Agree with you 100% on the favorite person.

I am a long-time Orioles fan, which is about the most depressing thing you can be.  I used to listen to O's games on the radio every night back in the 80s when we lived in Bowie.  Now, whenever I hear Jon Miller on ESPN, I still think I'm listening to the O's.

opebo, you've probably answered this a lot, but I've never read it.  Why are you in Thailand?

I prefer living here to living the the States:  better climate, much better food, and Thai women are nice.  Most importantly I can live like a king here on my income, instead of merely middle class like back home.  For example living in a hotel a few steps from the beach costs about $180 a month with maid service, and a delicious meal - with fresh ingredients (something you don't find in the US) costs about $1.

But though Thailand is my favorite, there are many other countries I'd like to try, particularly in South America generally.

Interesting, what's crime like there?

There is so little crime it is almost uncanny.  Most people attribute it to the Buddhist culture. 

Near Japanese rarity of crime, even though the country is fairly poor (percapita GDP around 2500 I think).

Agree with you 100% on the favorite person.

I am a long-time Orioles fan, which is about the most depressing thing you can be.  I used to listen to O's games on the radio every night back in the 80s when we lived in Bowie.  Now, whenever I hear Jon Miller on ESPN, I still think I'm listening to the O's.

I'm young enough and I STILL think of the Orioles when I hear Miller...He's got one of the best voices for announcing in all of sports.

I still stick by the Orioles -- even though they suck. Palmeiro is my all-time favorite player (got to meet him in person years ago at a "Baysox vs Orioles" game. I was jaw-dropped and he jokingly replied "I'm his cousin."

That is exactly where they moved. :) Since slavery was still legal in Brazil at the time they were hoping to restart their plantations and many also moved their because they couldn't imagine living under a federal government that had destroyed the original US Constitution.

opebo, you've probably answered this a lot, but I've never read it.  Why are you in Thailand?

I prefer living here to living the the States:  better climate, much better food, and Thai women are nice.  Most importantly I can live like a king here on my income, instead of merely middle class like back home.  For example living in a hotel a few steps from the beach costs about $180 a month with maid service, and a delicious meal - with fresh ingredients (something you don't find in the US) costs about $1.

But though Thailand is my favorite, there are many other countries I'd like to try, particularly in South America generally.

You should try Somalia.

Ilikeverin got it right, sort of. Asatru is a generic term for a number of very, very closely religions based on Germanic heathenism. I tend to follow the Anglo-Saxon branch, mostly because I'm 96% British, but Scandinavian and Pan-Germanic versions are also popular.

We are polytheistic, and believe in Woden, Thunor, Frigga, and such. And while Asatruars are generally conservative (infinitly more so than the ultra-liberal wiccans, to say the least), I imagine we'd probably scare the hell out of the religious right. :D

Ever read The Screwtape Letters, Nation?  Quite a piece of work there.



Ahh, I've read parts of it. An amazing piece of work indeed -- Mere Christianity is one of the best books I've ever read, and his pieces on love, grief, etc always make me happy.

Are you sure you're not "black Irish"? Those were Irish that mixed with Spaniards when the Spanish Armada wrecked on the Irish coast.

Myth.  Inhabitants of Western Ireland have always had a prevalence for dark hair /light eyes and geneticists believe these are the original pre-celtic inhabitants of Ireland.  The Welsh have these traits even more than Western Irish- look at Catherine Zeta Jones and Tom Jones.  There might have been a few Spanish that made it to Irish shores but they did not significantly change genes.  Interestingly, the Irish share a lot of genetic markers with the Basques.

States trust me it is a myth.  It is the probably the product of an overactive Irish imagination and love for the tall tale.  Inhabitants of Western Ireland do tend to have darker hair than E. Ireland but the complexion is usually pale and eyes light.  There are exceptions of course. 

http://www.darkfiber.com/blackirish

Many Irish had dark hair etc long before the Spanish Armada in 1588.  Genetic information points to this trait being from the original inhabitants of Ireland around 8000-9000 years ago long before the Celtic invasions.

She may be of Irish descent that happens to originally come from Spain but the common assertion that dark hair and other traits comes from the Armada is patently false.  Traits are seen in Paleolithic inhabitants and descendants  of Ireland and Wales.  Again look at Tom Jones or Catherine Zeta Jones who are Welsh.  No Armada or Spanish invasion there.

I'm young enough and I STILL think of the Orioles when I hear Miller...He's got one of the best voices for announcing in all of sports.

That SOB Peter Angelos basically fired him.  I think it is safe to say that Angelos is not my favorite person.

I still stick by the Orioles -- even though they suck. Palmeiro is my all-time favorite player (got to meet him in person years ago at a "Baysox vs Orioles" game. I was jaw-dropped and he jokingly replied "I'm his cousin."

I still can't believe Bowie has a AA team.  They stared play several years after we moved to Wisconsin.

The sad thing about the O's is that they have no excuse for their suckage.  At least the Brewers can claim the whole small market / small payroll sob story.  The O's spend a fortune for their 70 wins year after year.  Still, I stand by them... and my Cubbies in the NL.

According to surveys done by various Welsh Governmental offices and stuff, the stereotype of people in Wales (according to people in England) is:

"A land of short dark men singing hymns in the shadow of slag heaps"

This was the case in the '50's as well. Probably before then.

Actually, it is called the Society of Friends. Quaker is like Mormon in the sense that what the adherents are called seems odd in view of the actual name of the denomination.

I know that.
It's because George Fox once told a magistrate to "tremble before the word of the Lord" that they gained that name.

No evolution
Sometimes it depresses me
The same old same
Oh we keep repeating history
The institution curses curiosity
It's our conviction
Sex is not the enemy

I won't feel guilty
No matter what they're telling me
I won't feel dirty and buy into their misery
I won't be shamed cause I believe that love is free
It fuels the heart and sex is not the enemy

A revolution is the solution

There's two types of people: Those who absolutely love "Ring of Fire," and "Folsom Prison Blues," and those who don't.

I'm part of the former, as I'm sure you are too :)

As a fan of (I would assume) Alt-rock Clay, have you heard his cover of the NIN song "Hurt?" It's even better than the original.

His cover of "Hurt" is better than the original, yes... I love that song.  But I like the older songs too.  As a matter of fact, at this very moment, I'm listening to "Cocaine Blues."

Johnny Cash is nothing short of amazing. I've listened to him since I was little. It's really hard to pick out a favorite although "Cocaine Blues" is up there.

Have any of you seen the trailer for the Cash film, "Walk the Line", with Jaoquin(sp?) Pheonix as Cash? From the looks of the trailer, he pulls it off and has a voice thats similar to Cash's own.

You were born on LI and moved to CT? I was born in CT and eventually moved to LI! After I lived in OH and CA but thats beyond the point.

The biggest group in Connecticut is ex-New Yorkers. Long Island got too crowded so over the past 30 years they've been moving here. We're even starting to get some good delis and pastry shops, used to have to go down to the Island for the good stuff like cannolis.

I'm also an ex-New Yorker.  I moved to Connecticut from Westchester County because I couldn't afford a decent place to live in Westchester.

I've never regretted the move.  I prefer Connecticut over New York now, and wouldn't move back even though I could afford a good house in Westchester County now.

Well, they were my thoughts, because I've never read the Philly Inquierer. Remember, I'm a Pittsburgher. And I don't see how it's word for word. I didn't even say the same century or the same way as the Philly paper did.

But I'm glad to know that a newspaper agrees with me.

The Inquirer is probably the most quoted paper in the state. Also, many left wing groups have been using that quote in their ads. About a month or two ago, Politics1.com had that ad on their homepage. Also, notice how I said you took it almost word for word (which is true).

I just found it odd that you'd use a line so similar and then deny that you've seen it.

I LOVE House!  It's so hilarious!  My favorite line was when Foreman was gonna die and Cameron said to House, "He's black!"  and House responded with, "Cameron!  How long have you been withholding this information?"

House reminds me of Fezzy in person (not all the time, but the sarcastic, uber-logical parts).

It's surprising more people don't watch it.

Wait a few years and don't give up.  It will get better for heavier guys as they get older.  Just show success or the fact you will be, a personality, and know how to treat a woman and you will be fine.  I also dare say you should assess your standards and plan accordingly if you know what I mean.  Of my past 5 dates only one has in normal weight range and she had some personality issues such as she didn't get out much and was scared to death of the city.  She was also very timid when I dance with her at McFadden's.

They were breaking up with you anyway.  It seems like bullsh**t excuses as to why.  I've gotten what I did for a living along with living with parents as another good one.  I only accepted a few reasons, most of them are excuses.  I once had a grad student who was bogged down and I could tell in her voice she really was so I bought it.  The one after that said she had work the next morning at 8 and I asked her to go to another bar in Manayunk.  I didn't buy that because I said we'd go for drinks after dinner and she said nothing about work before.  You have to think in terms of whether you buy it or you don't.  I don't know your situation but you have to move on.

Wow, a hard-core redneck-style Southerner who happens to be Roman Catholic.  That's a rarity.  For some reason, I always thought you were Southern Baptist or a member of some other Protestant.  I guess based on my travels and contacts with the Deep South, I always thought of it as a solidly Protestant area.  Other than a few Louisiana soldiers of French descent, I bet Catholics were a very small minority in the Confederate forces.

What about the thousands of Maryland soldiers? Also, I believe Patrick Cleburne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Cleburne) was Catholic as well. Also, the Catholic Church and the Confederate States (http://www.sspx.ca/Angelus/2005_June/Catholic_Church_Confederate_States.htm). Pope Pius IX supported the confederacy and saw the American North as having "threatening tendencies" (probably because of the Norths' harsh repression of Judiasm and Irish Catholicism).

It is said that the American Civil war was just an extension of the conflicts between the British, Scots, Irish and Welsh. The North, was of course, dominated by people of British stock descent, while the south was a whole hodgepodge of groups, mainly Scots-irish/Scots/irish/welsh. I believe their was actually a mix of Irish Catholics with the other groups you've mentioned. For example my wifes ancestors were all Protestants of Irish descent.

Other than a few Louisiana soldiers of French descent, I bet Catholics were a very small minority in the Confederate forces.

What about the thousands of Maryland soldiers? Also, I believe Patrick Cleburne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Cleburne) was Catholic as well. Also, the Catholic Church and the Confederate States (http://www.sspx.ca/Angelus/2005_June/Catholic_Church_Confederate_States.htm). Pope Pius IX supported the confederacy and saw the American North as having "threatening tendencies" (probably because of the Norths' harsh repression of Judiasm and Irish Catholicism).

Was your wife Protestant?  It would be interesting if she converted, since I always thought that usually it's the husband who converts to the wife's religion.  This happened with both President Bush and his brother, as well as my parents.

I take it the Catholicism came from the Austrian branch of your family.

I didn't know I had to Convert  :P

Actually I am still United Methodist--albeit I haven't been to church lately.To answer the main question, the Irish who fought for the Confederacy were  almost exclusively of protestants of Northern Irish Descent, their  ancestors of course being largely Scots-Irish Presbyterians and Anglo-Irish Episcopalians .  Most of these soldiers had  descended from Soldiers who fought with Washington in the Revolutionary War--as had my family.  Now, in some states, Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, there were enclaves of Catholic Confederates, but they were far outnumbered by those of Protestant descent.  Of course, that was a direct opposite of the Union forces where the Irish soldiers were primarily Catholic. 

As far as famous Celtic Confederates:  Patrick Cleburne, PGT Beauregard, Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jonathon Jackson(of Ulster Descent), JEB Stuart, and Jubal Early to name a few.

That didn't happen in my family, although my mom would've left Catholicism anyway. If it weren't for that I doubt either one would've. I know of plenty of mixed marriages where neither one converted, so it's usually not an issue.

Neat.  I'd really like to get into geneaology someday.  I know a rough history of my family, but lately I've been asking my grandmother a lot of questions about my mother's side.  She's in her 80s and, well, you've got to grab these opportunities while you still can.

When my aunt had died, she gave me all of her books and records on our family tree.  I look at it and can't make heads or tails out of it.  I think I need to hire someone to sit down, create a database, and let them plug all of this data in and create a "tree" from there.  However, some parts which I was able to read and understand was how my great great grandfather was a miner in England, some of my relatives were indoctrinated with the Cherokee shortly before they were forced to travel down the Trail of Tears, and some of my relatives were a part of the Shelton gang in Illinois during prohibition.  Outside of that, it's just names, dates, and places for generations of my relatives and their in-laws.

