NationStates Jolt Archive

We've all been able to piece some things together about certain posters we interact with, but we may have a few more questions, or may want to confirm something about them. This is no guarantee anything you ask a poster is going to be answered, but I thought we could put it out there anyway.

For example:

Whispering Legs...you are half-Korean, half white? Have been married twice and divorced, are married again, and work as a lawyer? You have grown up kids (not sure how many), and you live in the US? You are moderately right wing, but you support more open immigration. Is this right?

Again, no one has to give any personal information away that they don't want to!

Jolt is painfully slow today...but are there really no takers?

Wow. Complete silence. *wanders off to cry in a corner*

good thread, sinahue. i think it is the forums, to blame , for the slow response.

Thank whatever Pagan gods you pray to Occ! I thought I was all alone on this deserted forum...

Jolt is driving me INSANE today...

For example:

Yes. Was also in the military until 1991. Probably a more traditional conservative (not a neo-con). A believer in more personal freedom, smaller government, etc.

Pro-choice, against the war on drugs, pro-gun, anti-racism, pro-immigration, well, hope that provides a picture...

not bad for me today, mwuhaha

just can't think of any specific questions i want to ask anyone specific right now :)

I actually have two questions about you Occidio,

1) What does Occidio Multus mean (I have refrained from looking it up because I wanted your description), and why did you choose that name?

2) Why do you insist on saying you have no feelings when we all know you are really a loveable teddy bear?

Jolt is painfully slow today...but are there really no takers?

I've been trying for 20 mins. to ask you a question, but as noted "painfully slow". I've been timed out 5 or 6 times.

Anyway, what was your upbringing like? Parents, sibs, education/grades, peers/social life, moral training...

Sinuhue, I have two questions, if you'd be so kind.

1 Where'd you get your nation's name?

2 You're Native American, right? What tribe?

I have a couple of questions for Occy as well, who I find quite intriguing.

If you are as dark as you say, what exactly are the reasons behind this? You don't have to answer of course, but I am interested.

Do you chat with people outside of the Forum? Would you like to chat with me? [/invitation]

:)

Drunk commies: are you in love with anyone right now or dating? Do you ever visit any of your family in Italy?

Occy: can I see some of your work photos? And what made you decide to go into your profession?

I'll think of more in a min

Hey, pretty cool thread! :)

*Thinks of question ...*

Yikes...you want my entire biography?:)
I think I can answer you and DC at the same time.
Sinuhue, I have two questions, if you'd be so kind.

2 You're Native American, right? What tribe?
Sinuhue (Pronounced (SIN-oo-way) is the name of an Egyptian in the 12th dynasty...the story about him is considered the oldest short story in history. It inspired a song by my favourite singer (from Cuba), Silvio Rodriguez. I like the name so much, I plan to name any future daughters Sinuhue.

Ok. My dad is Irish-Canadian, second generation. My mom is Cree. I'm Plains Cree, and I belong to Paul Band Cree Nation in Alberta. We lived off reservation so my four brothers and I could attend the 'white' school, which at the time was considered to be far superior to the rez school. There were quite a few other native kids in the school with us, so we didn't feel too left out, but I always had problems with being fully accepted either by the white kids or the natives (we didn't really have any other races there). I was an honours student all the way through school, but I developed a bad attitude, got into lots of fights, started drinking heavily and doing lots of drugs in Grade 9, started being a real risk taker and doing petty crime. Somehow I kept my grades up, but school came pretty easily to me.

My dad is an alcoholic, but a tame one. He drinks all day (still), and never seems drunk. Works hard, but has a nasty temper he lets out by stomping around and grumbling to himself. Never hit us kids, (though my mom took the wooden spoon to us a lot), and never hurt my mom, but an alcoholic is an alcoholic. My sibs and I were raised atheist, with a lot of native spirituality mixed in (confusing, yes?). She spoke Cree to us whenever possible, so although I've lost some through disuse, I'm still pretty fluent. I used to fancy dance (a particular form of pow-wow dancing) at competitions. My mom raised us the Cree way...she let us make mistakes, and then helped us understand what went wrong so we could avoid it the next time. There were no real rules...just moral guidelines, and I've found that my brothers and I tend to be very concerned with the morality of our actions now because of it. We understand WHY we're supposed to do or not do certain things...not just that we HAVE to because so and so said.

I have a BEd, and teach Spanish. I'm 26. No wait, I keep forgetting it's a new year...I'm 27:)

Drunk commies: are you in love with anyone right now or dating? Do you ever visit any of your family in Italy?


Not in love, although I have been. Not seeing anyone seriously right now. I date occasionally, but looking for love isn't a major priority with me at the moment.

I only have a couple of cousins left in Italy. The rest of the family has scattered to France, Germany, Switzerland, Cyprus, and the USA. I haven't visited Italy in about 11 years. Mostly we keep in touch by the occasional letter or phone call. I'm closer to my mother's side of the family, all of whom have moved to the USA, most in NJ, some in Utah.

Oh yes. My kids are 4, 7, and 12, and I'm 44.

DC: what do you do for a living? Or are you studying right now?

Peechland: You have kids right? How old? Are you married/divorced/commonlaw/polyandrous...:) And what do you do for a living?

Oh yes. My kids are 4, 7, and 12, and I'm 44.
Which marriage are your kids from? Do you plan on having more?

I actually have two questions about you Occidio,

1) What does Occidio Multus mean (I have refrained from looking it up because I wanted your description), and why did you choose that name?

2) Why do you insist on saying you have no feelings when we all know you are really a loveable teddy bear?
occidio multus is cheap latin, translated to "in addition to slaughter" i chose it because i guess it sounded pretty cool, and kind of evil sounding. and now my friends see me on here, and call occidio in RL some times. thats weird.
teddy bear? are you caling me fat??????
nah. kidding. i dont have a lot of emotions, but i do love things, and some people,and lots of stuff about life. i get wicked excited about some things, and tend to, well, gush and crap. i can , and do, get emotional about certain things. like yesterday. i felt bad about what i said about Internet Tough Guy, because i really do like him. what i say on here, is always what is in my head, or would come out my mouth. however, one of my best friends in RL is on NS, and says that parts of my personality dont translate well into type. i think being as sarcastic as all get out does me in. in person, i am generally in a great mood, and laugh ALL THE TIME.

