I have literally walked away from the RMB for an hour, a single freakin hour and were trading body parts (anybody got a spare brain stem?) and sewing our shattered hopes emotions and dreams back together under the bed...Pass the needle lol :'(

Guess who just received a summons for Jury Duty again. Guess. It starts with a T, and ends with an A.
Penguania And Antarctica, Humpheria Major
I think I've seen one of those before; Thomas once ended up speeding along the track like a rocket after the jet engine he was pulling got turned on.

Tell them to excuse you as you're a Trump voter and not of sufficient intelligence to sit upon the jury. ;)

Or also a Hillarybot. Basically someone that didn't support Bernie in the primaries.
Oooh you see that would work, except every county in the state went Trump, and it would be kinda hard for them to deny all of us.
It seems the administration of justice will come to a standstill in the United States then.
Jaslandia, Tserra
Your country (assuming you're American) is more f*cked than a whore on a Saturday night.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Ah I know. I've been aware of this tragic reality for the past several years. I just underestimated it until this past election.
Nuremgard, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
Yeah. No offence to you personally. I knew America was thick but the election proved just how dense your country really is.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania
Lmao none taken. I'm personally ashamed of how retarded my fellow citizens are. I live in Idiot America.
Nuremgard
It's okay. I live in Idiot Britain. I feel your pain.
So, there you have it. The US is no more fvcked than it usually is. :P
Nuremgard, Jaslandia
More f*cked than your bf after you have a political row with him. :P
Tommy Lasorda?
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
So, I've asked around the justice department and no one knows about any investigation.
Like, we have a absent MoJ, the CJ [I]just[/I] came back and not one person who I've spoken to from the Supreme Court knows, Unf even expected me to know because he asked me.
So is there one going on or not?
Nuremgard
I remember that. I gotta admit, it was nice to see Gordon embarrassed and taken down a peg; a prideful and boastful engine like him certainly had it coming.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Okay, I've been wanting to say this for a long time and I've kept quiet because I thought it was the proper thing to do. But this is the last straw and I'm finally going to say what I've been thinking for what literally amounts to weeks now. Because I'm boiling over at this point and this really, really needs to be addressed before the very fabric of our region starts to unravel. When are you going to remove Holiday from your name?
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
I wouldn't talk about pride and boastfulness if I were you, James. You aren't exactly an exemplar of humility yourself.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Thank you, Cont! I was thinking about that, but I'm glad someone was brave enough to finally say it. I tip my hat to you!
Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
I honestly only noticed it two days ago.
I wanted to see how long it would be until people noticed.
I suppose that's only 68 days of being hidden :P

Everyday is a wonderful day to be jolly and gay in the mind of Kal-a-ron.
Vista Major, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
Everyone lives life in fear of the emotional void that they try to cram closed by pretending that every day is a day to be merry.
Without these holidays, people would slump against buildings nationwide, not crying only from their severely repressed emotions. :D
As for caring, I very much do!, just ask Tim, he'll tell you all about how I love him :P

Right, Kal said in a roundabout way that I am not a good choice.
So, you are right I guess.

I thought you said you were not actually running. If you are actually running, then my mistake.

Feel good. Exam went well despite the fact that I didn't got the chance to study for it.
So I hope the result will confirm my feeling.
Brightened my mood quite a lot.
How about you?
(Sorry for the previous post btw. Had a bad morning. )
Jaslandia
No problem buddy, we all get those every so often, you know?
Here's hoping your exam went well, too.
I'm doing good, still bothered about yesterday, but hopeful that today can sort it all out.
Penguania And Antarctica
Quick question and just a single answer with no explanation and just one of the given answers.
McDonald's or Burger King?
The fact that you don't accept long-winded answers hurts me.
BK if you gotta choose a fastfood place.
Penguania And Antarctica
Sorry that I hurt you. And thanks for your answer.
Well, if someone asked me a question I mostly tend to give long answers. I just don't like to receive long answers. :p

Hello... wish we voted for ministers still

A woman has split up with her husband of 22 years because he voted for Trump. Truly a divided nation.
Ludania, The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Magnatronia
Good for her!
Nuremgard, The Royal Republic Of Kumania
I can understand why she did it. I'd feel betrayed as well if my husband voted for a racist, sexist bigot.
Ludania, The Royal Republic Of Kumania
I mean, If you have so little for your loved one that politics can tear you two apart, maybe there wasn't as much love as ya thought?
Like, that's just sad to hear, considering we've never met either of them.
It's sad when you discover that your significant other is not the person you thought they were. That they are in fact a blinkered Trump supporter. A man who so hates women. Yet she is supposed to love her husband who votes for a misogynist?
I repeat, we've not met either of them.
While I wouldn't vote for him, I'm forced to point out that many people have reasons for how they vote, including Trump voters.
You said the same thing my friend did. While they can have whatever reasons they want, they cant expect automatic respect for their opinions. I know I'd hate to discover that my partner was a Tory. For some people, politics is a deal-breaker because it encapsulates your personal values and outlook on life. Some people cannot be with someone whose politics and values are so diametrically opposed to their own.