It's not so bad depending on where you stay. In Houston, where I was born and raised, the humidity is enough to make you maim other people. Austin whether is much like California whether, sunny and dry. Dallas has the best whether, and actually has seasons.

O_O Whoa!! I'm a big Packers and Seahawks fan too!!! :o (As evidenced by their helmets in my siggy) :P

But for baseball, I'm pretty much a Mariner fan. The D-Backs are my second favorite team, but I don't identify as a D-Backs fan. I always root for the M's no matter who they play.

For football, whenever the Pack and Hawks play, no matter who wins, I'm happy. :) Though I hate to see one knock the other out of the playoffs. I love both teams, so that's why I identify myself as a Packer and Seahawk fan.

Who's your favorite 2008 candidate from the 2 major parties? Obama
What city did you grow up in? Stupidly vague question. Do you mean where I was born? Pasadena California. "Grew up" is way too vague.
Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex? If you count really effeminate guys that I thought were girls, then yes.
If you could pick your own nationality, what nationality would you pick? I like America. I also like Canada and England. And let's not forget Japan where I'll probably study abroad. Or two. Ha~!

well, REM are just mainstream liberal. RAtM and Audioslave are revolutionary Socialists.

Post by: Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it] on June 25, 2008, 01:31:28 PM
Well, after 254 messages here's a short presentation of what we could call my person:

Age: born the day where Yannick Noah won Rolland Garros. You can search and calculate. Oh ok, ok, I'll avoid you searching, I'll give you the date, 1983. Will you succeed in calculating alone? ;-)

Race/ethnic composition: I tend to be what we can call "white", and when the sun shines I take some colors which tend to brown, but just on arms, because I use to be in T-shirt. Then, I'm French, and as far as I know, my grand-grand-parents, I've not other origin.

Religion: Baptized Roman Catholic, went to catechism 2 years when child, did my 1st communion, but to me what some call "God" is just a spiritual concept, so I don't believe in what some call "God". Religion? I think it will be THE point of this century...

Height: I don't know with english measures.

Weight: Same thing, I don't know with english measures.

Location: Geographically, I'm currently in a village of the South West of France. Mentally, I use to try to be where the future would be... I don't say I succeed in, I just say I try...

Occupation: Watching and wondering, and currently I also help my father who is setting on an exploitation of organic vegetables, that's why I'm in a village.

Party of Choice: I don't have one, I no more really believe in politics. Don't you remember? I've already told you. I think THE point will be religion...

Favorite President: Well, I'll say of the 5th French republic, Charles De Gaulle.

Favorite Sports: Hmm, I would say soccer, maybe cycling too, but anyway I don't really practice each of them. For me sports became more something that happens on TV. And on TV, I can watch a lot of different sports, that's interesting, especially concerning the place it takes in our modern societies.

Favorite Book:
I don't have read a lot, and I think that book is a dying format, and that writing will have to find new ways of existing and also to do a large place to video. This said, there are 2 books I liked a lot: "1984" by Georges Orwell and "Brave new world" by Aldous Huxley.

Favorite Movies: First, a Japanese one, "The glamorous life of Sachiko Hanaï" (2003) by Mitsuru Meikei , I really recommend it, I really love the provocating lightness and humor of this movie, that's not for children, very explicit. Second, "Un film parlé" (2003) by Manoel de Oliveira a Portuguese, I think the film is very pertinent concerning what it says about our epoch and the end is surprising. Last one, "O'Brother", with G. Clooney, I love the lightness of this movie and also the soundtrack.

Favorite Show: If that means my favorite TV series, that's unmistakably South Park, even if in France it is on paying Channel that I don't have.

Favorite persons on Atlas: I love everyone, and even outside of Atlas!

Favorite Colors: Here's something I never really wondered about, I know the colors I don't like, but my favorites, I can't really say...

Your other Interests: Watching, wondering, being on the Net, especially writing on forums.

Do you live by yourself? No, at my father's home.

Do you have any siblings? 2 small brothers, 4 years between each brothers.

Are you married? No, and as far as know, I don't really expect to be one day.

What year did you join Atlas? 2007

Do you have any nieces, nephews?
Strange question, no, I don't.

What's your favorite candidate from the 2 major parties?
Wow! Well, I prefer the personality of Obama, but I don't feel he is enough strong to well manage the power in this epoch. Maybe I'm wrong.

What city did you grow up in? My parents moved a lot during my childhood, so I moved a lot with them, quite only in the south part of France, in different places of it, in different sorts of places, in country, in different middle cities.

Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex? Hmm, no.

If you could pick your own nationality, what nationality would you pick?
If ever I would have to do such a choice, I'll analyze the present situation and I'll choose what I'll consider as the best for me. Presently, I've no problem with the French one, which does not mean that I have no problem with France... ;-)

Post the most recent picture of yourself here:

I don't have some on the computer, and I'm not a fan of being pictured, this said, I'm not always looking to avoid it, but I don't really look for it.



Well, here we are, all questions answered.

To finish this presentation, I would like to say that I'm aware that my English is not very perfect and very rich, but, indulge me, I'm French! I don't say that only for joke, in France, we do as if everyone was speaking our language abroad, so we don't learn foreign languages very well, especially english. We are not the only one to do it, but these who speak English can do like it, us, we just can't! More of that we don't really accept words from abroad, we often try to translate everything in French. Well, this said, this way of thinking goes down and down, and is anyway downer than in Quebec I think. Here, youth don't really care about it, and in their language there must be at least 1/4 of english, at least!

Well, well, well, what to say after it...?

Hmm, I'm really interesting in trying to see what could happen in the future, and I try to do it without telling me some fairy tales. I do it because I think that if we want to give us the best future and to take the best decisions at present, we must wonder on what could be the future. I think that for humanity short-term is a non-sense, the only possibility to continue is to think in long-term. So, you can imagine what I think of our epoch...

Well, well, well, other things...?

Hmm, I enjoy Atlas, the fact to can meet peoples from different part of the world, even if quite all from West, and to can discuss of what's happening in the world. Yeah, I enjoy that.

So, and I'll finish this presentation message by this,

Thanks!

I just found out there is a very small fraction of me that is African.  It must have been completely overwhelmed by now because I'm pretty damn white, with blonde hair and blue eyes.  I do tan nicely though, haha.

It's ok a great majority of Americans of all races can say the same.

Well, true.  But I'm more referring to recent family history.  I think it was 5 generations back or so.

Which part of Africa?

I have no idea, but it isn't a white African ancestry if that's what you're getting at.  That's what I said and my grandmother made it VERY clear there was a black influence in our genealogy. :P  I'm not sure I buy it, but apparently her cousin spent years researching and compiling our family history.  I think it's funny either way, just because of what I look like, that there even could be black mixed in there.

No, I wasn't getting at anything. I was just wondering if your ancestors came from North Africa, south Africa, west or east.

Yep, a lot of the Arabs in my family (including me) have blue eyes. But I guess in my case you could make an argument for the Austrian side being a factor.

Still no picture.

You can upload an image onto the internet via http://tinypic.com/ (http://tinypic.com/) or www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com).  There are other free image hosting sites, but these are the most commonly used.

Make sure you are putting the link these sites give you into [*img][/img] (without the *) brackets and that the link has an image extension at the end of it (such as .jpg or .gif).

I hope this helps?

We are actually a Blue-Ribbon School (w/e that means), we test high in other areas (I pulled off a 5 in AP History), but our Physics teacher is a former Lucent employee who got laid off and isn't much of a teacher.

In summary, yes. She also said than I was a danger for the society. To summarize what happened, another began to violently and voluntary hit me during her course. She saw and did nothing. I reacted and this became a fight with the other student. She separated us. She acted with the other student like an innocent victim and she began to yell to me in front of the class. He answered her than she was incompetent, than she shouldn't be there because she has not basic notions of pedagogy and than she should stop to think than she know everything because she has a university diploma in arts. The bell rings, everybody exits the classroom but me and she said me that.

That finished in the principal office and I got a exemption from art courses for the remainder of the year.

My Grade 9 History teacher was the most boring person I ever met. She just gave us some textbook questions to do and write random essays all class.

I suppose no teacher ever hated me, save maybe for the Grade 8 Art teacher, Mrs. Soni, since I pissed her off intentionally all the time. She yelled at me in Grade 9 for ditching all the NJHS meetings. Maybe Harriman hates me now if he ever found out what I did to him.

Nice.  UVA Law is a very good school and has some impressive alumni.  One recommendation I have is that you consider majoring in Accounting or a hard science in college, so as to qualify you for jobs in tax law or patent law.  I, unfortunately, majored in Finance.  

Best of luck to you.  Let me know if you need any help/advice.    

P.S.  Should you graduate from UVA Law, I'm sure you won't have any trouble getting a job regardless of what your undergrad major was.

Sure.  If you make good money, you're gonna have to work hard for it.  Corportate attorneyrs are generally the cream of the crop, so it's definitely something to shoot for.  A finance degree will definitely help you in classes like Corporations, Securities Regulations, Mergers & Acquisitions, etc., but it's not required.  If you want to be a tax attorney, however, I'm almost positive that you need some type of an accounting background.

Helps certainly, but not required (or generally necessarily).  You're right that an understanding of accounting helps (damn capital accounts...they're such a pain in the ass when you're talking about business transaction taxation).

My Tax prof was japanese language major at his undergrad.

IB doesn't care about grammatical stuff. They care a sh**tload about oral stuff and reading comprehension. Both of which I easily can get 100% on.

I'm kind of surprised IB doesn't care about grammar or anything. I'd have expected those clowns to care a lot about that and make yet another stupid fascist rule.

I hate nicotine cravings at 1am with subzero wind chills outside


of course I inevitably end up putting on five jackets to nab cigarette #7 of the day.  "I can't beat myself" - Elliott Smith.  he was talking about heroin but there are a lot of physiological similarities.  except what those people have to go through is 100x worse in every way imaginable.

I can get an 'A' on any paper I choose to spend an hour on but I'll never beat nicotine.  I'll take it to my grave.



that's all about myself.  (the amazing thing is, a majority of you will look at those emotions/feelings and want to tax them)

I experienced withdrawal after I stopped taking pain medicine that was prescribed to me that my doctor told me was not at all addictive.  Well, I can tell you that it is!

It was probably the most awful feeling in the world.  I couldn't sleep, I was sweating, I felt extremely depressed, and my entire body hurt 10 times more than it did before I ever started taking the pain meds.

I called my doctor right away and he got me back on the prescription and weaned me off... then it was painless... but I will never do that again.

No matter what medicine you take, ALWAYS wean off of it no matter how redundant it may seem.  Withdrawal is one of the most stressful things you can put your body and your mind through.

No it's true. Minorities(whether rich or poor) have a better chance at receiving grants and financial aid from the government, simply because of their race.

I feel flattered :D

I always knew he was no Swede, he definatley posses that evil cunningness that is so characteristic for Norwegians, not to mention their constant desire to vex us Swedes. Like earlier this year when Sweden was pondering our same-sex marriage law, Norway just had to pass a same-sex bill like a month earlier just to irritate us, and act like they're more tolerant. Shame on all of you Norwegians.

You can work at age 14 in the U.S. in certain jobs, but the rules are strict.  Something like no more than 15 hours per week, no more than 3 hours on a school night and the shift must end before 7pm or 9pm on a non-school night.

About the only places that employe 14 and 15 year olds are fast food restaurants and occasionally places like grocery stores (grocery baggers/carry out)

Thank you.

It's more or less the same thing in France but with a starting age of 16. Then, when you get 18, the majority, you're considered a normal worker.

But, very few places employ people at 16, they consider it's too much constraints. Most of the time when you want to work before 18, you have to take illegal ways, most of the time that's in restaurants, for plunge or service. And the few places that make legally work between 16 and 18 are also more or less the same places you referred to. And who does it the most? An American company of fast food. That one which is almost the only one US company of fast food here...Mc Donalds. Actually out of Mc Do, I don't think there are a lot of places in which people between 16 and 18 can legally work.

