We Are Better Than That
•
by Tyler Jenkins
As war rages on and territories are lost, both sides rhetoric has intensified. When the battles began we had one side calling PEACE evil and another calling the eUSA evil. Now? I'm seeing real life hatred creep into the game. No longer is it that the eUSA evil, but rather, the USA. I just read an article that called Hungarians a number of ignorant names, and quite frankly, we should not be tolerating this.
Just last year, I was in Hungary. I found it to be a beautiful country full of friendly people. I have been lucky enough to see a lot of the world and in all my travels, and the majority of people I've met were just like those I met on that trip to Hungary...they were nice people.
One of my favorite experiences while traveling took place at a pub in Victoria Station in London. While waiting on our train, a friend of mine and myself struck up a conversation with an Irishman. Before long, we had a Frenchman, a Dutchman, a Brit, two Germans, a Lithuanian, and a Pakistani all sitting our table. Conversation soon turned to their thoughts of my home country, the USA. "We love America. We just don't like some of your governments policies" was the general consensus.
The point of that story? While we may/may not like the policies of some our leaders, we still should show respect to our fellow human beings, both in life and on this game of ours. The fact is, many Americans are good people, just as many Hungarians, Indonesians, Canadians, Brits, and others are good people.
So, while I'm all for kicking eHungary's (and all of PEACE) butt in this war, we need to remember that this is just a game and should not allow real life hatred to creep in. There's no room for ignorance here and quite frankly, we're better than allowing it in this game of ours.

Tell 'em Tyler!
I have a real life friend, who is perhaps, one of the most beautiful people in the world... she from Hungary. So, personally, I take great offense to people trashing Hungary, just as I do when people trash the USA, China, Ireland, Botswana.
This is a social game, people. Let's be civil and have fun.
Everybody lies. Even your friends. Will you say to a foreigner face to face that his country is a mistake? Of course not.
Well...if you want read shit, read your pal's articles in the Iron Curtain hurts. Read it, cause I will reported this prick Clayton Royal...

I absolutely agree. It is a great game, but just a game. Still I do not see the point in kicking each other all the times.
And I am Hungarian, by the way 🙂
Hamster, the Wild
Ikarti you bigot!
Anyway, this article has made me think more of most Americans, and emphisised my hatred of the US government and how they brain wash certain citizen groups to be racist bums. (not bum(s) as in homless person(s)).
Agreed. Let's vote this one to the top.
words of gold, man!
Peace in the world, literally this time.

Good Article, voted.
Finally some wise words from the eUSA media.
Nice one.

Remember it's a game. Show some class. Sometimes the other guy/gal is better than you.
voted. Excellence within this text.

I disagree strongly.
The admins put real borders in the game, you cannot expect us to ignore RL politics.
@ Brian Boru: Whether in game or out, we should all show respect to each other. There's no room for hatred in this world or game. Suggesting it's ok to hate someone because the game is set up with real life borders is ignorant, in my opinion.
Good onya mate!
Well said
Voted! I will shout this link! 🙂
Please read about the motives of the other side:

No need for hatred, as this game should remain what it is, and everybody should act for the LULZ 😃
so true you would be a great politician +1
Voted! Long live PEACE! 🙂
people are still people, no matter where you're from 🙂
Words of wisdom. This comment is coming from a Romanian citizen with Hungarian nationality.
There was so much hatred in the past between these two ecountries, that I almost quit the game at one point.
There are many nice and great people in the eUSA, eHungary and eRomania, and this RL hatred has no place here. Voted full heartedly.
Great artical.
