[A4CP] The Decline of Canadian Politics

Day 1,377, 06:02 • Published in Canada Pakistan

• by Frodo Tea Baggins

Mediocrity. It's too easy to describe the poitical climate in eCanada these days. Congress only serves one purpose these days, to discuss taxes to death and figure out how much money they can get for themselves. Those are the active members the rest got their 5 gold and don't care beyond to blindly click the vote button on occasion.

The executive hasn't done much better, rehashing the same old ideas. Let's do the same thing we did last time, toss out some half assed communication and it's genius right?

I can take a lot of critisism and it doesn't bother me. People jump to the conclusion I'm suddenly anti this and anti that because I question things. This is believe it or not how gov't should work. Without questioning things what is there but a large circle jerk of 'YES men'. By the same note I also expect when someone accepts a job of responsibility they should be active at that job. I make no apologies for expecting them to be active.

Not 8 months ago none of what goes on would fly. Parties would be in an uproar at the first mistake, demanding someone's head. Back then people actually made an effort to improve things, to make the game more interesting. Now it's all seems to be about 'What do I get'. The ironic part is that they claim it in the name of player retention when in fact it could be equally put that it's just a bunch of splintered groups trying to retain the players they have. The community as a whole is being left to die.

What does this have do with the price of bread in Alaska?

On Sept 5th I plan to run for CP. I am still excepting applications for cabinet positions. I will stand for an active gov't. If you think you active enough and willing enough I ask you to join me. If you are tired of seeing lackluster approaches and lazy gov'ts I ask you to consider voting for me. I'll work on some policy articles in the coming week as this wall of text has drawn on long enough.

The only thing the government is about these days is Natural Enemies and giving money to select citizens (MU's). Aside from that, what else is there at this point?

Hitoyoshi Day 1,377, 08:23

I approve this article o>

Ehab Day 1,377, 08:32

" I can take a lot of critisism and it doesn't bother me. "

Are you sure from that ??? all i 've witnessed that you are easily loosing your temper ,i even remember that you admitted that before even i saw you many time getting mad from simple criticism ,so are you beginning your CP campaign with a big lie ,lmao

S.DaN Day 1,377, 08:40

He lost his temper because of unnecessary questions which were consuming his time while he was busy as SC of TERRA, he didn't lost his temper because someone had criticise him with arguments.

crisfire Day 1,377, 10:41

Did I miss the circle jerk of Yes Men?

pity.

It might even be worth it to see the drama

Mr. Mesmer Day 1,377, 11:23

So wait, let me get this straight. This decline in Canadian politics is because Aeriala's being considered as a serious candidate for CP, right?

Prince A.Joseph Day 1,377, 11:25

Good luck

"He lost his temper because of unnecessary questions which were consuming his time while he was busy as SC of TERRA, he didn't lost his temper because someone had criticise him with arguments."

Aeriala loses his temper all the time. And it's not because people are asking him questions while he's busy with other stuff. If you look through his past articles and some of the stuff he posted in congress last month you can see what I'm talking about.

I'm not saying he's wrong for having a short fuss, but I am saying you're wrong for trying to say he doesn't have one.

S.DaN Day 1,377, 13:19

I was not talking generally that he doesn't have short fuss, I was referring to a concrete case. Back in June, when Aeriala was SC of TERRA, ehab asked him in Congress if can he say something more about his business in alliance and then Aeriala insulted him pretty badly.

Aeriala is tempered man. I could not deny that. I didn't say otherwise. And yes he lost his control when you banned him from Congress last month.

But from my personal experience I know that he can take argumented and objective critics very well. And he told that in article, I will quote: ''I can take a lot of critisism and it doesn't bother me''

I was sending long argumented scolding pm to him very often and he always read that messages and thought about what I said. Several times I was very harsh, I even said that he is acting like a cow or b*itch and he never insulted me.

But my message was not looking like this: ''B*TCH YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AND YOU FAIL EVERY TIME.''

They were looking like this:
''Man, you are doing it wrong…'' - and then arguments and elaboration why and what is he doing wrong.
Your alternatives are…'' – and then elaboration of his alternatives.

Maybe he will not say hello to me on chat or even show any sort of gratitude but when someone present his argument accordingly he will analyze that message and even change his attitude or opinion.

Frodo Tea Baggins Day 1,377, 13:49

Actually I never insulted ehab. I did make one of my strongly eorded posts and ehab took exception to it. He made a rather strong comeback to me which basically I ignored. I have never took exception nor even really cared. I do make strongly worded posts, I'm not afraid to speak out and in VERY definite terms. In the end it means very little, I'm not really mad I just say my peace and move on. Again this is just a case that's more confusion than anything.
