I can agree with you on that. I think his endorsement was less of a "She's the best for the job" and more of a "She's better than Trump."

That's true, anyone is better than Trump at this stage of the game loll. I have a hard time believing that the majority of Sanders' supporters will back her though, people really dislike her and might view his endorsement as some kind of selling out, which of course it's not

If I may, it's a possibility that Sanders may be trying to get a position in Hillary's board. I love the dude too, but anyone can be slimey, especially politicians.

I suppose it's always a possibility that politicians are motivated by positions in ruling admininistrations, however, I personally believe Sanders has proved himself to only care about the positions and not his own ego.. but you do bring up a good point.

Raiders actually see condemnations as badge of honor. Condemnations and commendations are supposed to recognize in-character behavior: good guys get commended and villains get condemned. By condemning HYDRA, you are awarding them for doing a good job at being jerks IC. Raiders are often congratulated by other raiders when they are condemned. When raiders are condemned, they feel honored and validated. I have read HYDRA's RMB, and the people there have said that they want their region to be condemned. When the raider Vandoosa was condemned by the SC in [resolution=SC#188]Condemn Vandoosa[/resolution], he was clearly pleased: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?t=362980. That is why the "WA elite" feel that raiders shouldn't be condemned because it shines a spotlight on these people, and they don't want raiders to be given any game-wide attention.

Hey everyone. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what happened in Baton Rouge.

Yodle, Lemona

Bernie Nation wrote:Hey everyone. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what happened in Baton Rouge.

I'm confused as to what happened, so a black man was walking down the highway with an assault rifle and when cops approached he killed three of them?

The tragedy itself is terrible, the targeting of police only makes the situation worse and makes progress so much harder. Another perspective on this is Lousiana's open carry law (without a permit), the fact that anyone can walk around with an assault rifle while police have no idea if they intend to kill them is unacceptable.

It would be useless to raid HYDRA because their region has an active founder. Raids can only cause real damage if they are done to founderless regions. Also, raiding is not a simple as it looks: it requires exact timing and precision.

What I found ironic is how conservatives use these arguments to try and support unborn life, yet once the child is born into poverty (assuming the parents wanted an abortion due to financial situations and/or age), conservatives all of a sudden don't care and want to eliminate the social welfare net. To me it seems more like they're just trying to control women through restricting the rights they have to their body.. But that's just my speculation on the matter.

My personal opinion on the matter is that the possibly future Mother has to decide what to do.

The connection between future mother and future child is so strong that to me, there is no place for external decisions.

Abortion has to be a choice and despite hard, non one can decide apart from the possibly future Mother.

I think it is better to be not born at all than to be unwanted.

I agree. Bringing a child into the world who you know will hate or simply not want because you're forced to have it will do so much damage to a child's psyche that it would be cruel to subject an unknowing person to such an experience. One has to take into account the human life itself, but also the quality of life the person that you're bringing into the world will have. No government should have a say in what the mother chooses

Bernie Nation wrote:Thoughts on Wikileaks and the resignation of DWS?

I'm so glad DWS is finally resigning, it was a long time coming. Honestly I'm not surprised by the Wikileaks emails, I've known they were doing everything they can to work against Sanders and his campaign. These, to me, are only revelations for the people who mindlessly consume and believe in everything the establishment media tells them.. Not true Sanders supporters who go and do their own research.

Trumptopiamerica wrote:What is a World Assembly endorsemtn?

An endorsement is essentially when another World Assembly member endorses you, which allows you to gain more influence in the region (rises at a faster rate) and if you gain at least two endorsements you can submit proposals to the WA. Also, if you get the most endorsements you become the WA delegate who has the most influence in the region when it comes to voting and can approve of proposals to come to vote.

I agree. Raiders walk on thin ice when it comes to raiding, they basically use technicalities in NS rules to do it legally.. When people who aren't adept with the process fight back by raiding they usually get their nation CTE'd for small things like flaming or other stuff.

I'm not sure what the solution to raiders in general should be, but I think for us it might be best to remove ourselves from the situation to avoid any further conflict. At this point it's a waiting game.. We'll get revenge eventually, somehow :P

As long as we don't pay attention to them they'll eventually lose interest in us, or they will start to make errors.

Maybe this is not the initial region but here we have an active Founder so to raiding others for revenge, for us is only counterproductive, I think.