I know a question involving 'a veteran' and 'granddaughters'.

Which marriage are your kids from? Do you plan on having more?
Daughter 12, first marriage.
Son 4 second marriage.
Son 7 is my third wife's child from a previous marriage.

I've gotten a vasectomy, because we don't want more. An easier procedure than getting her tubes tied, or taking pills.

DC: what do you do for a living? Or are you studying right now?
I dropped out of college after three semesters. I was a chemistry major, and dropped out due to my involvement in certain illegal chemicals. I currently work for a small telecom company which I hope will grow in time. If it does I will be positioned for a nice rank in the corporate hierarchy and a good salary. Before that my dream was to open a martial arts school, and I had made decent progress towards that goal (I was close to an apprentice instructor in Lee Jun Fan gung fu), but my training was interrupted by a brief incarceration and a period of depression and desparation. I'm feeling much better now.

Whispering Legs: Why are you called Whispering Legs?

I seriously fell off my chair laughing! hahaha! thats awesome Haken!

*high fives* :p

Peechland: You have kids right? How old? Are you married/divorced/commonlaw/polyandrous...:) And what do you do for a living?


Victor-10 months, Reagan 6 years old. Married for the 2nd time around.....lost the first one to a bag of weed.

I'm a Safety Compliance Admin for a large General Contractor. I am currently onsite of a big project and manage all of the Safety aspects. So, I conduct safety meetings, do drug tests (I have a mini lab set up here on site), ensure that our company, as well as our subcontractors are meeting OSHA regulations in regards to all of their policies and procedures. I'm the one who makes sure that no one gets killed out here........in theory. And if they do, I better have the proper documentation showing where we took every precautionary action possible.

Occy: can I see some of your work photos? And what made you decide to go into your profession?

I'll think of more in a min
i generally , as a rule,would be arrested , if i took home any pictures from work. besides, i find it kind of disrespectful. we never have really been allowed to photograph, anyone, unless there is a really bad case (body) that needs a lot of reconstructuon. then we snap polaroids, and reference them.the mortuary mangager is to be notified, and present during the taking of photos, and then subsequentally destroys them when we are done. surveillance sysytems are common in the Los Angeles area, due mostly to the theft of body parts, and mortuary workers putting up and selling pictures on certain web sites ( tg me if you want some addresses of sites). i used to think it would be a good idea, then you start meeting decedents families, and hearing their stories, and suddenly, it makes you think twice.

i never made a decision. i knew at about 7 what i wanted to do,and still have no idea what made me want to do it. its a great job for women, though, and its never too late to get started.

I seriously fell off my chair laughing! hahaha! thats awesome Haken!

*high fives* :p
I'm now waiting for the shooting smileys...

You just know when he sees that, that they're on the way! haha!

Why?

Come on...let us in on the joke...are you talking about Eustruca?

Whispering Legs: Why are you called Whispering Legs?
When I was in the Army, I was an infantryman, and walked quite a bit with heavy packs. My legs used to say, with each step, "fuck you, fuck you".

Now, I still pack about 5 miles a day (for exercise) with 80 pounds of sand, and due to hearing loss, I can't hear my legs so well anymore. It sounds like a whisper to me. Either that, or the legs are used to it now.

No, I don't do it to be healthy. I find painful physical activity to be satisfying.

I have a couple of questions for Occy as well, who I find quite intriguing.

If you are as dark as you say, what exactly are the reasons behind this? You don't have to answer of course, but I am interested.

hey lasc.
i am not sure for any reasons behind who i am , i have just been this way my entire life. but see my prior response to sinahue to explain my personality, and how i come across at times.
i have 5 NSers that i chat with outside the forum, but lately, i have felt truly bad that i havent been able to chat with them as much because i am often at work, and always walk away from the PC . i also have manic weeks when i cant seem to hold a thought or conversation. (usually things are rough at work when that happens) but absolutley, if you can handle the fact that i am inconsistent. i mean well, but i am still a lagger :(
tg me.

Well that's pretty interesting, do you use it for more than just a nationstate name, or did you feel it was appropriate for the game?

Von Witzleben, Come on now, you really do like American people, right? I think all that anti-American stuff is just friendly teasing.

Well that's pretty interesting, do you use it for more than just a nationstate name, or did you feel it was appropriate for the game?
On most forums I use my own name, but that didn't seem appropriate here.

It's a joke between my wife and I - the fact that my legs still whisper the same thing.

Why?
it actually just came out of my 7 yearolkd head, one day at dinner at my aunts house. she asked me what a smart girl like me wanted to do when i grew up. i said " i want to be a mortician" yeah. nice dinner, there. any how, my parents , at my BEGGING, got me some books about funerals,a nd the more i read, and learned about funeral; customs, the more i knew i wanted to do the actual "washing of the dead"- ie.,embalming. i am now working trade cases, which means about 70% of the cases are reconstructions- gunshots, chemotherapy (thats a big one)car accidents, etc. these are difficult, and must be done well, often in short amounts of time. i work throught the night often, certain cultures have to have wakes within threedays of a death. i like the fact that i am helping with an important part of the grieving process. often people see their loved one, and then they go to work, get mangled in a car wreck, and the next time they see them, it is in the morgue. so, to restore them to a natural state is important. also, its challenging, and i am damn good at what i do.

DC, what was it like being Jesussaves?

Thats cool - you have to be able to handle a lot of random manic depressive conversation from me anyway - so we might get on quite well! haha! Check you TG's in a tic or two darlin. ;)

Oh, and Sinuhue, it won't hurt to say it, yep - we be talking about Eut! :D

Did you serve overseas at all, or involved in any war?

(Sorry for the questions .. you don't have to answer if you don't want!)

I think that's the most interesting story behind someone's nation name that I've heard
You mean my mathematical/psychological diatribe doesn't interest you anymore? :(

(j/k!)

Tink, question for you - when I bring Lasc and my other character back to PC, will you help me finish my story off once and for all? I want to do it before I hit 5K (its sort of part of my plan). Be prepared though, the reality in relation to me is about to kick up a notch.

often people see their loved one, and then they go to work, get mangled in a car wreck, and the next time they see them, it is in the morgue. so, to restore them to a natural state is important. also, its challenging, and i am damn good at what i do.
I used to think that you were into it for just icky reasons:). I like that you are involved in something that is so shunned in our society (dealing with death and the dead themselves), but so necessary. We need ceremony to help us cope with this inevitable event, and I think your work is very important.

