Nah, I get I might be coming off as eager to verbally spar, but really I'm just quite passionate about the subject and like talking about it.

In reference to what you said about 'being stuck' with the islanders, if I may just offer some unsolicited input - I think that frames it badly right from the offset, which doesn't mean it is inherently negative to have the islanders. They are British citizens and my compatriots, and I would defend them and their (our) territory, just as I would anybody else in my country. I don't think it's so much as a consequence of having an empire but just the way history has turned out - people did sh*tty things back in the day, thankfully we've developed our society much further now, but we are where we are and rights are rights.

The unicorn is a beautiful, wild and mysterious animal, just like the country she represents.

Badgers! They live in collectives underground in dens and share their food and are often hunted by rich people for sport.

I absolutely do. I'm joining a kinda quasi-army reserves (and after that going into RN reserves) thing next year and I'm really looking forward to getting fit and getting my house in order, I also think having that kind of military experience is important, character building and enriching. My degree is geared towards working in defence and I think if I'm going to be responsible for that kind of stuff, I need to be able to at least try to comprehend what I'm putting people through/causing. The integrity of my country, culture and the values we stand for is something I like to think I'd lay my life down for, if chance necessitated it. Whether or not I'd actually do it depends on my courage, selflessness and devotion to my principles, but that's something to work on and think about.

Most every election in Russia is filled with only unelectable people alongside Putin. I reckon we'll keep seeing a future of him as Russia's leader alongside his bootybuddy that he keeps switching off with. We'll also likely see a continue of his unified war on the west with him.

This is a grim future for everyone.

India is a country in Southern Asia that had elections a few years ago that led to political domination by Indian nationalists and conservatives in the country. Has anything major happened in the country recently?

Brats and Monster my good man. I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

On the topic of India.... Come on, the idea that it's going to be a world superpower in the coming decades is a joke at this point. It is mired in corruption, religious and ethnic tensions, and has abysmal living conditions and literacy rates. Plus, let us not forget that it has the caste system, which is kinda blocking the majority of social mobility that liberalism brings.

Comedians.... Love them. Satirists, you see, are the best kinds of political commentators. Nothing catches your attention better than a good bit of satire at your expense. Steven Crowder is my favorite by far, with Stephen Colbert as a second.

Parks.... Indiana has very few interesting parks, so I can't really say anything.

Now, to my favorite question:

If your answer is anything other than the mandatory denuclearization and demilitarization of the nations of the world, you're doing something wrong as dictator of the world. But really, the best thing you can do is end the absurd fiat currencies that have dominated the world, and bring the world back onto some standard- silver, gold, coke, it doesn't really matter. The majority of most economic headaches can be solved by taking a government's power to print their way out of their ridiculous borrowing.

Ooooh, and mandatory opium pills. Y'all ever see We Happy Few playthroughs? Yeah, something like that. Mandatory happy pills. I want to stay in power for a very long time, right? A complacent populace is a passive and harmless populace.

On the topic of India.... Come on, the idea that it's going to be a world superpower in the coming decades is a joke at this point. It is mired in corruption, religious and ethnic tensions, and has abysmal living conditions and literacy rates. Plus, let us not forget that it has the caste system, which is kinda blocking the majority of social mobility that liberalism brings.

Comedians.... Love them. Satirists, you see, are the best kinds of political commentators. Nothing catches your attention better than a good bit of satire at your expense. Steven Crowder is my favorite by far, with Stephen Colbert as a second.

Parks.... Indiana has very few interesting parks, so I can't really say anything.

Now, to my favorite question:

If your answer is anything other than the mandatory denuclearization and demilitarization of the nations of the world, you're doing something wrong as dictator of the world. But really, the best thing you can do is end the absurd fiat currencies that have dominated the world, and bring the world back onto some standard- silver, gold, coke, it doesn't really matter. The majority of most economic headaches can be solved by taking a government's power to print their way out of their ridiculous borrowing.

Ooooh, and mandatory opium pills. Y'all ever see We Happy Few playthroughs? Yeah, something like that. Mandatory happy pills. I want to stay in power for a very long time, right? A complacent populace is a passive and harmless populace.

Which is it, Fried?!

To whomever has Role Granting authority, could the roles on our WFE be organized, please? I really don't care about being at the bottom, but for the sake of love and humanity can we have the Chancellor listed first (after the Founder and WA delegate, of course), followed by the Vice Chancellor, followed by the Ministers (with the exception of Peng- I know you can't move the WA delegate), and with the Supreme Court Justices grouped together?

That would be me. If I forget again, it'd be a good idea to either TG me or mention me. I don't really check the RMB all that much otherwise.
