Democracy Wins or Mirage Censorship Bid
Customs of Dahomey
Editors Note: Now with democracy restored an a duly elected congressplayer, I have rejoined the SFP, I have no intention of dropping my plans of forming a party sans forum dwellers. I well finish the month out, in case any other fellow elected SFPer wants to try and make a difference. Having joined congress with forum dwellers in the SFP caucus I do not hold out any hope of the SFP caucus debating or doing anything I would agree with.
The eUS forum promotes NIHILISM, BULLYING and RACISM. The owner of the forum HATES eRepublik, and isn't hate equally as passionate as love. You but have to think of it as a circle, with genuinely disinterested being the polar opposite of passionate, and the realization is he is overly passionate about the game, which isn't healthy. As a community, we should help this fellow and move our game's discussions elsewhere. Shouldn't we?
Players wanting citizenship request granted should comment below, we can hold a public hearing on your request in the comments. Only an idiot (and a mean one at that) thinks we need an offsite forum for anything beyond cruelty.

POLEADO!!!!!!!!
"NIHILISM, BULLYING and RACISM" - I've seen the bullying first hand, I know this to be true. But Racism and Nihilism? Da Faq? How can you be racist if you don't know the race of another individual? Sure you can hold racist ideas and beliefs but you can't actually be a racist to someone Also, Nihilism? I doubt a forum for a country within a browser game is trying to promote a philosophical point of view. The scare mongering is obvious. If you have a political agenda to push go take it to the forums, don't clog up my news feed.
P.S. I'm no congressman but I'm pretty sure using this article to grant citizenship is a violation of standard protocol
you funny, you like seeing nothing but BH notices? Jew baiting, I thought was racism... Worshiping the death of the game = nihilism no?
standard protocol has driven the eUS to 10th place, are you suggesting we should go lower?
cheers
"you like seeing nothing but BH notices?" Battle Hero notices... wtf? One: I clearly said "News Feed". Two: I haven't fought anywhere for like 6 months let alone enough to win a BH.
"Jew baiting, I thought was racism" I really don't understand this sentence, from what I can gather from it you're either antisemitic or you think Jews are a Race. I hope its not the first one so lets pretend its the second one. -Clears Throat-... Jews... are not a race, they're a religious group. Yes, They have developed an ethnic culture but ethnic groups are also not races. If there is no Race involved there cannot be racism.
On to point 3. Death, especially in reference to this game, has nothing to do with Nihilism. Nihilism is the belief that nothing matters, there are no truths, and all existence is futile.
"standard protocol has driven the eUS to 10th place, are you suggesting we should go lower?" - I don't agree with a rule so I won't follow it... try this in real life and see where that takes you.
thanks for the laugh
So Hitler killed only people that were know to go to synagogues, by your logic he spared anyone nonpracticing...
Forgive me for confusing shouts and news feed, we were down to only seven articles on the news feed, guess you want none...
RL comment, I definitely practice breaking rules, how did we end segregation in this country, get out of Vietnam, allow women to vote, need more examples? You do realize the Constitution of the USA is always being interpreted, as it was meant to be. Do you know the history of the eUS, I do, I've played it for years and have no respect for rules deny participation by those just wanting to. If you want to live in a police state, I do not deny your right to vote for it.
the crime of hate against a race or religion is of the same order of magnitude
so yeah, semantics arent really important
but if you want to know jews are semitic people, and antisemithism is racism. so unless you hate jews and love palestinians you are racist xD and if its the other way around you are hamas terrorist, so lose/lose situation really xD
Growing up, my family (I am not Jewish, but a descendant of one) were proud of Israel surviving, the treatment of Palestinians was a shameful episode and eroded our support of the Israeli government,
"So Hitler killed only people that were know to go to synagogues, by your logic he spared anyone nonpracticing.." That's a strawman if I've ever seen one. I never even mentioned Hitler, I usually try to avoid to as it tends to fall under Godwin's Law. Also, Hitler killed more than jews, he killed homosexuals and slavs a well. But none of that is relevant.
" I definitely practice breaking rules" - The difference here is that you're a congress man, a man in a seat of power, you're not some sad little sap sitting down in the gutter. The rules you're trying to violate are there to keep this country safe. You now hold power... learn to respect it or you will lose it.
are you for real, just admit you agree with those trying to destroy the game because it changed in ways that disappointed them
"The rules you're trying to violate are there to keep this country safe"
from what the bogeyman?
the players (forum dwellers) are the ones that made the rules (that they break on a whim) and have invited Ajay and the owls into the eUS. What is wrong with opposing their hypocrisy with democracy?
number one... mirage, you are right and wrong.... judaism is a religion, however, unless one is a convert to judaism, a jew is a jew by race, whether religious or not...
trite, jews don't rely on hitler to decide who is a jew and who is not...
ps. can you explain your "jew baiting" comment?
I agree with you, I am not Jewish, my paternal grandfather was, In the south (were I live) when I explain my name, I am labelled one (I am blue eyed and lilly white, btw).
I find it hilarious that a non-Jew can defined a culture, that not only spawned two of the world's most influential religions, but also has survived persecution for over 2,000 years.
