We all share the same sky, the same land and the same water.

What makes us so different from each other?

Political boundaries and territories, the majority of which were constructed in the first three quarters of the last century, make that not the case... Unfortunatly, these boundaries were construed when it was believed that the best basis for a political territory was a national identity... something which has been contentious, and often dangerous, and which we are still paying the costs for in places...

I have a solution! How about every country in the world merge into a big, garguantuan worldwide empire, headed by me! Then nationalism wouldn't hurt anyone (with the exeception of those who opposed my absolute power...........)

Still do, and I doubt she's leaving anytime soon. Event that popular comedian is made to back off when he talks bad about the queen.

I wish I was the queen.......




King rather........king......yes......

americans haven't forgotten their roots - they came from a bunch of raving religious nutters, bent on spreading their conservative word of the lord around the world...

They very much DO relate to and remember those roots...

(could any replies to this start as a new thread in non-cantr related? I'm too lazy to split it...)

In which case it should be "Fight Nationalism." A guy named Hitler used Nationalism most effectively...

Okay, we are (mostly) all agreed. If you want a character removed, don't starve them in public, don't plead for it, and why? Because you aren't just playing with yourself here, you are playing with other people. Should go in the FAQ.

PS Yes, I'm from Seattle, and visit Canada often. So it's a joke, eh?

I don't think I've ever killed a char just to be in *that* area over *this* one. Maybe I've spawned thinking "please not Siom-Quill-Brunoi AGAIN!", but I doubt that counts, and I've still played them.

No excuse in my mind. You're dealt your hand, now go play
