Pain, or damage, don't end the world, or despair, or fuckin' beatin's. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, ya got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man ... and give some back.

Crap! I forgot an "Abstain" option, didn't I.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Vote had.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

OK, one question before implementation: what name will we give the new forum?
I was talking to Shep and he said that fgalkin had suggested some Russian names (of course), like "Istoriya" or "История". Any other ideas, or should we run with that one?

We could simply title it "History Forum", but in Latin or Greek; that might be a nice touch.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Well, it was more a case of Shep coming to me with a bunch of horribly mangled Russian names that he asked me to fix, but yeah. Alternatively, I support Surlethe's suggestion of "History Forum."Darth Wong wrote:OK, one question before implementation: what name will we give the new forum?

I think a proposal along Surlethe's lines would be best, its simple and easy for even the amateur historian around these parts to get.

And the History Forum has been created!
Please try not to spam it up too much. It's only been up for 1 minute and people seem to be spamming it like crazy.

This shall not stand. All those spammy motherfuckers should be banned from the boards, I say! They contribute nothing and take up Mike's bandwidth with brain-dead posts that are the equivalent to rancid ape droppings.
Do not meddle in the affairs of insomniacs, for they are cranky and can do things to you while you sleep.

You, sir, are grievously insulting rancid ape droppings. They at least can be used for fertilizing the rain forest, unlike the posts you are referring to.Hotfoot wrote:This shall not stand.