And that is sad to me, that's all I've said.
There's more to life than politics, and I should hate for anyone to be so absorbed by them that they cannot see past it to the person.
Yukona
Sometimes the person's politics shows who they truly are. Like Tories. Their party does vile things while they're in power but I'm supposed to "respect" a Tory voter and pretend they're a good person when they're clearly not?
That kind of person would bore or irritate me as a partner. It's boring to have a carbon copy partner when it comes to politics, and it'd be irritating if they tried to force their views on me.
Yukona
That's your prerogative. I cant ever seeing myself ever dating or loving a Conservative.
Love is an odd thing. You can't see yourself, but will you ever be? Who knows.
And more often, or at least often, it doesn't.
Tse for example?
I'm just saying, I would much rather have a kind and caring partner who happens to be Republican than a jerk who's also a Democrat :P
I doubt it. It's difficult for me to see a Tory as a good person. To me, they just appear to be selfish, evidenced by the nasty party they vote for and the nasty policies it implements when in power.
Oh my! I'm sure Thomas will want to hear about this. I think Mattel and HIT Entertainment will also want to hear about this, since they own our TV show. Toby would call this 'fair use', while Gordon would call it 'copy-write infringement', whatever that means.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Let me know when you find a kind and caring Republican.
Found one
Tse.
Sorry, no TTP in Baxten :P
Percyton
He's kind and caring but votes for a party that wants to cut funding to public services like welfare?
http://s15.zetaboards.com/COFN/topic/10061422/5/#new
Posted
You know he's caring, and you know that voting for one party doesn't mean you share in their beliefs fully.
Yukona
Hmm. Hard for me to reconcile the two. Maybe he's the usual right-winger. Cares about people he likes (friends and family) and the rest can go to hell.
Yeah. Like, Kal wants Snowden tried and I see Snowden as a hero who should be pardoned.
We don't agree on everything, but we're pretty happy together
Kalaron, Yukona
Just like how the usual right-wing member jokes about joining in on gay threesomes, right?
Which is less of a leap, that he agrees with some-but-not-all of the Right's policies, or that he secretly is filled with a "fvck you" attitude that he's never visibly expressed?
Come on mate, I doubt you agree with your party on every single issue ever just because they're your party.
Yukona
How are you all today ? :)
Jaslandia
Hehe, I mean, there's a lot more to you than just politics ;P
Good, still waiting on Lat, but better with this discussion.
How're you?
Penguania And Antarctica
True. Still cant see how someone can vote for right-wing policies and be considered a "good" person. I'll give you an example.
The right-wing party promises to cut money for the disabled. Your friend votes for them because they agree the government must "save money." Are they a good person?
I love you too, you pro government surveillance nut job. :p
Kalaron
Still feeling very goooood. A bit tired tho.
Jaslandia, Kalaron
That's twisting what I'm saying though, and going off info we ain't got.
In this hypothetical, your friend is voting for them for a morally reprehensible reason to you. We don't know why the Guy voted Trump, all we know is that he did and his Wife broke up with him.
You're confligating the party with the individual without reason, and on a person you don't know.
But we've seen some of Trump's policies so how can you think someone who votes for a man with such policies is good, regardless of whether or not they agree with some of them?
[nation=short]Kalaron[/nation] [nation=short]Nuremgard[/nation]
Fight ! Fight ! Fight ! Fight ! Fight ! Fight ! Fight !
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Yukona
Because they believe some help, and they believe some don't.
Just because they agree more with one politician doesn't mean they hate the other, you know :P
I'd make the "Fight! Fight! Fight! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" joke, but I'm already taken by Tim.
Penguania And Antarctica
I'm sure Trump voters like Tse can survive without my love or respect. I'm sure others give them that.
How about
"Fvck! Fvck! Fvck!" ??
