Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
A little? A lot.
But don't you realize that nobody's opinions matter on the internet?
I know but I always get heated in political arguments.
Saint William The Horrid
For me, I have an urge to talk about politics on the internet, but I hate having to talk about it in RL. Maybe it's just that a lot of the people here are political junkies.
Nuremgard, Yukona
Well I'm gonna' take a break from it and have dinner.

I'm so fickle. I keep changing Shazria between a Kingdom and an Empire.
Russkov Soviet, Axeldonia
Can you give me 10 dollars for every time you have mentioned that you're fickle?
Yukona
Same here, they always try to suppress me when I join conversations, they don't want too much wrongthink leaking out. lol
Nuremgard
Nope. I don't have any dollars.
"Maybe because you're spitting bile and people don't want to get involved, I'm done dealing with this, you have been acting like an angry child I will not put up it anymore."
"We're already know this, we don't like it too, we're getting sick of hearing you preach at this point. Honestly you are doing serious damage to the image of the region all just because you are being a hot head and are not taking responsibility for what you say, and more people are annoyed at you at this point."
"You do know you can send telegrams to everyone right, so you can still have everyone see you comments , I'm not trying to stop people from being offended, I'm trying to stop you acting like a dick, you can say what you want but there's point where people don't want to hear how much you hate muslims"
Saint William The Horrid
Whaaa
That's what someone from Horrid's region has said about him constantly ranting about Islam and Muslims. He isn't being suppressed; he's being criticized by the people in his own region who are tired of his Islamophobia.
Axeldonia
Who said all this and to who?
Axeldonia
Never mind. This answered my question.
Axeldonia, Gualimole
Now hang on right there.
Where's Cesorion's birthday?
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
It's your birthday today? Happy birthday!
Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Cesorion
Actually, the government is actively trying to keep me FROM speaking my mind, along with other people with similar views. They are trying to keep certain view points private and not in the RMB. I find it SJWish.
Thank you
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
How many years have you been on the planet now?
Cesorion
14
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Saint William The Horrid
You're only 14?!
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona, Cesorion
Apparently
Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
Congratulations on your birthday, that's pretty cool!
Penguania And Antarctica, Cesorion
Three things.
1) I am shocked by how young you are.
2) You are very articulate for a 14 year old.
3) I now feel like I should regulate my language in future.
Penguania And Antarctica
1) No comment
2) Thank you. Tbh, I'm quite smarter that average 14 year olds
3 why?
Thanks
Penguania And Antarctica
Because you're 14 lol
Penguania And Antarctica, Cesorion
No worries. Seen much worse
Penguania And Antarctica
Aww. This makes me sad. Kids don't have any innocence these days.
Penguania And Antarctica, Cesorion
I hope so, but not in my lifetime while Scotland remains part of the UK.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia
Kinda true
Nuremgard
You think Scotland leaving would be the catalyst for Welsh indy?
Ah well. Hope you had a good day regardless.

I hate spring
Why?
Same. All the insects start coming out which means whenever I open my windows, my house gets invaded by bees, wasps and flies.
My mum had a wasp in her bathroom the other day. I swear to God it must have been a queen. The bitch was huge and she refused to die no matter how much she was sprayed and stomped.
Au Minbo
Because it is either rainy and wet, or it's snowing like it is now. All of this week was a fairly nice 50 F outside, now we get snow and sleet.
It's not like that where I live. It's usually rainy during the very beginning of the year where I live, and it is around this time where the weather becomes pretty hospitable.
From what I have seen, your posts have never been suppressed.
Saint William The Horrid
Early spring is usually still winter for us, then mid to late spring is "mud season" where driving on dirt roads is nearly impossible. We were in the midst of mud season but now we are expecting quite a few inches of snow over the weekend.
For where I live, early spring is the ideal spring that everyone likes to imagine, while late spring is basically the same thing as summer.
Oh, I see where the misunderstanding is then, I should have been a bit more clear. They are suppressing speech by demanding people with certain view points to keep their views spoken outside the RMB, while certain other viewpoints are allowed. My region is a democracy, with free speech guaranteed in the constitution, so you can see where the issue is. Whether you actually agree with these views in particular or not is besides the point.
And have they tried to enforce their demands? If not, then your region's free speech policy has not been violated. And BTW, the mods don't care if your region guarantees free speech or not. Your region's government is nothing more but roleplay to them. It holds no actual power in the grand scheme of things.
Axeldonia
What even is summer :p
[spoiler]Look, Im the Secretary of State, the damn Secretary of State, I say, and even I know how to make tea properly, complains your elderly Secretary of State, pointing to the desk nameplate that says Secretary of State. The problem with young people today, well, besides being constantly glued to their Pear Phones, is that they dont know how to slow down and take their time. We should make tea-making and kitchen skills a part of the national curriculum, and encourage all those teenagers and twenty-somethings to stop rushing around, and to appreciate a proper tea service.[/spoiler]
Tea-making skills? A tea service? What is this? England crossed with Japan? I subsidised coffee growers instead.

