    It's a test to weed out the weak.

    Like applying for citizenship. "What day of the week was Thomas Jefferson born on?" "Oh shit, I guess I'm not cut out to be an American. I better get the fuck out of here!"

    I could understand it if they required a basic proficiency in English, but why do they need immigrants that fare better in American History than the average American? I mean, it's not like the boats took a steep turn at Ellis Island if the passengers couldn't recite the Declaration of Independence verbatim.

    Back in ye olde 'White Australia Policy' days (about 40 odd years ago) some immigrants (non whites) were required to undertake a test of sorts in 'a European language' that way if a guy with great English showed up we'd just give him the test in French.

    You British offshoots also celebrated the First White Child whenever you established a new colony. There'd be no end to the wailing should that happen today.

    Just goes to show that you cannot have successful bureaucracy without a catch 22.

    Technically it can still happen. They can celebrate the birth of the first child. If that child happens to be white every single time, you could just say that white people have more unprotected sex in that particular area than anyone else, the ethnicity of the predominant population be damned.

    *DarkUnderlord wonders why he's getting PM'd by people asking to be unbanned*

    *DarkUnderlord finds this thread*

    *DarkUnderlord though that mathboy was away given he wants his Nation sat*

    *DarkUnderlord thinks that clearly this must be some kind of imposter who's impersonating mathboy*

    *mathboy figures he's going to email DarkUnderlord about being back, but realizes it's nice to have your nation sat, so he enters the admin panel looking to demote DarkUnderlord for acting against the majority of administrators when he unbanned the dark form*

    Please don't do that asterisk action thing. It's why I stopped going into website chatrooms to speak derisively toward anime porn fanboys.

    Stuff like that haunts my dreams.

    Well there was quite a bit of it in this thread done by more than one person, that may be why I started feeling nauseous.
    Just keep doing what feels natural, I'll try and keep an open mind.
    However, that was some of the spammiest spam I've ever seen. You have to be a little more discerning in your posts to hang out here. A little bit is ok, but that was slightly more than you should spam considering you're a newer face.

    it is noted and I also note that 8 days old is considered gravediging. (I thought it was 10 days.)

    Well actually the gravedig thing wasn't an issue. Our biggest beef here is when a topic is more than a few months old and then someone drops in and says something retarded to bump it to the top of the list. But, for the most part, if you're still adding to the conversation, a month or two months is acceptable. More than that and you should start up a new topic.

    Wouldn't surprise me, mathboy deleted Van Stran's account because he felt like it at the time.

    Who on this site is an admin and who is a moderator? Or are there just different levels of admin, with mathboy being at the top?
