If famous people played NS....

[Mike the Progressive]

I don't know what Kanye West's nation would be but, rest assured, it would be the best damn nation of all time!

He'll be happy for you though,

He's the voice of a generation, and a fucking genius, his nation would be unlike any other, but the enemy of that nation would be the attention grabbing whore, Taylor Swift.

[Free Soviets]

stephen colbert would be dead to me. he knows what he did.

[Natapoc]

Basically if famous people played NationStates then we'd have a much larger presence. We'd even be on the news.

We've made it onto Indymedia... sure, it was libel, but it should count for something.

Where is the indymedia post?

I found it! http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/08/321106.html

I would not call it libel. It is true. The Nazis seem to have thinned out which is nice but for a while they were everywhere.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean tolerating hate or letting hate groups use his website's services.

Please. It's up to all of us to put racists where they belong.

Oh God, I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.

Why not laugh until you cry?

It is true right? I mean that is the basis of the private property system that one can dictate what others do with their property. Max berry was and is under no legal obligation to allow hate speech on his site.

Doesn't look like the article. The one that I remember was full of far more indignation and was from the Australian branch, if I remember correctly.

That's true for the right of free speech, but not for the ideal of free speech.

In other words, he's within his rights to deny people freedom of speech on his website, but that's not freedom of speech.

Free speech is not 'Free speech when I agree with you', else you might as well be the fascists you're yelling about.

Here is one from the Portland one. http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/08/

Was it on the same topic?

It was the same topic, only it pretended that Nazis were pretty much a majority or at the very least largely uncontested on the site. The article even cited the title of a parody thread (that reading the OP would have revealed to be such) as evidence of its claims.

Pity that Indymedia has no search function. It's a bit difficult to find without it.

Nope, no one is asking to deny Nazis the right to free speech. Only to not provide them with free services to do so. Regardless of what max berry allows on his site the Nazis can still speak.

Besides this forum is very much against free speech. There are all kinds of "speech" that could get you banned.

You sort of are, within the context of this site.

And yet, it does not apply to any form of ideology, with the possible exceptions nazism where swastikas in flags are concerned. Form of speech is restricted here, content insofar as it remains PG 13 and doesn't advocate illegal activities.

Once again, you confuse the right with the ideal. Sure, the right to freedom of speech does not cover private property, but to restrict what one can say on one's own property is against freedom of speech. Banning Nazis from speaking is no more in line with the ideal of freedom of speech than is banning Anarchists and Greenies like yourself from speaking.

Political content is not one of them.

Billy Mays would be an adbot nation, advertising Chipotle Away

I miss that guy. Pitchmen was an awesome show, just because of the dialogue between him and Sullivan. *wonders if he could be a Billy Mays impersonator one day*

[UberWeegeeia]

NS would be populated by idiotic and irritating celebrity worshippers and the place would go to hell on a hand-grenade within seconds.

[Horsefish]

Better question: What if people on here got famous?

More than likely we'd never know.

If i ever become famous I'm just going to slip the word horsefish into an interview. Just to prove it.

Darth Vader would run a Psychotic dictatorship.

Julian Assange....

Inoffensive Centrist Democracy?

Tyranny by Majority?

Hmm...the possibilities.

You know your contract tells you not to talk about that.

[Czardas]

Kim Jong-Il would be the forum troll.

Kim Jong-Il may well be every n00b who wanders into the II forum to post threads of the "The great and glorious dictatorship of $randomname has successfully built and tested 732739857 nucular weapons. Now we shall declare war upon the world!" variety. Indeed, this was a running joke at one point.

[Qatarab]

If hitler had a nation it would be banned for putting swastikas on the flag

Then we'd have another Hitler youtube video and this time about being banned from NS.

Any politician (especially from the US) who played this game would probably complain that the classifications were all wrong. Hence they would play with the Liberal or Conservative style up depending on their stance.
