That's comparable to saying all of Palestine should belong to Israel because Israel does the exact same thing.

That's my problem with considering it Russian.

Ill agree with the Israel part.....All im gonna say...this is getting hard

Yeah, no, that's a no-no for me.

I was once in an alliance that allowed for a supposedly equal vote. It ended with me leaving the alliance because some charges I brought against another member were overturned because he was the executive and his bestie had final judgement on the case. When I called for a vote to be passed on his fate (a trial by jury) the judge (executive's bestie) claimed he had final say and dismissed all of the evidence and claimed it to be circumstantial.

Ever since then I've been wary of working with other nations in a way that will not put me at an equal footing as them.

Let's leave the topic alone. What matters now is that I don't like Merkel-Reich and want her to get along with Putin better before "beefing up" the Bundeswehr.

I don't see why we can't have some sort of cooperative relations though. Being that I want my nation IC to be a trade empire in Asia, that means I'm going to have to cozy up to regional powers. Have y'all sent a rep to Dr. Sung's meeting? I'm going to continue that in a bit now that the semester is over.

Wait, we've got a Frog in the region? Have they not heard of Erbfeindschaft??

Anyway, I like Merkel. She's doing the best she can with the Euro. But it all falls on Greece, Spain, and Italy to change their fiscal policy to match Germany's so that the Euro can work again. Plus, she being part of the reason why Germany is the powerhouse of Europe and what not.

That's when you email the advertiser and say:

I did that once to an ad for a Muslim singles ad and it stopped showing up a while after that XD

Well I'll tell you what you daft piece of shít, you try having your nation being invaded twice in a few decades where each war leads to the germans going into your nation and killing millions, I dont care if we have to "steal" the entire dámn nation and subjugate its people for a thousand years, you would never let that happen again? no and neither would the Russians. Thats why we "stole" it, to keep germans in check. So if you think that its "german", youre absolutely wrong because we did dámn well steal it and its ours now.

Not a fan, to be honest. I once dated a Pakistani guy and he was insufferably clingy. He kinda turned me away from them.

I really like Eastern European guys and English guys. I once almost dated a Serbian guy, but then we went to different colleges.

You see, the thing is I wouldn't care that much, and I'd debate you civilly if I did. You guys here have just descended into complete chaos, and it's interesting to know it didn't really take that much to get it here.

As for Yeltsin, the drinking is what made him great! I think we can both come together over one thing though: F*ck Chechnya. Agreed?

Oh I would, but I have no problem debating civilly. I've been calm this entire time. Just because you and I disagree doesn't mean we can't have a civil debate. There are very few debates I get fired up in.

Especially now that the news leaked about their gay concentration camps, I'm all for Russia bombing them to submission. Not that gays would be treated much better under Putin's administration, but anything is better than concentration camps.

Yea no thats why i Read this Russia Insider Article about that .The Current leader is a Putin Favor but hes still causing probs like this , so Putins stuck in a Hard Spot . Oust the favored leader and start a Federal FSB investagation into the camps or leave it be and have the Region sent the message it can do what it wants .

THATS A NO either way.

I will never date a French guy. Never ever. I once heard a story from a friend of mine that dated a French guy where he wore leather all the time and never showered and that turned me away from them forever.

It shouldn't be a surprise but I also like Chinese guys.

I had a missed opportunity with an Acadian guy once. That's kind of French. His accent was so cute. And a missed opportunity with a Chinese guy. But we developed a stron friendship, so I can't be sad about that.

My track record on Russia is iffy, which is why you should probably never put me on a scale that says I like or dislike it.

When it comes down to it, Putin is better than Wahhabism and other forms of religious oppression, but I'd prefer the UK or Germany over Russia any day.

Add in some sore feelings about Germany losing a lot of its lands from two world wars (1 being extremely unfair via Treaty of Versailles and the other being self-inflicted but I still don't like it) and the approval of eastern Ukraine rejoining RF, and you've got a pretty spotty track record.

Well, in Indiana its hard to find any guys that aren't cracker-jack hicks. Seriously, Indiana is seriously lacking in the diversity department.

I once had a crush on a French foreign exchange student in my German class a couple years back (his accent was lovely), but at the time I was interested more in the Serbian guy.

The reason I say you shouldn't be surprised about liking Chinese guys is because I've got an unexplainable love for China. I love their family-oriented attitudes (I am really good friends with a guy from China, and he's really serious about family), mostly because I love a man that will treat me to a home cooked breakfast and loves to spend a lot of time with me.

Breaking News from the Social Province Sulania

In a landmark decision by the Senate, legislators have voted to change the provincial flag to the Republican Flag. Nationalists across the province are celebrating the massive victory for Sulanian Nationalism, as well as the greater step towards what seems to be an inevitable Independence Referendum in the coming weeks.

The decision carried out with 31 votes in favor of the flag change, and 19 in disfavor, with the Republicans swinging the vote in favor of the old flag, as well as 3 dissenters from the opposition coalition.

Local governments, as well as all provincial buildings, have now been mandated to carry out the flag change immediately in accordance with the recent senate vote.

No (gimme a link and I'll check it out!), but I have come across a new favorite, named Krynitsy. My favorites were once Smuglianka, Kalinka, and The Roads (with male lead), but Krynitsy blows them all out of the water. Well, maybe not The Roads, but it comes close.

Slowly. We still have a lot of it here in the US (which is why my bf wants to stay in the closet), and it'll be decades before we see less of "let's beat that man's head in for liking men" and more of "I don't give a damn".

If you mess with them, I raise the trade button with a crudely made "Press to set the world on fire" and slam down some melatonin. From there, there's like....a fifty percent chance my head slams down on the button where I get put to sleep :P
