So, like, AgeID totally isn't a privacy violation, y'all.

Thank God I don't live in the UK. Even if the data is truly secure, I'd rather not there be a database out there which logs every time I watch some naughty stuff. At least from my perspective, porn is supposed to be a private thing.

Plus, how exactly would this system verify if a person if over 18? Credit card information is obviously a bad idea, but even something like a driver's license or a national ID I wouldn't feel comfortable giving out. Again, even if such a database of IDs was completely secure, I wouldn't want a porn site to have any personal information about me, nor do I think such sites need that information unless I'm signing up for a membership (which I am not planning to do).

Gotta' love their hypocrisy. The establishment, including Parliament, is rife with child abuse but they'd rather restrict consensual adult material viewed by adults.

To be fair New Labour is the same as the Conservatives; thankfully, the Corbynites are becoming the dominant faction in Labour by far in recent years.

And politicians are almost always hypocritical cvnts bent on legislating morality.

I used to really like Corbyn and sympathise with him a great deal. Felt sorry for him because the media monstered him. I even fleetingly considered voting Labour at the 2017 election and even though I voted SNP, I was heavily rooting for a Labour victory at the UK-level.

But I am indifferent to him now. Would still rather have him in charge than the Thatcher wannabe though.

When I was younger I had hair like a Targaryen. So brightly blond it was white/silvery. But unfortunately, as I've aged, my hair has gotten so dark now to the point it doesn't even really look blond anymore. :(

Personally I like that he is at least trying to stay true to traditional Labour policies instead of the neoliberal drivel that the Blairites and Third Wayers supported.

The fact that people bleat about Labour being socialist is astonishing. It began as a socialist party. And the whole "Corbyn is a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist psycho" annoys me so much. He is a run of the mill social democrat. This Marxist BS is Conservative hysteria and idiocy.

I heard about the shooting in Parkland, Florida earlier. It's always terrible when people cause harm to schools of all places, where children come to learn and become better people. I wish people didn't do these horrible shootings. On behalf of the State of Percyton, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

- 1998 – An oil tanker train collides with a freight train in Yaoundé, Cameroon, spilling fuel oil. One person scavenging the oil created a massive explosion which kills 120.

How awful! 120 is a lot of people! Still, it goes to show that you need to be careful around derailed trains, especially ones carrying fuel.

Edward: Indeed. But, to be fair, I've read up on this accident. Cameroon is a very poor country, so the people there probably had very little money. Oil is of course a valuable resource, so people could get quite a bit of money from selling it. I imagine many of the people collecting oil were hoping to use the money from the sale of that oil to feed their families, or to pay for clothes for their children. On the other hand, the explosion only happened because someone dropped a cigarette near the derailed tankers, so not everyone involved was justified in their actions.

Gordon: What an idiot! I get this a poor country, and the people there don't have a lot of education, but it should go without saying that flammable and fire-related things like cigarettes should be kept away from oil! And because of one person's stupidity, 120 are dead! I at least hope the guy who started it also died in the explosion, as that would be a sign that there's some justice in the world.

Edward: That seems a bit harsh, Gordon. It was a mistake; a very big mistake, but a mistake nonetheless, and they might not have known better. Does that really call for wishing death on someone?

Gordon: Pah! Not only are you an old steampot in need of preservation, but you're a softie too, Edward.

Edward: Come on Gordon, the 'old' and 'preservation' remarks were uncalled for.

Gordon: It's true, isn't?

Edward: I may be old, but I can be just as useful as you!

Gordon: Useful!?! You're about as useful as--

Percy: Uh, guys, weren't we discussing a train accident and explosion in Cameroon.

Gordon: Oh yes, yes. Terrible what happened there.

Edward: Yes, quite.

Gordon: Bah! Edward has had his victories, yes, but that doesn't change the facts: Edward is old, and he's not as strong as the big engines like me and Henry. He's lucky to be in service at all; for a few months in 1923, he didn't go out or do any work at all because the Driver wouldn't pick him. Why would he pick a weak and old engine like Edward, when he could pick a new (at least back then) and strong engine like me? And when the Driver did take Edward out, it was only out of pity.