The only ways to go in the professional life before 16 is to make a "contrat d'apprentissage", a contract of apprenticeship literally, which you can start at 15 and maybe 14 but not sure, there are have been debates to change it for 14 a few years ago, don't know if it changed. These contracts permit to a young to learn a job by spending a big part of the time, the major one, in a work place, most of the time that are for eating jobs (bakery, restaurants: service and cookery, butchery, etc), and anyways it uses to always be for handicraft jobs, and the other part of the time in a training center. Each contract are concluded for 2 years. Though, even when the apprentice make the job of a normal employee, they have very low wages, very low, about 1/3 of the French minimal wage IIRC.

Here is for France.

Ok. I guess We should not respond to a terrorist attack and let 3000 people die unavenged.

I love Russ Feingold, I may disagree with him on some issues, but he is honest and doesn't cut corners like other politicians. He is a FF.

A bit?

If the Giants had an average offense, they'd be among the best teams in the league.

Actually Sensei, I hate your guts and always have. I long for the day, and it is surely not far away, when I shall drive an eight inch screwdriver through your eyes as you are tied to a lamp-post and as your screams fill the night air. And with every scream, I shall drive the screwdriver in again. And again. And again. And again. While also setting fire to your socks. And eating your hamster in front of you (it shall be your last sight on this Earth), and, perhaps, forcing you to eat dog shit, though I fear that the last item on my list of hate may be a little excessive.

I am a white single 58 near atheist dirty old man. I hold a license to practice law, and sometimes get paid for some facsimile of actually doing that, when I can fit it into my otherwise busy schedule of what some may characterize as  deflective hedonism. I lost a lot of weight in the last year. I am more proud of that than anything else I have done in life in some ways, because well, it was not something I had ever succeeded in doing before. I have been under a lot of stress with family issues lately. I love history, economics, sociology, anthropology, and geography, and used to love politics, but less and less now as to that. I may (or may not) add to this in due course, regarding music, books, love, passions, hatreds, neuroses, hangups, hobbies, etc. The end - for now.

I'm the only spaniard here? US politics are far more interesting than ours, but it's always handy to have someone who shares your same absolute ignorance on congressional or assembly districts, primaries, federal states, referendums, members of the same party who vote in different ways, county councils, sheriffs, and all the american stuff.

Well online forums can be very good to help you learn English. That's one of the reasons I became as good as I am at the language, by hanging out at an English Harry Potter forum. ^^ Your English looks very good though.

Oh and yeah we protestants are excotic, and great choice for nationality of your choice. Always liked Sweden myself as well.

I posted a bit when Kerry was running for president, then a few more times when Obama was. Something compelled me come back here and post for some reason. Don't really know why. Was wondering if anyone could give me advice as to the more appropriate avatar. Last time I was here, I put it as R-ON, because I've only ever voted for the Conservative Party of Canada (or the PCP of Ontario). Within Canada, I'd be somewhere in the more Liberal wing of the CPC, with a mild Libertarian bent. However, transplanted into the US, I'd actually likely become a Liberal Democrat without changing a single idea. Heh.

Either way, I sort of like the Blue avatar better, because I've only ever voted for Conservative parties, and tend to identify with Conservatives more, in general.

It tends to be a Scot-Irish thing, and yes they tend to be more plentiful in the South.

Uh, no.

@Han. Basically, because of his push for alternative energies, his push for real cooperation in the Middle East (i.e. the Camp David Accords), his willingness to not simply bow down to Israel, and, of course, his work after the Presidency (Habitat for Humanity, etc.)

Reminds me of that time Rochambeau said he'd prefer Georgia politics if Georgia politicians distanced themselves more from Jimmy Carter or some equally bizzare statement.

Cue much hilarity.

I think the general agreeableness and genuineness of Jimmy Carter clouds many liberals' judgment.  He has by far done a better job as a former president than he did as president.  Still, I hold many of his ideals to heart.  I believe he was too brutally honest with the American people when they were looking for a message of hope for the future.  People don't like a negative Nancy, even when things are in the sh**tter economically and politically.

So as a president, Carter was mediocre.. but as a human being, he is a great man.

Well, exactly. Truthfully, he had a crapy Presidency. That doesn't mean what he tried or wanted to do (and in some cases succeeded) was bad. But, he was too stubborn. He refused to work with Dems. in Congress, and refused to play politics as usual. That makes for a great campaign theme, but it's horrible politics.

Your general ability to comprehend relatively simple points and concepts implies a MUCH lower age, disqualifying someone from an admissions position.  Not to mention that most advanced positions require several years of experience, something someone only a couple years above college graduation age would not likely have.

Almost every post I've made here has been on the topic of North Korea, and since I'd rather not have anyone presume it's an obsession, I've decided to introduce myself:

Gender: Male
Race - Ethnicity: Predominantly Irish
Religion: Roman Catholic
Height: 5 ft. 10 in.
Weight: 160 lbs.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Party of Choice: Republican

Favorite President: For the enormity of his achievements, Abraham Lincoln, but honorable mention to James Polk for his efficacy and Richard Nixon, in deference to the complexity of the man, his intellect, foreign policy, and pragmatism.
Founding Father: As a Catholic, I can forgive John Jay's bigotry and recognize his career of service and staunch abolitionist beliefs.
Invariably Admire: As the first presidential election I was cognizant of, it's interesting reading about the John McCain of 2000 vintage, wondering what might have been and lamenting the eventual erosion of his convictions.  Dan Gurney.  David Souter.  Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, for being a forceful advocate at the U.N.  Every son who has a close relationship with their father feels a strong admiration there, even moreso if you don't have siblings like myself.
Favorite Book: I was rather enamored with The Foundation Trilogy and its prequels and sequels when I was younger.  Something I have in common with Paul Krugman, evidently.
Magazine: I'm a subscriber to The Economist.
Favorite Shows: Fareed Zakaria, Political Capital with Al Hunt, BBC World News on PBS, The Lively Experiment.
Diverging away from current events, Alec Guinness as George Smiley in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People, simply the best television I have ever had the pleasure of viewing; Seinfeld, Quantum Leap, and The Twilight Zone.  I enjoyed the original CSI earlier in its run, but eventually migrated away from it -- the hour long crime drama genre has run its course, I think.  I also secretly appreciate the first three series's of a certain science fiction franchise I'd rather not publicly embrace the stigma of.
Music: I have to confess that I'm simply not much of a music person, but generally my tastes trend toward jazz and classical.
Favorite Sports Team: Boston Red Sox.  I was a supporter of Renault Formula One this year, but that can change.

Interests: International relations and foreign policy, auto racing, golf, baseball, naval history, writing and debating, technology, moderate conservatism.

Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex? Never.

If I could pick a nationality: Actually, I quite like being an American and don't believe one's objection to our government has to evolve into self-loathing.  But if dissent is the highest form of patriotism, then pride in one's country must be tempered by accountability and circumspection.  I see nothing wrong with apologizing for America when it's the correct thing to do.  No one is infallible, and it's narcissistic or delusional to suggest otherwise.

A century ago many Swiss people, especially from rural areas in Switzerland, left the country as there was a great deal of poverty in certain regions and indeed many of them emigrated to the USA, where they could live in prosperity. Nice to see that your ties with Switzerland still exist. ;)

Race/ethnic composition: White. British and German... very boring.
Religion: Atheist
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 187 lbs
Location: Timmins, ON in the summer, Toronto, ON during the school year. Living on campus, very close to Steeles Avenue.
Where you were born: Timmins, ON
Occupation: Right now I work at an equipment and machine rental company for the summer. Working alongside the mechanics. During the school year, I attend York University and study chemistry, and some biology starting in the fall (for a second teachable). Caution to everyone considering chemistry: don't. :) Unless you really want to.
Person you most admire: Person, eh... that's a tough one. There are a lot of influential and important people I can name, but I don't wanna sound boring. How about... Kristen Wiig? For the sole reason to turning SNL from a sh**tfest to bearable. :) That's an accomplishment.
Favorite Band: Have you ever gone through that phase where it's like, you only listen to one artist for a month or so? Or worse, only one album? Right now for me, it's Tegan and Sara, and I feel like I'm entering that phase. I gave their album "Sainthood" a listen on Friday, then I listened to it again, and again... and sh**t. I need to pull myself out. I also love Metric. A lot of Canadian bands are good. :)
Favorite President: Gosh, I dunno... LBJ passed some pretty significant legislation.
Favorite Sports team: Don't watch sports.
Your other interests: Love video games and manga. Kinda nerdy, no? Going out is also fun (kinda vague, I know, but I just like being out). Chemistry is also fun (I hate it during the school year though). Being gay is also pretty boss as well.

Er...hello everyone!

Age: 18
Gender: Male, biologically. Some gender issues.
Race/ethnic compostion: White with some faint Central Asian admixture. An eighth Jewish. Mostly Italian, Irish/British chop suey, Polish, Russian (that's where both the Jewish and the Central Asian admixture come in); some French, possibly German, possibly Romani.
Religion: Episcopalian, fairly high church; would probably be Catholic if not for a few specific ideological and organisational beefs I have with that church. Very interested in East Asian religious thought but not considering converting to anything.
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Location: Amherst, Massachusetts (staying with family in New Jersey for the summer though; I grew up in Vermont)
Where you were born: Franklin County, Massachusetts

Favorite Band: Dire Straits, Kajiura Yuki, Talking Heads, The Killers, Maaya Sakamoto, Leonard Cohen, Warren Zevon
Favorite President: I am fascinated by both Adamses, Arthur, and Coolidge as men (my New England bias showing), and I like the policies of both Roosevelts, Eisenhower, and in many but not all areas Carter, but I think that the greatest we ever had probably remains Lincoln. A fairly conventional answer, I know.
Favorite Sports team: Anything Boston/New England.

JUST discovered the error. Im actually 6'1 (was 6'0 at the time). That was a typo. And the 130 was 110. Now I am up to 120. I need to pay more attention when typing :P

Time for an update:

Age: almost 25 now

Gender: male

Race/ethnic compostion: 100% (I guess) white Austrian

Religion: agnostic, was born Catholic but going to Church is something that I don't do

Height: 180 cm

Weight: about 76 kg

Location: Zell am See, Salzburg State, Austria, Europe

Where you were born: also there

Occupation: doing logistics, accounting and ordering stuff in an office of a bigger company

Person you most admire: my parents, working their way up from a relatively modest background and establishing a upper-middle class lifestyle in their later years and this with raising 4 kids, as for other persons there are just too many good people out there

Favorite Band: that's hard, but maybe the White Stripes (?)

Favorite President: Heinz Fischer, Rudolf Kirchschläger, Karl Renner, Obama/Clinton/Carter/Kennedy/Eisenhower/Roosevelt

Favorite Sports team: I don't really have a "favorite sports team", but somehow I've always been a big fan of the Denver Broncos

Your other interests: reading, statistics, running, mountainbiking, driving, watching movies, internet, playing pool and snooker, swimming, photographing and a lot of other stuff

Post by: HagridOfTheDeep on July 22, 2012, 11:05:56 PM
I never did one of these. I think my hackish debut is slowly coming to a close, so maybe I'll talk about the real me for a little bit. :)

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Race/ethnic compostion: White, and very Canadian. I think my latest ancester to be born anywhere else would be a great-grandparent. And they would have just been born in England. It goes back even further on the other side of the family: a bunch of German Canadians from Pembroke, Ontario who were here before Confederation.

Religion: Presbyterian with agnostic tendencies. I'll never backtalk the church atmosphere though, because I've honestly recieved nothing but support. I like the secular aspects of it a lot.

Height: 6'2"ish?

Weight: About 200 lbs?

Location: Mississauga, Ontario and Kingston, Ontario.
Where you were born: Mississauga

Occupation: Student

Person you most admire: I have a hard time with questions like these, mostly because I'm too selfish to ponder them often enough. :P It would have to be people I've known very well: my grandparents. They're four very distinct people, but I see a lot of them in me.

Favorite Band: Not actually much of a music person. I've got a real hard time hearing the words in music... The vocals usually just meld themselves in with the rest of the instruments. If I had to pick though, I guess I'm in a bit of a Simon and Garfunkel phase.

