<br />
 
<br />
If you trust me, you can PM me, and I will announce it here and on the general page for our region so we can endorse the right person.
<br />
 
<br />
If people don't like the secret ballot type, we can just post and add to this thread.  I promise to be honest!]]></description>

			<description>The word communism holds varying meanings dependent upon time and place of its usage.  For some, the word describes a utopian society with full equality and social services.  For others, the word is the very antithesis of the theories modern societies have been founded upon, which causes trepidation and concern.  No matter what the usage, the concept of communism has certainly shaped modern society and modern political and economic thinking.  Because of its immense influence in societies across  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>revolutionary times</dc:creator>
			<description>Why is it that people always think it's sad that I stay at home on New Year's?  I mean, I hate crowds, so public bars/events are out.  None of my friends tend to be hosts or hostesses.  My space is too small for all the people that they would want to join them, so I just watch movies.

 

And then all I hear is pity in their voices after I tell them I stayed home.  If I'm fine with it, why the hell do they care?

 

Sorry for the rant.  I just needed to share that somewhere. </description>

I'm personally agnostic.  There's a born-again Christian in my office, and he always gives me and another a hard time about our lack of religion.  He finally asked me directly why I was no longer Christian, and I told him I would never dare to think I was smart enough to know what (if anything) was out there.  For once,  ...</description>

It is actually probably a bit more complex than NS2 will be, though I know that we will stay loyal, but I thought that perhaps some of you might be interested in joining me in playing.
