Quotes of people in your nation MK. IV

[Fatatatutti]

"I was making a spaceship and I fell off the dock and my finger got broken so the doctor put a stick on my finger. Then I was helping my sister make fireworks and the stick caught on fire so the doctor had to put a new stick on my finger. Then I went surfing with my brother and the stick get wet and the stick bended so the doctor had to put another new stick on my finger. Then the doctor told me not to do anything any more."

-- Choo Choo, age seven

[Ruridova]

Ruridovans are whiny, entitled slacktivists.

"That is incorrect! Ruridovans are angry, self-righteous progressives who distrust anything a big business does."
- Randy Takasmatsu, who is Terranovan, not Ruridovan, and is thus allowed to add things on Ruridova

[Saurisisia]

"If you ask me, government and the private sector should but out of the people's business altogether. It's up to the community to govern the people, direct local healthcare, police, fire, and education, and run the community's infrastructure."
~ Joyce Fairchild, anarchist

[The Multiversal Species Alliance]

"The weak will always suffer that which they must until they wake up and realize that power is in violence and unity, until that time, the strong will rule over them."
-anonymous Anarchist

[New Hyannis]

"By keeping taxes low, tax codes simple and straightforward, and providing a clear, open set of rules which are administered by a court system which is ruthlessly kept free of corruption, we are in a prime position to serve as a reliable, stable provider of financial services to companies and individuals from around the globe."

~ Arthur Switzer, Commonwealth Department of Treasury.

******************************

"Following a lengthy investigation and a reasonably speedy trial, Tobias Olsen was found guilty of the kidnapping, rape and homicide of Sierra Durant in October of 2010. In keeping with the law, he was to be executed within thirty days of the judge passing sentence. His lawyer, as was customary, advised him to file an appeal for clemency, which he did. This was reviewed, refused, and he was informed directly on the day for which the execution was scheduled. The whole thirty days there were protests in Norway, the crowds howling outside the embassy fences like a hurricane had settled over the place, going from early in the morning and continuing on well into the night. Local police made several arrests. Mr. Olsen had requested a priest, and a chaplain was brought here, sent by the Church of Norway, and spent the last two days with him. At exactly 9 o'clock PM on the scheduled date, he was removed from his cell, to the execution chambers, where he was hanged in accordance with Commonwealth law. As is customary the presiding State Executioner's name was kept secret from the public to prevent reprisals."

~ Richard Clarke, Commonwealth Attorney General.

[Estainia]

"We have to walk nearly three thousand miles, on foot, to throw a piece of jewelry into a volcano? Why not just find a dragon? Magical artifacts are notoriously venerable to dragonfire after all."

"The short old man in the corner over there help kill the last dragon capable of that..."

"Balls." - Cornelius Andius, conversations from Middangeard.

[Greater Mackonia]

"Morality used to be wisdom handed down through the generations, until after the rise of Christianity when it became folly handed down."

-Z.Maglos.

[Las Palmeras]

"Montserrat Zorilla is probably the most repudiated leader, and her family on a whole...for they have made Las Palmeras seem silly at times. Montse never said anything about human beings and fish coexisting peacefully or something about multiplying penises, her still movements give her an unfriendly look...however she's appeared publicly drunk at least half as much has Yeltsin had and always appears more than happy while inebriated.

And here are her words of wisdom spread across the world in her visits: 'I thought sushi was only for nouveau riche and cosmopolitan bourgeoisie that feel uppity buying expensive coffee and wearing stupid hats. (in Japan)', 'Wow! You have casinos here too! (in France)', 'But the important thing is, nobody died. (in the USA in a shooting range), and my personal favorite 'I used to do this when I studied in Moscow. (she was chugging down wine while in Italy)', this was completed with a little spinning dance.

Her son has also gotten flak for being brash. Tomoko is not a household name in Japan, but the company she worked for was, and so was her cute creation. Tabloids there released pictures of them kissing in a visit, he was patting her ass. Ignorant of norms there, he reportedly said: 'We're wife and husband. It was only a simple goodbye because I was going to work.'

