Which simply shows you have poor appreciation for allegory.

On the contrary, I love allegories. They just have to, you know, make sense.

I'm not even sure your strange statement was an allegory. Although it might be a language barrier. The Danish word for allegory is usually translated directly (allegori to allegory) but covers some other areas iirc. I'm not sure for example on the English distinction between allegory and simile.

If anyone's up to it, I might play a few rounds of DotA 2 tonight. Or perhaps WoW.

Your understanding of allegory is accurate.

On allegories: this is a really fun read in spite of some latent popery.

Care to cite examples or at least be more specific? It doesn't seem like a bad idea to me so long as you keep yourself to some basic standards of artistic integrity in the process.

Artistic integrity? In our* NES forum?

* I imagine that I've been inactive for so long that people might be more comfortable that I say "your" instead.

Artistic integrity is, of course, secondary to community inclusiveness, which surpasses literally every other concern put together.

 

[Terrance888]

Pffff. Inclusiveness is the only thing valued here. Take your artistic integrity and gtfo :3

The CFC-cret police don't take too kindly to such remarks.

Hey, I'm just outlining forum policy, neither endorsing it or denouncing it.

That's PDFP (newspeak for "public discussion of forum policy") and it is thoughtcrime - a capital offense. You are hereby sentenced to death.

LoE, I beleive that your position is not true. China and the Islamic World do not have a tradition of democracy and do not need it. The West, in order to hide it's imperialism, says that it wants to export democracy and has been very good in spreading propaganda that democracy is a global concept, when it is a Western one and a foreign to China and the Islamic World.

Christos, you're as bad at comparative government as someone who is very, very, very bad at comparative government.

I'll also point you at South Korea and Japan's robust, if flawed, democracies.

This is the reason nobody respects you, christos -- because you're aggressively ignorant and unwilling to learn.

Who was sentenced to be vaporized? Vaporization never happened. Unpersons never existed.

South Korean and Japanese democracy was not imposed by it's people on it's leadership, but by the USA occupation. Not to say that despite this, democracy failed in South Korea until the last few years. As for Turkey, it has always been closer to the West. Taiwan is the exception, not the rule.

Do not understand your post. Where have been aggressive? You are the one who is aggressive right now. Also, having an other opinion is not the same as 'unwilling to learn'. So much for supporting democracy.

I do not support the GD, because I believe that all ethnic groups are equal (in fact, I have a Pakistani friend), I do not believe in the economic policy that the GD proposes, I am pro-EU and believe that Europe should become a Federal State and I also do not believe in the concept of having a Great Leader.

As for democracy, I believe that only those who are educated (have graduated from certain universities) should vote. How can you expect someone who does not know with which countries we border, or some basic economics, or the geopolitical and military situation to vote?

 

[Luckymoose]

I think we can learn a lot from Christos. Like how a Pakistani lives in Greece. I thought all Greeks were Slavs, but damn you guys went downhill.

 

[qoou]

I thought all Greeks were Slavs.

ing ouch. Those guys hate being called Slavs even more than Romanians, what with the Makedonia situation and all.

 

[christos200]

It seems that because you have no arguments, you just insult. That proves that I am right.

 

[Luckymoose]

There is an argument?

You think that it's insulting to be called a Slav? Isn't that rasist?
