Well gee, maybe they should have became citizens...
Why should they when they're already citizens in all but formality? It's just a waste of time, really.

Well there is some kind of fragmented logic to it.
Yeah, fragmented logic that barely makes sense.

What a bunch of pussies. I'm just waiting for the day where any kind of game or sport with physical contact is banned because it'd be "too aggressive".
Several schools already banned playing tag because it "encourages violence" or some crap like that.

That's ridiculous. Although, I must say that I'd kind of understand it in a country with such a gun culture as the US. When you live in a country with 9 privately owned guns for every 10 people and over 1 in 3 households have guns in them, I can imagine that having kids simulate fire fights and pretend to shoot at each other might not send the right signals.

Still retarded though. I used to love playing with them when I was a kid.
It's only a problem for the people receiving said signals. I don't get why people in the US are so sensitive about this stuff. It's ridiculous. Guns are not even similar to fucking water guns.

That being said, at least the US isn't Yemen, where there are more guns than people!!!

Has everyone forgotten that Gibraltar is an Overseas Territory and Malta is a member of the Commonwealth <_<

That's why they get to vote in the UK referendum regarding the EU because they are both British and EU citizens (Although malta might be more complex than that) and it's the same deal with ireland.

It's a tricky one because more EU citizens voting would help make sure we stay, the outcome I would like, but I don't think that stacking the deck is the best way to go about it. It's Britain deciding if it wants to do something stupid or not, not the EU deciding for us >_>

Edit: I actually missed the bit about Cypriots but I'm pretty sure it falls under the same deal as malta.
Hm, looking at it, Cyprus is indeed a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. I guess that explains their rationale for including only those 3 nations. But I still think that it's unfair that EU citizens who are permanently living in the UK are unable to voice their opinion in the matter. And there aren't enough EU citizens living in the UK (about 1 million once you remove Irish, Cypriots, and Maltese) to overwhelmingly change the vote.

But if the UK were to leave the EU, I'm sure that there would be a way for the EU citizens who are living there to acquire UK citizens, as most of them have probably lived long enough to naturalize, but have chosen not to do so due to lack of necessity.

Serious / Re: What kind of government would Heaven and Hell have?

Both would have authoritarian Governments, but Heaven would be ruled by a (very) benevolent dictator, and Hell would be ruled by a bloodthirsty tyrant like Saddam Hussein.

The thing with going to the east and mounting an offensive in Aleppo is that it runs the risk of prompting an IS offensive on them (Jaish al Fatah). I don't think they want that.

Plus, with Latakia, there is definitely room to where they could take several cities and towns in northern Latakia. The towns and cities they lost since the spring 2014 offensive. Also, several foreign jihadi groups involved in Jaish al Fatah or in the Battle of Victory coalition are based in Latakia. I would assume that also plays a role.

But I just don't see a large scale offensive in Aleppo, especially given the proximity of Jisr al Shughur to Latakia. But anything is possible. Predicting where the conflict will be in six months from now is difficult, let a lone 3-4 weeks. So who knows.
The comparison between Aleppo and Latakia though is that most of the men around Khanisir are drawn halfway across the country, so their morale is horrible. It's to the extent where many people stationed there have been deserting. While with Latakia, you're going for the Alawite heartland, so the people they'd be facing would defend their land almost fanatically. And not to mention that the strategic implications for cutting off Aleppo would likely justify bringing yourself right up to IS. But then on the other hand, IS has been aching to get with Jaysh al-Fatah for a very long time.

So you're right. In the end, it's just pure speculation. 6 months ago, most people were expecting that the Government would soon encircle the Rebels in Aleppo rather than the other way around. I just think it makes more sense to go towards the East and exploit the horrible morale of troops stations around Khanisir rather than try yet another Latakia offensive that's probably going to be repelled.

Because this referendum would affect them a great deal.
And whichever part of the mandate dealing with foreign aid affects people a lot. . . Questions on welfare affect non-UK citizens a lot.

Simply being affected by something doesn't give you the right to vote.
Then why the fuck are Maltese, Irish, and Cypriot citizens allowed to vote in this referendum despite the fact that there are fewer combined Maltese, Irish, and Cypriot citizens (~500,000) than there are Poles? All of them have would be living in the UK based on the same residency status, so why only enfranchise a small portion of them?

41
Why the fuck should non-citizens be able to decide the fate of the country? It defeats the point of a national citizenry altogether.
Because this referendum would affect them a great deal. And there are only 1.5ish million EU citizens living in the UK. I think that an exception should have been made for something like this, since not only UK citizens will be affected, and EU citizens should have had the right to vote on this as well.

And my other concern is why the fuck Cypriot and Maltese citizens were allowed to vote in this referendum (Irish citizens, it actually makes sense for). It seems suspiciously like they're just trying to prevent EU citizens who actually live there in meaningful numbers from voicing their opinions.