Has it affected your outlook on life and dying at all?

I have a question for the NS community....
Does anyone have any questions for me?

of course, but hurry it up, i don't know how much longer PC is gonna be around

Well that's cool <_>

(Sorry for the questions .. you don't have to answer if you don't want!)

I've been to quite a few countries with the Army, and quite a few as a civilian, and I was in the first Gulf War.

Myrth: do you/have you eaten Weetabix cereal and if so, is it good? Also, do you have any pets?


Bottle: what do you do for fun?

Haken- If you got permission from Poppy, what kind of date would you take the young lady on? I guess I'm saying....describe it.


Lasc- have you ever been injured back in the Rodeo days?

TITG, what was it like being Vittos Ordination?
REALLY!!???? Is that why I haven't seen Vitt around? Is this true???

I have a question for the NS community....
Does anyone have any questions for me?

Why are you a commie?

Myrth: do you/have you eaten Weetabix cereal and if so, is it good?
LMAO! where on earth did that come from?

I have a question for the NS community....
Does anyone have any questions for me?
Yeah...how do you have such a high post count and I hardly ever come across you in debates? Are we just on at different times?

it actually just came out of my 7 yearolkd head, one day at dinner at my aunts house. she asked me what a smart girl like me wanted to do when i grew up. i said " i want to be a mortician" yeah. nice dinner, there. any how, my parents , at my BEGGING, got me some books about funerals,a nd the more i read, and learned about funeral; customs, the more i knew i wanted to do the actual "washing of the dead"- ie.,embalming. i am now working trade cases, which means about 70% of the cases are reconstructions- gunshots, chemotherapy (thats a big one)car accidents, etc. these are difficult, and must be done well, often in short amounts of time. i work throught the night often, certain cultures have to have wakes within threedays of a death. i like the fact that i am helping with an important part of the grieving process. often people see their loved one, and then they go to work, get mangled in a car wreck, and the next time they see them, it is in the morgue. so, to restore them to a natural state is important. also, its challenging, and i am damn good at what i do.

Lucky (I mean, knowing what you wanted to do from age 7). To you have to do any special training you have to do before applying for position or is all of it done on the job?


Where is Von from? (Canada?)

I think he is a German that moved to the Netherlands

Why are you a commie?
Assuming you're referring to my sig, just because! I took the test, this was what came up, I was as surprised as anyone. Apparently I'm just extremely liberal, not yet commie. :(

LMAO! where on earth did that come from?

you know how random I am..... ;)



TINK: Why would PC not be around any longer?

I used to think that you were into it for just icky reasons:). I like that you are involved in something that is so shunned in our society (dealing with death and the dead themselves), but so necessary. We need ceremony to help us cope with this inevitable event, and I think your work is very important.

Has it affected your outlook on life and dying at all? i think it has made me a lot more appreciative of the fraility of life, especially when i get a 16 year old kid who died in his sleep of a brain anuerysm, or a 32 y.o. mother who got in a car wreck on her way home from the mall, or a college kid who gets cancer.thats why i am always telling people to ",shut the fuck up, quit whining, live your life"etc, etc, because i see how easy it is to die.

and as for the icky reasons- i am stilll preoccupied, and have a borderline unhealthy fascination with, violence, death, war, blood, and the like. but i treat my job pretty seriously.

you know how random I am..... ;)



TINK: Why would PC not be around any longer?
there's just a few things being discussed at the moment, I'm saying nothing

Any questions for the mostly unknown wwa :p?

Yeah...how do you have such a high post count and I hardly ever come across you in debates? Are we just on at different times?
I'm an Israeli, so thats the first place to find me, in an Israel debate. I must confess to not knowing much about abortion or gays rights or anything of that sort, so I just avoid them. But some of my post count is from Israel debates.
Another part, and quite a big one, is RPing. I'm quite an active RPer in International Incidents, so I have many posts from there.
And of course third is that wonderful place, Paradise Club. More effective than the +1 threads, and much more fun.

I have a question for the NS community....
Does anyone have any questions for me?

How's the karting going? :D

Any questions for the mostly unknown wwa :p?

How did you come up with your NS name?

Any questions for the mostly unknown wwa :p?
Given the choice, would you move to Israel? If so, anywhere specific?

Lucky (I mean, knowing what you wanted to do from age 7). To you have to do any special training you have to do before applying for position or is all of it done on the job?
depends on your state or country. most states have a one or two year college program, with some apprenticeship time. tg me, if you want. give me a bit,and i will give you some links. i have been asked to prepare a thread about my job before. maybe this is time to do it.

How's the karting going? :D
I took 8th in the last national competition, so its getting there. (slowly but surely:p)

REALLY!!???? Is that why I haven't seen Vitt around? Is this true???
hahahahhahhahha. YES!!!! but to me he is just brad :)

TITG, what was it like being Vittos Ordination?

It was amazing. I mean, I was the 28th most respected poster. I rose to the top, I won the respect and adoration of all of my peers, and then I through it all away.


/bullshit

How did you come up with your NS name?

Heh, I actually didn't a friend who introduced me to the game gave this nation on 5million population .. it was one of his puppets :D

Lasc- have you ever been injured back in the Rodeo days?
No, not really - I wasn't in rodeo for very long. I didn't really care for the 'sport' or many of the people in it. I did attempt riding a steer, but only once - and got a little hurt. But I've been hurt much worse snowboarding and wakeboarding than in any other sport. Snowboarding this last year alone I dislocated my left ankle, blew my right knee twice and my left knee once, gave myself a minor concussion and one hell of a cut up mouth and nose.

of course, but hurry it up, i don't know how much longer PC is gonna be around
Really?!?! Thats not good news. Ive put a lot into that RP, even if no one knows it but you, Gael, WO and myself (at least I don't think anyone else is left). Its so spotty - but I find it soo hard to come back now that the club has gone from 50/50 reality/mystic to almost 100% mysticism. Ok, Ill start on some posts tonight.

there's just a few things being discussed at the moment, I'm saying nothing

bah! youre no fun....

you know how random I am..... ;)



TINK: Why would PC not be around any longer?
you know where they can all go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

A question for Cogitation:

I picture you as a bit older than I, with blonde hair, neat, religious but not zealously so, but I can not for the life of me imagine what you do for a living!