I went to the forums upon being elected to congress, started a thread, admittedly a silly one, with a poll, asking for monies. The poll was edited, with a Jews option. I deleted the poll.
It's a region, in Israel. People who live there are called Jews.
just looked at a map of Judea, and discovered it is just east of Philadelphia http://www.zionism-israel.com/maps/Palestine_Maccabees.htm
You're confusing an ethnic group with a racial group. Saying Jews are a separate race is like saying Christians are a separate race.
You are just confused... The Jews consider anyone born to a Jewish mother Jewish, it is as simple as that. You never need to step into a synagogue to be Jewish. Please explain what ethnic group I should use to insult my Jewish relatives with? Of course, if you had RL balls you good go to a synagogue and make your arguments...
I am actually jewish (the poll with the jews option.... doesn't bother me... probably shouldn't be done in forum, but its a joke albeit a stupid one)
Jews (except for converts) trace their lineage back to abraham (hence the sons of abraham). That, to my knowledge is exactly the definition of a race.
trite is correct that we race our lineage through out mothers....
Wow, this came just in time.
I was going to give up after my first request expired.
So about me. I'm from Belgium and i played a few years back.
I rejoined last week to find Belgium is gone. Like wiped from the map gone.
Since all my old friends and attachments are gone in Belgium i'd rather join Usa in my new start.
I'm active almost daily and not afraid of spending some rl cash if the promotion is good.(Bought the new monthly gold packages.)
I hope to stand with you guys on the battlefield soon.
If not, no hard feelings.
Cheers.
I message the two players whose request where about to expire, I apologize I did not have more time. Please try again. The forum dwellers, do hate this game and, I believe their game is to deny others any opportunity to enjoy it. What is the point of closed borders? And before staring an argument with me, consider the elites invited Ajay Bruno into the eUS, and the Owls. I think it absurd that no one else gets in, unless a forum dweller wishes them in.
This isn't directed at trite but at those "forum dwellers" he talks about.
I'm going to be honest. i may be a noob on this game but i'm not on others.
When i asked for citizenship i did it properly and filled in the forum.
I also didn't war at all while waiting for a reponse as to not accidently attack USa or it's allies.
Now i know that doesn't mean i deserve a guarenteed spot in USA.
I understand that really if i don't make it no hard feelings.
But for pete's sake could you at the very least send me a message or something i didn't make it.
I got no response whatsoever is it really that hard to send a message saying. "sorry your request for citizenship has been denied please do not try again or respond to this message."
That's it it's really not that difficult.
I'd like to say this as a gamer not as a erepublik citizen.
I'm sorry i'm to low lvl for you to give some of your precious time.
Your what's wrong with gaming.
Peace!
We can work on this today.
https://www.erepublik.com/en/country/USA/citizenship/applications/1
only four applicants, any meet your approval
I don't approve them, I simply nudged those who do.
not being a forum dweller, means you won't deign me your advice?
I don't evaluate citizenship applications, but you're free to twist that into a personal slight if you so choose.
trite you seem very uninformed about how anything works in the eUSA... it almost sounds like you are just repeating things others have told you...
I understand you may have had an unpleasant experience in the forums, and everyone (yes even the "elites") goes through that from time to time, but that pretty much goes on in any forum on the internet.... if is the thing that gets to you you may as well shut your comp....
"Henry Pfeiffer Arundel We can work on this today."
I am pursuing this statement
@shadowber, Are you suggesting I allow myself to be walked on here, because it happens all over the internet? Please do not confuse, one incident for the general behavior, and why let one small group decide everything for the rest of us, for no other reason, they have lied, bullied and cheated there way into this position. I know I am beating a dead horse, because I haven't the desire to out spend them or even to attempt cheating like some of them have.
A side note, I have learned a lot about trolling, which has helped on other sites. I have witness the general decline of communities across the internet, via trolls. What is the saying, don't forget history least it repeats itself.
Forgive me for being a dreamer and Don Quixotesque
\o/
Wut da fuk is going on here????
I stopped reading at this point "I agree with you, I am not Jewish, my paternal grandfather was, In the south (were I live) when I explain my name, I am labelled one (I am blue eyed and lilly white, btw)."
What color eyes and skin are Jews supposed to have???
vermilion and thalo green, or magenta and whatever you want...
what do you want besides to troll me?
obviously you are here to simply troll the eUSA, especially Congress, like a fungus that won't completely die... over the years this style has just become a complete bore.
If anyone is reading this,my response to this guy who is flaunting the rules of congress is simple. PASS A LAW IN OUR CODE THAT HOLDS ANY PARTY WHO NOM'S THIS REPEAT OFFENDER RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS REPEAT OFFENSES BY BANNING THE ENTIRE PARTY FROM HAVING VOICE IN CONGRESS PUBLIC AND A COMPLETE BAN FROM CONGRESS PRIVATE
yelling now, joy
I signed up as Poland not realizing that it was actually Polish people that I can't communicate with, so I'd like to join and fight for the good ol' USA. Thanks!
granted, leaving me two to grant
good luck, it can be a nasty place this eUS, reading the previous comments probably clued you in to that
Haha, I wouldn't expect anything less on a political site.
