8. For the most part people on here maintain a pleasant tone while debating issues.

4. George Washington
5. Winston Churchill
6. From my dad. He grew up in SC and was th first Republican in his family ever. He still has a "help uncle Strom elect Nixon" bumpersticker in the attic.
As for a specific event, probably the Oslo War (begen Rosh Hashana, in September, 2000, ongoing.)
7. From a friend about a year ago. I looked at some maps, thought "neat!" and left. I just recently stumbled on this site again and found the forum.
8. I really like the primary maps, and hope more come out soon.
9. Any PC games with the Europa Universalis engine, other favorite games are FF7 and Ocarina of Time. Also Red Alert 2. Reading politics and Fantasy (I've just rediscovered Tolkien for obvious reasons, first read the hobbit at 7 and LOTR at 10, Silmarillion at 12. Hated Silmarillion. Chris Tolkien can't write.)
10. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, tied with Spaceballs
11. Battle Cry of Freedom (George F. Root), tied with Swanee River (Stephen Collins Foster)
12. I'm a llama!
Also, I notice most people here are much older than me- I'm 17 and a senior in high school.

I'm not much older than you, M. I'm only 20, a college student. Remember, it's always good to be young and politically active. Having said that, there should be MORE young people at this forum, because most of the members of this forum are old fogeys who voted in every election since 1860. Many of them make Strom Thurmond look like a toddler. (Just kidding, of course)

but, that's so cool that you're young. I am a conservative democrat myself. So, welcome to the forum. I got interested in politics at the age of 4. Been gung ho ever since.

[Nym90]

1. What's your name? Eric
2. Where do you live? Marquette, MI
3. What's your political affiliation (Rep, Dem, Ind)? Democrat
4. Who's your favourite President of all-time? Franklin Roosevelt
5. Who's your favourite international leader of all-time? Jean Chretien
6. How did you get interested in politics? From my father, I remember watching the debates with him in 1984 at age 5 and I was hooked.
7. How did you discover this forum? I was an avid reader of Dave's site when the original forum was first created. I originally found the site through Google.
8. What do you like most about it? Intellectual interactions with intelligent people.
9. What are your other interests, apart from politics? Sports, especially soccer, ice hockey, and american football, reading, the outdoors, 80s music (especially New Wave), the Dave Matthews Band, Seinfeld, computer adventure games, interactive fiction, spending time with and talking to my best friends and girlfriend.
10. What's your favourite movie? Hmm, hard one. I love the Matrix and Lord of the Rings series among current stuff. Also like a lot of old classics.
11. What's your favourite song? Again, impossible to pick one. Just about anything by the Dave Matthews Band or the Police could be near the top, although I love the classic bands too like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc.

We have scary similarities. I also love Europa Universalis, fantasy, Monty Python and Mel Brooks. Heard Battle Cry of Freedom in connection with playing Battleground-games. I wouldn't call it my favourite, but I definitely liked it. I played Red Alert I but never got around to buying number II.

Still, nice to have someone around with a similar profile!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'm under 20 but that's all I'm saying!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Age[years]: Under 20
Age[cynicism]: 125

[migrendel]

I'm only 22, so this is a very statistically young board.

[Wakie]

Typically I feel young at 26 ... but here I feel like an old man.  I'm about ready to start asking what people do for a living (I'm an independent IT consultant and I own a small business on the side).

That is cool! Just got Vicky last night, haven't quite figured out the basics yet. Do you use the paradox forum? If so, what is your username?

I'm 37.  I feel ancient.  
I think jmfcst is around my age (he has said he is married and works, etc.) but I doubt we will ever know his age.

I'm on the Paradox Forums every once in a blue moon.  I avidly posted there for awhile, but stopped.  I like this one more, not as many people post, it feels more like a tight nit community.

Yes, we are a tightly knit community.  Many of us know eachother well from the old forum.

No I don't, but probably will now! I love the historically contradicting things you can do, so I am constantly trying to get somewhere with the aztecs or China. Feel free to mail me about the forum.

FF7 is easily my favourite game of all-time! Probably the first game which really blew me away. Ah, memories...

I'm only 22, so this is a very statistically young board.

I'm 24, which is probably the average age around here... I'm surprised Realpolitik and M are under 20.

[12th Doctor]

Sorry, would have done this sooner if not for my long absence.



1. Chris
2. Reynoldsville, PA  (I go to school in Erie, PA so I spend most of the year up there, but I'm originally from Reynoldsville and I don't plan to move back after school, I might stay in Erie, but I'm thinking of moving south to Virginia or North Carolina)
3. Republican
4. Reagan
5. Churchill
6. I just sorta did.  My family is Republican on one side and Democrat on the other.  The Democrat side turned me off.
7. Hmmm.  Discovered the atlas first, about a year ago.  Discovered the forum a month and a half ago.
8. Don't have many friends who are political (even though I'm a Poli Sci major, so go figure).  So I like to discuss subjects and get others oppinions.
9. History, Reading, Writing (mainly political thrillers and counter-factual stories, nothing published) Baseball and Football.
10. Lord of the Rings (all three)
      Saving Private Ryan
      Gettysburg
      Patton
11. Don't know, really.
12. Nothing really.  You can ask if you want to know.

P.S.  This reminds me of a dating website LOL

I'm very surprised Realpolitik is under 20.  He acts like a middle-aged man who has seen the world...

some were talking about their backgrounds and so I said I put my educationa nd background somewhere in my postings, but simply here that I was an attorney.
