Actually, they almost always have a patronymic last name.

P2TM RP Discussion Thread
If you want a good rp, read this shit.
Tiami is cool.
Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

It's Nightkill. He's been there so long he rents out rooms to other people at a flat rate, but demands cash up front.

To my eyes? Japanese for having multiple writing systems and Gaelic for being lolwut orthographically.

To my ears? Slavic languages in general. Many odd consonant clusters.

To my brain? English. I mean, damn, it's like English finds other languages, knocks them out, and steals exactly one item of clothing from them until it's wearing almost none of its own clothes.
My nation =/= my views.

The Merchant Republics wrote:Taxation is theft only in the sense that it does not require the consent or tacit agreement of those it takes from, in principle. However, it would be wrong to equivocate it to a real act of theft, what taxation is, is a forced purchase, it's putting a gun to your head and making you buy things you don't really want to buy. This is wrong but not theft per say, you do recieve at least nominally the value of your dollar, you just don't get to directly decide what that dollar is spent on.

There are definite evils to taxation, definite wrongs the state commits, but it is misleading to call taxation theft.


I still think taxation is a necessary evil, but hey, close enough. :D
