http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/Daistallia/PUNKSANDPIRATESFLAG.jpg


I wish to found this party as a bridge between the joke and serious parties.

Goals:

1) To bridge the gap between the so-called "serious" parties and so-called "silly" parties of the NSG parliment.
2) To encourage freedom.
3) To oppose authoritarianism.

In an honest Service, there is thin Commons, low Wages, and hard Labour; in this, Plenty and Satiety, Pleasure and Ease,
Liberty and Power; and who would not ballance Creditor on this Side, when all the Hazard that is run for it, at worst,
is only a sower Look or two at choaking. No, a merry Life and a short one shall be my Motto

—Pirate Captain Bartholomew Roberts

The name and what the party stands for:

Punks - We subscribe to the punk ethos, in it's myrad forms.

Universalist - We are open to all.

Non-Conformists - Enforced conformity to social norms is a dangerous social coercion. This leads to
the forfeiting of free thought.

Kinksters - All humans are in some manner kinky. Embrace yourself.

Anti-nationalists - Nationstates are by their nature dehumanising.

DIYers - Do It Yourself!

Pirates - We subscribe to the anarchist utopian pirate codes.

Individualists -

Anti-authoritarians - Authority is by it's very nature is oppressive, corrupt, and abusive.

Rejects - We accept and embrace all.

Egalitarians - All persons are of equal standing in terms of political power or influence.

Spammers - One person's spam is another person's ordinary post.

Sometimes I punch a random person in the face and then ask them for a quarter. Do I qualify?

Can ye scrub the decks with ye punching hands?

I had this idea of a punk pirate ship. The captain would be shouting "Batten down the atches!"
and the crew would be like "You ain't the boss of us!"

This is an autocratic oligarchy, I refuse to join.

both yar and oi!And a resounding Fukin Aye!

I had this idea of a punk pirate ship. The captain would be shouting "Batten down the atches!"
and the crew would be like "You ain't the boss of us!"Now where have I seen that.. Oh right!Friggin' in the Riggin'
It was on the good ship Venus
By Christ, ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And the mast, a mammoth penis

The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one place to another

Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do

The captains name was Morgan
By Christ, he was a gorgon
Ten times a day he'd stop and play
With his fuckin' organ

The first mate's name was Cooper
By Christ he was a trooper.
He jerked and jerked until he worked
Himself into a stupor

The second mate was Andy
By Christ, he had a dandy
Till they crushed his cock on a jagged rock
For cumming in the brandy

The cabin boy was Flipper
He was a fuckin' nipper
He stuffed his ass with broken glass
And circumcised the skipper

The Captain's wife was Mabel
To fuck she was not able
So the dirty shits, they nailed her tits
Across the barroom table

The Captain had a daughter
Who fell in deep sea water
And by her squeals we knew the eels
Had found 'er sexual quartersSomeone needs to watch The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle ;)

Friggin' in the riggin'!
Friggin' in the riggin'!
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do!


Oooh I do love the Sex Pistols a bit lots.

Yarr! If t'were not for my darling Human Rights Party, I would feel right obliged to join ye, lads. However, I'm afraid my crew needs my support, So I'll be leavin' yen alone again.

I'd join, but I'm already in the ZOMG! Pogo Stick!!!one party...

All's I wanna know is what the hell "suthoritarianism" means.

And props to the guy who posted the Friggin' In The Riggin' lyrics. The Great Rock & Roll Swindle may not have been anywhere close to a real documentary (oh, Malcolm and his shameful acts...), but it was pretty fricking funny (mostly because it was Malcolm's sad attempt at fame and fortune).

I had this idea of a punk pirate ship. The captain would be shouting "Batten down the atches!"
and the crew would be like "You ain't the boss of us!"

Oi! :)

Pirates

We subscribe to the anarchist utopian pirate codes.

These codes contain the following elements:

- which area to sail in search of fortune...
- the terms and conditions of service clearly stated...
- pirates mocking the Admiralty court the division of plunder among crew members...
A pirate captain and possibly the quartermaster (whose powers equaled or surpassed those of the captain) might receive as much as two (sometimes up to five!) shares of the loot taken, while the master gunner, boatswain, and carpenter might receive 1 and3/4 shares. All others would receive 1 share or less.
- intolerable behaviors, such as fighting, gambling, open flame
- punishment or disciplines for broken rules
- compensation for disabling injuries such as loss of eye, hand, arm, or leg (losses of right hand or arm were compensated with more as more pirates were right-handed)

I be needin' an explanation afore I be agreein' to tha change in tha' manifesto

In the late 1960s, some skinheads (including black skinheads) had engaged in Paki-bashing (random violence against Pakistanis and other South Asian immigrants). However, there had also been anti-racist and leftist skinheads from the beginning, especially in areas such as Scotland and Northern England.[2] [3] In the 1970s, the racist violence became more politicized, with the involvement of far right organizations like the National Front and British Movement, which included some skinheads among their ranks. Those organizations' positions against blacks and Asians appealed to some working class skinheads who blamed immigrants for economic and social problems. This led to the public's misconception that all skinheads are neo-Nazis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead

Nazi-Skinheads are a far right subculture that developed in the United Kingdom around the beginning of the 1980s. Typically racist, anti-Semitic and National Socialist, it emerged at a time when the UK was experiencing a second wave of the Punk subculture. The original skinhead subculture started in the late 1960s and had mostly died out by 1972. The revival came as a sort of backlash against the commercialization of punk rock.

