TET: Now With Giant Isopods!

[New Maldorainia]

Tariffs, set at a low rate, and with less money, we can shed excess government agencies, and try and make them live within their means.

Maldo.

Please.

I do not want to come "home" i.e. my lodging in California to find big fat tax discussion. It makes Thafoo cranky.

Then don't read it or don't be involved.

brb, dying

[Thafoo]

Intriguing.

Perhaps it's my socially-liberal Canadian part is colouring my perceptions.

Well, according to many my ideas/beliefs are radical and unrealistic and can never work in the real world, etc. etc.

That's because they'll execute just as well as collectivism in the USSR.

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

Indeed old bean. *puts monocle on*

*puts monocle back on* quite. Care for a spot of tea?

Oh yes. That sounds like a splendid idea old boy. Tally ho!

I mean harmony is good. Just that the Confucian way of ataining such harmony is a bit unnatural and too rigid to be even described as harmonious. I applaud those that do attempt to modernize his works though, while I do respect his works, I disapprove of much of them. And I would call it relativism. It's cultural and political dissonance. It's this dissonance that makes it hard for people to understand each other East and West.

Well I guess being unnatural is better than the alternative, however, I isn't really suitable to designate an unharmonious mean to achieve a harmonious result. The means to get to the ends seems unusual. Maybe it's an internal dissonance for me, since I envision harmony as a flowing concept. They did base their philosophies from Kongzi's works, but gave their own unique flair.

Quite! Mencius was a Confucian scholar, but the tones of his writings differ greatly. ^^ No longer do we see the despotism of the patriarch, but something more free-flowing and egalitarian. This culminates in the ancient Chinese classic Liao Fan's Four Lessons, where we see Taoism, Buddhism, Confucius and Mencius all interwoven together for something rather beautiful and definitive of the entire Chinese outlook on good life, morality and sound governance.

What are we collecting signatures for?

For a my friend, Iustus Sumus. Her self-hatred as got us drawing names on her face.

Good, no comment on my self hatred, you didn't notice.

And idk who Lian is but

LIAN! HI! AUTOGRAPH??

Lian is that lady called Lianhua talking about philosophy.

And I am still here. If you want my autograph, we'll have to box first. ^^

There are limits to most things.

Just like 99% of all ideas!

[Meritocratic States]

I'd say it's a load of bull, and can only happen in a nation with a surplus that is higher than it's debt.

Sounds like the City of Mississauga.

[Coffee Cakes]

Boxing?

Can I surrender, Lian?
I'm to weak to box against a teddy bear.

[Lianhua (Ancient)]

And idk who Lian is but

LIAN! HI! AUTOGRAPH??

Lian's not online right now.

Oh but I am. cx Just had to log off Skype because I'm just on mobile now. o/

Yes you may, my precious little Boston snowflake.

[Iustus Sumus]

I'm a girl. I live in America and have access to the Internet. Of course I do.

Look at it this way. Human beings are born to rot and die. One day everyone will wither until their bodies are no longer capable of metabolic function. When you think about the grand scheme of things, is it worth it to hate yourself for trivial reasons?

I bet you're fun at parties.

When humans are born they are already dying.

Weren't you the one complaining about me talking about this?

*holds hands up*

Hey. Hey. Let's not play the blame game here. Let's talk about, I don't know, paper. There are sheets of paper on this table. They are neat sheets of paper. They are nice.

Tell me more about these sheets of paper? Do they have crisp edges?

Then don't read it or don't be involved.

I sense severe sexual tension.