I've thought about it for a moment, but I'm still drawing a blank.

Given the choice, would you move to Israel? If so, anywhere specific?

And no, I doubt I would move to Israel.

I do like it there, and I have many dear friends and family that live across Israel, but I doubt I could live there. If I did have to move, I would go to Tel-Aviv, a most lovely city.

I took 8th in the last national competition, so its getting there. (slowly but surely:p)

Good to hear it!

Good luck for future races :)

edit: w00t 1100 posts

hahahahhahhahha. YES!!!! but to me he is just brad :)
What's up with the name change? I used to picture him as a grizzled and bearded old Dutch man in plaid, canvas pants and suspenders, but with the new name, I picture him as overly-muscled, in a wife-beater and spandex work-out shorts:(. Vitt I loved...TITG kind of turns me off.

It was amazing. I mean, I was the 28th most respected poster. I rose to the top, I won the respect and adoration of all of my peers, and then I through it all away.

Yay for dyslexia! When you read two words of a line, then jump to the line beneath, coming up with things like.... "blew my nose" :p
Sounds painful Lasc!

Well that answered my 2nd question of Have you ever been injured snowboarding...


Tribes of Longton- what career field are you going into?


Chocolate Goddess: have you ever seen a play and if so, what was it?Do you prefer quiet nights at home, with dinner and a movie, or a night out on the town?

What's up with the name change? I used to picture him as a grizzled and bearded old Dutch man in plaid, canvas pants and suspenders, but with the new name, I picture him as overly-muscled, in a wife-beater and spandex work-out shorts:(. Vitt I loved...TITG kind of turns me off.
i think thats what he is going for. actually, i am going to try and get him to let me name his next incarnation. it will be, in no doubt, better than da tuff guy. of da web.

sinahue. your imagination is by far the funniest thing on this forum at times. would i be friends with a dutch painter????or, a guy in spandex?????????????

I needed about a week to study for a pair of very important tests, and due to my addiction I asked for a 10 day forum ban of Vittos Ordination. Katganistan suggested I scramble my password, which I did. When I came back I just made this nation and never got my password back.

Does anyone know how I would go about getting the password for VO back, moderator thread?

I think you would not judge a person by their outside appearance alone, so yes, I could see it:).

So, was Vitt a fake? I'm all confused now. VITT COME BACK! WHY DID YOU LEAVE!!! WHO WILL I FLIRT WITH NOW!!???

Does anyone know how I would go about getting the password for VO back, moderator thread?
I guess that answers my question. So you banned yourself. I don't think I could get past my addiction enough to take that step.

Well, I missed you!

Awesome! Way to go Sanc!

How long have you been Karting?
Karting, little over a year.
Competing, four days. (yup, that was my first competition, straight into the national league! If you go into MSN I can show you my teams shirt)

DC, what was it like being Jesussaves?
It was fun. It made me laugh. It was also somewhat challenging to come up with reasoning circular and illogical enough to back up some of my arguments. If it weren't against NS rules I'd encourage others to try.

you know where they can all go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D


Damn right I do......*sharpens saber*


Anyone in Canada: what/where are some nice places to go/things to see that arent too awfully far from Oregon? Like a few hours into Canada on that side.....

Peechy, didn't I already answer that question for you a while back?

If you want, I can run through the tourist options of Vancouver and Victoria/Vancouver Island again.

I tried to fix that for you but you scrambled b4 getting my tg .......sigh. I coulda been Vittos life line.

I know, I wish I had gotten it. But thanks for the thought, though.

I'm sure you did :) ...I should have gotten you to tg me all of that. I'm close to moving time and getting ready to travel, so I'm taking notes now. ROADTRIP!!!!! I might get someone to keep a thread alive so I can send you guys pics of the cross country drive. Like a pic of the worlds largest potato when I cross Idaho.....stuff like that.

I think you would not judge a person by their outside appearance alone, so yes, I could see it:).

whatever. maybe not looks, but a guy in spandex shorts would be on the recieving end of some pretty cruel, yet humorous commentary.

BTW- sinahue- Vittos wouldnt know flirting if it took the physical form of a breast and shoved itself in his mouth.

KIDDING!!!!!!!!!! he is the best :D

It does crack me up that everytime something changes on NS, you come in a week later and are utterly confused. We need an "Update Sinuhue" thread.

they're not all always there, my eldest step brother hardly ever comes round, one of my stepsisters is just about to go work on a cruise ship singing and dancing (I'm gonna miss her :() and one of my oher stepsisters just moved in with her boyfriend, but the other 4 are usually home and we all get on really well, when i was younger and it was just me, my sister and my brother we used to fight constantly but when my dad died we all sort of pulled together and I love them to bits and it's gonna totally break my heart leaving them to go to uni, things can get a bit hectic, and it's not great when you have a headache but i wouldn't change it for the world, i love having a big family and when i'm old enough I wanna have loads of kids

Hey this is the Tough Guy, not Vittos.

It is odd how the mind works.

You recall I had a pique of temper and washed my hands of Vittos.

When you returned as Tough Guy, I knew it was the same person but it somehow made it easier to let bygones be bygones. (I was probably over being mad a Vittos anyway, but the new name just facilitated things.)

Damn right I do......*sharpens saber*

Getting accused of being a white, racist:). That and my long rants!

Yes. Was also in the military until 1991. Probably a more traditional conservative (not a neo-con). A believer in more personal freedom, smaller government, etc.

Pro-choice, against the war on drugs, pro-gun, anti-racism, pro-immigration, well, hope that provides a picture...

You are really a lawyer? :eek:

Doesn't matter, but I find that interesting. What kind of practice? From what I recall, something like workman's comp. or industrial accidents/personal injury defense.

Funny. You pegged me as one right away.

Perhaps I am confused, but I thought you didn't care much for lawyers, so I assumed you were not one. (I realize they are not mutually exclusive. In fact, being a lawyer makes it all the more clear how idiotic many lawyers are.) Now that I think about it, it seems rather obvious. Doh!

Contracts by day (on staff at a government contractor), and where I can, criminal law in the General District Court.

