I sure hope that this post won't restart the debates...

as for mine, i jumped into some debate about something, all guns blazing and writing essay-long posts (i did that back then), while profusely apologising that i was a noob and asking to still be taken seriously. i remember this much cos i remember thinking it was really nice when NSers said things like "just cos you're a noob doesn't mean your opinions don't count" and such. i felt so welcomed, i stayed :D

Can't remember exactly.

First as Waterana in the UN forum somewhere. Don't remember the thread.

"My answer is bring 'em on." —President George W. Bush, challenging militants attacking U.S. forces in Iraq

Saying Bush supports the troops is like saying a CEO supports his factory workers.

Bush sees the army as a machine, and all of the soldiers are the gears. Im just glad my father was able to leave the USAF in time.

My first real post was in a "have you ever had a homosexual experience?" thread. I remember exactly what I said.

"No, but I wouldn't mind one. Not at all."

the reply I got was something along the lines of "Well, you came to the right place."

oh, wait, no, I participated in one of those story threads.

I said something about failing a spot and listen check and failing to notice the army of mutant Sarah Michelle gellars sneaking up on the characters.

My first post as "Czardas" reported an issue error in the sticky.

My first post as "The Czardaian envoy" was in a RP I had been conducting as Czardas when my account suddenly became inaccessible.

My first post ever, I can't even begin to remember. It was back in those dark times of anarchy and unrest before the appearance of the Moderators, those bright knights in armor upholding the law and justice. (If you can't tell that that was sarcastic, I'm really sorry for you.) I don't remember my exact join date or why I left. At that time I was living in a country in the Balkan Peninsula with a different computer, so I'm not all too sure the mods will be able to find out either. Even my e-mail address for Czardas is comparatively new; I used my parent's for that one, not having one of my own yet. (I was only 13 at that time.)

I think -- don't quote me on this -- that I found NationStates in December 2002, on the urging of a friend. I don't remember my nation ID from that time. I remember very little of what I posted, or what my post count was, or any people from around then (although I do seem to recall that Myrth was already well-known when I started posting more than just about twice a week). I remember nothing of NS being a major part in my life during the second trimester of the 2002-03 school year, when I was a high school freshman; this was because I had to work harder during the second half of the year to get all A's, resulting from my involvement with NS at that time (old-timers remember how long it took everything to load, and how frequently it would crash).

Be prepared for a message from the glorious leader of the free peoples of THE CONFEDERACY OF HARLESBURG
Do not be too alarmed for one of the children of the royal family was rescued prior to this atrocious act being commited our agents in this hostile land past the information on to the Home Service and an Elite Task force based around the Tuareg militia went about rescuing him.The little known about Maximillinus child of the tzar twin of the eldest born son,was whisked away to a small borderland farm at a young age,into obscurity as two twin boys would cause too much controversy in the royal court.It is the intention of The CONFEDERACY OF HARLESBURG to restore the royal lineage under the newly assumed Bonnie Prince Maximillinus.Assistance is requested to repel and rebuke the unholy usurpers.

My first. On a thread about War on drugs

I agree with you. I also would like to point out that drugs are just a cultural thing again. Alcohol, tobacco and coffee are drugs, but legalized. Marijuana and coke are banned 'cos they are not originally European drugs. Alcohol causes huge problems in many countries but we deal with it. I think we could deal with marijuana as well. And I have to say that I don't smoke (anything) myself.

Coffee comes from the city of Mocha on the Arabian Peninsula.

"Arab traders introduced qahwah seeds from the districts of Kaffa and Buno, Ethiopia and began the first true cultivation of the plants in the Arabian Peninsula sometime between 1000 to 1500 years ago. The main center of qahwah production was the port city of Mocha, Yemen. Qahve imported from Yemen was a popular strong brew with the Turks who served the drink to visiting Italian merchants."

Disclaimer: The views expressed represent my past political affiliations and are not entirely representative of my current thoughts. Now, my biggest problem with Gore is his support of censorship, not his suspected pussyness.

If Gore had won:

The Taliban would still be oppressing Afganistan.

Saddam Hussein would still be murdering and starving his own people while bribeing the UN.

The US would be spiraling towards ineffective European style Socialism.

Thousands of terrorists would be walking free, continuing their fanatical comentment to destoy the West.
