At this point I would like to apologize if I am not going to be that active these days. A good friend of mine passed away and I will need to travel to my hometown to attend his funeral.

So in what direction do you guys think the Democratic Party is going? Where do you want to see it go?

Here's an interesting article about it:

http://m.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/23/1573593/-A-Proposal-To-The-DNC-For-A-New-21st-Century-Democratic-Party-Vision

I find the idea of having micro-parties within the Democratic Party to give it a more open process for young and independent voters to be highly intriguing and encouraging. I'd be very proud of the Democratic Party if something like this can be achieved rather than just swinging far to the left. If you swing one way, you leave half of the party disenfranchised.

Perhaps enough moderates could get together to form a third party, although in this polarized environment, I'm not sure if there are enough popular moderate politicians left to form a viable party. Michael Bloomberg? Angus King? Joe Lieberman?

Although, since third parties don't really have much of a chance to be anything other than a spoiler under the current FPTP voting system, I'm not sure if any of this matters anyway.

You have no evidence that we did this and if you attack us first, we will utterly destroy you. Let me be clear.

Well you should be.

In reality they kinda rely on the industrial capability of your nation, as well as it's size and tech.

With a focus on stealth and missile production, those missiles could overwhelm the Iron Dome by targeting it with multiple tandem charges, or could just try to rely on brute numbers alongside countermeasures.

The ballistic gravity weapon, for example, is a floating war crime in nearly all effective scenarios, because it's only real economic use is to hit large cities for maximum devastation, but this naturally falls into "Indiscriminate Non-combatant murder" and could potentially be defeated by either a modified Iron Dome system firing HEAT slugs directly into the middle of it to decore it, or (if we're going PMT) the KPS could turn the whole rod into a liquid or a gas.

Ive been thinking and ive come to the conclusion that the Romans did worse to the British people than the British have done to any other peoples or nation.

My reasoning being that when rome came to the British isles they did more than conquer and take slaves they essentially eradicated the native religion and culture and therefore separated the Britons from their culture, History and connection to the land. The celtic peoples of Britain (im just speaking of the Britons not the Irish or Pics of scotland since the romans didnt have much contact with them) didnt write there lore, history or traditions down they were kept in runic symbols in sacred groves and in the minds of the Druid priests and once those things had been exterminated, quite brutally, then everything besides a few fragments of knowledge was lost and so essentially the British that were robbed of their ancestors and heritage, and really any identity of who they truly were before rome, (which were primarily in what will become England) developed thinking they were children of Rome and the invasion of Rome was a civilising act, which it wasnt. So when it comes down to it, is it any wonder the British acted like they did in the 15-1900's? they were raised as children of rome.

I mean, Africa might disagree wholeheartedly with the whole "Worse than Britain has done to any other peoples", and I can't really agree with the thought that an 1850's british officer on a warship thought of himself as a child of rome, nor can I actually say that anyone in Britain was esspecially concerned with roman culture.

I've been better for sure. I am really tired as I stayed awake all day long yesterday and I returned to Tirana today as well, so I can leave again this Friday. Many travels in a short period of time.
