-Random Bojikamiian reflecting on an event involving himself and a venus flytrap

[Gorgashia]

"For the umpteenth time, that pomegranate argument holds no weight in reality. Pomegranates and firearms are two very different things, that's why wing able to eat a single type of fruit isn't a right in any nation. And, really, you're critiquing my logic, mr. fruits-and-guns-are-essentially-the-same-thing? Really? All you have there is a decent joke. And I'll admit, I enjoy it a bit. A pro-pomegranate and anti-pomegranate debate would be hilarious. However, that doesn't make pro-gun and anti-gun arguments the same thing. Or, if you still don't believe me... *ahem* 'Replace gun with pomegranate whenever those anti-gun folks talk: pomegranates are dangerous! We have to restrict the kind of people who can have pomegranates! Having pomegranates is not a right! Now you realize that they're arguments are bullshit pretending to be logic.' Now, is the pomegranate argument dead?"

- Jonathan Cornwal, Orator.

[Greater Mackonia]

"Go ahead using that argument I might just decide to outlaw pomegranates"

-Z.Maglos.

[Senyosu]

This gun nonesense is silly and must stop. Just keep them legal and up to the people to decide whether they ant one or not. Seriously. Tired of hearing this foreign shit concerning guns. And just regulate them for crying out loud.

-An obviously angry (and drunk) Prime Minister Junsen-

[Las Palmeras]

"Robots are safer than plants then..."
-A man, 2061

[Bereia]

"Communism is an attempt at shared mediocrity; admittedly there are no failures, but there are no genius's either"

-Z.Maglos.

"Indeed, and this is why I despise it. Equality at the cost of it being equal in mediocrity and misery? No, thanks."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

---

-Unknown

[The Grand World Order]

"There comes a point where you've acquired so much money that more won't do anything to improve your life. Might as well put it back into the economy, prop some people up. To hoard more of it's just bad for the economy, bad for business, and bad for the soul." -Dan Ethier, President of Ethier Medical Systems

[Ruridova]

- Leopold Dietkrech

[Greater Mackonia]

"Dull,Duller,Dietkrech"

-Z.Maglos inspired by Churchill.

[The Roman Imperial Republic]

"In my empire we actually treasure citizenship, and those who have it. It is a tool of freedom, and part of who you are and not just a legal term. 'Civis Romanus Sum' is the greatest thing a plebeian can say in politics. 'I am a Roman Citizen.' Small sentence, yet powerful in significance. This is the greatest boast in the world."~Emperor Gallus

"What is it you cunni have against good ol'fashioned conquest? I was never an aggressive expander, albeit I shrunk the empire, but I still do not understand your abhorrence with expansion...."~Emperor Gallus

[Ruridova]

-Z.Maglos inspired by Churchill.

- Agata Novotny

[Senyosu]

I seriously don't get it. These people preach charity and goodwill when they just horde money. What is wrong with them.

-Hyatōri Ichiyo, Minister of Labor commenting on evangelical Christianity-

[Ruridova]

"Brains are nice. I wish you had one."

-Hyatōri Ichiyo, Minister of Labor commenting on evangelical Christianity-

"The Christians are hypocrites to the very extreme. They deny their own 'saviors' teachings in the search for their own wealth and ambition. When they should be helping with the poor or working in the soup kitchens, they are practicing their greatest trade: Persecution against anyone who is not them."~A note written personally by Emperor Gallus, sent to Hyatōri Ichiyo

[Senyosu]

Liberals and their preaching of liberty and happiness is silly. You cannot achieve liberty and happiness by simply changing a few laws. You have to forge responsibility first through education.

-Minister of Education Hojō Sezuya-

[Bereia]

“Earn all you can, give all you can, save all you can.”

-- John Wesley, Anglican cleric and Christian theologian.

-- Bishop Adrian Schilling, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bereia.

[Saurisisia]

"Aren't all religions hypocritical in their own little ways, hypocrisy is universal, not limited to merely one's political opposites."
~ Reptilius Frederick, High Priest of the Congregation of Saurism

[Senyosu]

There is two and only two universal sins. The sin of dishonesty and the sin of hypocrisy. Such sins are notable and universal, for they cannot be avoided nor can one repent for them. However, the countermeasure for such a sin is simple. Live one's life by charity and moderation. Avoid the vice of hiding the truth. Avoid the vice of not following oneself. That is key to living a life without the burden of universal sin.

-Eyosu Ōkazai, twentieth head of the Eyosu clan-

[Las Palmeras]

"Simple. It's just a modified SSh-68 made from molds from cellulose nano-pulp. The same material is used in the modified 6B12 and it's the mainstay cheap equipment, typically dark olive green; along with the rest of the uniform...some synthetic material that allows perspiration to come out but preserves enough heat for isolation. Near the collar is typically a microphone, and some people wear locating systems in their wrists.

The mainstay firearm is some AK-patterned weapon made from the Galil AR, even though it's called a 'Needle Gun' because of the 22nd Century ammunition. More cellulose, but this time more weakly made and in the shape of a needle. It has the strength to get in but not to come out, and as a result it expands inside a body, and a firearm can carry over 60 rounds.

This is cheap. The finest armor made to date actually looks more like some Pressure Suit with some continuous track or a variant with rolling memory-spheres, and only a handful of shock forces use them...they're like modern chenillettes. What did you expect? Exposed Joints? That's the stupidest idea ever!"
-???, 2169

[Reichsvolk]

"You see, monsieur, I stand here with a group of captured Frenchmen, and a pistol in one hand. You see this pistol? If I put this to your head, and were to pull the trigger, a bullet would delightfully pop our and end your captivity right here, right now. And that would be it. Your entire life, from baby to man, would be over, and would never begin again. You would be lost forever, another man in Heaven alongside all his wasted young comrades. And that's how war goes. There is an impermanent permance to it, the way so much can change in such a short amount of time. Delightful, to the poetic eye. Now, your role in the grand scheme of things is over. I am sorry to have wasted this speech upon you, but you should thank me, really. I'm just making sure you stay remembered."
- Captain Karl Chemnitz to a captured French soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. Needless to say, the soldier and his friends were executed shortly after.

[Las Palmeras]

"From our experience, killing unarmed and defenseless people generally causes more resentment and more motivation for the enemy to resist you. And it leaves a toll of guilt on any normal person.

You can round up the surrendered. You can rough them up. You can intimidate them. You can force them to work in internment camps for the duration of the conflict...but wholesale carnage to individuals who willingly trust their lives in our hands is not something we're going to gloat about."
-Col. Martínez Sosa, 2169

[Gorgashia]

"The purpose of our movement is to destroy man's tendency to exploit his fellow man. Of course people are going to hate us, we're out to destroy the only thing you can take man for granted!"

- Boris Jekyll, second Premier of the People's Republic of Gorgashia.

---

"The objective of the People's Movement is to attack the source of all human tyranny and misery, the concentration of overwhelming power in the hands of few at the expense of all others."

- Nestor Debbs, Leader of the Second Gorgashian Revolution.

---

"The purpose of the 'Glorious Revolution' is basically... Y'know, I've pretty much forgotten at this point."

- Fredrick Johnson, Marshal of the Protectorate.

---

"From what I've seen, the purpose and result of Socialism is whatever any populist or egalitarian fool wants it to be to suit their own interests. Especially in regards to 'Gorgashian Socialism.' It started out as some pipe-dream to slowly replace private enterprise with cooperatives, now it involves some weird form of Athenian democracy and minarchism mixed in with the pipe dream. Anyone surprised that the future after Fredrick Johnson looks as uncertain as fuck?"

- Jacques Robespierre, Gorgashian Historian.
