Random Mutations are a thing, however if you check the "full article," the article has either been taken down or has since been deleted from its host site. When you research the researcher in question, you'll find his only real claim to fame is this study. And on top of that, I can't find the actual parameters or procedures of these studies. Depending on how the studies were conducted, it's very possible for someone with an agenda to masquerade his desired results as actual scientific findings.

Family Research Council isn't scientific either; they're a social conservative advocacy group.

Hey, Jas. Someone tried to assassinate the King of Caledonia.

Not surprised. I imagine that's the case with a lot of studies of that nature. Hence why I said 'IF' that was the case.

Nuremgard wrote:Hey, Jas. Someone tried to assassinate the King of Caledonia.

Sorry to hear that. Prince Regent Jason is glad the King survived the attempt, and Jaslandian police authorities would be more than wiling to help find and capture any alleged assassins/conspirators should they be found within Jaslandian borders.

The King increased his security detail. Hopefully there wont be a repeat of the incident. It happened while His Majesty was in Hibernia so the authorities are assuming it's an attempted assassination from a nationalist group.

Ruclax, in the best of terms, was the sonuvabitch who ran MSRM, the previous region we left for after Valt went crazy in NGA, and had previously held Chancellorship for a day back in old CFN. Said Chancellorship only lasted a day when he tried to enact a civil conscription that didn't go well, then tried to pin it on some frat boys. MSRM-wise, he kicked out a guy called Merc, who we trusted agains Ru, then started going on a tangent forcing us to move here when his true colors came in.

I read but I barely do fiction these days. If I do, it's with audiobooks of Harry Potter. I mostly read non-fiction history books these days.

The author of those novels hates the games. But I also think he is bitter because he sold the rights to the games for really cheap and now they have been so successful.

Governments making a big deal out of a minor right trade-off for something huge.

What I mean by real freedom is something that the government has no legal right to regulate (for example, a constitution stating such), as opposed to an illusion of freedom, which the government allows its citizens, though ultimately reserves the right to have the final say.

Dude, try going through two dictators, political allegations, and a four month spree of insults by trolls with the MoJ remarking at one point that it's actually your fault (Though me and the guy made up after he realized there was a pattern to the "People Enter, Kal says something innocuous, New People proceed to flip out and insult Kal" style of events) and keep your political emotions alive. :p

Well the government has no right to regulate whether or not you kill yourself. Just an example off the top of my head. I mean, there's no government department watching you 24/7 to make sure you don't commit suicide, or to punish you for trying to kill yourself.

Or something less extreme, you can drink and smoke as much as you want. The government has no legal right to stop you. It can encourage you to change your habits though, e.g. putting taxes on booze and fags, putting pictures of the health effects of fags on their packets, or promoting anti-smoking ads.

The government does however, reserve the right to control your transportation and movement, ability or rather the legality of self defense, have the right to tax you and use the taxes on whatever they want without you having your individual say in it, and many more critical elements to life.

This is true but as a left winger, I believe there must be a state that exercises some control over its citizens' lives for there to be a civilised society. I am like Hobbes. I think humans are sh!tty by nature and so need a government to keep them in line.

I have an unorthodox sort of political thought, left-leaning libertarian. I believe that there should definitely be a government, though it should be minimal, covering only minimal aspects of life, mainly the safety, well-being, and protection of her own citizens from outside influence and exploitation from foreign corporations, though as little as possible in the sense of allowing the citizens to do as much as they can privately (not as part of a corporation or organization) to substitute a possible government organization. An example is: minimal police force along with an armed populace (though this government should provide universal education for all citizen on the safe handling of arms, you can see this in Switzerland where every single household bears arms, yet the country is at the bottom of the list of global national murder rates). Where the government has minimal legal capacity to interfere with your life, only having the ability to do so if someone's life is in direct danger, or for example: inherited diseases. Obviously this is a huge grey area of legality which is probably impossible to implement in modern countries which are so deeply ingrained in other structures, but hey, this website exists for people like us to dream about our perfect countries, eh?

Nuremgard wrote:Scotland had a vote on euthanasia but I was disappointed when Parliament voted against it.

Our governing Liberal Party introduced it after they won the 2015 election. What was interesting was that they devised a process so complex that the wide majority of sick and dying people wouldn't ever qualify for it. Our Senate, which is unelected and is known for being slow to reform and progress, sent it back with amendments to make it much more accessible.

The Liberals sent their Justice Minister to convince them that they have to pass the law as is and they essentially told her to shove it. It was glorious.

Personally I think that euthanasia should only be an option in very specific cases, limited allowance only to people who have terrible life threatening health issues, and perhaps to suicidal felons.

My political values are diametrically opposed to this way of thinking. I am a liberal and believe the government should stay out of people's private lives altogether. As long as what they do is consensual, then it's no business of the state's. But I do believe the government should provide essential public services such as universal education up to university level, universal healthcare, social security, public transport, law and order, defence, free childcare, free dentistry etc.

