Well good thing that I pray every day.

The road for us to be better is in front of us.

Well no, what you just said is unrelated to what you said in the Discord which was the bit I pointing to.

Like when you said that you "now know who are the people that want whats best for the region" and "ignore all the rest" or said that I was twisting your words because I took what you said and put it down again.

Normally, I'd even refrain from posting any of this here since I don't even want drama, but I'm kinda tired of these nonresponces and just mostly annoyed with how any critisism is either lumped in "You supported Humph" or "While I don't care :D"

Well actually you do love drama but that's all you :D

"I don't even like fire!" I shout as I stoke the fire blazing in a mantle covered with lit candles while my free hand juggles flaming batons.

Also, I'm on fire.

This is what I'm talking about, these non-responses are pointless, and the fact that your only point is "Well you like Drama" does nothing for actual debate, it just kinda squeezes it under thr rug, but the rug runs out of room sometime.

So, mind responding to the points here if you really want to ignore them in the Discord?

No Kal, I am not going to respond to anything. You can keep going on with this game while I count the good folks we lose because of you. And yes Merc is one of them.

Part of the duty of the citizen is to critize the government, and this is something people should know what with our election coming up.

I haven't mentioned it before because I like peace, but it's high time nonanswers are acknowledged as being just that.

My only positive thought about Eminem was his appearance on "The Interview"

I still have yet to find out how I got him to leave, even though I do not remember slighting him so greatly that he would want me gone from the region. It'd be interesting to see why that is, maybe a message someday could clear things up, because I'm frankly lost to it.

Well no, it's merely that neither I nor Sul wronged him.

Never had I tried to push him out, never did I turn his friends against him.

At most, it's because we argued, but even then I was hardly guilty seeing as I legit pushed for peace, so much so that the last message about it was in the spirit of Christmas.

Like I said, nonanswers do legit nothing.

Yeah I know you are a "great" guy but a little man when it comes down to your mistakes. Also I like how you and Sul defend one another, it's really romantic.

To my knowledge there was never lesser royalty. During the colonial period, as there is today there would have been a Governor-General who was the appointed representative of the Monarch who would reside in the Capital whilst the Monarch remained in their country of origin... in the case, The United Kingdom.

I'll have coal and water, thank you.

Australia: I've heard good things about it. Shane's from there, and he's pretty cool. Percyton also has pretty good diplomatic relations with Australia.

United Nations: I think it's a nice organization with good goals. Percyton has worked well with the UN in the past, though some UN members don't think we're a real country.

Trump's ban: Thomas released this statement on the ban. I pretty much agree with this:

"The State of Percyton is disappointed in the recent immigration and travel restrictions imposed by the United States and President Donald Trump. Percyton believes that these restrictions unfairly target a diverse group of people, with little justification for these draconian rules. In addition, Percyton believes the world should be open to refugees, and that refugees are among the world's most vulnerable people, not the world's most dangerous people. Percyton will continue to provide financial support to refugee organizations, in addition to accepting a small number of refugees as our Island's resources will allow.

Signed,

Thomas the Tank Engine, Foreign Minister of Percyton"

The market idea is still in progress and the rp system was discussed several of times with members of our community as we look forward having cross roleplayes with members of foreign regions as well. In attempts to strengthen our foreign participation and cooperation with foreign governments.

Australia is a pretty neat place. I've heard they have fire tornadoes. Man that'd be a legendary way to die by one of those.

The UN is too weak imo. The US does a better job at being the world ruler than the UN, which says a lot tbh bc America sucks at a majority of things these days, especially its foreign relations.

My ancestors were technically illegal immigrants who came to this land in 1620. But I mean I guess it's totally okay because they're white right? (It's not)

I only drink coffee when I feel like my life is totally falling apart because I hate the taste of coffee so much. Surprisingly I've only drunk it a couple times. Knowing myself, I would've thought it'd be more but maybe I'm not as dramatic as I thought so perhaps that's a good thing.

Australia: Nice country and nice people. It has some dangerous animals, but that doesn't justify Trump hanging up on their Prime Minister.

UN: I approve of their goals and purpose, but I wish they could be more effective sometimes.

Trump's ban: I disagree with it, as those countries don't appear to pose a threat to the U.S.: all the countries that actually have produced terrorists (Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc.) aren't on the list. Plus, the ban was executed horribly, with no consulting any of the relevant agencies beforehand, massive confusion and airports, and not giving clear guidelines on who was and was not included in the ban (ex: green card and visa holders). That's in addition to the idea that we should be accepting refugees instead of blocking them, and how we shouldn't be imposing sweeping immigration bans like this.

I decided to post this in support of Kal:

I support most of what he has said and his grievances against Latrovia and his administration. The majority of so-called "evilness" is yet another buzzword Lat seems to employ day-in day-out to disarm anyone who opposes him. His constant over-defensive nature only helps re-ignite conflicts. I by no means wish to personally attack him, a caution I have to put at the beginning of everything I say about my opinions on his presidency, and I have no personal qualm with him as an individual. But by no means does criticism that Kal has been giving out deserve the reaction it has gotten. Kal, as far as I know, has never been manipulative and much like Lat, has the best of the region at heart.

I'll just have some good ole Green Tea.

Australia: My Self Defense Instructor likes to use geography as an analogy in instruction, particularly in terms of defense. He often likes to remark that when we are deflecting a strike, we are rerouting it to either South Africa or Australia. Yesterday he commented that our aim is to make Australia even madder than Trump did the other day. :P

UN: A good organization with a good purpose, though they're woefully ineffective at what they do.

Trump's Ban: While the ban, if exercised in a certain way, could be implemented decently, Trump's administration went about it terribly. For one, it didn't even recognize Saudi Arabia, that has more of an impact on Sunni Terrorism than a lot of the nations on the ban. On top of that, it was exercised poorly, with certain people who should have never been targeted by the ban getting held at the airports and needing a follow up to actually overturn this. Then on top of that, had questioning constitutionality which has led to its suspension now. Like seriously, if we're going to have a ban on immigration from majority Muslim-countries, can we at least do it adequately? I mean, I still don't agree with it, but jeez.

Bonus: A few times a week. Because I'm well liked by my school's administration, they let me use the Keurig in the teacher's lounge. So I sneak a cup every now and then if I'm tired.

Not to mention a lot of the problems with terrorism we have now are homegrown, and while immigration can and sometimes does bring them into the country, many incidents are caused by people who adopted Jihaadism in their home country.

Bennett having been made a Baron), but it grew rather unpopular in the beginning half of the 20th Century.

As it stands, no Canadian peerage system exists and the recognition of Canadians given Britiah peerages holds no official weight. So, you may be a Canadian who is a Duke in the UK, but if you appear in the Canadian House of Commons there is no obligation to refer to you by your peerage title.

The Queen is our Head of State (not the Governer General, as is often said, who is simply our Vice Regal representative) and we have an official Act of Succession, but our recognition of the greater royal family as being nobility in Canada isn't official by any means.

Too bad. I think peerage could be useful in society. I'd want to be the Duc de Montreal! :p

America First. Britain First. France First. Everyone's Self First.

When we all put ourselves First, the First thing to fall apart is the world.

I fear that this rise of populism across the world will be seen by future generations as something foolish and reckless. This is what causes the decline of the West.
