I don't think Florida would do that. They're controlled by conservatives. You're much more likely to find such behavior coming out of a state like Maryland.

 

 

 

If Maryland decided that killing white people was completely lawful and acceptable, would you have a problem with that?

Do you like Anime?

I don't dislike it, but I'm not an obsessed fan either. I mainly like Dragon Ball Z, Rurouni Kenshin, and Yu Yu Hakusho. Death Note was interesting too.

If you were the President name your first 3 executive orders.

1. Bring back presidential impoundment and refuse to spend money on unconstitutional activities. This would mean roughly 70% or so of federal spending would immediately cease, including Social Security and Medicare.
2. Send out a letter to every Governor that unconstitutional opinions of the Supreme Court will not be enforced, including on issues of abortion, sodomy, and same-sex marriage, and that every state is free to enforce their existing laws on such matters without interference from the federal government.
3. Order every government agency to begin a review of every regulation that does not adhere to a strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution as was understood by those that wrote it and to not enforce any that are unconstitutional under such an interpretation.

I imagine Congress would be seeking to remove me from office before long. 😂

What are your thoughts on cancel culture? 

Because most RuneScapers are social democrats from Europe.

 

I obviously don't like cancel culture. We probably should be giving them a taste of their own medicine to see how they like it though.

Do you believe being gay is a mental disease? If so, wouldn't that contradict your stance on psychology/mental illnesses? 

I don't believe being gay is a mental disease. The same goes for transgenderism. I just believe they've been influenced by some bad people to believe in some bad ideas. You can call it brainwashing if you like, or socialization. Either way, their values are flawed and that's why they engage in the behaviors they choose to engage in.

 

Oh, and just to be clear, I define "gay" as those who choose to engage in sexual activities with others of the same sex. I don't define it based on "attractions."

I'm not sure if anyone has asked you this already:

Have you ever spoken to Jmods before in length? and what about? 

Sure. A variety of matters.

 

I tried asking for the 200m Xp limit to be raised many years ago. Andrew told me to instead go train the new skill that was coming out. I also helped Andrew test some keyboard features for his new game engine. There were compatibility issues with American keyboards.

 

I did a big interview with Mod Timbo over my TMOA clan that was supposed to be published on the website. Jagex ended up removing those before mine got released. I was a bit upset about that, especially since I had negotiated getting that in exchange for giving up having our own custom banner we had won to have ingame from a competition we did.

 

Mod Ash and I have also had numerous discussions over Twitter, as well as various other OSRS JMods. I got into a debate with Mod West.

do you believe liberal democracy is obsolete? 
 

Do you believe violence is automatically negative by nature? 

Do you believe Texas should aspire for national self sufficiency through protectionism and economic policies? 

 

I never really supported democracy. I think it's overrated. We are a constitutional federated republic. I think we should limit voting to only property owners like they used to do in the old days.

 

I don't believe that all violence is bad, but I do believe any use of it should be done in accordance with the law.

 

I strongly oppose protectionism. Texas has been booming due to free trade. In fact, there is a long tradition in the South that opposes protectionism. The Confederate Constitution actually banned it entirely.

If every character from Ruroni Kenshin and Yuyu Hakusho teamed up, could they defeat Krillin in battle?  You mentioned in DBZ, you most associate with Vegeta.  Who are you in the Kenshin world?

 

Did you support Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in 2012?  If so, was your opinion of him substantially different back then? If not, do you regret not voting for what you may (or perhaps maybe didn't) view as the lesser of two evils?

 

If you were faced with a coding issue - you have limited time in your job.  You can either update a 20,000 line application you've developed to a more modern language (say Visual Basic -> Python) or you can focus your time on improving algorithms in the existing model.  How do you spend your time?

 

What was your all-time favorite Superbowl commercial? 

 

Given your regrets for watching porn, if you saw an "accidental" nudity slip in a Twitch stream or on TV, would you feel shame, or would you have accepted that it was out of your control?

I like Mormons. I consider them strong allies, especially in the fight against substance abuse. I just don't agree with their particular theological views. Utah is also another booming state, although it's a bit more expensive to live there than it is here.

My great grandfather was actually a Palestinian that came from the West Bank. He married an Italian Catholic in America and his kids were raised Catholic. I am very much well aware that race does not determine your religion seeing as I am living proof of that.

 

The fighting that is going on between Israel and Palestine is religious in nature. Christian Arabs actually do support Israel. What you actually see happening is a war of Muslims attacking the Jews. They religiously oppose the Jews.

 

Evangelicals are huge supporters of the Jews. We recognize that it is their homeland and that certain prophecies of Jesus returning do not go into effect until the Jews regain the Holy Land. One should also recognize that, in an incredibly short time, they have created a prosperous modern civilization in what was an otherwise empty desert. They are surrounded by degenerate barbarians that have failed to accomplish anything of the sort. Why would I side with those that embrace failed ways?

See above.

See above.

Yes, but not criminal lives. You do not have the right to resist arrest. Law enforcement have the right to use whatever force is necessary to conduct a lawful arrest. Every incident of supposed police brutality that I have ever seen has always involved a suspect resisting arrest. Law enforcement acted professionally and were justified in their actions.

