[quote=@Lugubrious] By 'politics' I'm talking about the election process, and by 'we' I mean individual people like me and Cyclone. For instance, we don't make who's trying to be Britain's Prime Minister our business, because we don't rightly understand the political situation in Britian and it's be hasty and stupid to make assumptions based on whatever people say the most. Way to blow everything out of proportion of what's actually being discussed. For your information, I'm well aware of the country's involvement in others'. Wasn't what I was talking about, though. As the GM, aren't you supposed to be the least contentious person here, and attempt to stymie political jabs and arguments rather than incite them? I don't know what your need to assert yourself over Americans is, but it's not nice. [/quote] As a person who is so well-informed, you should realise the effects the USA has all over the world. American politics, presidents, economy et al has an effect on everyone all over the world. This is our planet, it's not our fault the USA happens to be the global hegemon and controller of the fates of billions. But in any case, much of what I say is said in jest (though the above isn't) and that doesn't carry well over the internet. I have nothing against Americans, I just find how much you guys dislike all things British quite amusing (like the whole biscuit/cookie thing xDD) And yes, you're right, I shouldn't be inciting political strife. If anyone has anything insightful and not too controversial or offensive, feel free to say. This is an open platform and I fully support tolerant, humorous and elevated discourse.
