@TNP Dude, we've already seen your salad dressing.

@Aria Two years? Christ, I hope you brought snacks.

@Ex-FaviIIa-Surgo said in RL Anger:

untermenschen

Oh, sorry. I didn't realise you were actually braindead.

Also, it's always capitalised: Untermenschen. If you're going to insult me, do it properly.

@Ex-FaviIIa-Surgo No, you're just being a fucking moron.

@Ex-FaviIIa-Surgo Sub-human?

@WildBaboons Sorry, I shouldn't take the piss.

@Auspice Sounds like you're having a... crappy time.

@RayneDev It has been on its last legs for what seems like forever. Is the terrible duo still running things, or have they taken a step back to focus on their arguing?

This video always makes my day better.

@Lain It depends on where you are and what it is you're afraid of, naturally. Though Christianity might well be bland and acceptable in the 'western' world, in many parts of Christian Africa (especially Uganda, the "most Christian nation in Africa") homosexual acts are punishable by imprisonment and death.

@Ghost I had kangaroo for dinner...

@Arkandel It depends what I went into the story looking for. If it's something to while away the time, say on a commute, I go for realism (in so far as the characters are realistic, three-dimensional, with development) over anything else. I don't typically hold an agenda when I read, and it sometimes troubles me when the author does.

That said, I often use stories as a way to live lives I'll never encounter - I'm a big fan of historical fiction for this reason. So typically I enjoy stories more centered around my more fantastic interests. Travel, sailing, getting the girl-and-or-boy in the end. I'm a bit of a sap.

I don't usually engage in shipping - and I abhor people that ship real-life persons - but I do like romantic subplots. So long as they make sense.

@Arkandel An important part many writers, be they in a roleplay sense or an authorial sense, seem to forget is that every narrative must have an end.

@Lain Then you definitely don't need a big hullabaloo that infects the world when you have your Primaries.

@Lain Then the voting should be either entirely open, or entirely closed. If you want 'the people' to pick your candidate, it's no longer an internal affair. if you want only those who are members of your party to pick your candidate, then you don't need a song and dance number. Hand out an information packet and get the members to vote.

@Lain Convoluted.

But I am resident in Australia, where voting is mandatory. Enforceably mandatory.

@Lain Abstaining is also a foreign and preposterous notion to me. So different our relatively similar countries are.

@Lain I never said that it was a cause of problems. I just find the requirement of registering some kind of allegiance to be utterly preposterous. Secret ballots only work if they're actually secret.

@Lain It's how your country works. It's still fucking stupid.