Edward: But I did come out eventually, and ever since, my Drivers and Firemen have always been impressed by my reliability and good handling.

Gordon: Bah! Reliability and good handling are all well and good, but they're pointless without speed and strength! That's why I pull the Express.

Edward: You're just saying that because you aren't so reliable yourself.

This issue choice seems so pertinent to today's political climate in the UK.

“Could somebody please explain to me why a few unelected codgers in black robes are allowed to dictate public policy?” rants Kathleen Reed, the infuriated MP whose bill was overturned by the decision. “Judges are supposed to enforce the law, not legislate from the bench. This is a judicial putsch! A threat to British democracy! Tyranny! Parliament was elected by the people of Imperial Great Britain and Ireland and so the only checks to our power should come at the next election, when voters can decide for themselves whether they approve of our policies or not.”

Mother Theresa: Undecided. I've heard the criticisms leveled at her by Christopher Hitchens and others, but I still think she did at least some good.

Bonus: Dear Orveleca,

You broke many NS rules, you definitely weren't the most family-friendly person here, and even I think you went too far sometimes, but you were still a cool dude who cared about this region and the people in it. Things were certainly more interesting when you were around, and I can only imagine how you'd react to this region now ("Talking trains? Anthropomorphic horses? What the h*ll was put in the water while I was gone?" is probably close to how you'd react). Whatever you're up to now, I hope you're doing a good job of it!

Steak and cream soda pour moi.

Cthulhu is the one true God of this world. Phaghtn! Ia! Ia!

I really despise Lady Bird, and wish it wins nothing. It is an overrated pile of steaming dog crap, anchored by great performances by great actors. Nothing is special about the screenplay or direction.

She was, like. A nun.

Dear Orveleca,

I miss your snark and the sparkle you brought to NS. I wish you hadn't been an asshole and gotten DOS'd.

Yep, I remember those old folks too. There was also UAL, GF (though there seemed to be more coups when he was around... I'm sure it's just a coincidence /sarc), Silver (sometimes), RF, Arch, Awesomeness, and a few others I may be forgetting. But, while the old generation is gone, at least the new generation is eager and promising.

Vaguely. Although Dalek got his account restored not long after, didn't he? Not sure if I'm thinking of the same instance, and Dalek Paradigm still exists as an account last I checked, so something must have changed.

Welcome to the CoFN Comrade! My name is Aleksander D. Coltsov and I am the current Premier of the Equestrian Union. We are a patriotic nation of super-soldier anthropomorphic equines, but are very peaceful. I wish you the best in this region, but tread lightly during your first week here. While we don't ban near as much as other regions, there are ways to get on our bad side.

I'll have my usual coal and water.

Cthulhu: I don't think I've ever heard of that. How would you even pronounce that? Su-hulu? See-thule-hugh? Su-thoo-hugh?

2018 Academy Awards: I haven't watched most of them, but I did see Coco and thought it was pretty good, so I hope that one wins.

Mother Theresa: She seemed like a very nice and helpful lady, from what I've heard about her.

Bonus: I know he just CTE'ed, but...

Dear Bax,

Thanks for everything. You and everyone else were very kind to me when I became active here and posted on the RMB, and you were the one who offered to put me on the regional map for the first time. Thank you! I enjoyed sharing a region with you, and wherever you are, I hope you're happy and well!

ALERT TO ALL COFN CHANNELS!

I am just broadcasting a warning prior to me going to sleep. I will be performing a couple of nuclear weapons test in the Urals in a few days. I have looked into the 1962 9K52 Luna-M from the Fomer-USSR circa 1962. I've decided to modernize/improve on it. The system which will be reclassified as the Luna-ST, since my wife is named Luna as well, will be undergoing trials and a potential nuclear device delivery.

Thank you for your time,