Favorite President: I'm bad at this. I kinda enjoy the political game of winning elections more than I enjoy getting involved in policy. From what I've read though, I guess I'd say Madison, Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Reagan.

Favorite Sports team: Toronto Maple Leafs

Your other interests: Playwriting, reading, bagpiping (yes, I play the bagpipes), film, camping, fishing, road trips, and eating Southern food.

Favorite Politician: Charlie Angus, Megan Leslie, Thomas Mulcair, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Lee, Kristen Gilibrand, Andrea Horwath.

The only real updates I'd make after one year is that I'm one year older and my favorite band/musician has become Neil Young, especially the old-fashioned acoustic Young of the early to mid 70's.  I've been learning to play his songs on guitar all year and can't stop listening.  The rest is pretty much the same.

Maybe because of how interested and inspired I am by the civil rights movement.  Nope, I am definitely white.  I probably have some black ancestry somewhere, though.  We're all a mix of races in reality, but I just happen to be overwhelmingly more white than anything else.

Age: mid-to-late-20s

Gender: this is the internet, what do you think?

Ethnicity: WASP and Polack

Religion: Short answer- agnostic.  Long answer- the evidence indicates there probably isn't a God, but I understand the human need for worship and have even felt it from time to time.  Every few years or so I contemplate becoming a Quaker.

Place of Birth: I grew up right near the diner where Tony Soprano gets whacked to the strains of "Don't Stop Believing".

Current Location: deep in the middle of Brooklyn, recently moved from West Philly.

Occupation: Overeducated and underemployed.

Favorite Music: Paul Simon, Spoon, Sufjan Stevens, Igor Stravinsky, Bela Bartok, John Adams, Radiohead, Beatles, The National, Johannes Brahms, Gabriel Kahane, etc.  Basically a smorgasbord of classical, classic rock, and indie-ish stuff.

Favorite Authors: Bill Watterson, Umberto Eco, Jane Jacobs, Don DeLillo, T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Matt Yglesias

Favorite Sports Team: New York Giants.  Wide Right was one of my first-ever memories... and Ray Handley was one of my second-ever.

Favorite Presidents: Teddy Roosevelt, John Quincy Adams, Jimmy Carter (obviously the Washington/Lincoln/FDR trio was better than those three, but that's a boring answer).

Favorite Politicians: Rush Holt, John Hickenlooper, Earl Blumenauer, Michael Bloomberg, Antonio Villariagosa, Frank Lautenberg, Tammy Baldwin

Political Orientation: In UK terms, I'd preferably be a Lib Dem with some Green leanings.  Though who am I kidding, Duverger's Law would force me to vote Labour.  Strong liberal on the environment and social issues, monetary dove, technocratic, more centrist on labor and foreign policy but even there a smidge left of the USA average.  My technocratic streak occasionally leads to iconoclasms where I support libertarian methods for green ends (such as taking an ax to things like anti-density zoning regulations and the mortgage interest deduction), but as an overall philosophy libertarianism is naive and dangerous hogwash.

Other interests/hobbies: public transportation, maps, art, Modernism, useless trivia, cocktail snobbery, strategy boardgames

In conclusion, I am basically the perfect target audience for this thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_BQE_(soundtrack)).

Government and political structure has a lot more to do with the wealthy having so much money than the markets do. Absent bailouts, insider deals, subsidies, etc the people would have a lot more power. Adam Smith knew what he was talking about. Are you sure you're a libertarian?

I'm 100% sure I'm not a Libertarian and I'm wearing the avatar for ornamental purposes.

What you fail to realize is that long before Government was the "big, evil, awful" thing that Libertarians view it as, markets were making people richer than would ever be necessary. Tell me, how would the free market resolve wealth inequality? The answer is, it doesn't.

Libertarians like to believe that the free market is the answer to all of America's (and the world's) problems, when in fact it caused most of those problems in the first place. It was the free market that created wealth inequality, and encouraged/encourages it in modern society. The first "rich" people--the ones that made more money than others when America was first becoming an industrial nation--did not hold that much more wealth than say the "poorer" Americans. What happened was, the industrialization expanded and corporations were born.

Corporations exist to ensure that a sort of oligarchical system be upheld throughout the monetary system. Meaning, the CEOs of the biggest companies are ensured a lot more money than the lower classes (about 350-400 times as much money, to be exact) for doing quantities less work. They deliver a cheap, but "okay enough" product onto the market, and consumerism ensures that it is eaten up without questioning exactly what it is or how it was made.

The problem is that such a small amount of people control such a disturbingly large portion of the wealth in this country (and world) and will only end up controlling more. Is Government doing anything to stop it? Not really, and certainly not as much as we should be doing. But that's because corporations have the power of Government. We need leaders that will not be afraid to stand up to corporations and strip them of their power. The voice needs to be returned to the average citizen, and the wealth with it.

I'm not talking about full-fledged socialism, I'm talking about equality. Where the poor aren't as poor and the rich aren't as rich. No one in this world could possibly need a billion dollars for their own use. They just invest it so they can make more money that they won't spend.

Sure, a perfectly free market in a perfect world would work very well and would be better than every other option.

But, the market isn't free, even if state doesn't involve with it.
In many areas, there is only one business offering a service (monopoly) or only a couple ones, which often cooperate with each other in order to bring prices higher and to ban potential competitors from entering the market (oligopoly).

Free market can only work with small businesses, because the big ones always finish by changing the rules of game in their advantage. Why food in convinence stores is more expensive than in groceries? Because grossists are selling food cheaper to the groceries. And there is plenty of exemples like that.

Big corporations and businesses are too well integrated and built to allow free competition.

Name:  Paul
Age:  42
Gender:  Male

Race/ethnic composition:  Foolish question to ask a genealogist.  (We don’t give short answers.)  My dad’s side is pre-Revolutionary American, so about ½ English, ¼ other British (mainly Scots-Irish), and ¼ German.  There’s also a trace of French.  My mom’s parents were Donauschwaben, from the Balkans.  Going back to the early 18th century, her ancestry would be about ¾ from modern Germany and about ¼ from other German-speaking areas, especially France, Luxembourg, and the Czech Republic.

Religion:  none.  Religion is totally irrelevant to my life.
Height:  5’-10” in my head.  Actually, I think I’ve shrunk to 5’-9”.  (So, about 175 cm)
Weight:  160 lbs/73 kg
Location:  Merriam, in the Kansas suburbs of KC
Where you were born:  KCMO
Occupation:  architect

Person you most admire:  Nelson Mandela.  I’ve always been impressed that he lost 30+ years of his life to prison, yet didn’t seem to hold a grudge.  Unlike, say, Mugabe, he seemed more interested in building democratic institutions in his country than in his own personal aggrandizement.  Similar things could be said about George Washington.

Favorite Band:  The Bangles?  Seriously not a music fan.  But I’m impressed that they managed 4 pop hits that sound nothing like one another.

Favorite President:  Washington.  For reasons stated above.
Favorite Sports team:  Reinforcing the gay stereotype, I have no interest in sports.

Favorite television shows:  Doctor Who, starting with the Donna Noble era.  Currently Awkward., even though I’m “too old” to be watching MTV.  From the past, I have a special soft spot for Daria.

Politics:  Pragmatic liberal, for lack of a better term.  Not activist enough to be a “progressive”.  I’m proud of the Americans With Disabilities Act, because it broadened the ability of Americans to contribute to society, and I’m relieved that the unexpected consequences for once turned out to be mainly positive.  I’m very American when it comes to free speech issues, and I would oppose any laws attempting to ban Holocaust denial.  While personally somewhat conservative, I would take anyone calling me a political conservative as slanderous.

Your other interests:  Genealogy.  I would love to be published in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, if I ever solve any of the three problems I’ve been working on for the past five !#$^@&^! years.  Also, I play trick-taking card games with groups twice a month.  I can’t really stand politics, but I adore political demography.

Have you ever been attracted to someone of the opposite sex?  No, except for maybe Jordana Brewster.

Favorite quote:  From Douglas Adams, don’t remember exactly, but something like “As Kate lay beneath a pile of rubble, she was relieved to know that she hadn’t been merely imagining that this was a bad day.”

Non-negotiable policies: permanent WPA to guarantee full employment, Medicare for All, federally capitalized state banks, bailout underwater homeowners, dissolve the TBTF banks because "regulating" them is kabuki and a fool's errand (clue stick: regulatory capture), Congress selected by lottery (makes campaign finance reform(TM) moot), and dissolve the Fed/return the power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof" to Congress (per Article I, Section 8, Clause 5). Especially furious for being sucked into the Dem veal pin for so long, as they are able to get away with more egregious upward wealth transfer and imperialism than their Repub "opponents" could ever get away with, meanwhile using identity "politics" are their carte blanche. TL;DR: Big-spending, limited power, public purpose government (why people try to collapse these three dimensions into one "left"-"right" axis is beyond me...)
Favorite Musician(s): George Strait, Eric Church, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Alabama, Dwight Yoakam, Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band, Kacey Musgraves, Lee Brice, ... , almost anything country!
Favorite Sports teams: UNC Tar Heels, FL Gators, ATL Braves, STL Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Nola Saints

Well f**k me hard, a Satanist Republican actually exists.

I've definitely seen it all now.

You both know I don't worship fire and brimstone, right? I'm not even a real part of the church, I just follow the idea of controlling your own life, not having a book do it.

That's called atheism/humanism/Unitarianism. Not trying to disrespect y'all or your church, just throwing my two cents in.

A bit about Wolverine22

Age: 19

Sex: Male

Gender: Male-ish

Sexual orientation: Gay

Race: White

Ethnicity: Italian

Religion: Atheist

Language(s): English and some Spanish

Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan

Place you were born: Flint, Michigan

Occupation: College student, Aviation Management and Operations major with the intent of pursuing an MBA

Political figures you most admire: Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Harvey Milk, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Wendy Davis, Ann Richards, Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein, Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau

Favorite president: Lyndon Baines Johnson

Political orientation: More of a moderate progressive. The reason being for that is because most of my political views have come more into the mainstream since I started getting interested in politics. Back then if you openly supported same-sex marriage and won elected office, you had to have been from Massachusetts as that was the only place you'd have a shot at getting elected. I'm pro-choice and being from a small, blue-collar town, I'm pretty pro-union. I call myself a Democrat simply because Democrats align closest to my views and the Republicans right now are just insane. The main thing that makes me a liberal is the fact that I'm a pragmatist and that ideology has never solved a problem, created a job, or pulled anyone out of poverty. If you met me, you'd find that I'm pretty candid and I think that plays a bit into my political views, is that I tell it like it is.

Favorite book(s): "Are you there vodka? It's me, Chelsea!"

Favorite TV show(s): Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Rick Mercer Report, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Law and Order SVU, daytime trash TV, The Ed Show

Favorite movies: Shawshank Redemption, Prayers for Bobby

Other interests not involving politics: Traveling, aviation, sports, and psychology.

Favorite color: Blue

Favorite Sports Team: Michigan, Western Michigan, Detroit Red Wings, New England Patriots

Do you live by yourself? For the most part.

Do you have any siblings? One younger brother.

Do you have any nieces, nephews?  Nope, and never will.

Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex? What do you think?

Relationship status: Forever alone...

What year did you join Atlas? 2014

If you could pick your own nationality, which would you pick? Canadian, Australian, or Italian. Just not American.

Doing this again just because it's been a while, but answering a new framework of questions this time...what the hell...

Age:  44

Gender: Male

Race/ethnicity: Caucasian, mostly German (maybe German Jewish, but not confirmed) background,
                                       with some Russian and Hungarian thrown in

Religion: atheist, I guess, but I admire different aspects of a number of religious traditions.

Languages: English, German (reading and fairly good oral), Sanskrit (reading),
                  Chinese (good classical reading competence, intermediate modern reading/oral)

Where were you born?  Dickinson, North Dakota

Political figures you most admire: I don't admire any contemporary political figures anymore

Favorite President:  Lincoln, with honorable mentions to TR and FDR

Political Orientation: Independent, center-left leaning on many policy issues, but with an
                              admittedly weird mixture of both communitarian and liberal stances on
                              different social issues

Favorite music:  70's folk, some classical, jazz and some religious hymns/chants

Favorite book: I still like Robert Hass' Twentieth Century Pleasures: Essays on Prose and Poetry
                      a lot, but the Dao De Jing is slowly inching upward on a more consistent basis.

