Quality rebuttal right here.

I take this as a compliment. Though I'm not (another thing you could have learned from consulting GoonSwarm first), there are worse people that one could be accused to be the alt of. ---- Darius Johnson, not MY CSM. |

You really are bent on thinking that anyone who dislikes the chair or you are a Goon/Goon alt/Goon friend? So Sad. :( »\(¦_o)/»

That's ironic considering you just have suspected me to be the alt of Jade on your previous post
Are you really bent on thinking that anyone who dislikes GoonSwarm(*) and their sycophants is a Jade alt. So sad

I voted for Jade, and no I don't regret my vote.
Expect any CSM chair to be a "walking drama bomb" - it comes with the position. You'll always have the people who love to pick apart every little action or word that the chair says and attempt to turn it against that person. And having other uncooperative members on the CSM doesn't help much. Jade just seems headstrong and willing to make his own decisions to me, which is something I would expect out of a chair (and out of Star Fraction, tbh). I can't see any reason people would want a uncontroversial and coincidentally indecisive person to chair the CSM.
So you don't agree with some of Jade's actions, and maybe he is particularly flippant to his detractors - so what? That doesn't make him the antichrist, which is what I'd expect given some of the bull**** spread between this forum and the Assembly Hall.

How could I not still love Hardin? Known him for five years and he's a top bloke who has a lot of common sense, which seems to be scarce these days.

I voted for Ank with one of my characters and Torn Soul with the other. I'm happy with both - Ank has been a pretty awesome secretary so far, and just because Torn Soul got voted *just* outside the alternate list doesn't mean I regret the vote. Her platform was right for whichever one of the characters it was that voted for her, and I'd vote for her again :)

I'm actually pretty proud of my Candidate. They were one of the three candidates I think acted appropriately during this whole debacle. The others need to learn how to listen when someone else is talking...then speak. Not just override everyone else and browbeat them when you don't like what they say. But really did anyone expect anything different. When you get something like this together, there will always be to many egos in the room.

I actually forgot who I voted for, but to be fair, it doesn't really matter who I did vote for, it only mattered when I was taking that vote. The voting is in essence a tool to get a diverse as possible group together that can address more then just one single issue. If all CSM members came from the same type of players, Pvpers, miners, traders, rpers, possers, you name it, I would have been sorely dissapointed. but so far I'm seeing lots of different issues and problems being pointed out, so I'm happy with whoever got my vote again.
No if only one of those CSM personalities would be so kind to champion the AF cause I'd be completely happy _________

Originally by: Willford Bremly Silencing people you don't agree with is communism. Thats not communication.

Actually I must be among the few ones here who, as westerner, experienced a frontal clash with communism, having to fight the general mindset & bureaucracy of a former Varsaw Pact member country when attempting to secure the relocation of a "communist" lady who became my wife, all this years before Glasnost & Perestroika kicked in and the wall finally fell.
Had to stay there over a year and ended learning the language (required if you really want to get things done).
And you know what ? I've moved my ass through enough countries to loose count, but I will not forget that except for stupid civil servants, I've never interacted with such humane individuals like citizens of these ex-WAPA nations.
It's that simple. When the system puts you in deep poo, you help each other. No money will ever compensate lost social brotherhood despite my fat wallet and I've since long learned that finances only allow you to fool yourself by buying delusions. If you're not wise enough to be happy with what you have, big or small, no amount of money will do it.
All that to say that most peeps have not the shadow of a clue when they talk about communism. Was communism bad ? Yes, in the way it was implemented. Could communism be a good thing ? Maybe, if individuals were advanced enough not to fall in the trap of replacing the influence of money with the mixed weight of a party affiliation card and a specific position. Where did I encounter the most genuinely happy people ? In these poor countries. Never found in the USA, Europe or the ME educated individuals who were simultaneously so sincerely aware about the mechanisms governing their societies, the limits that were artificially imposed to their development, and yet enjoyed their lives.
I've risked jail when smuggling PC's & modems at cost for students in order to enable a few of them to open a window to the outer world and get aware. It was my way of fighting communism. Now in the retrospective, all what capitalism brought there are a few guys who became stinking rich (all former exponents of the communist apparatus btw), and the rest is not only poorer than ever, but also struggling with an exponential criminality that didn't exist before.
So idiots can continue to ********** with their empty rhetoric & theories. I'll stand by my actions, RL experience, and regrets that I actively fought a system which, at the end, wasn't half so bad as the pro-capitalist lobby would let you believe.
Got that from a 70-years old farmer whose parents were executed by russians at the end of WW2 because they refused to have their land nationalized: "Before, I could talk and everybody would listen. Now I can scream and nobody pays attention".
And when talking about "Jade's controversial personality", well, at least he has one

"eurotrash" is a term almost exclusively used by US conservatives.
You are probably very proud of your flavor of "capitalism" which is so exquisitely sound that your economy needs a daily injection average of 2 billion USD of FOREIGN funds in order to avoid your sand castle to fall apart. But you would have known that provided would you enjoy any experience about operating with decent amounts of $$$, what automatically places you in the overcrowded realm of peeps who talk about societies, money & politics yet are too poor to abstract themselves from any of these at any given time and don't have the means to try something else somewhere else even if they wished to.
For example, your military budget is bigger than the military budgets of all other nations on Earth combined. Yet your troops still intermittently lack services & gear. A significant portion of this budget is allocated to R&D projects, which in the purest outsourcing tradition, end in the wallet of the military industrial lobby and its plethora of privately-owned businesses. So you can get back to me trumpeting the virtues of your system the day you find out for yourself which is the % of combined direct & indirect taxes your people pays which directly contributes on short or medium term to your daily life quality. FYI, scheme like these are called "indirect subventions". So talk about socialism...
The post you refer to was deemed to explain that nowadays, you can get a bullet in the head for peanuts as easy in the US as former WAPA countries, when it wasn't like that before. Since most individuals don't have the luxury to wander around with bodyguards or armored cars, it's the majority who suffers from precarious social conditions. The difference between the systems under the perspective of individual physical integrity was that in WAPA countries, as long you didn't mess with politics, you were safe, unlike the US and other capitalist nations where it all boils down to being in the wrong spot at the wrong moment.
Funnily enough, the country which enjoys the best ratio of wealth management vs population is Switzerland, a tiny country managing 33% of the world's assets. Did you ever visit Switzerland ? It's a nice country, where citizens enjoy such a wide array of state benefits that from a US conservative perspective you could as well tag them as communists...
