As a Baby Boomer, when it came to punishments, PaTex used the belt (the thin one was worse than the wider one) and when it came to MaTex, it was a switch from "The Switch Tree". As we got older, she made us pick our own switch, and woe be unto us if it was too small, for she would pick a replacement switch that was much worse than we would have selected if we had thought it out. Oh yeah, the backs of the legs were worse than the butt. And, for you anti-spanker wankers, we turned out just fine and rarely, if ever, repeated the undesirable action.

I'm going with Pats vs Rams for the SB. KC is vastly overrated against elite competition and their D is very suspect especially against teams that can manage any sort of rushing attack. Yes they're at home but this time of year belongs to NE and Brady and they throttled the team that beat the Chiefs a few weeks back.

For the NFC side Im rolling with LA not only for their D but that rushing attack. Being able to have two 100-yd rushers in one game is something that has to be game planned for. Furthermore with the way NO struggled with Philly's D which isn's as good as LA could make for a long afternoon for Brees seeing the injuries the Saints sustained on the O line last night and he was under constant duress.

I’m well-mannered but used to be struck with extreme fear when it’s time to receive my school report card.

B’s: 5 strokes of the Rattan cane
C's, D’s, E’s & F’s: 10 strokes of the Rattan cane

My mother caned me first, then my father caned me. Getting caned with the Rattan cane turned me into a Straight A student.

Oh, was not immune from the paddle with holes. The school's disciplinarian, Coach, had the paddles, with and without, holes prominently displayed in his office behind his chair. The horror stories were great enough that we never personally experienced either one.

This would probably be a bad time to mention I'm a Math teacher, apparently. XD

None of them are old enough to know better yet. (See the number of votes Hillary and Bernie got.)

More like between baby boomer and the hippies.

Someone is hassling me about trading for my Frisbeeteria card. I've already said no twice, but they're not giving up.

Do NOT trust your Friendly Neighborhood Mod on that one anyone. Fris may have the best deck in The World.

NewTexas will go on record as AGAINST on this Resolution. This is only the opinion of NewTexas. We look forward to other Texans' opinions and comments on this Resolution. If good arguments to the contrary are made, we will reconsider our position.

If you would like to take part in shaping the world you live in, please vote. Voting is a right and a privilege, please consider using it. And, if you are not a member of the World Assembly, we strongly encourage you to join.

Way to go Dad. You’ve turned to the dark side! Now who’s gonna defend us from Mom? :(

However, based on your answers to my questions you're naughty teenage boys who deserved to be punished. You don't need your Dad to defend you from your Mom if you behave like young gentlemen. I'd take your Mom's punishment over what I was given when I was a naughty little girl and needed to be punished:

Ditto and I’m not a baby boomer. :D

There's a belt hanging on the wall next to our front door as a subtle reminder to my siblings and I to behave or else we'll be punished with it. We see it every day when we enter or exit our house. My siblings and I called it “THE BELT” and its used by both parents to punish us.

I’m really sorry for telling him, and I quote myself, “I hate you Dad! Die!” on Chrismas Day right after he lectured us to grow up, be more mature and stop pranking people.

I'm curious to know how your Dad punished you for saying that to him and why did you say he’s turned to the dark side?

No time is a bad time! Math is my favorite subject and I’m sure you’re a good teacher. :)

To discuss the latest resolution before the World Assembly, I have received a telegram from the 'Imperial Empire of Riakou' in which they plead for us not to vote for this particular resolution for two primary reasons:

1. The nation putting forward the resolution is merely trying to get themselves counted, so they can say, 'look at all the stuff we've done',
2. It's a one-liner resolution from a nation that has been criticized for its difficult to understand resolutions.

Narusegawa will vote no on this resolution.

Point 1 is incorrect: The nation proposing the resolution already has over 20 resolutions to its name, so no more badges to gain for this...
My WA nation voted against this on the basis that it is unreasonable for the GA to tell its democratic members how to manage their elections while its many non-democratic members -- who would be unaffected by this measure -- are allowed to vote on this.

its like pokemon or magic or yughio you collect cards in packs then you trade for the ones you want

The current resolution before the WA is just one more intrusion into national sovereignty.

Ok thanks and where do I find these cards to start collecting/trading them?

Frisbeeteria wrote:

Answer issues, and you have about a 10% chance of drawing a pack. Look for the cards icon under your Political Freedom score on your nation page.

There's a whole forum devoted to the game, right at the bottom of the Index page. Go read.

Thanks a lot!

Next poll is up, which remaining football team do you want to win?
