A REAL Fake Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of unimportant events it becomes necessary for one forum to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the websites of the cyber universe, the separate and equal station to which the assumed traditions of cyberspace entitle them, a indecent lack of respect to the opinions of anyone else requires that they should rub in the causes which impel them to the separation.


Ok, maybe its because I am bored as hell but I was reading through the "New Declaration" thread and came up with a novel idea! We the people of NSG should declare our independence from the rest of cyberspace for no other reason than that we can!

So who hear on NSG wants to help draft a real fake declaration?

Yeah, I'll give a hand.

It'll be worse off for it, though.

Hmm...

We members of NSG hereby declare Independence from the Internets.

I don't see how this could possibly work

We need to send some suicide bombers down teh intertubes. If we start destroying all the porn, civilization will soon start to collapse and the free world will bow down before any demand we put to them.

Yes, but first we need to declare our independence so its a legal act of war and not terrorism

I don't see how it could possibly fail!

We'll need some charismatic revolutionaries.

I say we make our declaration, then start raiding on everything else on the net (such as porn) with the excuse that those sites were under the rule of forces that stood in the way of a free web

oh they'l come in time, don't you worry, but in order for that to happen we need the guns.
*feels revolutionary*

genociding just about all of Europe and defending it's people against the 'barbarians'.
setting up old hatreds for thousands of years to come, they are also bastards to fight in Rome, you would not believe how irritating they are to fight. and the stupid senate idea, what silly sod came up with that one?
suuure they got aqueducts but so what? the Britons were actually cleaner than the Romans when they arrived in Briton. (God knows what strange delusion that Roman General had to attack Briton).

then again the historical battles they fought were pretty bloody, and as blood inevitably follows from guns i support big and mostly pointless battles...
fricking Romans, don't get me started on them.

I'm sorry, but I don't like the direction that this discussion about the new Declaration is taking.

I hereby announce my intention to secede just as soon as the rest of you get around to declaring independence.

Just you try and stop me.

If we become an independent country, those foreigners from 4chan might come here illegally and TAKE OUR JERBS!

We of the Internets do not take this Rebellion lightly, if you of the NationStates General continue to take this course of action we will have no choice but to commence hostilities in order to preserve the peace of our realm...