For her part, Tomoko is known to be prone to stuttering and lying frozen in front of people."
-The Office Lady, on the current First Family

[Ruridova]

"Most Ruridovans oppose the death penalty, an overwhelmingly large majority in fact, but the two main reasons why are basically total opposites. A little over half of them believe that the death penalty constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, which is illegal in most countries, thus making the death penalty in contravention to Ruridovan law. A little under half believe that death is a cop-out that prevents criminals from actually being punished, allowing them to get away with whatever it is they did, preventing the state from actually serving real justice to these people. In short, whenever someone proposes reinstating the death penalty, both sides of the spectrum shoot them down."
- Agata Novotny, to a Terranovan

[Horizont]

"I always thought the analogy of 'pulling oneself up by one's own bootstraps' to be quite amusing and quite accurate, both in ways which those who use it would like and especially in ways in which they would not."

--- Angelika Kautz

[Xekliv]

"Foolish Mortals! You do not--"

((BLAM BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!))

"Do I look mortal to you?"

-- Legate Markis Martyr, undead commissar from the Paleolithic Era, raiding the tomb of an ancient evil necromancer

[Auzkhia]

"The anti-capital punishment movement is divided into two camps; those who think it's too cruel because the state should not kill people who kill people, and those who think it is not cruel enough because there are fates worse than death. I believe Justice is never about cruelty."
-Chancellor Felix Weymann

[Greater Mackonia]

"Mackonians are in favour of capital punishment not because they believe criminals should suffer or that it is particularly just; they support it because they think imprisonment is a far more cruel and barbaric sentence. For a Mackonian there is little worse then spending vast amounts of time confined with other Mackonians,their two worst enemies in one place; boredom and other people.For the brief period prisons were used in Mackonia riots were an almost permanent and very dangerous occurrence.No it is seen as universally more humane to allow the criminal his execution...its also far more cost efficient* and allows the victims their pleasure of revenge. Mackonians see Prisons as horrific institutions and genuinely do mean it when they claim countries that use them are unnecessarily cruel."

-Eleanor White, Mackologist. Mackonian Justice is largely dispensed by the Sskisto-streth.

*Before you go on about the cost of drugs, court process etc. Any method chosen by the victim is allowed for punishment allowing for some very cheap executions and in regards to court processes...well given how justice works in Greater Mackonia** appeals do not play a role.

**Omniscient Private Assassins' Guild that keeps the peace through fear of retribution...a very Mackonian route to low crime rates...I should explain this in its own post.

[Xekliv]

"Why do humans insist on calling marriage between members of the same sex 'Gay Marriage', as if it were somehow different? Why don't they call it 'Gay Parking' when a homosexual parks their car? Or 'Gay Lunch' when they go out to eat?"

-- Sosqostiid

[Kelinfort]

"Decree Forty-Five: Public Meetings are suspended hereof indefinitely."

--General Arthur Michael, 1988, "New Decrees inhibit SDP."

[Xekliv]

"SPARTAN-IV's are merely watered-down excuses for Spartans, that all share an annoying, cocky attitude. When I see them truly get their hands dirty and prove they have a reason for their cockiness, then they will earn my respect."

-- Korro-73, SPARTAN-II of Clan Xarkon

[Allancia]

"Only in Allancia is the word 'nation' uncapitalized and the word 'State' a proper noun."

[Auzkhia]

"In my native language, every Noun is capitalized."
-Prince Regal Stallion

[New Frenco Empire]

"According to a Harris Interactive poll taken in September of 2009, approximately 54% of all British adults polled were favorable to the idea of reinstating capital punishment in British law, at least in response to murder, and some wanted it for other crimes such as drug trafficking and child abuse. It's nice to see we're not the only people in the world who retain our sanity."

~ Wicked Vector, Internet blog personality.

"The idea of frying people up in a chair or dangling them by some rope doesn't give me a hard-on. Must be insane."

-GrimRapist

[Auzkhia]

"Being turned to stone exists in our law books as a capital punishment."
-Emperor Heinrich Karl

[Imperial Paleoworld Germania]

"Unlike most of Western Europe, the Empire maintains the death penalty with the last person to have been executed to date was a Herr Lukas Werner of Hesse-Nassau, who was hanged two years ago after being convicted of the rape of four female university students and the attempted murder of another. Some 53% wish to maintain Germany's stance on the death penalty as a continued option into the future; undoubtedly, it will continue to be utilized well into the future."
~ Frau Angelika Templehof, Reichsjustizamt

[Crysuko]
