Like what topic?


Long live the progressive agenda of toleration (especially if there's a sexual or racial element to it), long live the courts

Down with the police, down with the Russians

If there's a dispute, China and Russia will generally going to be in the wrong while the UK, US and some lesser nations will tend to be in the right

If something is being done in the name of law and order or counter-terrorism, chances are its excessive or stupid.

And drugs should be legal (but make sure its ''regulated'').

Science has a monopoly on Reason, Objectivity, and Truth.

Enter an endless cycle of news clippings (more than half of which have no real points of discussion other than to encourage echo-chamber tendencies from an element listed above), a couple of random hypotheticals... rinse and repeat.

Probably the only topic left that has any amount of varian is gun control, but pretty much everyone is in favor of some kind of ''regulation'' with a defeatist approach to removing guns altogether.

Reality has a Pro-NSG bias. Look it up.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

What I take from their general behaviour, is that they never took this thread serious in the first place. I won't say more, because that's a punishable offense on this forum, but I think you know where I come from here.

I am breaking out in hysterical laughter here. Everyone who dares venture into Malvinas threads saw the poll bullshitting from the start and the sensible people don't look at all. Which democratic model is OP using here?

Before Britain violates the rights of the islanders to give their home to the Argentineans, I'd donate 100 common currency units to help finance the physical dismantlement of the Falkland Islands to allow for their reassembly off the coast of Scotland and would call for everyone else I know to do the same.

my logic is that it's closer to Argentina , and therefore, it should be Argentinean!

By changing which choice carried which wording.

Which is why despite voting on the Pro-British side my screen now says I voted for the Argentinians.

I think the Falklands should become an Outermost Region of the EU, as an overseas territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. After all the Falklanders, by being British citizens, are already EU citizens.


Isn't the UK voting on possible in-out referendum in two years?

But yeah, this if they vote no.
