful that's why I dont have Islamic friends because I don't trust them.

I support jazz music and the caressing of my ears...

Why do you support a Palestinian state? I don't support a Palestinian state, but I do support Palestinian equality. The Israelis are doing monstrous things :/

Well then blood the morsi supporters came out in favor of the brotherhood and started rioting and turned the country into another Sudan.

Because a minority opposing a secular coup totally invalidates my point.

Saxophonistan wrote:So do you support the rebellion?

I support independence and their rights; I don't support their chosen method of demonstration. :)

GUYS the conversation went from hunting and ancestry to this =)) Christ.

New Kingsland wrote:I support independence and their rights; I don't support their chosen method of demonstration. :)

That's agreeable. Islamists (People who support a theocratic government that i, not just people who are Islamic) tend to lean towards more... flamboyant... forms of political commentary

The Palestinians are descendants of the nephilim and the people god told them to kill that offer isn't up so I don't mind them not allowing the Palestinians to make there own state.

Jazz, classic rock and some occasional metal.

Theocratic governments shouldn't exist.

Hundermenschen wrote:Jazz, classic rock and some occasional metal.

Classic rock FTW.

Motley crew, and Guns n Roses are my favorite bands of all time.

Why do you think they are descendants of the Nephilim? Chances are they are more closely related to the Hebrews than the White European Jews in Israel

New Kingsland wrote:Theocratic governments shouldn't exist.

I agree completely. ( I meant to say that is, not that I)

OMG yes the cocaine loving heart jump starters!

I prefer Funk and Soul myself, but a little Journey and Bon Jovi can never hurt

the whole "we want to be a nation" thing is the last attempt at not being shelled by Israel without provocation

Saxophonistan wrote:I agree completely. ( I meant to say that is, not that I)

Haha I didn't quite understand that, earlier. I've always wanted to go to Canada. How long would I have to live there for my boyfriend and I to get married?

Um saxophone there mostly philistine that's what Palestine means.

3 State Alliance wrote:the whole "we want to be a nation" thing is the last attempt at not being shelled by Israel without provocation

let's face it though, even if Palestine was a nation, Israel would find a reason to shell and/or invade them

Hundermenschen wrote:OMG yes the cocaine loving heart jump starters!

I'm listening to Kickstart my Heart right now.

If I ever listened to this song while driving I would break the land speed record, and his jumping record at the same time.

New Kingsland wrote:Haha I didn't quite understand that, earlier. I've always wanted to go to Canada. How long would I have to live there for my boyfriend and I to get married?

I'm from the United States, where we love burgers more than equality, so you are asking the wrong person xD

Lol you noticed that?

Just like the Iranians are more likely to have Aryan ancestors then Germans (silly Hitler, if only he knew...)

not sure - haven't got to that part of my life yet

Google it?

I still find it baffling that most people think Jesus was white. The Sumerians were nearly wiped out by Aryans, and they chose to stay in the Middle East, but I guess history thinks of it as:

White people- Central Europe; Good

Brown people- Somewhere else; Bad

I remember reading a very interesting NatGeo article on the "Black Pharaohs" - literally some Nubians from what was then southern Egypt who married into the royal family and had their own dynasty...

It's more like

White-Smart

Black-Work

Arabs-Killers

And

Asians-Even Smarter

That is the worlds out look not mine except for the Arab part and Asian there really smart. But I'm getting will talk to ou guys tomorrow after church.

I remember that article, it was pretty interesting. I guess race was less of a dividing factor in the Ancient Middle-East

Ok, see you later Nuverik

speechless... nothing like a bit of good old fashioned hate for people who look different I suppose...

Saxophonistan wrote:I remember that article, it was pretty interesting. I guess race was less of a dividing factor in the Ancient Middle-East

you noticed that, eh?

and in Roman Egypt you had Black, White and Brown all living together in relative harmony

I agree, I just didn't say anything. Race has nothing to do with capability or ideology

All this talk about stereotypes is making me feel edgy, being a gender minority and all :/

3 State Alliance wrote:you noticed that, eh?

That and Slavery wasn't based on race. If you were a slave it was because you were unfortunate enough to be in debt or be an enemy of the state, not because "you look funny", as was the idea behind the European slave trade

Since I saw some borderline stuff earlier, let's make sure we not have any hate speech. Alright?