As a Palestinian-American who once lived in Palestine you couldn't be further from the truth, but that doesn't surprise me considering the nonsense crap you've been spewing this entire thread lmao. The MAJORITY of Christian Arabs oppose Israel AND Israel also displaces Palestinian Christians...not just Muslims. Again I wouldn't expect you to know this, but dont talk about a subject that you clearly know nothing of –  your great grandfather being Palestinian doesn't give you an ounce of credibility. I couldn't give two fucks about what any ridiculous religion or man in the sky says in regards to who has rights to the land (that includes Islam)...any human-being with a miniscule amount of decency would agree forcibly kicking families out of their homes/sniping medical staff/beating women/bombing and killing a beach that children were playing on are despicable crimes. Not sure if you know this but Israel came before Hamas. Also, Muslims are allowed to marry Jews so that doesn't really back your statement. Muslims hate Israel...not Jews.

I'm not a god blessed American and we don't learn about American History because we have 2000 years of our own history to learn so I'm not too sharp on your history

 

Why did the south only secede when the union wanted to outlaw slavery? 

The American colonies fought to secede from Britain because Britain was attempting to centrally govern them after the colonies had already been self-governing entities for over a century. It's actually a mistake to think that taxes were the cause of the American Revolution. It was the British government not sticking to its constitutional limitations and interfering with the right of self-government of the American people. The American colonies had their own legislatures, and had those individual legislatures voted for taxes, then there wouldn't have been any problem. After the war was concluded, the treaty with Britain enshrined recognition of 13 independent and sovereign states, not 1 American state. A state in legal terms is equivalent to what we call commonly today refer to as a country.

 

Texas as well fought to secure its right to self-government. The Mexican President decided to seize power and toss out the 1824 constitution that guaranteed federalism within Mexico. The Texas Revolution, just like the American Revolution, was a war fought between centralists and federalists.

 

The American Civil War also goes by other names, such as the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between The States. It too was a similar fight between centralists and federalists. The Radical Republicans in the Northern states wanted to end slavery in the Southern states, even though they had no constitutional authority to interfere with domestic state policy, not even through the federal government. States had the constitutional right to have laws that other states didn't like.

 

It gets even more complicated than this though. The Constitution was in many ways a contract between the states. As part of the contract, a condition was added that those who break the laws in one state and then flee to another must be returned back to the original state where the crime was committed. This Extradition Clause, and the Fugitive Slave Clause, were of paramount importance and the Southern states would never have ratified the Constitution and joined the Union without it. Over the years, though, 14 Northern states passed what are known as personal liberty laws which refused to return escaped slaves back to the South. In 1859, the Supreme Court even ruled against them on this, but Northern states still refused to follow their constitutional obligations.

 

With the election of President Lincoln, the South saw that they would expect no help from the federal government in seeing the Constitution enforced. Since the Northern states refused to abide by their constitutional obligations, then the Constitution was considered null and void and no longer applied to them either, just as what happens when any party breaks a contract. The Southern states then reverted back to their prior status as fully independent and sovereign states. Everything I just described here is what the official Declarations of Causes of Secession passed by the Southern states discussed.

 

The Northern states refused to abide by the Constitution and created the conflict. They then engaged in a war of conquest, tossing out all rule of law, to shove their desired policies down the throats of Southerners against their will. They didn't stop at ending slavery. They also passed big government spending programs like public education, something very strongly opposed by conservatives even to this day. Even before secession, the South was paying 80% of all taxes in the country while the North received the bulk of federal spending. There was a redistribution of wealth from the South to the North that upset many.

 

Here even is Confederate President Jefferson Davis speaking to how the war was about the right to self-government:

Likud governs favorably towards Christian Arabs and, among the Arabs that do vote for Likud, Christians are overrepresented among them. Likud MP Yariv Levin put forth and got passed a bill that provided official recognition for Christian Arabs as a separate minority group.

 

The Christian Arabs, “our natural allies,” differ from the Muslims “who want to destroy the state from within,” Levin said.

Have you ever actually met/had a conversation with a Palestinian Christian? This may come as a surprise to you, but I've actually got plenty of Palestinian Christian friends :P. Also forgot to mention, but isn't it odd seeing so many orthodox Jews protest against Israel? Not to mention the fact that there's also Jews currently living in Israel that speak out against Israel.

Reliability and resale value. Besides, Toyota trucks are not really foreign. The Toyota North American truck division is run by a red-blooded conservative American. Toyota is actually a pretty conservative company and does not rush into embracing new technologies before they're mature.

 

Also Toyota is currently the only truck maker in Texas.

If @true were to step down as leader and asked you to lead our wonderful clan of boomers do you think you could handle it?

 

if so, what kind of rules/policies/changes do you think you would make from the start? 
 

what kind of goals would you have for us as a clan? 
 

what kind of impact would you like to have on the clan world? Good, bad, otherwise. 
 

would you want people outside of the clan to respect you?

 

what kind of leadership could we expect from you? 

Most of my friends are actually boomers, so this wouldn't be too unusual. That said, I'm not a pker, so I don't think I'd be the right person to lead this clan.

 

I would ban botting from the clan and not allow for toxic behavior, to have a better cultural environment, but I also would not censor people for their political beliefs either. Hate speech is free speech as far as I'm concerned.

 

It depends. How okay are you with shifting into the skilling world? 😛

 

I used to run my own top skilling clan back in the 2011-2013 era. We were TMOA, the True Masters of Agility. Originally started as a clan for people doing 120 Agility, we expanded into a clan that focused on getting 200m in skills. People's ranks were determined by having high xp in difficult skills. Maxing all 99s gave you no benefits. Suomi was our best member and we were widely respected in the skilling community.

 

I am not suitable to be the leader of any clan at this time though because I no longer actively play RuneScape. I am quite active on my personal Discord server though. Y'all are welcome to join. 🙂

We have dedicated political roles based on your political beliefs. The rules are pretty lenient.
