History

Friedensreich wrote:You see, the thing about pre-Communist beliefs is that none of them work for me. That said, if I had to choose, I'd probably be Cromwellian.

Nah, Cromwell was a puritanical tyrant. James VII and his heirs were the rightful rulers of Britain, from the Scottish House of Stuart. Plus, they were Catholic and believed in the divine right of kings. So in my view, the Hanoverians were the usurpers. That's why I call the Jacobite uprisings the "uprisings" as opposed to "rebellions." Rebellion implies defying the rightful ruler. The Dutch dwarf and his successors were not the rightful rulers.

It's funny. They hate foreigners but are obsessed with a Dutch king. And they hate gays yet revere a king who was possibly gay himself.

But aye, he was an asshole. He completely f*cked the Scots over with the Darien scheme. It was all a plan to bring Scotland into the Union.

I have little knowledge of the Orange Order nor their links to Cromwell, all I know is they're a right wing Protestant fraternity. Then again old Ollie did do us a favour when he died and made way for based Charles II

The Orange Order are a right wing, bigoted organisation that hate anyone who is not white, straight, Protestant and British. They are obsessed with William of Orange, the Battle of the Boyne and the monarchy in general. Their whole schtick is that they are loyal to crown and country (the country being Britain, not Scotland, in their feeble minds.)

They have also threatened to become a terrorist organisation if Scotland becomes independent so they can "defend their British identity."

Considering they hate Catholics, sing anti-Catholic songs, march through Catholic areas to intimidate and upset people, get blind drunk, vandalise and disrespect public and private property, shout abuse at anyone who dares to walk across the path of their march, hurl abuse at Scottish nationalists, burn the saltire and do Nazi salutes - yes, they are tools.

I know you don't mean it this way, but whenever someone ask if x is a furry, I automatically read it as offensive and I'm not even one, kms. And if you think about it Peng, your nation is similar. This brings up a question, do people dress up as Penguins and do penguins dress up as people in your nation?

Weird and sexy beneath the rain

I see dazzling ghosts in the mud

Perhaps an alliance of non-human nations is in order?

I've heard of that railway. I would really like to ride on that railway one day, just to see the mountainous terrain, the rural landscape, and the small villages with their rice farms. It would be a really cool sight!

Even though I'm lapsed, I'm very upset by the marching of the Orange Order. They grind my home city to a halt every weekend during the summer. I hate them.

I think there should be a committee personally, maybe we could co-author a law to do so after the election is over?

Understandable, but I feel this may be the best we can do at the moment. The only alternative I could think of would be to have an electoral commission that excludes any current or running officeholders; the problem with that is that there's quite a bit of overlap between those who run for office, and those who would be interested in serving on the commission. I'd be all for a commission if it looked like we had enough impartial people to fill it.