The day job is insanely boring, and consists largely of reviewing boilerplate that was written ages ago. But it pays well, and I get to do what I want with my spare time, which is copious.

I was raised by a pack of wild feminists. :D (I remember a joke along those lines from the TV show Coach.)

Seriously, my parents are feminists. My mother was always active in NOW and in rape crisis/domestic violence prevention.

One of my main role models as a kid was a lesbian lawyer I greatly admired.

So, I have been active in feminist causes since I was young and have continued to "fight the good fight" my entire life.

I've just never understood not seeing women as equals and treating them as such. And the more I've studied the question the more emphatic my view.

I've also witnessed a great deal of the consequences of inequality and discrimination.

Occy: whats the one thing that sends you into a fit of rage.....the thing that really flips your switch?
hhhmmm. good question. even when i am arguing with someone on the forum quite vicously, i am not mad. i am just laughing at them. especially the elitist types.
i try to keep a lid on anger, and exercise self control. here is a list of things that actually get me mad.
1.someone messes with my family, that really only happened once- my sisters husband
2. people that hurt kids, or kill them. sex offenders. when that guy in florida said he buried that girl alive, i actually broke a window in my house.
3.i argue , lately, with my best friend steve a lot. he flips the proverbial switch often. we are mentally moving in opposite directions, and are struggling to maintain a 24 year friendship. i get truly mad about it because i care.
4.when people are insensitive, or lack training at work. thats the biggest one.

there are more, but those are the big ones.

Occy, what flips your switch... the other way? ;)

I find you (Occidio Multus) to be one of the most fascinating people on this forum, and its been interesting reading your responses to the proposed questions.

Oh, and you really should make a post about your job, it would be an interesting read, and I'm sure its something that not a lot of people know about.

Tribes of Longton- what career field are you going into?

At the moment, I'm gonna do my A-levels then head out to university to do a 4 year Bachelors degree in biochemistry. Hopefully I'll have the ability to carry it through to a Masters or even PhD. Then, I'll probably go work in some really spartan lab for a secret government organisation which does not allow me to go outside for fear of giving away secrets. That, or I'll work in a normal lab with people who aren't being controlled :)

Peech - it's probably been asked, but lets assume I'm a lazy bum who hasn't looked through the thread. So; what do you do all day? I mean, working using guessed time zones, you post here at some odd times.

And the more I've studied the question the more emphatic my view.

After meeting my current wife, I had eye opening experiences with domestic violence, and have been involved ever since.

But I gave up on the traditional - get her to a shelter, get a protective order route.

It's too clear to me that the law is completely inadequate to protect victims of domestic violence. And it's too clear that too many men are just not going to listen to any reasonable response.

I'm currently a technical writer - I mostly write manuals for the software produced by a company called PureEdge Solutions.

I have also worked (in no particular order) as a home support worker, a groom (horses), a janitor, a security guard, a 7-11 clerk, a nanny, looked after a provincial park (Prophet River Provincial Park), and as a mascot for BC Parks (Jerry the Moose). Most of these jobs were while I was in high school or university.

Depends. On a good day, it's usually 'the Beast' (not my choice, it was ironic for that monster of a 899cc under the hood). On a bad day, it's often something like 'Oh you heaving hunk of rusing iron shite, why don't you just blow up and do something useful for once!'.

Her ex was the first experience. We shelter women (one at a time) in our home because the local women's shelter is time-limited. They also have problems in dealing with men who are more violent.

Right now we're dealing with a different situation. A single mother whose teenage daughter was raped at school. They are staying at our house pending the outcome of the criminal trial. The rapist has friends, and their apartment was attacked in the night making it unsafe to stay there.

I can't hide everyone, but everyone that I hide has a chance.

I have greatly admired your views and the work you have described in these areas.

I fully admit that I find domestic violence and rape situations compelling arguments for personal gun possession. I have known many women who took up guns in these situations and I cannot criticize their choice. To the contrary -- so long as they get instruction in how to handle their firearm safely -- I have supported these decisions.

I tried that once when it wouldn't start. Quite recently, actually. Magiacally, it did start. Of course, five miles down the road, the tyre persished and I had a blowout at 45mph. That is the only time I've ever drop kicked a car door.

as a general rule, i try to never do anything i don't find fun. so far, all of my jobs have also been hobbies of mine, and i hope never to break that pattern.

some things i particularly enjoy include:

reading, making messes, going to the movies, listening to and playing music, videogames (mostly PC and Playstation 2), feasting on the flesh of my enemies, singing loudly and off-key whilst in the bath, accumulating interesting science-related trivia, and telling off-colour jokes at cocktail parties.

Go down to the magistrate's office at your local district court.
Check out the women who are there trying to get protective orders - there will be some.
Some of them are there with a lawyer - most can't afford one. Even with a lawyer, the court will only grant a protective order in most jurisdictions if you can prove a pattern and practice of behavior by a person that represents a lethal threat and/or a threat of severe bodily harm - and if that person is not a relative, the burden of proof is arbitrarily higher.

You get, if you're lucky, a 72 hour temporary order that is in force until the real hearing - at which the victim's abuser MUST be present. You may now surmise that he's not too happy about being summoned to court, nor thrilled with the subject matter.

If the order is granted, most of these men know where the bright line is - and it isn't where you think it is.

If you have a protective order, this only means that the other person must stay away from you. Technically, if he violates the order, he should be arrested. But in most jurisdictions, the police will only arrest him if he is still there when they arrive.

Most of these guys know to beat and run. Beat the woman - she calls 911 - he leaves - the police arrive - there are no witnesses - and the best part -

Life is not like CSI. The police will not push it.

If you have money, and the time, you may try to photograph him violating the order, or videotaping. But if he sees you doing this, he usually escalates in an attempt to gain control of the camera.

If you have witnesses, he will attempt to intimidate.

It's not the end of things when a woman actually leaves her abuser and gets into a shelter and gets a protective order. It's the beginning of what may be years of terror.

If you ever get a chance to break your leg? Don't! You won't dig it! :(

How long will you still have to be in the cast?

And I will avoid breaking my leg at every opportunity.

