“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

It's a Huntsman. They're totally harmless.

Now Black Widows, on the other hand...

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Stop drinking so much liquor then.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody.

Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I lost hope in society years ago when I started to notice that if todays teens remain the same into adulthood this world is fethed.

If by 'Santa's Elves' you mean the Seneca people, then sure. We also inflicted 97.4% casualties on the United States Army. A feat, I might point out, that no military has ever since equaled. (Take THAT Herr Rommel!)

No but that's a wonderful idea.

I just like the "Don't worry, be happy" engraved into it.

Nice. The BAR's key-chain is an SD B-Rabbit from Pandora Hearts. They didn't have Hello Kitty.

Ever used TA5s? They're too short for barrel ornaments, but I've been considering doing some engraving work on the drums.

Well, I assume they had to go somewhere after being relocated.

But you’re not at war. You’re on an internet message board. In this context cute trinkets look less like a part of battle garb on more like cute trinkets.

Um....actually, friend dogma, we still hold parts of our sovereign territory (amusingly, the US Government had to pay us half a billion dollars in reparations for the parts of it we don't have anymore). Unlike some less fortunate peoples.

Since you obviously know little about it, come to our tax free gas stations and casinos in New York state and learn about us.

True, the internet does lack things like the realization imminent danger that the real world provides. And internet message boards ARE a battleground. Have you been over on /tg/?

The Treaty of Buffalo Creek wasn't very nice to you vis a vis relocation.

True. And people do talk about the waste of young men's lives on pointless fights. That probably happens in war too.



Oh, and Dogma you've got a quote from the Baron attributed to me.

Germanic people honestly I think of the Huns or Goths or etc.

The Hun's were not German, the Huns were from Mongolia, they got tired of trying to break down his gakky wall, and then decided to try and kill some Romans....

And the Vikings are descendants of our Lumberjacks. In the not so far future, we developed a time machine, took it to L'Anse Aux Meadows in Newfoundland. After arriving in the past we realized how bad ass the Natives truly are, and we decided we didn't want to share our beer with them, and then sailed across the ocean in Long Boats and took over Scandinavia, over the generations forgetting what happened, and the cycle repeats....