*takes off his Admin Hat*

New Kingsland wrote:All this talk about stereotypes is making me feel edgy, being a gender minority and all :/

I'm sure the majority of us here are pro-equality of anyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual-orientation. No need to feel edgy!

New Kingsland wrote:All this talk about stereotypes is making me feel edgy, being a gender minority and all :/

if you're anything like the last girl I dated you'll be able to kick my backside...

I don't think anyone would tolerate hate speech, something definitely would have been said in response. There was some border-line stuff as you said, but I think 3 and I tried to restore some sense of order :P

I thought King was male?

That sounds rather isolating

Aye.

As a note, though: Any flaming, baiting, spamming, hate-speech, or just all around dickery will get lovely bans. We're not that type of region.

That was in reply to myself, by the way. Sorry for the spam :P

That is respectable, I will proudly inform you of anything of the sort if it goes unnoticed

I used to get called a "Skinhead" thanks to my style of dress and love of short haircuts, so I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of that BS

I'm sorry for what I said I came back to say those are not my opionions but a lot of the world is like that. Like I said I'm very sorry and will not say stuff like that again. Good night or morning wherever you live.

thanks yo - just remember...

And its 9:01pm here

It's ok Nuverik, just remember: the internet is a sensitive place. On another note, it just ticked past 11pm in my neck of the woods

night ya'll, need to be crashed by 9:11 ttyl

(to soon?)

That one caught me off guard xD See you later

(According to most people - It's always too soon. I'm a little more easy-going than that though)

Yeah I know and that's why I'm sorry and it's a little past 11pm.

I'm easy going when it comes to as you call it hate speech or racism if someone calls me and sorry for anyone who does not like this a cracker I don't care it's free speech you can call me anything and I won't report you to the hate police. So yeah good night.

Central time, For the win

I am male :) Just invited the boyfriend to Spiritus! I'm quite excited.

By any chance, do people here play online RPGs?

Does anybody here play League of Legends? :))

I am from a particularly.. Urban...area, so I am used to "Cracka" and "the 'n' word" :P I choose not to let society label me, so I don't find it offensive either. It's beautiful, really, not living by other peoples standards. It's like a utopia of the mind

Just realised that this comment presupposes that you think Women are a gender minority =))

Well the more the merrier, as they say! I used to play some online games, but have been too busy to pick anything up other than nationstates, unfortunately

New Kingsland wrote:Just realised that this comment presupposes that you think Women are a gender minority =))

BUSTEDDDD!

Hi Spiritus nations! :D

Unless, of course, 3States just meant similarities in personality. I could very well be like the last girl he dated, gender aside :)

Hello, Wintermoot! I'm new here. Came in this morning (GMT+8) :)

I believe he was referring to the social implications of the word "minority", as women are generally seen as the weaker and less capable sex

Saxophonistan wrote:I believe he was referring to the social implications of the word "minority", as women are generally seen as the weaker and less capable sex

Are those views still commonly held?

Oh nice! Welcome to Spiritus. :)

How are you enjoying our region thus far?

It's great! The people are pretty interesting, and friendly too :)

New Kingsland wrote:Are those views still commonly held?

Unfortunately, they are more common than you think. Personally, I believe in equality of all people, but some still view men as masculine and females as feminine, which just isn't the case this day in age

My sentence was inconsistent, I apologize for that. I should have used male/female or men/women instead of men/females

I think the "Gender gap" isn't as wide as feminist groups would say, however. Feminists are rather radical

Saxophonistan wrote:My sentence was inconsistent, I apologize for that. I should have used male/female or men/women instead of men/females

Haha it's okay, I got the intent.

My dad, formerly homophobic alpha-male type, considered becoming a gay rights activist when I came out :)

New Kingsland wrote:It's great! The people are pretty interesting, and friendly too :)

Awesome! We're a pretty friendly lot here...I'm glad you're having a good time here. :)

Saxophonistan wrote:I think the "Gender gap" isn't as wide as feminist groups would say, however. Feminists are rather radical

Woop, don't generalize :) There are definitely radical feminists, but feminism is as diversified as the rest of the world. There are hardcore, supremacists, equalists, and everything in between. I was pretty surprised when I found out that some feminist groups are anti-abortion.

New Kingsland wrote:Haha it's okay, I got the intent.

that's awesome! I've seen to many stories of parents disowning their children after they came out. It's kind of discouraging

Hi Nightlocked :) Are YOU gay?