Favorite shows: Cosmos, Carl Sagan (1980),
                       The Living Planet, David Attenborough (1984)
                       Cheers, first three seasons

Do you have any nieces or nephews? 4 nieces, 4 nephews

Have you ever been attracted to a person of the same sex?  Not sexually, but in other ways, yes.

If you could pick your own nationality, which one would you pick?: German, I guess;
                                                        I sometimes think of myself as an "adopted Chinese" person,
                                                        given that I was previously married to a Chinese woman,
                                                        had a Chinese step-daughter, my current partner is from China
                                                        and I go there often--but I'd probably never reside there.

What's so bad about Cuomo?  He seems like a pretty reasonable, moderate, pro-business Democrat.

If you've been stalking the Individual Politics section long enough, we had an Andrew Cuomo vs. the World series where this forum voted for Hitler over him in addition to several other unsavory figures. He is a pawn of the Wall Street elite who beat forum darling Zephyr Teachout which becomes even more shameful considering his wonderful father. But you'll learn more soon enough if you venture into that section. I believe another Cuomo poll is about to evoke a response.

As one of the leading lights of the Atlas Cuomo Hate Brigade, let me just go on record as saying that I'm far more disturbed that you're a fan of the Vikings and the Packers.  I mean, either one is fine but both is just wrong.

But, to answer your question for serious, in my case it's because my particular area of expertise as it were is public transit and other urban infrastructure-type things, and my sense is that Cuomo has shown a special disregard for best practices there (e.g. throwing away years of planning process to push an unnecessarily large, transit-free, fiscally irresponsible Tappan Zee replacement; arranging shiny photo-ops for "kick the can down the road" MTA union contracts all the while raiding from their balance sheet and preventing discussion about sustainable revenue sources, etc.).  Basically, if he was really a "good government" moderate I'd actually be totally fine with that even if I'd be to his left.  But he's pretty obviously a bad government moderate on some of the issues where I'm actually informed and qualified enough to pass judgment.  

That's admittedly an idiosyncratic reason, more people will probably cite his picking a fight with the teacher's unions or something.  That and collaborating with Republicans to perpetuate a gross gerrymander in the State Senate, which is... well... yet another shining example of that "bad government" moderation. :P

Sorry for the mini-firehose of polemic there.  Welcome to Atlas!

Hello, new to the forum. Wanted to say hello and introduce myself.
A moderate in all cases. I've voted for both Democrats and Republicans. In 2016, I'm looking for a candidate that can unite our country. A moderate on social issues and on fiscal matters. I know that candidate is probably not out there, but I guess we'll see.

Looking forward to being apart of this forum.

I was born in Peoria, IL in 1991 and moved to Iowa City, IA when I was about 7.  I grew up the only Illini fan in Iowa City and took a lot of crap about it from my Hawkeyes friends but ended up going to Iowa for the instate tuition/I wanted to room with my close friends/I totally had a high school sweetheart at the time ... dodged a bullet with that one.  I played baseball in high school but decided I just wanted to have a regular college experience and not deal with being an athlete; I probably could not have started D1, either.

I am fairly liberal on a lot of political issues, but I feel very strongly in "reforming" the Republican Party to what I think Abraham Lincoln would want it to be rather than running for the Democrats (whom I certainly don't agree with 100%, either) or sitting on the sidelines as an Independent.  I'd describe my political views vaguely like this (TNF is barfing somewhere reading this):
- Pro-business.  I believe what is good for business is ultimately good for the economy ... yeah, shoot me.
- Pro-small government EXCEPT when it comes to protecting civil rights
- Pro-environmental protection
- In favor of a strong American presence in the world, militarily and diplomatically

I have a very close group of recently graduated friends (we're all 22/turning 23) that goes out and drinks far more than we should but has a damn fun time doing it.  We also very much mooch off of one of my friend's lake cabins. :)

That is LITERALLY all I can think to say about myself, haha.

(Why are Democrats red and Republicans blue here?)

First of all, welcome to the Forum!

To answer your question, the standard red for Republicans and blue for Democrats did not become established until after the election of 2000.  Before then, some TV networks would use the current standard scheme, and others would use the reverse.  Dave Leip started this website in I think 1999, and chose to use red for Democrats and blue for Republicans.  It's also more in keeping with how parties are color-coded in most foreign countries, where center-left parties tend to be red and center-right parties tend to be blue (altho there are many exceptions).  I promise you if you spend enough time around here, the reverse color scheme will start to seem normal to you.

Not sure why that'd make my head explode, seems like a fairly typical conservative set of stances nowadays. Sounds just like my parents, for example, except they'd probably say "fiscally conservative."

Most conservatives support interventionist foreign policy but I'm dead center on the issue.. perhaps a 1% tilt toward intervention.

Maybe traditionally, but I think they've shifted ever-so-slightly non-interventionist in the post-Iraq War era.

And I was mainly talking the NSA part--lots of conservatives have adopted a more libertarian stance on that.

There is certainly a scene in Return of the Jedi that suggests the Dark Side has homoerotic undertones.  Consider the dialog:

http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-Return-of-the-Jedi.html

Quote
VADER
A small Rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor.

EMPEROR    (no surprise)
Yes, I know.

VADER    (after a beat)
My son is with them.

EMPEROR    (very cool)
Are you sure?

VADER
I have felt him, my Master.

EMPEROR
Strange, that I have not. I wonder if your feelings on this matter are
clear, Lord Vader.

[Vader knows what is being asked.]

VADER
They are clear, my Master.

EMPEROR
Then you must go to the Sanctuary Moon and wait for them.

VADER    (skeptical)
He will come to me?

EMPEROR
I have foreseen it. His compassion for you will be his undoing. He will
come to you and then you will bring him before me.

I concur. Chrono Trigger has so many great ones. In addition to 600 A.D., I love the forest theme, the Tyrano Lair theme, the "sad" theme, Lavos' second theme, and the Ocean Palace theme. Btw, here's a cool, Christmas-y arrangement of the 600 A.D. theme.

That's great!

Corridors of Time is another one that I think is just great, especially when people do remixes that emphasize the electric guitar a little better than the MIDI track can.  Many moons ago, I used to listen to that on the way home from my freshman astronomy class, and it increased the wonderment at the universe factor by like 10x or something.

There's also a mashup by this kid called "2 Mello" that adds corridors of time to encore by jay z, which is really bizarre and very amusing.

Also, for the record, in case you or anyone else was wondering, I already sent you a PM before I ever saw this post of yours. Indeed, sorry about that. :(

Of course, on the bright side, now you know why exactly I am extremely unlikely to ever change my mind in regards to getting an orchiectomy.

In addition to this, though, I would like to point out that I have now responded to you here:

Actually, I want them to expire. Indeed, if they actually expired, then I might not get an orchiectomy.

This is disgusting, strange, and an example of why I don't embrace "live and let live" as a philosophy.

Such a solution would certainly be completely unacceptable for me. However, for the sake of moderate herosim, I might very well be willing to keep my scrotum. :) Indeed, does that sound fair? :)

We're just curious why you want to have your testicles removed.  With all due respect, is this for a fetish or something else?

If it were something simple like "my father died of testicular cancer at the age of 29," then I assume you'd just come out and say that.

A mixture of Armenian and Kurdish heritage. I consider both to be part of the Mideast. The two make up approximately 40% of my ethnic background, the remainder being a mix of Irish, Italian, and Lithuanian.

Despite our very different political views, I see Goldman as a revolutionary in a time where Nationalism and social Conservatism predominated the political discourse. For example, she supported ideas such as free love without sinking into Eugenics as many others of the time did. She opposed the draft, militarism, and freedom of speech.

I do not support her views on capitalism or on anarchism, however she was a counter cultural thinker for a very insular age.

Thanks for asking :)

Also, though, I would like to point out that I don't consider all forms of nationalism to be bad.

However, I appear to see nothing bad about events such as the unification of Italy. :)

Yes, this is certainly completely correct! :) Indeed, as I have already previously stated elsewhere here, what I would ideally like to do is to feminize both my body and my face (specifically by permanently getting rid of as much of my body hair and facial hair as possible and by getting forehead feminization surgery--if I'll actually have spare money to do all of this, that is) as well as to wear certain female clothing on a regular or semi-regular basis. :) However, even after I will do all of this, I would certainly have thoughts along the lines of "I wish I was her" whenever I will see a (tall) lesbian or lesbian-leaning woman. :( Indeed, I certainly wish that gender identity was a choice; however, unfortunately it isn't actually a choice (well, not with current technology, anyway). :(


Title: Re: All about yourself!

Also, Yes, I certainly consider being a trans-woman to be superior to being a feminine eunuch (at least in an ideal sense--as in, if we will live in an ideal world). However, I am certainly not a trans-woman; indeed, I (unfortunately) simply don't feel female. :( Frankly, I certainly wish that I had the ability to change this; however, alas, I certainly (and unfortunately) cannot do this (at least not with current technology, that is)! :(

Sigh ... indeed, I might as well publicly admit it: I want to get an orchiectomy for sterilization purposes due to the fact that all non-drastic forms of birth control, including vasectomies, can and sometimes do fail. Indeed, even vasectomy failure certainly isn't an acceptable excuse to avoid paying child support. Heck, even child support insurance contracts might get struck down by some judge(s) on grounds of public policy.

Indeed, I certainly want to achieve greater equality (in practice) with cis-women in regards to reproduction and child support. After all, unlike myself, many cis-women can get abortions in response to an unplanned pregnancy. (Also, No, trust certainly isn't an acceptable option for me since a woman can promise abortion or adoption in the event of an unplanned pregnancy and change her mind in regards to this later on.) Thus, the next best thing for me is to literally get an orchiectomy. Indeed, nowadays we thankfully have both testosterone HRT and estrogen HRT (depending on their preference) for eunuchs to use in order to avoid getting and dealing with nasty conditions such as osteoporosis. :)

There--now you know why exactly I want to get an orchiectomy. :)

If U.S. policymakers thought that this is an overreaction, though, then they certainly wouldn't have made child support laws as black-and-white as they currently are.

Indeed, if, purely hypothetically, abortion was banned worldwide and there was no safe way anywhere worldwide to get an illegal abortion, would you say that a woman who would want to voluntarily get her uterus and/or her ovaries surgically removed in such a scenario would be overreacting? Completely serious question, for the record.

You're getting an orchietomy for the purpose of preventing pregnancy? I'm sorry, but that seems like an overreaction.
If U.S. policymakers thought that this is an overreaction, though, then they certainly wouldn't have made child support laws as black-and-white as they currently are. Heck, even child support insurance unfortunately isn't good enough for me since some judge(s) can strike down such an insurance contract n grounds of public policy. :(
Well...quite frankly, while I may agree with your disatisfaction concerning child support policy, the chances you will be personally affected are extremely unlikely, especially if you got a vasectomy.

Furthermore, do you believe more men should follow your example? Or if not, why?

Indeed, if, purely hypothetically, abortion was banned worldwide and there was no safe way anywhere worldwide to get an illegal abortion, would you say that a woman who would want to voluntarily get her uterus and/or her ovaries surgically removed in such a scenario would be overreacting? Completely serious question, for the record.
Yes, I would believe that is an overreaction.

Sigh ... indeed, I might as well publicly admit it: I want to get an orchiectomy for sterilization purposes due to the fact that all non-drastic forms of birth control, including vasectomies, can and sometimes do fail. Indeed, even vasectomy failure certainly isn't an acceptable excuse to avoid paying child support. Heck, even child support insurance contracts might get struck down by some judge(s) on grounds of public policy.

Indeed, I certainly want to achieve greater equality (in practice) with cis-women in regards to reproduction and child support. After all, unlike myself, many cis-women can get abortions in response to an unplanned pregnancy. (Also, No, trust certainly isn't an acceptable option for me since a woman can promise abortion or adoption in the event of an unplanned pregnancy and change her mind in regards to this later on.) Thus, the next best thing for me is to literally get an orchiectomy. Indeed, nowadays we thankfully have both testosterone HRT and estrogen HRT (depending on their preference) for eunuchs to use in order to avoid getting and dealing with nasty conditions such as osteoporosis. :)

Here is a question for you, though: Do you honestly think that a vasectomy doctors would actually be willing to agree to pay all of my child support payments for 18+ years in the event of a vasectomy failure? After all, according to you, the odds of this occurring "are extremely unlikely"!