Although the original skinhead subculture had heavy British Mod and Jamaican Rude boy influences — including a love for Ska and Soul music — the revival included a sizeable racist nationalist faction, including organizations like Rock Against Communism, Blood and Honour and later, the Hammerskins.

Because of this, the mainstream media began to label the whole skinhead style as neo-Nazi or fascist. The racist subculture eventually spread to North America, Europe and other areas of the world, continuing to grow in the 1990s. It may still be expanding, partly due to revenue invested in promoting the music, style, and culture to youths.

Nazi skinheads are often called "Boneheads" by traditionalist skinheads and Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi-Skinheads

That do it for ye?

Yar, indeed

But what be skinheads if not neo-nazis?
In simplest terms, what be a skinhead?

Yar, indeed

But what be skinheads if not neo-nazis?
In simplest terms, what be a skinhead?

Skinheads are not Nazis or NeoNazis by default-the Media labels them as such because of a vocal minority.

Skinheads are rooted in the UK withthe Mods and Rude Boys.
Do not buy into the propaganda that labels Skins as racists most are not and are actually anti-government pro-common blue collar cats.

But what be skinheads if not neo-nazis?
In simplest terms, what be a skinhead?

Quoth the wiki:
Skinheads, named after their shaven heads, are members of a working class subculture that originated in Britain in the 1960s, where they were heavily influenced by the rude boys of the West Indies and the mods of the UK.

In subsequent decades, the skinhead subculture spread to other parts of Europe, North America and other continents. Politically, they range from far-right racist to far-left anti-fascist — and everything in between (including apolitical). Fashion-wise, they range from the more cleancut mod-influenced 1960s image to the less-strict punk- and hardcore-influenced styles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead

More here: http://libcom.org/history/articles/skinheads

In the simplist terms possible, Skinhead origins are early Brit proto-punks.

Of particular note here are the SHARPS (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice - these are the Skins I personally know bestand agree with most - fuck racists!), RASH (Red Anarchist SkinHeads), and AntiFA or AFA (Anti-Facist Action) Skinheads.

Yarrr, ye have my support!

How's this parley shite work again?

I'm open to suggestions...

Yarrr, ye have my support!

Oi, ye be late, me hearty. We be welcoming ye anyhow.

And a note re the naming o' the MPs (from the manifesto):

- who was voted captain, if the ship's owner was not among them to be in charge...
- which area to sail in search of fortune...
- the terms and conditions of service clearly stated...
- pirates mocking the Admiralty court the division of plunder among crew members...
A pirate captain and possibly the quartermaster (whose powers equaled or surpassed those of the captain) might receive as much as two (sometimes up to five!) shares of the loot taken, while the master gunner, boatswain, and carpenter might receive 1 and3/4 shares. All others would receive 1 share or less.

As I sayd before, I be claiming the captains share, bein 1 seat. That leave 2 seats.

TG me for nominations/votes/volunteers for the others. If I be not recieving nominations/votes/volunteers, I be naming a duty roster....

That's funny, I'm going to a Ninjas vs. Pirates party tonight. I think I'll go as a Viking.

If you're against the Parliament, that's one thing, but if you're not against the Parliament, you should support the bill, as the bill makes it better.The only thing Parliament seems to be doing, is arguing about how they're gonna perpetuate themselves.
Naturally, if the most pressing issue for a newly elected Parliament is how to distribute seats NEXT time, then it has no reason to exist. I'll happily donate however many e-chairs the silly little children want, if that's the problem.

If it isn't the most pressing issue, but simply a result of electing a bunch of severely challenged individuals, that don't know how to be representatives, then the obvious solution is to do away with reps in the first place & stick to direct democracy.How so?Like ^ so.

Parliaments are probably good internet fun, but this one doesn't even pretend to be doing something constructive.

Parliaments are probably good internet fun, but this one doesn't even pretend to be doing something constructive.It is true that this Parliament isn't pretending, sadly. I believe that the bill will help to remedy this. Additionally, this Parliament had a problem in that 4 MPs from 2 parties were never selected. This bill will increase the number of parties elected, and since party founders are more likely to be active than non-party founders, it seems likely that the Parliament would be more active than the past Parliaments have been.

We still need the support of five more MPs to get it to a vote. If we have the support of the P'n'PP it'll make that much easier.

The Articles, also known as the Articles of Agreement or the Pirates Codes, are the basic contract and code of conduct that the pirates of the "classical" age signed on to when joining a crew.

That's where the second P in the party acronym comes from

Pirates

We subscribe to the anarchist utopian pirate codes.

These codes contain the following elements:
Quote:
- who was voted captain, if the ship's owner was not among them to be in charge...
- which area to sail in search of fortune...
- the terms and conditions of service clearly stated...
- pirates mocking the Admiralty court the division of plunder among crew members...
A pirate captain and possibly the quartermaster (whose powers equaled or surpassed those of the captain) might receive as much as two (sometimes up to five!) shares of the loot taken, while the master gunner, boatswain, and carpenter might receive 1 and3/4 shares. All others would receive 1 share or less.
- intolerable behaviors, such as fighting, gambling, open flame
- punishment or disciplines for broken rules
- compensation for disabling injuries such as loss of eye, hand, arm, or leg (losses of right hand or arm were compensated with more as more pirates were right-handed)