What is Anarchy for? Is it like a no-rule zone?
Pretty much. Used to happen once a month for a weekend, now it just pops up randomly for a day. It's a place where people can post anonymously and almost everything goes. Pretty much the only rules are to not post anything illegal and to refrain from revealing other people's personal information. Blatant shitposting, calling others out and 18+ material are allowed, for example.

Sounds like Flood++
Pretty much. You're welcome to check it out, but be warned.
Not while I'm on college campus, lol.
Most of the spectacular fun dies down after 3-4 hours. Then it just becomes The Flood with more relaxed rules. Most of the broken rules are with insulting/calling out users.

It's slowly dying from internal damage.
This is most likely the case. I remember this one time about a month ago where I sprayed this one spider, and it crawled to some point near the ceiling. It just stayed there for several days. Once I had concluded that it was dead, I decided to remove it with a tissue, and once I had removed it, I noticed that its abdomen was partially dissolved, and some of the liquified abdomen had stayed on the ceiling.
Yuck.
It was kind of gross, but it wasn't a spider of Australian proportions thankfully. It wasn't anything a single tissue swipe couldn't deal with.
Every country has big spiders.

As far as I can tell, you are not banned from Anarchy. Not sure if things are different this time around, but you might need the Beyond the Sea or Penguin Party nameplate to get in. Try requesting them and see what happens, I'll approve it for you.
I'm just using the default nameplate though, and I never requested any nameplate other than that.

So with the current advance in Idlib, how long do you think until we'll see another Latakia offensive?

I don't think we're too far off from that. Once AQ and Co take Ariha and the rest of the regimes towns, Latakia is the next logical advance.
I'm not sure that the rebels will advance in Latakia. Once Jaysh al-Fateh (what you're referring to as AQ and Co) takes what's left of the Idlib salient, it would make a lot more sense for them to deal with the long-besieged Abu ad-Duhur airbase not too far to the East. And once that happens, cutting off Aleppo's supply route also has far more strategic value than yet another incursion into Latakia. The Rebels already own enough of Latakia to humiliate the Regime, so an offensive there would be fairly useless. While with Aleppo, the regime's garrison there is far too large to resupply only with the airport, and I don't know if the regime has the resources to launch another offensive like the one they had in 2013 to reopen the road through Khanisir. The only downside of the Rebels taking Khanisir and the road to Aleppo is that they'll be put right next to IS, since they're just at the other side.

So yeah, I think we should be looking East rather than West once the Rebels take care of Ariha. The day when Ariha is cleared is coming soon. Rebels have already taken several checkpoints near the city, and the regime has next to nothing in their salient outside of Ariha. I'm predicting that Ariha will definitely be cleared by the end of June, and what's left of the regime down there will be mopped up within another month at most.

With the exception of Cypriot. Irish, and Maltese residents of the UK.

I obviously don't support this move, since I have relatives in the UK who are only Greek and French citizens. This decision is extremely unfair for people who already have the right to permanently live in the UK, but haven't chosen to acquire UK citizenship (which is totally useless if you're already an EU citizen).

I say we should hire willing Mercenaries to do the work
You do realize that the US hired a lot of mercenaries during the Iraqi War, and they performed miserably. It's a strategy that's not gonna work.
Alright. Then lets send our troops over even though many are unwilling to fight a fight we shouldn't be fighting. Nothing is more honorable than risking and possibly dying for someone else's nation.
When foreign adversaries like these can greatly affect the American homeland when left unchecked, yes, it's absolutely honorable to die in a preemptive action. These extremist Islamist groups aren't just the middle east's problem, they're our problem and our enemy too.
And who do you think originally created that threat? Who caused the Middle East to destabilize? Who trained Osama Bin Laden back in the Cold War era to help fight off the Soviet hold up in Afghanistan? Which nation creates as many problems as it tries to solve? Merica

Yeah. No.

1. Problems stem from colonialism.
2. CIA never touched UBL during Op. Cyclone. Didn't need to.

Does political party funding affect the results of an election and damage the individual's vote?

Uh, yes. It does, quite a bit.

I hardly see any Hollywood "socialists" spending $900 in one election cycle. However, even when they do it shouldn't be acceptable.
It's people not living in the US who masturbate to Capitalism and think that it's the best system ever despite the fact that they never even lived in an actually Capitalist country. This is something that Meta's also very guilty of.
What does this have to do with anything?  And the majority of the world is capitalist, so I don't know what you mean by "an actually Capitalist country".
Because there's a difference between capitalist countries and countries which use hybrid capitalist-socialist systems.
If your economy is based around spending and accruing wealth, it is necessarily capitalist.
Yeah, but Capitalism isn't some cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all economic system. There are systems of Capitalism which deviate significantly from its base form.
