'Ello there

There seem to be quite a few of these introduction thingies, and even though I'm not exactly "new," I figured, why not?

I live in Rockville MD, about 20 min out of DC. I like Punk, some metal, classic rock, opera, classical, whatever sounds good. Right now my favorite album is The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack, my favorite band either the Dead Kennedys or Bad Religion.

I am a Greek Orthodox Christain, but if you've seen any of my posts on any of the religious threads, you know that I am not exactly a steriotypical Christain, although I am fericly proud of my religious devotion in an world increasingly hostile to religious types.

Politically I don't like to lable my self. I am socially libertarian, I believe that you should have the right to do whatever you want, so long as it does not hurt someone else. This extends to economic freedom, and I believe that small business should not be regulated all that much, aside from protecting workers and the like, but bigger corperations, as they have more influence in society and effect more people. should have more regulation.

I believe in each person's right to live their life as they see fit, and to find the truth for themselves.

I believe that science, religion, math, phylosophy is all the search for the truth, just different methods for getting there, and all are important in balance.

I believe concepts like "honor" "pride" "honesty" and "dignity" are more than just buzzwords.

I am an Eagle Scout, a Black Belt, and and anti-American

I like pleasure spiked with pain, and music is my air-o-plane

I am a crappy drummer.

I love Jennifer Burke (daughter of the head of the Secret Service training school, ironicly enough)

I attempt to avoid large corperations as much a possible, prefering, instead, to support local small business.

I have ran from police at protests, and have almost been arrested for my convictions.

I will soon be comming to Europe for an indetermined amount of time with a friend of mine, and we will travel and live however we can for a few months. Sleeping in hostels, bus depots, wherevere, living cheeply, seeing the sites. When I come back, I will attend either Goucher or St. John's college. What I wanna do with my life is either be a high school Social Studies teacher, work with a non-profit group as a career, or move to South America and become a revolutionary ^_^

I plan to do a tour in the Peace Corps with my girlfriend when we graduate college.


So, good to meet you all, and any impressions of me from folks who have seen my other posts?

I don't intend to get out for good, just get some worldlynes under my belt, then come back, try to make things better for peole, instead of just running to a place I'd fit in better.

Thanks for the welcome ^_^

And to Sino, some of my best friends are conservatives! As long as you are a sencible human being, as you seem very much to be, we'll get along grand.

Does someone who admire the Nazi image considered sensible in your opinion? I can guarantee that I do not support their racist ideology.

Absolutely! It formed the basis of Chinese military discipline, starting with Chiang Kai-shek's ROCA.

I know, I like that junxstipisition of stuffs :)
I think I'm the only Eagle Scout who got letters of comendation from the Nihilist Party, Green Party, Libertarian Party, and Party X (which I still can't figure out what it is) instead of letters from the President and VP.

To Sino, I gots no problems there, disapline is definatly something to be admired and striven for. And although I don't support strict devotion to the state, loyalty and devotion to an ideal I definatly admire, even if I don't admire the ideal being devoted to.

All I got when I became an Eagle Scout was something from the Sons of the American Revolution or something like that. :(

*rubs hands together* Ahahaha, another victim....

Greetings Katzistanza (whew, what a name...you mind if I call you "Bob"? Thanks:p), welcome to the forums. My name is Czardas, Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse, and I am the one who really controls the forums, despite the so-called "moderators". If you have any questions, send me a telegram. This is not the place for RPing, regional adverts, or technical questions, because all you'll get in any of those is a bunch of jokers (like me). Also, please inform everyone to stop these introduction threads, because they're growing to be a "trend" and Fris locks all the threads that are part of a "trend", calling them "copycats" and other weird things that clearly show he's a mod. ((Don't tell him I said that. He gets easily offended and deats people who say things like that.))

But anyway, welcome to the nuthouse! :)
