SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"Why do they hate us?"

Quote from: Spike................
All in all, I'd much rather hang out with the girls from Brisbane who were hitting the local slopes this Monday.  None of them seemed at all put out about the role of the US on the world stage, they were much to busy availing themselves of our copious mountains and free market economy.... or something.

Yeah, nothing like being reviled for where you were born to make you appreciate reading a forum...:rolleyes:


So,...Spike - you had a good time then??

 Very Cool.

People really need to get over the politics thing.

Browser stoppewd ino the store today. We got to talking religion by accident....I did tell him I try to avoid talking politics and religion at work. Turns out he converted to being a Muslim over 10 years ago.  We had a nice conversation. He knows the other workers at the store better - because he was haninbg out there before our big merge of inventory and changeover.

Hate is not part of his version of Islam.....but thats better saved for another thread...

Firstly, I doubt anyone here hates YOU specifically for where you were born.  Secondly, it's not a question of where you were born, but the decisions that your government makes.  And given that so many Americans proudly proclaim to have the greatest democracy on the planet, I can only assume that the decisions of the government are pretty representative of the majority of the US people.  To borrow from Oscar Wilde... To elect GWB once may be regarded as a misfortune; to elect him twice looks like carelessness.

So, er, what does that say about John Howard's three successful elections?
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

It says that I'm ashamed to be an Australian, at times.

Quote from: Bradford C. WalkerOn a side note, I think that there needs to be serious inquiry into this concept of "legitimacy" with regard to power.
Criteria for legitimacy of power:

1)Is beejazz the head honcho yet?

If no, the power is not legitimate. Beejazz for king I say.

Y'know, that's probably a lot closer to what most folks actually believe to be "legitimacy" (substituting whomever they prefer for you) than many think it to be.