Completely serious question, for the record.

No. After all, it's not like all men have the same priorities and preferences that I have.

For instance, unlike myself, most men don't appear to have a desire to cross-dress and to wear women's clothing.

Because I don't know if other men have the same priorities and preferences that I have. Indeed, different people often have different value systems.

Unless they're negligent, they have no reason to pay. Is vasectomy failure negligence? No, it is not. This does not diminish my point. There may be horror stories, but the vast majority of people are fine. Vasectomy failures happen at a rate of about 3/1000-1/100, depending on the source you believe. In addition, it's also possible a women could use paternity fraud, rather than actual vasectomy failure.

Let me use an analogy.  Naegleria Fowleri is an amoeba that is highly prevalent in soil and water. This amoeba, if it attaches itself to your olfactory nerve, will travel up to your brain and will eat your brain cells, resulting in an almost incurable condition called Primary Amoebal Meningitis. There have been 138 official cases of the disease, although thousands may have occurred because most cases are determined only by autopsy. The only way to completely and absolutely guarantee that you will never, ever contract this disease is to avoid any and all swimming in fresh water, even water with chlorine as the amount of chlorine may not be sufficient to kill the amoeba. Would you advocate avoiding a regular suburban pool out of fear for this disease?

1. They can certainly volunteer to pay, though.

2. Please look up the law of truly large numbers, though.

3. Yes, but some vasectomies genuinely do fail! :(

4. No, I wouldn't. After all, orchiectomy plus my choice of HRT certainly isn't comaprable to not winning in fresh water. Plus, unlike the risk of being forced to pay child support after one has penis-in-vagina sex with a fertile or potentially fertile person of the opposite sex, the risk in your scenario above certainly doesn't appear to be either sex-specific or gender-specific.

Indeed, the egalitarian aspect of orchiectomy certainly extremely strongly appeals to me. After all, as I previously said--many women can unilaterally get abortions in the event of an unplanned pregnancy; in contrast, I myself certainly cannot do this. Thus, getting an orchiectomy is certainly the best available option for me; after all, just because biology is unfair certainly doesn't mean that biology shouldn't be made fairer.

Yes! There are IUD's, of course.

There are risks we take every day, such as driving, that have much higher rates of injury and death than the scariest serial killer. Your pursuit of equality, however noble, is at a detriment to yourself without an adequate threat.

You and I are very different in terms of risk management. Yes, risks may not affect everyone equally. For example, you're a lot more likely to get crushed by furniture in your home than in a hut in Cameroon.

Serious? Yes. Highly unlikely and hyperbolic? Absolutely. Again, the risk is miniscule enough to avoid such a drastic, costly procedure. I would consult your physician and a professional psychologist.

1. Yes, but in this case, it's certainly a risk that I am willing to take. Likewise, I'd certainly prefer to have a female brain/mind, having ovaries, having periods, and being capable of getting pregnant but never having to worry about being forced to pay child support for an unwanted child of mine in comparison to the status quo. However, unfortunately we can't successfully change people's gender identity with current technology. :(

2. In regards to the "highly unlikely and hyperbolic" part, my own response to this statement of yours is this: You certainly don't know me. Indeed, I was certainly being completely, 100% serious in regards to this. :( After all, I am certainly not going to react very well to (cumulatively) losing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars simply as a result of having penis-in-vagina sex! :(

Hello, everyone! Many moons ago, I used to post here quite a bit (some of you may remember SpeedOfSound), but since so much has changed since then, it made sense to start over. I'm probably just around again for the election cycle, like I was briefly in 2012. I'm now a PhD student in Classics (Roman History specialist) in Texas, but not a whole lot else has changed. A mid-20's white dude living in the city on a grad student's budget. I'm still a far leftist who splits his ticket between 3rd parties and Democrats, an atheist, and a vegetarian. Still an avid sports fan, videogamer, and indie music fan. I hope to have some fun here on the political old stomping grounds and hopefully I'll still see some old souls I know hanging around this place. See y'all around!

I am a libertarian leaning moderate conservative independent from Southern California. I think that cutting corporate taxes in my state will help business grow and create jobs. I am what a "moderate Republican" today should be. I am to the left of most Republicans, but I am also well to the right of most Democrats. I think the Affordable Care Act needs to go. I support free market solutions to healthcare. I believe a higher minimum wage will make the standards of living better. I believe lower taxes and a higher minimum wage will help economic conditions. I support same sex marriage. I would like a 15% flat income tax to simplify the tax code. I support free trade without protectionism, but not the trade deals like NAFTA and TPP that erode sovereignty. I support keeping Medicare and Medicaid as is. I support the Social Security "lockbox" act to keep the funds in Social Security. I oppose privatization of New Deal and Great Society programs. I think Dodd-Frank needs to be repealed because it it a burden on businesses in the country. I am pro-choice as long as abortion is within 20 weeks, with exceptions for certain circumstances.

Mostly reading, but ironically, the fact that I had a lousy English teacher in the 4th grade caused my parents to send me to private lessons. That had to help.

Interesting that y'all are posting your age/location/race/political affiliations/hobbies/etc. but nobody is posting whether you own your home, are married, and have kids.

The factors in bold above are important influences on people's political views, but this influence typically doesn't become obvious until after the fact.

BTW I'm a married homeowner with kids.

Handling a spouse, live-at-home children, and a single family home means that you are more likely to have given over much of your life over to a huge pile of responsibilities. I would guess the average forum poster is not a married,kids,home type. Single people are more likely to have the time to make psephology and/or racking up thousands of posts about politics on a message board a hobby. Heck, I bet some people leave this place after they get a significant other.

You're describing selection bias. That might explain some of it.

On the other hand, I've seen other online forums (for example a couple DIY forums I visit) where a lot of the posters are middle aged with houses, spouses, and kids. House/spouse/kids take up time, but not every waking moment.

So, selection bias for all forum-posting is probably too broad. I think it's probably a "seed culture" thing. Plus, as you get older you realize these ideological antler-rasslin' sessions are usually a waste of time, and what's an even bigger waste of time is saying inflammatory things online for the "naughty fun" of seeing people gasp and sputter. This means if you're going to talk politics online, you tend to either just seek out enclaves where people agree with you and can talk about "what to do" or else you seek out calm, polite, intellectual venues where you can quietly and slowly push around ideas. I don't know yet if this is one of those, still finding out.

Most of this has been some variation of the first post in this thread, which provided a template. Over time people added some other fields, but since many are indeed not married and may not own their own home, it was never incorporated. Even when I posted in this thread, I simply used the set of questions used by some poster before me and made a couple changes that I thought were relevant (or declined to answer certain questions). If that poster had included "Married" and/or "Own my own home," I'd probably have answered both. I'd like to say many other people would have behaved in a similar fashion.

I started that Oldiesfreak joke because I confused him with a different R-MI poster who stated that he was black. Oldiesfreak is whiter than mayo listening to country music in a Mormon church.

Simfan is black. I remember there being a D-GA poster (I think) who was black.

This is an extremely 20th century way of seeing things. Get used to it, the world has advanced. You don't have to marry or have kids in order to be a serious person (moreover, it discards the existance of the lgbt community). Also, housing prices (at least in Israel) are extremely high. Owning your house is not that easy.

Favorite Book(s): Shamefully, I've read very little beyond academic books in my discipline (among those Politics Against Markets: the Social Democratic road to power deserves a shoutout even though it's 40 years old). As far as "classics" go, The Grapes of Wrath left a very strong impression on me. I'm reading an unpublished manuscript by a friend that deserves to become a classic.
Favorite Show(s): Live action: Doctor Who during the RTD years, Star Trek TNG,Borgen. Animated: Noir, Chris Colorado, Batman TAS, Digimon
Favorite Movie(s): Shutter Island, Life is Beautiful, Twelve Angry Men, Lincoln, The King's Speech, The Dark Knight, Star Trek: First Contact, Nixon, Snatch
Favorite Band: REM
Favorite video game: Haven't played in ages, but Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Rayman 3, Empire Earth
Political figures you most admire: Olof Palme, Per Albin Hansson, Enrico Berlinguer, Antonio Gramsci, Jean Jaurès, Pierre Mendès France, Clement Attlee, Tommy Douglas
Favorite President: FDR, I guess
Worst President: A month ago I would have said Buchanan or Pierce. Now I'm reserving my judgment until 2020.
Favorite Sports team: Italian soccer team
If you could pick a nationality: No doubt I'd feel safer with US citizenship right now.
What year did you join Atlas? In a more innocent time

Doubt anyone will be surprised by any of this, but still.

I do!  I'm such a wistful dreamer, I love all kinds of imaginative stories.  And Blake Lively was just wonderful.  Plus, ummm, it's kinda rare that I'm attracted to men these days but Michiel Huisman's character in that movie is totally the kind of guy who could seduce me.  o.o.  You're right about the soundtrack too.  I remember when I saw it the first time, I thought the end credits song was just so fitting and pretty, I had to look it up right away when I got home from the theater.

I haven't actually seen the Time Traveler's Wife, so I should definitely check that one out.  If you like time travel, you might want to try Safety Not Guaranteed too.  That was kinda fun and sweet in a quirky kinda way.

I don't know if anyone else is like this or not but I feel like I'm probably forgetting a bunch of movies I liked too.  These are just the ones I could think of!

()

A Libertarian Socialist believes in a welfare state but not a nanny state. I think we should have universal health care, free college, etc... but people should be able to do what they want on a personal level. Drugs should be legal, no drinking age, prostitution legal, all guns should be legal, etc...

Libertarian Socialists also believe that people should be self-sustaining within a socialist system, which kind of sounds like a bunch of anarchists living under pure communism. It is nice to say that people should be able to do what they want, and I agree with that, but slapping the "Libertarian" tag onto it means that you cannot dissociate the fact that Libertarianism economics and Socialist economics cannot be mutually exclusive.

Honestly, now is probably the best time. If you wait, we risk the very real chance of a whole new bandwagon cycle starting over again. Atlas nearly imploded from the rapid surge of AMAs when it first started.

when I said "I love women"  I meant to say in a way that was somewhat in jest, I didn't mean to imply that it was okay to objectify women because obviously it isn't, that statement was poorly worded and even though I didn't have any bad intentions by posting that I can see how some women on the forum may have found what I said offensive, so I would like to sincerely apologize to anyone I may have offended on the atlas forum.

Huh? I don't think anyone was offended by that. what I was saying is it's funny that you worded it like that, because that sounds kind of like something a closeted gay man would say, lol.

“Eat the booty like groceries”, “would rather have sex with a man than any woman who isn't curvy/doesn't have a big booty”, you get the idea.

What's unique about it is the fact we are third cousins. You're probably 7th or something like that. But thanks for trying to be a f***ing snob.
1. I didn't know how close of a cousin you are.