Oh so sorry Poppa..... :( .......so very sorry.
Thank you, sweetie. He was a really great guy too. Very bright and popular. We even got him elected Student Body President my Senior year. I wasn't worth much for a couple weeks after he got killed ... too angry and irrational. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far away. I just remember him with fondness and think about all the crazy stuff we did. I only cry about him when I visit the Vietnam War Memorial in DC, since his is the first name I look up, but I would still cry when I go there even if his name wasn't on the Wall.

It sounds like Eutrusca went all these years (including combat) with nary a scratch, and then, when the warranty expired..... WHAM!

Bottle: What is your favorite way to prepare the flesh of your enemies?
for my human enemies, i find that a citrus-type glaze bake or light lemon grill will cut the heavy, rich flavor of the meat, and a dry white wine will also help avoid the greasy elements that some chefs have complained of.

demon enemies are, naturally, prepared a flambe, though i have experimented with a form of hellion tartar embellished with cillantro. i'm also going to try a kind of burried clay-bake similar to techniques from Hawaii, leaving the scales and hair on while cooking the whole carcass. that takes a bigger kitchen than mine, though.

i usually prepare kitten flesh in nugget form, for obvious reasons. larger puppies can be handled in essentially the same manner as a veal cutlet, while smaller breeds (your toy poodles or terriers) tend to be best when dusted with a seasoned breading and lightly fried in oil.

Very wise of you! :)

I'm not sure when the cast will come off. The last time I visited the hospital a couple of weeks ago, they said it would have to stay on for another six to eight weeks. I'm just hoping it heals well and I don't have to have a pin inserted ( especially since I already have about 2 lbs of metal in that same leg from my military parachuting accident ). Groan! Heh!

So your enemies consist of humans, demons, puppies, and kittens? Interesting. How does one go about becoming a demon-slayer?

currently. i also have several archenemies who are children at this time, but i have decided it is only sporting to allow them to mature a bit before taking the battle to them in full.

with style, my dear friend. with style. :)

Not even slightly! Like clockwork! :)
Heh! It's good to know I still have my military-like promptness. Just don't want to become too predictiable though. :)

That's quite noble of you. The temptation for me to be done with my enemies while they were still relatively defenseless would be one too good for me to pass up. You are a better person than I.

I've been thinking about getting into the industry; that's all. I read some books on beginner's demon-slaying, and I think I'm rather skilled in the art of detecting demons, but I fear my arsenal is severly lacking. What weaponry would you recommend?

Go down to the magistrate's office at your local district court.
Check out the women who are there trying to get protective orders - there will be some.

<snip>

It's not the end of things when a woman actually leaves her abuser and gets into a shelter and gets a protective order. It's the beginning of what may be years of terror.

That is truly and deeply saddening. At least these women are fortunate enough to have someone like you helping them - I can't think of a more honourable thing to have done. My respect for you has increased ten fold knowing more about what you do out of the goodness of your heart. I fully intend to watch for you posting about this (though I seldom involve myself in debates).

How exactly did you get involved? and how long have you been doing this actively?

Got involved with helping the woman who was to become my third wife. Then, because I was always in and out of the same places that she and other women go to get help (the courts, the shelters) I ended up meeting some of the people that work with it every day.

And after my wife finally felt safe, we decided to go back and help others, one at a time. We've been doing it for a couple of years now. It's not many women, and certainly not all. And each situation is different - and hard in its own way.

That's quite noble of you. The temptation for me to be done with my enemies while they were still relatively defenseless would be one too good for me to pass up. You are a better person than I.

wow, and all i had to do was not eat babies...good to know i can still pass muster in some circles :).

depends on your goal. if you simply wish to irradicate those demons who annoy you, the flamethrower never goes out of style. if your goal is a torturous decline into madness for your more subtle form of demon enemy, then gradual poisoning with LSD or similar halucinogens is effective...a crazy demon is quite a sight, i must say. or, if you want to wipe out all life within a 10 block radius of your target's stronghold/nest, nothing beats playing The John Tesh Project: Sax By The Fire.

I think I might go with the flamethrower, then. I'm interested in destroying all life in a 10 block radius, but I do not think I am sadistic enough to unleash the John Tesh kind of horror upon the masses. Thank you for the advice. Perhaps you could give me some pointers on the intricacies of demon-slaying?

This conversation is becoming passing strange...

We are taking the kids to Washington DC in two weeks to see the sights. I want to show them the Vietnam War Memorial-also the Iwo Jima monument, aside from all the other things. I havent been there since before my kids were born, but still remember how I feel at the memorial. Even though I didnt lose someone personally close to me there, I still feel like I lost something just reading the names.

Sumamba Buwhan- what is going on witht this nation name. it is the only nation name i cannot pronounce, and it does this weird visual thing when i look at it- and looks very very long- like sumbamumba boohan or something. origin? pronunciation? etc?

For some reason, I automatically pronounce it as 'sumbawumba' in my head...even though on closer look, it would sound nothing like that!

Too true. I've had the same emotion at Arlington Cemetary in Va and Pearl Harbor was tough too. Many of the men who died were left interred in the Arizona and when you're there and aware of that, its a very humbling experience. I think people head there treating it like a tourist attraction. Its a tomb.

okay heres the story - ready?

I was looking for a name for my new nation - I thought Moon Worship might be good but a bit boring and not mysterious enough so I translated it to tagalog on an online translator (since my fiance is filipino) and there you have it. At least I think thats what it means. It's been a while.

i should have posted that on the race thread but whatever.

well I shaved my head (now they can call me a skinhead), do most of the cooking and split the cleaning, although I do like to dominate, but probably not in the way that you originally meant.

And a shrine.

I am always completely overwhelmed when I visit Arlington. Row upon row upon row of white crosses and white stars of David. That's part of the reason I am so proud to have been in the company of so many great men and women. If I had it all to do over again, I would. I consider it a great, great honor.

and I would love to beat the both of you in public. *just kidding* *not really*

You would probably both press charges adn run off together though. that would suck.

Her ex was the first experience. We shelter women (one at a time) in our home because the local women's shelter is time-limited. They also have problems in dealing with men who are more violent.

Right now we're dealing with a different situation. A single mother whose teenage daughter was raped at school. They are staying at our house pending the outcome of the criminal trial. The rapist has friends, and their apartment was attacked in the night making it unsafe to stay there.

I can't hide everyone, but everyone that I hide has a chance.

