Oh, sure, a lot of you are saying, "Wait a minute, Keruvalia, NS is a game and an internet forum!"

However, in my brief time here, I have noticed some amazing trends that make it very much like real life.

Some points to ponder:

1] In the latest UN resolution brought to a vote, less than half (44%) of the eligable voters actually voted. Sound familiar?

2] Constant repetition of the same old sad, tired ranting. Anyone who's ever watched more than 2 hours of any 24 hour news network (CNN, MSNBC, etc) knows this happens in real life.

3] Constant rising up of puppet nations is a direct reflection of television. Ever notice how most TV shows these days are the same premise as some other show, just with different faces?

What a zany forum in which we dwell. Anyone else notice anything they can add?

He's sailing on the sea of thousand threads.

And they never cancel the bad shows.

Yet they cancel the better ones sometimes.

Why cancel the monty python thread? I liked that one.

Hooked them off for booze money, eh?

A couple of medicine shows are a great example of that. I hate, despise, detest (use whatever word you want) "ER" and it's been on for 10 years or so. :mad: On the flip side, I loved "Presidio Med" and that didn't even last a whole season. :(

And they never cancel the bad shows.
Or the cheap knock-offs.

The same can be said for the BAD threads and cheap knock-offs.

The TIN man is never the same, always different. To rant about the same thing all the time would be boring for jim.