Let's redo it:

Age: 34
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Race/ethnic composition: White (French); more precisely ~70% Breton, ~20% Provencal/Languedocien, ~10% Norman, Champenois, Italian and Swiss
Religion: formerly an agnostic, now an atheist
Height: too tall
Weight: too fat
Location: somewhere in the Breton countryside in a place with an awful Internet connection
Birthplace: Concarneau, Finistère, Brittany, France
Occupation: Unemployed :(
Languages: French (Native Language), all your base are belong to us English, Spanish (very mediocre level), remnants of German and Latin. I’m way better in writing than in speaking (yeah, this tell you how awful my spoken English is)
Relationship: Single
Person You Most Admire: my grandfather, who came from a very poor and underprivileged Breton migrant background and integrated into middle class through instruction and hard working. Also developed my taste for reading and my interest for history. If I should pick someone who is famous, then François Cavanna (well nobody knows him on this forum but whatever)

Political Party: none. French political parties are all horrible
Political Orientation: a confused mix of environmentalism, social democracy, (non violent) anarchy and social liberalism. Yeah, that doesn’t make much sense; I’m better to tell what I really hate in politics: populism, authoritarianism, religious fundamentalism and ideological dogmatism
Favorite President (US): Abraham Lincoln
Favorite President (France): Charles de Gaulle is easily the less awful of the modern ones. If we included the powerless presidents of the Third and Fourth Republic, then Armand Fallières, who seems to have been a nice guy
Favorite Politicians (living): ugh. In the US maybe Bernie Sanders, in Europe Pedro Sánchez seems the less awful. In the rest of the world, I can’t deny I quite like Lenín Moreno (don’t approved all his policies but his personality and background are pretty great), Malala Yousafzai, Julio César Trujillo. And of course, my ironic hero, Abdalá Bucaram
Favorite Politicians (historical): my laundry list of historical figures I like for their ideas or their personality is composed of King Henry IV of France, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Eugène Varlin, Louise Michel, Élisée Reclus, Susan B. Anthony, José Martí, Georges Clemenceau (not a fan of his late career though), Jean Jaurès, FDR, Léon Blum, Jean Zay, Carlo Rosselli, George Orwell, Jean Moulin, Clement Attlee, Pierre Mendès France, Tommy Douglas, Rudy Dutschke, Alexander Dubček, Chico Mendes. Additionally people I don’t approve their politics but find interesting: Robespierre, Talleyrand, Fouché, Napoléon III, Gustave Hervé, José María Velasco Ibarra, Richard Nixon, René Lévesque, Mathieu Kérékou, León Febres Cordero
Least Favorite President (US): Franklin Pierce
Least Favorite President (France): Nicolas Sarkozy tied with François Hollande
Least Favorite Politician (US): Lyndon LaRouche
Least Favorite Politician (France): Nadine Morano
First Election: 2002 French Presidential Election (voted for Besancenot, lol)

Favorite Music Genres: Pop Rock, New Wave, Psychedelic Rock, Jangle Pop
Favorite Band(s): XTC, The Dukes of Stratosphear, Elvis Costello, The Smiths, The Beach Boys, The Clash, Cleaners from Venus, 10cc, The Velvet Underground, Squeeze, They Might Be Giants, Robyn Hitchcock, Jacques Brel
Favorite Book(s): not a big reader of fiction, especially not of classics. Candide, 1984, Animal Farm, Dracula, The Colour Out of Space, Ubik, The Man in the High Castle
Favorite Show(s): The Simpsons, The Office (US), Futurama, The Twilight Zone, The Sopranos, Deadwood, House, M.D., Doctor Who, Black Mirror, Malcolm in the Middle
Favorite Movie(s): again not an avid cinephile. Come and See, Aguirre the Wrath of God, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Truman Show, See You Up There, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Ed Wood, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky
Favorite Video Game(s): Civilization IV, Age of Empire II (yeah don’t have played video games in ages)
Favorite Color: green
Favorite Sports Team: in soccer, usually root for which ever team is opposed to Paris Saint-Germain. Don’t really care about other sports.
Favorite Food(s): green pepper and tomato salad, honey roasted Camembert, croque-monsieur, vanilla ice cream
Favorite Drink: coffee
Favorite Candy: Quality Street chocolates
Your Other Interests: history, Latin American and African politics, mapping, comics (Uncle Scrooge, Calvin & Hobbes, anything by Franquin or Goscinny, Gotlib’s Rubrique-à-brac), (very) amateur theatre, watching hilariously bad musical video or political ads, wasting my time and my money
Least Favorite Music Genre(s): really not a fan of rap, heavy metal, hip-hop, techno, reggaeton, or technocumbia. Also never managed to get into Breton traditional music.
Least Favorite Band(s): definitely Robbie Williams for his terrible cover of Making Plans for Nigel
Least Favorite Book(s): Sartre’s Existentialism and Humanism. Had to read it for school but, despite not being a very long book, I failed to finish it. Guess philosophy isn’t my cup of tea.
Least Favorite Film(s): I was bored to death watching The Intouchables, supposedly one of the funniest French movie ever. Also Taxi 2 was painful to watch; the following ones are reputedly even worse but I haven’t the courage to watch them
Least Favorite TV Show(s): any ‘reality television’ program. Also, never find Family Guy (sorry BRTD) nor South Park even remotely funny
Least Favorite Sport(s): Auto racing, it’s so booooring.
Least Favorite Sports Team(s): Paris Saint-Germain
Least Favorite Food(s): I almost vomit the only time I have eat an andouille (not a true Breton), so that
Least Favorite Drink: Once I mistakenly mixed black coffee with mint tea, it had a very bizarre taste

I teach mathematics full time (at the high school honors and college/university level).

The aspects of politics that appeal to me most are the chess-game aspects (with red and blue states and counties replacing black and white squares and pieces) and the statistical aspects. Perhaps only baseball has more statistics readily available.  I am also interested in demographic changes in the parties over time.

Historically I have voted Republican for President (from 1984 through 2008 I voted GOP 6 times and for none of the above once). I voted third party in the last 2 elections and regular vote a split or mixed ticket.

My attraction to Atlas is (1) exposure to various points of view in a respectful form and (2) learning about or becoming aware of political or social trends I may have been unaware of.

Hobbies:
Karaoke, board games

Trivia:
I didn't eat my first slice of pizza until I was 15.
I ran for treasurer my junior year in high school, losing by about 5% of the vote. (My campaign slogan was "It Makes Sense... and Cents".
I shared a university dorm with a nephew of Alan Dershowitz.
My Linear Algebra teacher in college was Glamour Magazine's Woman of the Year.

Rather than be seen as creating a thread "all about me!", I'll just post here.

It's Friday, August 17, 2018, shortly after 8 PM EDT.

My high school students return to school Monday. My university students return the following Monday. In addition, I am beginning a masters program in Liberal Studies and Leadership. (I already hold a masters degree in Applied Statistics).

At a relatively advanced age (I turn 52 in a few weeks), I look forward to learning more about my society, my country, and the world, and how to effectively lead in such a way that promotes the good that humanity has to offer.

Not only that, but I am planning to learn to speak Polish! (I have no Polish ethnicity that I am aware of, but a lot of my friends, neighbors, and associates do).

I have much to lean on: my Catholic faith, my public school education, the support of my family and friends. I feel I am reasonably informed, but I just want to say that the last few weeks of interacting with participants on the Forum (at times intensely) has caused me to examine some of my assumptions and, I think, made me a better person.

I sincerely hope you (the reader) feel the same about my posts, if that is what you seek from this Forum. If not, then I hope at least you aren't too bored or wish I would go away.

I will be very busy, and my visits to this Forum in the coming months will probably be few and far between. I look forward to this coming school year, and perhaps sharing a few of my newly-learned tidbits on this Forum.

Happy posting everyone!

First post on the forum, but I've lurked for so long I have a good grip on how Atlas operates - I'm finally posting because the restriction on viewing images finally forced my hand.

Age: 20s

Birthday: August 23

Gender: Male

Sexual orientation: Straight

Race: African-American

Birthplace: NYC

Residence: Henry County, Georgia (GA-3, HD-109, SD-17)

Occupation: College student (almost done, yay!)

Political alignment: Dem-leaning independent nowadays.

First election: 2014, but I voted provisional that year and forgot to go verify my ballot, so 2016. I vote in every last election, even if there's only a tax-related question on the ballot.

Electoral history:
  • Nov. 2014: Mostly Dem, but I split my ticket for Nathan Deal in his reelection bid.
  • Mar. 2016: Kasich in the GOP presidential primary.
  • May 2016: GOP in the state primary, but only because the guy primarying my then-state rep was a POS and the Dems didn't run a candidate for the seat.
  • Nov. 2016: Mostly Dem, but I split my ticket for a few county-level offices.
  • Jan. 2018: Dem (GA SD-17 special election).
  • May 2018: Dem in the state primary.
  • Nov. 2018: Straight-ticket Dem.
  • Dec. 2018: Straight-ticket Dem (the runoffs were close AF).

It's good to be back. It was a busy school year, which unfortunately saw the death of my stepfather (I've been looking after my Mom and had to quit studying Polish, at least for now).

I've made a few new comments and posts, mostly under Election Results, Election 2020, Past What-ifs, and Alternate histories. I just ran another mathematical model of the 2020 Presidential election, probably more accurate than the first one, but who really knows?

I enjoy karaoke and board games, as well as pop and some alternative, folk, and independent music.

Favorite country (again varying by region: Japan (overall/east Asia), Oman (western Asia), Benin (Africa), Finland (Europe), Chile (South America), Costa Rica (Caribbean), Canada (North America)
interests: photography, Japanese culture (leading naturally to anime), dolls, geography and travel (probably obvious here, despite being too poor to partake), meteorology, history, politics, psychology to some degree (because I like analyzing things) and recently I've become interested in reading health/nutrition articles though more as a form of education rather than a hobby--and interesting that practically all of these (save for the last few) encompass various aspects of photography

Well, to start, I'm currently a sophomore in high school, with an interest in electoral politics, as well as an interest in healthcare and economic policy. Male, White, come from British, Irish, French, and Norwegian ancestry, in other words, your average Minnesotan, which is my home state, obviously. I'm an agnostic atheist, but see the benefits of moderate religious activity towards someone's mental well being, despite the fact I don't participate in them personally. I identify as an independent social liberal, who believes in equality of opportunity, not an equality of outcome. I'm a strong advocate for universal healthcare, a mix of third way and progressive taxation, electoral reform of the EC, and the abolition of political parties. I supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary, due to his policy on universal healthcare, as well as my dislike for Hillary Clinton. Once the general election hit, in the school elections they had, I picked Hillary over Trump, due to her being the lesser of two evils to me, and since Minnesota was very close in 2016, I figured if I was actually voting, my vote would matter a lot in the long run, leading to my choice to picking Clinton. As of now, I'm supporting Andrew Yang for president right now, since when compared to every other candidate on both sides, I relate to him on most issues. My main non-political hobbies mostly consist of gaming, and making various maps, both political and non-political.

Hi everyone, I'm kinda new to this board got linked to it by election twitter. is their somewhere I can get general info about the community and it's composition ?

1. Welcome the forum!
2. This board (Forum Community) is a good place to get a good feel for the forum's culture, and the "Talk Elections Q & A" board is the best place to ask nuts-and-bolts questions about how this community operates.

We have a lot of in-jokes, technical and cultural site quirks, and intracommunity history and social dynamics that can take a while for newbies to get the hang of, but you'll pick up on them after posting for a while if you decide to stick around. I think it's worth it; to my mind this forum is the single most knowledgeable and least toxic community for both electoral analysis and general-purpose political discussion on the English-language internet.

Welcome again! The more the merrier.

Hi, my name is Nate. I'm 20 years old, and I live in Denver, Colorado, USA. I am a conservative, Trump supporter, and patriotic American, but I am open to discussing with the other side. I live, breathe, and speak Electoral College. (national popular vote is WORTHLESS!) I study, analyze, and read up about the EC for at LEAST two hours every day, and I have been doing so for the last three years.

I love math, coding, elections (obviously), among other things. I also play a lot of Minecraft. (I'm definitely more of a Creative than a Surivival guy). Bascially if it involves building, analyzing, or calculating, I'm into it.

I also have an election night simulator that I coded from scratch, and another one that simulates random trends & growth rates to states throughout the years. Feel free to ask me about it! I'd love to share it with you!

I would be happy to discuss with you your views on politics and the like, and you are more than welcome to disagree, but snarky remarks like that do not make for good conversation starters. You do not have to attack me simply for my political views. I could just as well say "Well, because you say 'Black Lives Matter', than you must hate all white people". But I'm not going to say that, because it's A) proabably not true, and B) unkind and slanderous. I came to this forum to discuss my love for the elctoral college and American politics in general, not to be harassed.

Please take that into consideration.

Half of the time that people "attack" other people on here, they're just joking around or they're just looking to post a snappy one-liner. I include myself in that description. I would recommend you ignore comments like that and don't take them personally, because they likely weren't intended to be personal.

Also, if you want to respond to a specific post, it makes threads less confusing if you Quote the specific post you are responding to.

