I thought it was time that I introduced myself to these wonderful forums. I admit, sometimes some of the posts make me want to kill myself because of the feeling I get that humanity is dead. Well, I guess I should tell you something about me.

I'm a moderate conservative, I have some liberal beliefs.

I live in Canada, I might run for Parliament someday still not sure.

I support the war on terrorism, the war in Iraq, and the government of the United States of America. I believe in humanitarian intervention for countries like North Korea, Sudan, and any other country where the people are suffering by the hand of their government.

I support gay marriage, equal rights, etc.

I don't have a favourte movie, I name a different movie each time someone asks me.

I have posted before, as you can tell by my post count. I have only pissed off one person I believe, and he had it coming to him.

Well......I suppose that will do.

*rubs hands together* Ahh, another victim.... :twisted: ;)


Hi Novoga, I'm Czardas, Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse (please note new title!! formerly Supreme Ruler of the Universe), the person who really controls these forums despite all the imposters called mods (yeah, they don't really exist; they're all just my puppets). I'm a libertarian with somewhat restrictive economic policies. I'm also the local n00b crusher, Sarcazm Master, and prize awarder. I like saying hi to all the newbies on this forum.

Pure Metal here wrote an excellent guide for newbies that I criticize, edit mercilessly, and scream at all the time, and swear by. Ask him where it is.

Also check out "The One-Stop Rules Shop" in Moderation by Frisbeeteria, I presume you know who that is. You can't miss him, first mod on the left, in burgundy.

Finally, enjoy your stay here, and don't make as many mistakes as I did. I mean, look at my post count. If I'd been more sensible and economical, I'd have 10,000 posts by now! ;)

'Bye.

Welcome to the forums. I hope you have a pleasant time here. You should join in on the political debates, they start out wonderfully.

Hi, welcome to the General forum. There's a thread titled "who are you" that you might like to check out. It has short biographies of some of us in it.

Now all you need to do is list your major credit card numbers and we'll be all set.

Please, I think there are enough of your type in all parliaments around the world as it is.

Wah!
Seriously, perhaps you could wait until he posts in a political thread to attack his beliefs? Just maybe?

Dont listen to people like the above quoted, Sosato, most NSers are fairly considerate people unless theyre debating, in which case theyre all bastards. Fact of NationStates :P

welcome to the forums, I look forward to meeting you in the arena of political debate :)

It's a pleasent surprise to see someone with beliefs from across the spectrum (supports war in Iraq, but also Gay Marrage), it seems way to many people are too pradictible in their beliefs, normally fit entirly in one camp.

Happy posting!

Welcome to the forums. In this section, you'll see the endless wanks of liberals, moving on we have the RP (role playing) forums here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1230).

Sino is a considered to be a very conservative member of these forums. You may find him a useful ally when waging verbal combat against the liberal scum!

(Note: That's not my real picture, but it shows how dutiful I am to my beliefs.)

Hi!
If you ever get out of the woods, I'll throw you timbits till you're fat.
:gundge:

Welcome to the forum. :D :rolleyes:

The problem is that, while you have an impressive soldier fellow there, the 'liberals' have this:

The Ukes may have their 'freedoms' now, but they're still f*ckin' poor!

Nice looking uniforms though.

Nice looking uniforms though.

Yeah, the Chinese combine German, U.S. and their own styles for their uniforms. Russian uniform (and the types worn by states of the former USSR) styles trace back to the Czar. The only changes were the insignias. I suppose it's pretty traditional and archaic.

Back when they were introduced, the Russian uniforms were actually fairly creative, if only because Russians had green uniforms and these versions were slightly darker and provided some camoflage.
Meh :P
'Course up until the Napoleonic Period they wore blue (like most of Europe :P), for the most part.
Sorry, its Earth: Imperialism. In my sig. Which you should visit and sign up for and play.
[/shamelessplug]

They look far too ostentatious. I don't like Russian uniforms at all.

As opposed to the British uniforms? Bright red with giagantic fur hats, shakos, I think theyre called.

I've had enough of online games. NS is sucking up my free time as it is.

