I thought you guys burned through that thread awfully quickly... I only glanced at the last couple of pages.Axver said:Yeeeaaaahhh. Ali (un?)fortunately missed out on what went on in Tittybong.
I tried that. I also tried clicking OK about 5 billion times, to no avail. I should probably restart or something, but everything else seems fine so far...coolian2 said:Tell it to go "fuck" itself.

Something about peace and democracy? Sounds suspiciously Bonospeechy. Maybe if you included justice and equality....Axver said:I HAVE DONE SOME WORK.

So very wrong.

Alisaura said:Hello Bonnie, Ax and Ian, btw... and Liam too if he's still around.

Well, it all started with me accusing Liam of sleeping with inanimate objects as per usual. We compared Nicole Kidman to a porcelain doll and stuff like that. At one point, Liam said "I'd hit it" to something, I forget what. I responded "in 5/8?" (i.e. the time signature, referencing a Dream Theater joke, but baiting him with the intention of using it as an age in years). He replied "no, in 13/16", to which I called him a paedophile.
Things rapidly spiralled out of control once Ian made the worst joke in Superthread history: "as long as there is grass on the wicket"!

Alisaura said:So what form of government would Axver recommend to the world, in order to address/eliminate voilence?
Just checkingAxver said:Oh, I'm not seeking to condemn democracy. I'm arguing that the democratic peace thesis is at best an overly optimistic dream based on favourably chosen criteria, and at worst overlooks the failings of democracy. No political system could reasonably quell all sources of violence. Democracy does well, but let's not kid ourselves.

Axy would recommend anarcho-syndicalist communes.
I was thinking more of your usual benevolent dictatorship... the only issue is fighting over which of us gets to be the dictator.liamcool said:Axy would recommend anarcho-syndicalist communes.

I was actually perusing the anarchism section of the library at uni yesterday. There's a Tolstoy book there that I really need to read when I have the time.
But I'm a social democrat.

Beyond knowing that he's a Python, that reference just sailed straight past me into the mist.

Wish you hadn't been curious?
It was hilarious at the time, but so very, very wrong. And somehow it transitioned into postwhorehouse stats! We have such unique ways of seguing between topics here ...