Just in case you wanna see where I was born and raised: Last week, the heute show (mostly comparable to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) aired a (satirical) report about Brunsbüttel. That city of about 14,000 inhabitants is known for its (meanwhile decommissioned) nuclear power plant and for its entrance to the Kiel Canal. (Its English naming is actually pretty unfortunate, as Kiel lies at the other entrance to the Canal; in German the water path is therefore simply called North Sea-Baltic Sea-Canal.)
And exactly that canal, which provides a crucial shipping link between the North Sea and the Baltic states, led to the occasion of the TV report: the German-American trade relationship; Brunsbüttel has been planning on constructing LNG terminals - the first ones in Germany ever. The crux of the matter: Fracking will have been employed in order to extract the gas that will be shipped from the USA to Germany. Ecological crusaders are therefore up in arms about that project.
And yes, Brunsbüttel is really as bleak and dull as shown in the clip... ::)

I knew somebody would spot this unusual juxtaposition.  I was really referring to admiring living people rather than dead people.  There's nobody living that I admire.  However I guess the apostle Paul would be my favourite person from history.

I'm actually shocked you're just 14. Your posting style had me guess 18+.

Yeah, I initially thought he was an adult before he explicitly said he was 14.
Since then, though, he has dropped many clues on the subject.

I have absolutely no idea which thread to post this in, but does anyone else despise affluent suburbanites that listen to Garth Brooks, drive overpriced disgusting pickup trucks, and pretend to be cowboys/cowgirls even though they've never worked outdoors nor lived outside of a suburb in their lives? There's tons of these people in certain parts of Nebraska and I can't stand them.

the closest bar to my house is called RedNecks...in the middle of Omaha.  I don't think there are that many wearing the 'cowboy gear', but certainly some....and yes cowboy posers are clowns.  But are they any worse than the "thug poser" or the "fancy poser" (or surfer, skater, goth, stoner, athlete, pimp,etc)?  Posers suck.

Sure, but I have to look at the cowboy posers more often. I think a perfect comparison would be how people in post-war Europe resented the Nazis more while people in post-war Asia resented Imperial Japan more. It's not a competition, both were evil, it's just the those with first hand experience with one are going to hate that one more. That's how I feel about the fake cowboys that live in suburban homes and drink light beer at chain restaurants.

FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I only post bangers


Title: Re: All about yourself!
Post by: Kleine Scheiße on May 16, 2022, 08:40:50 AM
I just found out that my husband of thirty years has been having an affair with my niece's pharmacist's dog groomer. Thirty years down the drain. I think I'm going to vomit. How is it possible that we're not having the best of years?

I'm so disgusted that my first thought is to go get the gun. What's a woman to do?

This started about a month ago. I'd always been suspicious of the pharmacist because he's a womanizer and has about fifteen cats. And my niece works for him, so I knew she'd been seeing him.

And I think he always wanted my husband more than he did me because my husband's very attractive and I'm old and a little bit frumpy. And he's had an affair with every woman in our town (my husband included) except for me.

I didn't confront them for a while because my husband always felt bad and would always apologize. And I didn't say anything because I was hoping I'd somehow see the relationship end on its own and we could all go back to normal.

But it didn't end and it's gotten worse. I think this is the worst it's ever been. My husband and my niece are both at work and she has to travel a lot. They stay at her house when they go out. I have tried to confront her about it because she's so obvious and there's no way I can ignore her, but I never see her outside work. I can't go over there in person because she lives ten minutes away and my husband can't be gone that long.

So it has to be done online. So I've done some snooping and found a lot of inappropriate things. But I still don't know for sure if they're having sex. I'm not going to put my husband through that. So I thought I'd do the same to her but then realized I'd have to talk to her first because the other night we caught each other on camera doing something. It had to be done the night of the party at her house because if we'd waited until the next night, the camera would have been turned off and he would have gotten to her the next day. So I looked at the camera for ten minutes and it was at the right angle to see if there was any sex, but it wasn't.

But that night there were many, many, many texts between them. My husband had to leave because he was late and his wife was getting ready to go out with friends. I called and asked to speak to her and she told me to come over in person because she didn't have the time, so I hung up the phone. She knew I was calling her, and I think she knew I was going to show up at her house that night because I asked her to text me, but she didn't.

My husband is away this week, so he won't see. I'll show up this weekend.

Does she expect me to just let her go? It'll kill me. She's the worst kind of person.

Today marks my second anniversary on this forum, so it is time for a new update. Not much has changed since last year (actually very little) but still.

Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexuality: N/A
Ethnicity: Italian
Nationality: Italian
Religion: Christian, Roman Catholic
Height: 173 cm
Weight: 60 kg
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Green
Birthplace: La Spezia, Italy
Residence: La Spezia, Italy
Other places I have lived in: I rented a house in Pisa for a while, but I hardly ever went there so this is just for the record and does not really count.
Education: Scientific high school diploma
Occupation: None. Mathematics student at the University of Pisa.
Relationship status: Bachelor
Languages: Italian, English. A smattering of Spanish. I can understand other Romance languages variably well, better if written.
Best day of my life: Unsure but probably 25 May 2019. I went on stage at the civic theatre with my high school drama class for the last, and most gleeful, time.
Worst day of my life: 21 November 2020. My then-girlfriend broke up with me, ending the only romantic relationship I have had so far after more than four and a half years.
Political party: Independent
Political orientation: Last time I just said "Catholic" - looking back right now that feels like hybris... however "social-democrat" is very boring (and in my personal view the deriving values are similar) and any other answer would be too unwieldy and perhaps pointless.

Ideology: libertarian socialist, not very self-serious but I'm ardently anti-bigotry and worry about the long-term effects of climate change, capitalism, and intense authoritarianism that obviously creeps up under the guise of "populism" (often when there isn't a pro-people movement electorally relevant, hint-hint)

I have absolutely no idea which thread to post this in, but does anyone else despise affluent suburbanites that listen to Garth Brooks, drive overpriced disgusting pickup trucks, and pretend to be cowboys/cowgirls even though they've never worked outdoors nor lived outside of a suburb in their lives? There's tons of these people in certain parts of Nebraska and I can't stand them.

I'm from America by the way, to answer this thread's question.

I tick off about half of those attributes:

✅Affluent suburbanite
✅Garth Brooks enjoyer
❌Drives overpriced truck - but I hope to do so one day
❌Pretends to be cowboy
✅Never had a job that involves outdoor work
✅Never lived outside of a suburb (though technically always in satellite towns)

✅Affluent suburbanite
❌Garth Brooks enjoyer
❌Drives overpriced truck (oversized but not overpriced - bought it used for a bit under 20k)
❌Pretends to be cowboy
❌Never had a job that involves outdoor work
❌Never lived outside of a suburb

✅Affluent suburbanite (kinda)
❌Garth Brooks enjoyer (I do listen to country music primarily, but don’t care for GB)
❌Drives overpriced truck (Chevy Silverado that I got for a good deal)
❌Pretends to be cowboy (I don’t think so? I do wear cowboy boots when I wear jeans, but don’t do the whole buckle or hat thing. I guess I drive a truck, wear boots, and listen to country music, but I wouldn’t consider that a weekend cowboy though. Just a typical southerner)
❌Never had a job that involves outdoor work (I hated it though haha)
❌Never lived outside of a suburb (lived in rural and city)

Other pertinent info: I’m a veteran and recent college grad in my 20s that likes screwing men and women

- Last year, I bought the same pilot-style Ray Ban sunglasses as Joe Biden’s.
- My paternal great-grandfather was briefly General Secretary of the Greek Communist Party in the 1940s and communist partisan fighter (he died even before my dad was born). I guess he’d despise my political stances and my mostly pro-Western/pro-American views today.

If you're of mixed Russian/Ukrainian descent why not either pick a Ukraine avatar or go without a country avatar until they create one for Kazakhstan? The Russia avatar is not going to be perceived as politically neutral atm

This is my little revenge for not making an avatar for Kazakhstan. Okay, in the end I can just do without the avatar.

How did you (or your family) become Roman Catholic?
I asked the local Catholic priest to convert me to a Catholic because the Russian Orthodox Church supports the war and ROC is involved in Putin's propaganda, and there are no other Orthodox churches in Kazakhstan.

I sometimes come to Astana and I worked for some time in Balkhash. I also visited Karkaralinsk, Atyrau, Kostanay, Uralsk. Central Asia does not really interest me for travel, to be honest. I prefer countries with much nicer service and a much more comfortable climate.

Thank you for the compliment for Kazakhstan. Where exactly were you? Have you been to any natural attractions?

Yeah, it's just wild.

Related, a lot of 2020 Arkansas results are odd and all over the place. Nothing extraordinarily high, but in one county, you have Kanye West, J.R. Myers, Brock Pierce, Rocky de la Fuente, and Gloria La Riva getting more votes than Jo Jorgensen [Desha County] - it's a wild ride.

probably should do this again because the last time I did was when I joined seven years ago

- I'm a guy
- I'm from ottawa, was born here and have lived here my whole life
- I'm 24, turning 25 in november
- would describe myself as decently left wing, probably a social democrat or a democratic socialist if I had do? it's not really something that I care to think about too deeply
- I've voted for the NDP every time I've voted so far, also kind of open to the Greens, or maybe the Liberals in a huge pinch (currently living in Pierre Poilievre's riding so uh yeah in the very unlikely event that he's as close to defeat as he was in 2015 I'd maybe vote LPC? "stretch opportunity in a seat where there are no other options than them or a tory MP I particularly dislike" is what it would take to maybe vote for them lmao)
- would generally be a more progressive Dem in the US
- some of my interests outside of elections are music (into a lot of stuff but rn I generally gravitate towards like, post-hardcore, alt rock, uk garage, and pop. my last.fm username is also lyhom so maybe check that out if you want a better explanation), video games, and tv (usually game shows or reality shows tbh)
- haven't really posted much because frankly I don't have many interesting things to say or special knowledge on stuff tbh. getting kind of sick of not being able to see images though so maybe I'll get to 20 posts soon

Yes, I know, but it's mainly about the prices of local products, materials, handicrafts, hiring local labor and prostitutes' price. For example, household appliances, video games, donations to streamers, food at branded eateries and restaurants, branded clothing and foreign travel cost exactly the same as in the United States. Thus, an common Kazakhstani can afford many times less.

Three years on the forum today! Sigh.

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality: N/A
Ethnicity: Italian
Nationality: Italian
Religion: Christian, Roman Catholic
Height: 173 cm
Weight: 61 kg
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Green
Birthplace: La Spezia, Italy
Residence: La Spezia, Italy
Other places I have lived in: I rented a house in Pisa for a while, but I hardly ever went there so this is just for the record and does not really count.
Education: Scientific high school diploma
Occupation: None. Mathematics student at the University of Pisa.
Relationship status: Bachelor
Languages: Italian, English, trying to upgrade my little Spanish. A smattering of Portuguese maybe? I can variably understand other Romance languages bla bla bla.
Best day of my life: Unsure but I think either 25 May 2019 [see old updates] or 2 March 2023 - a beautiful day I spent on holiday to Lisbon partying with people met there, visiting magnificent spots and watching live fado.
Worst day of my life: 21 November 2020. My then-girlfriend broke up with me, ending the only romantic relationship I have had so far after more than four and a half years.
Political party: Independent
Political orientation: I am going to say "social democrat" because contemporary Italy's dearth of ideology has been on my mind recently so that sounds countercultural and non-conformist.
Interests: Mathematics, geography and travel, politics and elections, data mapping, religion and theology, linguistics, literature, music, stationery, nib pens and other ~retro~ objects, collecting playing cards, trying foreign cuisines, occasionally watching weird foreign channels on satellite TV.
Random facts to make this exercise less boring: I have bad sight in my left eye only. I have been to Northern Ireland but not to Great Britain. I dislike wine, which regularly causes people to question my Italianness. My hair had blond tufts when I was a child but they're all gone now. I sometimes pray in multiple languages at once.

Looks: Bored
Location: Burlington, Brooklyn

Political Party: Officially non-partisan, identifying with the Democratic tent
Political views: I think "social democrat" is the best label. I am ambiguous on the label of "socialist" given how many complete morons call themselves that, but this is true of every political label. I am not a socialist but you can call me one, I don't care, I do it too.
Economic policy: Capitalism is a mode of production that has tremendous upsides and catastrophic downsides, I am ambiguous to skeptical on the question of transcending it but I committed to the question of building a robust, equitable structure around it.
Social policy: People should do what they want, most of the time.
Foreign policy: The responsible promotion of human liberty on a global scale is a good thing. War is deeply evil, war is hell, and sometimes war is the only reasonable option.
