TET: The Extraterrestrial Thread

Is it cannibalism to feed bacon to a pig?

Yeah I guess.

You've answered your own question, mate.

Is it cannibalism to feed bacon to a pig?

Yes, it is.

20 points to Slytherin. -20 points from Gryffindor.

[Internationalist Bastard]

Did they just stop logging on, or where they banned? Just seemed sudden to me, but then again, I just noticed

I've no information, I just remembering seeing this last week.

In regards to your question about whether he was banned, I doubt it. I admit I don't know policy but I assume that - if a mod were to be banned from the website they'd also have been stripped of that respectful mod title. Yumyum still has mod title.

Huh, odd

[The Serbian Empire]

Which is going to become a problem for the Republicans. Not because of global warming, for you can be damn sure they will still deny it even exists by that time, but because of a tragic loss of voters.

Moving is a thing.

The curse of aging will remove most of those Floridians making the state battleground long before anything else.

[Internationalist Bastard]

Yeah I guess.

You've answered your own question, mate.

Yes, it is.

20 points to Slytherin. -20 points from Gryffindor.

Fucking godamn He Who Shall Be Named taking over the Ministry, ruining Hogwarts

We are always making more old people.

But, admittedly, my generation as old people are going to be different voters than the current generation of old people.

I knew we shouldn't have let Hermione become Minister for Magic.

[New haven america]

Yes, it is.

I'd take 50 from Gryffindor, but 2o should be enough.

How exactly does the Ministry of magic work? Is it it's own Parliament, or like, a secrete ministry of British parliament

[Ethel mermania]

Don't be so sure of that, folks for the most part move to the right as they age. They acquire goods and property and vote those interests.

Government of the wizarding community in Britain. Various different departments presiding over different things. Burkino Faso, Bangladesh, India, Iran, Japan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Andorra, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Norway, New Zealand, and Brazil are all known as having their own Ministries of Magic. So "the Ministry of Magic" mentioned in Harry Potter universe doesn't govern the wizarding world, it's just the British Ministry of Magic.

There are other forms of wizarding governments as well. The United States wizarding community has a Magical Congress. Argentina'a wizarding community is ruled by a Council of Magic.

I knew that. I'm just curious how it works? Does the minister have legislative bodies, how are they selected? Is the Minister elected, or she appointed by legislature?

It may not happen with automation and globlization threatening their livelihoods. If their ability to keep goods and property are threatened, I don't think they'll be voting for people who support a "pull yourself by the bootstraps" mindset.

How have I not discovered this before?

I would have thought you were produced using traditional methods. Are you suggesting your cost of production lower in the far east?

I mean, I as, an American, turned to a Chinese man to produce children and perform menial labour.

I knew that. I'm just curious how it works? Does the minister have legislative bodies, how are they selected? Is the Minister elected, or she appointed by legislature?

For the British Ministry of Magic (the Ministries of Magic aren't really covered in detail), the Minister himself or herself is an elected position. There is no limit on how many terms can be served but election for the Minister of Magic position is required at a maximum of every seven years. As far as I know, there are no other elected positions in the Ministry. I believe the Minister appoints the highest positions and most positions at the Ministry are hired. Wizards can seek employment at the Ministry after finishing education - though different departments and positions require different levels of education and some further require specific results on exams.

Various departments cover various aspects and areas of governing the wizarding community. Some of the named departments include:

Department	Offices
Department of Magical Law Enforcement	Auror Office Improper Use of Magic Office Wizengamot Magical Law Enforcement Squad Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office
Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes	Accidental Magic Reversal Squad The Obliviator Headquarters The Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee
Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures	the Beast Division the Being Division the Spirit Division Goblin Liaison Office Centaur Liaison Office
Department of International Magical Cooperation	International Magical Trading Standards Body International Magical Office of Law British seats of the International Confederation of Wizards
Department of Magical Transportation	the Floo Network Authority the Broom Regulatory Control the Portkey Office the Apparition Test Centre
Department of Magical Games and Sports	the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters Official Gobstones Club the Ludicrous Patents Office
Department of Mysteries	Unknown; This department is top secret

Magical Congress of the United States is slightly differently run. Most of their organization is unknown. Though, presumably, employees are hired after various levels of education as well. Various departments. Unlike Muggle American Congress, the Magical Congress is unicameral. Representatives are elected by their local wizarding communities from around the nation while a nationwide election is held for the President.

Ok, makes sense. Though I am curious, I seem to remember a council like thing in the movies. Was that a legislature or one of these departments?

See the likes of Lindsey Graham/John McCain/Hillary Clinton/etc... McCain isn't a Democrat, Graham isn't a Democrat... And they're not Bernie either. It's the political establishment who is pro-globalization regardless of party. The New York Times? They're pro-establishment and hate outsiders (Bernie, Trump, the Paul family)

It was probably the Wizengamot, from the only scenes I can think of that sound like that. If you could describe the scene a bit, I could confirm or deny.

Oh it's been forever, I mean tgere was the trial of David Tenant that I'm like, seeing in my head, and I'm also vaguely remembering a scene in the Cursed Child