I dont agree with your stance on guns but after reading your last few answers my opinion of you has certainly changed to a much more positive one

WL you sir are a gentleman! :)


oh and my car is known as sporteee morteee

To All NS'ers: Do you have a nickname for your car?
Veronica. She's a '67 VW Bus. I even did my first documentary on her. (It was supposed to be about me, but she is more interesting.)

I had a car I called Puff the Magic Wagon

my current car is just Piece Of Crap

what an awesome name for a place to live

to be honest, it was one of the main reasons i started apartment hunting in this area...i just couldn't resist.

Is it foggy?

Is it foggy?
my understanding is that it got its name from a combination of the natural fog in the area, and from the polution from mills that used to be along the river near by...Foggy Bottom is at a lower elevation, so the "fog" would collect in this 'hood.

fortunately, the mills and such are long since gone, and i've yet to see any significant fog. the cherry blossoms are blooming right now, actually, and it's pretty durn pretty.

i moved in August of last year. i live in Foggy Bottom, and i love it so far :).That's cool. Pretty nice part of town from what I can tell.

I'm out in the 'burbs in Maryland.

Already at risk. They know where we are.

They also know we're armed. Oddly, in Virginia, if you have a No Trespassing notice served on someone, have a protective order served on them, and they step onto your property, it's hunting season. You've already proven in court that they are a lethal threat, and you are under no obligation to retreat.

The men seem amazingly aware of this bright line. Something they don't fear from the police.

very well, here's a question for you (and anybody else who is feeling unloved):

what fad or trend from the last 5 years has annoyed you the most?

Since you are a fellow Southerner Dem, what do you think about the South? Have you lived here all your life? Do you ever witness racism and basic redneck behavior? Stuff like that

Well, I have lived here since I was 4, so that's practically all my life. I think I may tend to have a rather skewed view of the south, as I have never lived in the *rural* south. I have lived in Savannah, Macon, and Atlanta Georgia - all fairly major cities and Richmond Hill (a military suburb of Savannah).

Heading out into the more rural areas, things seem very different. Depending on my mood and exactly what is is, I may find it very quaint. I like driving into an old southern town that still has the same facades they've probably had since Reconstruction, there's a lot of history there. The suburb I live in now is like that, if you head into downtown.

However, I do notice much more racism and basic redneck behavior in the more rural areas - and in the older generations. In fact, the town I did most of my growing up in was fairly rural before it became the home for most of the men and women out at Fort Stewart. When I first moved there, it wasn't unusual to hear of "racial fights" at the high school, although they were generally planned well in advance (and the cops would, of course, show up and nothing would happen). It was almost like it was simply a holdover from older times that people didn't want to let go of. The more "redneck" crowd was one of the few circles I didn't really travel in much in high school, although I ended up around the band nerds, general nerds, goth types, black minority, etc. fairly often.

Certain members of my family tend to be racist - especially a certain uncle who I love to death otherwise, but can't be around when talk turns that direction. He was raised in the old south and never let go. Some of my family have not-so-fond memories of being bussed to a predominantly black school and catching a lot of hell for it (being a minority at *any* school is apparently hell) and while they try not to, a few of them have grudges that only come out every now and then.

When I went off to college, however, I got quite a shock - there was a girl there who was sweet as pie, but told us that, before coming to school, she didn't really know that gay people existed and had never met a black person. The idea really blew me away and let me know what some parts of the rural south are like. Luckily, she rose above all that while she was at school.

So, that was the really long answer to a fairly simple question. I do think that certain pockets of the south are places that are very pretty and quaint, but not places I would want to raise well-rounded children. However, I also think that those places are shrinking in size, and being replaced and remolded by our generation.

How do you like the south?

Jordy- do you wear a kilt regularly? What are you studying? What is your favorite food and favorite movie?


1: Only once, for my prom. Will be wearing it again for my Dads wedding. He won't let me come in a dress like I want to *cursed denial of who I am, eh?* Second best thing though, hehe. Don't have the money for my own one yet, and I don't see much use for it for *too* much longer, hopefully. They're still the best though.

2: I WAS studying business, I have since been dumped from the course because I stopped attending. If they'll take me back, I'd love to study ancient history.

3: Favourite food is.... chicken Korma. Made well, nothing can top it at all.

4: Favourite movie is easily Dr Strangelove at the moment.


very well, here's a question for you (and anybody else who is feeling unloved):

what fad or trend from the last 5 years has annoyed you the most?

I had the slight unfortunateness to fall for a few of them in the last 5 years. I was weak and susceptable to advertising, but now I resist. From the last five years...

Reality TV. That's it. I hate all reality TV shows without exception to the point of foaming at the mouth irrationally. Even if one had the gall to be good, I'd hate it out of principle, and that's usually fairly unlike me. But I feel it's a worthy exception.

How do you like the south?


Well.......

I've lived in an extreme rural part of Georgia my entire life. My grandmother's parents actually had slaves I'm told. They were good to them in the fact that they didnt beat them or do things like youve seen in the movie 'Roots"...but needless to say, that fact just baffles me. Slavery baffles me period.

I see racism everyday and end up defending minorities several times a week. Its rediculous and I'm sick of it. I dont want to raise my children in an environment where its so common. My daughter had to console one of her classmates the other day because another student called a little girl the "N" word. I despise that word. Keep in mind my daughter is in kindergarten. The offending child said "but my mommy and daddy say it." Thats so sad.

I guess if you looKed at my nation home page,my flag, motto..and knew how I was in real life, youd recognize that I am making fun of the stereotypical ''hick". I make fun of it because its stupid and I cant stand it.

The South, in general, is a beautiful charming place. So many old houses with detailed architectural design, the slow pace of life, sitting on the front porch drinking lemonade.....that part, I love. Its just the hatred of the rebel flag bearing rednecks that turn my stomach. I'm moving to Oregon soon and I'm looking forward to new scenery. I will miss Georgia I'm sure-its my home. But thats how I feel about it basically.

I'm available for questioning!

I think you would not judge a person by their outside appearance alone, so yes, I could see it:).

So, was Vitt a fake? I'm all confused now. VITT COME BACK! WHY DID YOU LEAVE!!! WHO WILL I FLIRT WITH NOW!!???
Me? *mumbles*PLEASE DEAR GOD LET IT BE ME!*mumbles*

I'm available for questioning!