Canadian troops (under a Canadian and a NATO flag)... wearing the usual beret.

Hehe...look, theyre doing the wave while standing perfectly still :P

Seriously though, they do look rather funny.
No offence to any Canadians here :P

Welcome to the forums. Sounds like u and i might get along, thought i won't post frequently, as i try to avoid conflicts if i can. There's too much of that in the world as is, so i try to create as little as possible ;)

Doing the wave?

Berets and peaked caps are almost standard pieces of service uniform around the world. The beret's popularity is expanding due it's nature of being less formal than the peaked hat, but more refined than the garisson cap.

Doing the wave?
Look at their heights, theyre forming a wave :P

'Course up until the Napoleonic Period they wore blue (like most of Europe :P), for the most part.

Weren't the British in Red during the Napoleonic Wars? I think the Russian uniform was grey during the Crimean War. I heard that the French marched up to the front in WWI in colonial colors.

Look at their heights, theyre forming a wave :P

That's a very sensible way to align them due to their height differences. Or they could try that method of having their heights in ascending order with the shortest man as marker (which only looks good when marching).

Note the 'most'.
Russia was blue until sometime just before or during the Napoleonic Wars.
France hs been blue for some time, I think they usualy used Navy Blue as opposed to the Hessian lighter colour.
And of course the Brits wore red...theyve been wearing red since 1300 :P

Reagan was so impressed with the British uniforms that he designed his own for the Secret Service to wear. The SS refused. Flat out refused an order from the president. They were pretty bad uniforms. Some high school in Ohio or something found out about it, asked for all the uniforms that were just being kept in storage, and now it's the uniform of the school marching band

Similarity Between Hats: The Chinese Military and the Werhmacht

That red X is really impressive, I wish I had a hat like that :P

my favorite hat of all time will always be the WWI German pointy helmet ^_^

I think they adopted the spikeless design during WWI, which was later improved to become the M35/42. There's a fairly detailed article about the Stalhelm on Axis History (www.axishistory.com), but pity that site is off for now.

Oh, come on!
Do you want a really impressive hat, like this:
http://www.briansiano.com/flashman/graphics/Uniform%20Shako.jpg
or a dinky pointed helmet?
http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/images/300064t.JPG

BTW, they really didnt wear pointed helmets that much :P
Shiney bits tend to attract unwanted attention, like snipers and machine gunners.

I'd stick to the peaked hat and camo helmet.

It's the shako's fault if he hurts his neck from wearing it.

yea, they were mostly cerimonial, but still cool.

The big-ass plumed one is pretty cool too, though...

I tend to dislike uniforms if they're too archaic (colonial) or pompous. But Chiang Kai-shek looks cool!

http://www.law.harvard.edu/library/collections/special/exhibitions/portrait_exhibit/Kai-shek_Chiang.jpg

It doesn't get much more archaic or pompus then that, but damn does it looke good. Chang just doesn't have the shoulders to make it work, though. Put someone a bit bigger in it, I say. But with all the same medals and stuff

Chiang was a good six-footer but Mao was slightly taller. Chiang got tired off his 'European emporer wear' after losing the Mainland, and he dressed more like a U.S. general than a noble.

Mao popularized the 'Mao jackets' but it was nothing more than a slight modification of the Sun Yat-sen suit.

My grandfather always said that no branch has a better uniform then the uniform of the Navy enlisted men. Said his air force uniform made him feel like a bus driver.

Anyway, I'm off to bed now, welcome to our new guy, it has been fun discussing uniforms.



I still like the spike

Finally, enjoy your stay here, and don't make as many mistakes as I did. I mean, look at my post count.

Your post count, look at mine. I've been reading things in this forum for a year and a half and this is my 31st post.

Please, I think there are enough of your type in all parliaments around the world as it is.

Well, at least I don't have to worry about your vote if I run for Parliament.

When I saw that my Intro had reached 3 pages I figured that I was either liked, or extremely hated. I don't know if I should be happy or not that the discussion turned into a discussion about......hats.


"I apologize... for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for not revealing my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!"