It's not your region!
The warmest, and usually driest, part of the year. It usually occurs somewhere in the middle of the year, but when it occurs and ends can depend on your region's climate.
Nuremgard
Oh, I'm definitely aware of that last part. And I suppose you're right about the beginning, I haven't seen it physically enforced, so I'm hoping that it is more of just a policy that is encouraged but not enforced. Anyways, I'm not looking for trouble, just a conversation. I really like my new region and its community.
It's the region I'm in, and I'm a citizen of it, so in that way it is my region. It's not a region I own, but I'm part of it and am happy to be a citizen.
If only summer would get here sooner. Nothing more fun than kayaking out to the middle of a lake and eating lunch then goin back
When you're openly inciting hatred against a certain group of people, you are going to see that people don't want you to spout such bile. How old are you, BTW? I had the exact same problem you currently do when I was around 15.
Axeldonia
Thankfully you grew out of your teenage edginess.
Axeldonia
I really don't like the summer. It's too warm in southern California when summer comes forth.
Axeldonia
You should consider doing that too.
Nuremgard
I'm all for free speech and people speaking their mind, even if it's against me. I speak my views and they speak theirs, completely fair. That's the way I think it should be at least, free speech should apply to all. But I am 17, I actually used to be a standard Libertarian who was pretty socially liberal, my views changed. I always keep my sources wide open, I look through the major news and the independent news, across the political spectrum, I read a lot of different view points.
Oh, that was a legit burn. You wee c*nt.
Axeldonia, Gualimole
At least you're mature enough to accept it.
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
-Karl Popper
Nuremgard, Axeldonia
But according to the alt-right, wanting to exterminate Jews is a legitimate political opinion.
Axeldonia
And anyone who says otherwise is either in on the Jewish conspiracy or is afraid of being proven wrong.
/s
The fact of the matter is that some opinions are not legitimate and should not be brought up so as to not give the ridiculous a platform. Unfortunately, many "classical liberals" don't understand that.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia
I'm always very suspicious of people who are too quick to jump to the far-right's defence and claim they do it out of free speech, not because they agree with them.
Axeldonia
I'm tired of how people these days care about the right to have certain opinions instead of caring about the substance of these certain opinions.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Yukona
Yeah. I dislike the "all opinions deserve respect" thing. I mean, it is my opinion that I should have been born beautiful and rich but that doesn't mean diddly squat.
I also dislike the "you're the real fascist because you're trying to silence the opinions of fascists."
Axeldonia
But if you were born beautiful and rich, then you wouldn't be the angry Scot that we all love today.
The only people who say that are those who know diddly squat about what fascism actually is.
Nuremgard, Axeldonia
But if I was born beautiful and rich, you wouldn't need to put up with my angry FREEDOM rants.
Even fascists don't know what fascism is. It varies from country to country and historians still debate its aspects to this day, and argue over what regimes were fascist and which ones weren't.
Axeldonia, Gualimole
Fair point.
Another fair point.
Nuremgard
Speaking of fascism, I bought an audiobook on the Third Reich last night.
Gualimole
I was talking to NWA!
This poll is Seacist.
No, you.
I didn't know about it. Pls forgive me. :(
Happy 14th Birthday!!
Jaslandia, Cesorion
Wait a minute. Ces was 13 when I first met him? This is just weird.
Penguania And Antarctica
We have to make sure that this region is squeaky clean for people like Ces.

Sealand is the best country.

No, Molossia is the best country.

AGREE
basically, i'm shook af rn
It absolutely is. I would never picture Wales leaving before Scotland.
Nuremgard
Now, where's the infant here?

Jaslandia, Vista Major, Mercunova, Yukona
Perhaps Scotland first, then Northern Ireland, then Wales.
And we were more degenerate then than now! Oh, won't somebody please think of the children?
Vista Major
I was (insert insulting number here) when I joined NS

I'm not sure NI would leave first unless we're talking generations in the future when the demographics have changed as they're predicted to.

FE GODWN NI ETO!!!
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
My logic was that if Scotland leaves, then the political entity of Great Britain would no longer exist, so what would unionists in Northern Ireland feel loyal to? England? Many in Northern Ireland have Scottish roots. Their Britishness is wrapped up in the Union and to a lesser extent their Protestantism (both NI and Scotland are Presbyterian.)
I imagine that if NI ever does join the Republic, many disaffected unionists will move to Scotland in their last ditch attempt to save what remains of the Union.
Axeldonia, Gualimole
Unionists seem to (or at least used to) have a strong loyalty to the monarchy which might play a big part in things. But I guess it comes down to whether people feel culturally or religiously closer to the UK and how that will change in coming years with the decline of organised religion.
Nuremgard
Being attached to the UK or a unionist is not generally or really attributed and synchronous with religion.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Agreed. It's largely political these days, with identity playing a big part. Being British and supporting the monarchy etc. Being ruled from Westminster is a big part of that.
I was referring mostly to Northern Ireland, where that aspect of someone's identity has always been a massive part of which 'side' they're on.
I think the role of religion has diminished in that respect. Obviously there are still sectarian hardliners on both sides but I think they're a minority. Same with in Scotland. I remember I had a friend in college who voted No in the independence referendum. Some of her family accused her of "not being a true Catholic" because she voted No. It was completely nonsensical but I think people like that are generally a minority.
Yukona
Yes you're absolutely right that it has diminished, but you wouldn't really get Catholics in NI describing themselves as unionists even if they supported staying. Religion and background will always play a role there in how people identify themselves politically, regardless of how irreligious the society becomes.
Nuremgard
I've heard of Catholics who support staying in the UK being referred to as soft unionists or economic unionists. I think the status quo was fine for most people. Nationalists got de facto unification because of how seamless the border was and unionists got Westminster rule because Northern Ireland was still part of the UK.
It also helps a great deal that people in Northern Ireland can hold British and/or Irish citizenship and identify as whatever they prefer.
Anybody know a nation who is also an issues editor?
Both of you are wrong: the Conch Republic is the best country

Good Morning all! Just got back from Iraq for a months vacation so hoping to be more active over the next 30 days :) Glad to see our Confederacy is doing so well!

How was Iraq? I haven't been there since I was five.