You are such a cool guy.....cant believe I havent questioned you by now.

You mentioned your girlfriend the other day and I could tell she's very special. What are the things you love most about her and about your relationship?

What are your hobbies? What are your interests? Which animal scares you most? *giggles @ that last one*

I want to ask Potaria: How did you become so leftist*?

Thank you for your kind words, I think you are freakin awesome yourself :D

Now that's an easy question. I loooove the way she aggressively express her opinions no matter who she is talking to and persues her objectives as if she's a soldier on a mission. I also love her eyes. When she looks at me it's as if she projects the entirety of her emotions into every second and peirces through every fiber of my being!

My Hobbies & Interests: I play various instruments, am an avid Trekkie, and I love advanced sciences(quantum mechanics, nanotechnology, aeronautics, aerospace engineering, etc).

Scariest Animal: Weeeelll, after my encounter with that Opossum I think you will be suprised to know that the animal I am most afraid of is the Great White Shark. The eyes they have freak me out!

The same questions right back at ya, except I have one to add. Do you know who Pootie Tang is? lol

Peech. What part of Georgia are you from? I know I shoulda read it somewhere. But I didn't. Hehe. It's strange to actually meet other folk from the south on here. I knew Dempublicents was. But that was about it.

For a Swede, like me, it is so extremely strange that a person with these opinions call himself 'conservative'. It's like US has inverted the European use of these words. In Sweden this would be a somewhat extreme liberal (except the pro-gun thing, that noone sane around here would even consider as a political view).

BTW I have the almost the exact same view (except the guns then, but that's the Swede in me) and call myself a liberal. (Of course, around here the liberals and the conservatives work together against the greater enemy of socialism, (which you in US seem to call liberalism, because of strange historical reasons, I guess) but that's hopefully just temporary

I'm from a small town named Rome. Yeah its named after the real Rome. We have 'Festa Roma" every year and people wear togas and everything. :rolleyes: Its about an hour from Atlanta.

Camel- are you from GA too? What part? Where did you get your nation name? What is something that really bothers you...that makes you wanna pound on someone's head?

You mean Lance Crouther?The musician/actor/folk hero of the ghetto? ;)

Lets see....

Well Mr Peechland is truly fabulous. He's laid back and cool as a cucumber always. He's my counterpart. He gets me, my sense of humor, finishes my sentences, and puts up with my sassy control freakish ways. He's an excellent father....he's charming, selfless and very intelligent. I'm a lucky gal.
(hes hot too)

Hobbies and interests? I spend time with my son Victor-10 months old and my daughter Reagan-6 years old. We play outside or draw together...and we dance a lot. Its funny.....we played "The Humpty Dance" tonight and danced til we couldnt breathe-lol. Great exercise. I love music, any and all kinds. I am thinking of buying a guitar and teaching myself how to play. I'd love to be able to play an instrument. I love movies, horror, thrillers mostly,but I wont turn down a good chick flick or Disney movie.

:eek: you know who Pootie Tang is?!?! Woooo! I don't why but I LOVE Pootie Tang. I've been there since The Chris Rock Show first featured him.

You have a nice family unit going on there, especially with the children! I hope to be like that once I settle down.

I love movies as well, mostly sci-fi/action and horror/thriller. Predator is my favorite movie of all time because it has all those elements I like. On the drama side of things I LOVE LOVE LOVVE The Godfather series.

As Pootie would say: You're a pone toney. You've got your dillies on the peppa tain! Seppatown!

Not entirely. Western North Carolina native here ... and I have it on good authority that at least one other mod and a major regional delegate are neighbors.

Another southerner (minus accent). Nashville, Tennessee.

Alabama. Less racist than you'd think. Cause half the state is black.

I got my nation name cause of the Discovery Channel. On the same day I was bored and watched the Discovery Channel (by far my favorite one ever) and ended up watching a thing on killer chimps and camels in Australia. So I googled Killer Chimps. Which turned out to be a nation name on NS. This made me go hmm...................I should make a nation. So I did. And I jokingly called it Camel Eaters........cause camel tastes good.

Hmm. I rarely get angry. What always gets me angry though is..............boredom. When I am extremely bored I want to kill something. Not the healthiest response but I haven't hurt anyone yet. That's why there are violent video games. To help me not hurt people. (I swear to God that's what the doctor told me)

LOL....I love Chris Rock.....Wayne Brady and of course....Dave Chappell. I almost fell out of the chair when Wayne was on the Chappell show......"Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?"

Frisbee!!!! North Carolina?? Say it aint so ......I dunno why I thought you were in New Hampshire or NYC.

Ah yes. The time of evil.

Sarzonia.....where are you from, what do you do for a living and how old are you?Ah, thanks for asking. :)

I'm from Maryland originally, born in Silver Spring. I work as a researcher for a company that publishes government directories, though my life's passion is writing. I'll turn 32 in July.

Pass the Geritol!

Wow. I have learned a lot! I didn't know DC was Jesussaves and The Internet Guy was Vitto. I was starting to miss Vitto. :(

Okay. My turn. Cog, what made you decide to become a moderator?

Wow. People's Republic of Takoma Park?
Not quite. The Oligarchian Police State of Prince George's County, where the third question on the County Police officer's job application is, "are you an asshole?" ;)

I've been to the Video Americain in Takoma Park a few times though...

Ah, thanks for asking. :)

Hey Internet Tough Guy, how did you get so damn smart?

Gah! I can't take these mind games anymore. :mad:

Gah! I can't take these mind games anymore. :mad:

Neither can I... but don't get mad, get even. plot plot and plot. If you have a white cat amongst your group, it's an aid to plotting.


There's my question. do you have a white shorthair cat?

aha, cunning.
So cunning, I could slap a tail on it and call it a weasel. I love you blackadder.

A question for Cogitation:

I picture you as a bit older than I, with blonde hair, neat, religious but not zealously so, but I can not for the life of me imagine what you do for a living!

I've thought about it for a moment, but I'm still drawing a blank.
I'm in my mid-late twenties (I don't know if that's younger or older than you). I do (usually) keep my hair neat. I will neither confirm nor deny that I am redheaded. I mean... blue. I mean... blonde.

My educational background is engineering. For the moment, I'll just leave it at that. ;)