Obviously this would cost a lot of cash but I favour the Nordic model of governance and economics.

Opinions on Trudeau?

Nuremgard wrote:Opinions on Trudeau?

The current Trudeau? Never liked him. Grossly unqualified compared to many of his fellow Liberal caucus members who felt he was entitled to the premiership not because of his own accomplishments but because Canadians lool back on his father with rose coloured glasses.

He's botched the majority of his campaign promises and he's not even half way into his first term. His budget introduced deficits well beyond what he told the electorate, there's already a push to reset the entire Murdered and Missing Aboriginal Women and Girls Commission because of how poorly mishandled is has been, First Nations groups across the country have risen up to say that there is no difference between dealing with his government and any of its predecessors, and instead of increasing unity among the provinces he has had the complete opposite effect.

He's ingenuously developed a persona for being known for what he says rather than what he does. So, when he says that he's returning power to the provinces and then imposes a number of crucial unilateral policies from the federal level, people take no notice of the blatant lie he told. I just hope that people start to wake up before the next election, but I don't think Andrew Scheer is the guy to make it happen.

Grossly unqualified compared to many of his fellow Liberal caucus members who felt he was entitled to the premiership not because of his own accomplishments but because Canadians lool back on his father with rose coloured glasses.

He's botched the majority of his campaign promises and he's not even half way into his first term. His budget introduced deficits well beyond what he told the electorate, there's already a push to reset the entire Murdered and Missing Aboriginal Women and Girls Commission because of how poorly mishandled is has been, First Nations groups across the country have risen up to say that there is no difference between dealing with his government and any of its predecessors, and instead of increasing unity among the provinces he has had the complete opposite effect.

He's ingenuously developed a persona for being known for what he says rather than what he does. So, when he says that he's returning power to the provinces and then imposes a number of crucial unilateral policies from the federal level, people take no notice of the blatant lie he told. I just hope that people start to wake up before the next election, but I don't think Andrew Scheer is the guy to make it happen.

I feel the same way in regards to I hope people wake up to the incompetence and malice of the current Conservative government here in the UK but I fear it wont happen. Brits have such short memories. So Trudeau's dad was in politics? I've never been very easy with political dynasties among families. It's too aristocratic for my taste.

Hello everyone.

I'm thinking of claiming Afghanistan, but before I make any permanent decisions, could one of you guys just give me a little background on the regional roleplay? The year, the story, the current global state of affairs, etc

Pierre Elliot Trudeau was Prime Minister during the very late sixties to the 1980s, with a very short hiccup where the Progressive Conservatives took power for a spell. He'a widely rated one of Canada's greatest Prime Ministers, but this mostly centres around his "repatriating" Canada's Constitution from the United Kingdom. People have forgotten how much of an authoritarian he was.

He increased the Prime Minister's Office to a level of control it has never been able to shake since, he regularly praised dictatorial governments, and he was notorious for overruling his Party, Caucus and Cabinet. If he was in a Caucus meeting and his preferred option was in the minority, he'd say stuff like, "It's 144 yeas and 46 nays, and the nays have it".

Wow, that is a long tenure in office. Forgive my ignorance but what does repatriating the constitution from the UK mean exactly? And it sounds like both Canada and Britain's premierships have become more presidential in recent times. Prime Ministers are supposed to be first among equals.

The year is 2018ish. We use Modern Tech, specifically we are in and around 2016-2017. Right now it looks like Friedensreich, and Vista Major may be going to war, but they are working it out. I am sure there is more, but that is the big one right now I think.

It would take me too long to explain why I have an extensive distaste for him and his party.

You would have to take my word for me disliking him for many reasons which do not involve blind identity-politics-driven hate.

In short, I think he is incompetent, he constantly and consistently shows to be incompetent, and he is cocky while being incompetent, which amplifies my disdain for that plebe.

All you have to do to see his incompetence and cockiness on a surface level without wanting to learn in-depth about his incompetence, all you must do is simply search any video of a House of Commons debate, a quick example is:

So you're both not fans then. What is your opinion on the monarchy? If I'm correct, I think Con is fine with keeping auld Lizzie but says he wouldn't mind abolishing it after her death.

Also, can someone please direct me to the available land on the map? The current format is far too difficult to identify land plots, and the availability of them.

Just kinda have to look at the number on the map, then look at the numbers below the map and see if it's empty.

I don't care for the monarchy simply because I am a filthy foreigner. However because I consider myself acclimatized here, I fully respect the monarch ties.

Mind you, I'm not a staunch conservative as the CPC stands right now. I might have been a huge CPC supporter if Maxime Bernier won the party leadership however, but not Scheer.

The thing is, it's a huge pain to try to find the numbers on the map, due to the coloration of the numbers mixed with the plot colors, and due to the map being a huge cluttered jumble of borders.

I'm a staunch republican. And that's a British style one with a small r, not an American one with a big R!
