VOTE TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA ALONE! The WA commies are trying to infiltrate another nation!

Congratulations to the Right Hounourable Theresa May, hopefully she draws inspiration from the last female Prime Ministers Baroness Thatcher, and continues to keep Britain Great. Also congratulations to now Foreign Secretary Johnson, although he was stabbed in the back, by Mr. Grove at least he can put up a strong fight for Britain against the EU in negotiations.

I used to dislike Mr. Johnson until a few years ago when I met him at a US-UK society event, and after talking with him realized he is one of the smartest men in whatever room he is in.

A drop in civil rights because I allow gun ownership? It's obvious to see whoever decides what the results of decisions will be what their political stance is.

You got the drop in nudity because freshly ejected hot brass burns bare skin.

Coolridge wrote:Yeah, being a millennial, I seriously wonder what is going to happen throughout the course of my lifetime. The populace, of the United States, at least, seems to be becoming lazier, as well as uninformed about... well, everything, besides Pokemon Go and the latest dancing trends. Seems like most millennials want everything handed to them.

I mourn for the nation I grew up in and am shamed by the nation we are leaving to our grandchildren.

You are dealing with a game where the bar is being set based on an ideology rather than reality.

I'm curious as to why you continue playing if you feel that the game is so unfair. I also think there's some bias, but I don't think it gets in the way too often. I find that the users of the site are the ones that lean left mores than the site itself.

Because of some of the people I have come to know here.

Fair enough

I feel as though this game too leans a bit left when it comes to things, like for example i had an issue where poor people where getting poorer and i decided to give them a tax break and it lowers my economic strength from very good to good. there is no universe where a tax break doesn't benefit everyone. But, the site is fun to play around with so thats why i've choosen to stay

Wow, so when the mods give you a warning for something, aren't they supposed to tell you what rule you broke? "Trolling" is a little vague, and I have done nothing to intentionally anger people, so the term is inaccurate. Is there Admin Abuse on nation states? Do people get banned for having the "wrong opinions?"

The trolling rule means whatever they want it to. Just be extra careful about how you word things around here.

Act as if you're giving a speech to the most thin-skinned people in the universe, and if you offend them they'll eat you. That's how you avoid the trolling and flaming rules around here.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nation States Mods. What is really sad is that if you ask for clarification, you stand a better chance of getting a deletion threat than a meaningful answer.

One person's abuse is another person's justice.

It has happened in the past. Many of the mods here lean so far to the left they cannot be seen from the right. Unfortunately, there are a few that will weigh the conservative or liberal value of the message they are examining while making decisions on whether or not to moderate.

A few years ago it was so bad on the NS forums that I gave up and rarely go back. I don't remember the subject matter now, but some of the most vile slander was allowed to stand against users with the conservative viewpoint while two were threatened with bans for simply stating their cases and pointing that many were not debating, they were name calling and the ignorance of their positions. (I was one. I don't remember the name of the other nation other than he left after a traffic accident hurt some in his family.)

So, yeah. Tsurara shirayuki called it. Frankly, I'm getting to the point I don't care. I started getting that way when the mods went after Afforess for one sentence blown way out of proportion by mods that simply did not like him. Since that time several people have asked why I am still here. Everytime I get asked that question, it gets a little harder to answer. Even here in this little corner of Nation States there are people that seek to push this region down that very same slope.

If you guys send Lena Dunham up here to Canada so she can vomit her BS in my back yard I swear I'm going to literally kick some or all of your asses.

Welp. That's about as disheartening as it is expected. Everyone knows about conquest's law, right?

Nudity and RDU are affected by civil rights

why are posts being suppressed?

Vivaldille wrote:why are posts being suppressed?

Because they don't agree with the ideology of the left-end NS moderators. They are bound by oath to squash the dissenting voices.

Capitalist Producers, Funktopia, Ohioan territory, and L e m u r i a

We need to vote against the HAEA in the WA, guys. It adds more power to the already bloated and pointless powers of the World Assembly.

This is another expression of Conquest's law: Any established bureaucratic institution that is not explicitly right wing will become left wing with time.

Also involved is the moderator's fears of Hill's law: Any forum lacking censorship will become dominated by right wing ideas with time.

Tsurara shirayuki

Like I said earlier... Haha.

It's funny 'cause what was said was actually really tame.

Ohioan territory

Lemuria has, apparently, departed us for the Capitalist Libertarian Freedom Region... and he said that we are, "shockingly socialist." Hm.

Tavok and Drasnia

I've only been in this region a few weeks and have failed to see any socialism

If the contesting of opinions is socialism, I guess I'm a big socialist.

Vincent adultman

Hey everyone. I am a adult named Vincent, uh, Adultman. I work at the Business Factory. I wanted to, uh, come to this region for business... transactions.
