Dear fellow Nations, this is an open letter, addressing to Crazy Monkeymen, the founder of Taijitu.
Dear Crazy Monkeymen.
It recently came to my attention that, many nations within our region has unreasonable policies imposed upon their respective citizens that does not fit the spirit of Taijitu.
Taijitu, is supposed to be a Utopia for those fleeing oppression, and yet, I found many nations within Taijitu are Corporate Police States and PSYCHOTIC Dictatorship.
I believe, as a responsible member of Taijitu, we should expel such nations from our region to maintain regional stability and integrity.
I suggest that we remove all UN-Classified Psychotic Dictatorship and Iron-Fist nations immediately from Taijitu.
Best wishes, and have a great weekend.
Nelson McNamara

I don't we'll be doing that. It's people's right to choose their UN category, we can't kick them for that. Besides, that's only worth anything if you RP.
I'm a benevolent dictatorship, and I don't expect to be kicked because I'm not a bureaucracy democracy.
-
dude, were not going to kick people out because of what nation sates says.
-
Thank you for that display of eloquence, Bara, you are right.
If this is a joke, it made me giggle a bit. If this is serious, I doubt it is worth commenting on it. I've seen hundreds of new-comers in NS but I've never heard such a suggestion.
-
still, he has a point.
-
dude, we all stay unless they leave by choice. we have no right on kicking them out for no reason.
-
How about we just kick you out?
Seriously, and Delfos he does not have a point, just because someones nation says something doesn't mean they act that way on the forums or in NS. For example my main nation is a Corporate Police State. Does that mean I agree with that form of government, no, in fact I am the opposite in Real Life and I play NationStates as a game. I know that may come to a shock but no we can't do that.
-
why kick me out...
-
He's talking to Delfos.
-
::) I'm not saying we should kick anybody, I'm against social exclusion by ideal.
I think it's ok having the most idiotic dictatorships, whatever makes you happy, i wouldn't agree with bringing such idiotic ideals out of the games, but it's a mad world we live in, what do i care? The point i was referring is that this is a community, people get insulted for saying what they think, even excluded (naughty ryaz). Has this madness reached the core of Taijitu? Are we all Idiotic Dictators?
encourage kicking me out and you're giving me all the reason

MBAJ.

Just to add my :2c:: it would go against our ideals to kick people out of our region for having policies directed towards fictional people that some few of us don't like or agree with; that's precisely the type of oppression I imagine we want to fight against.
Then again, you may have been being sarcastic and, in such a case, I salute you for a job well done!
-
Um Delfos, when he said "How about we just kick you out?", I think he was talking to McNamara.
-
I thought that too, but Myro added his will, doesn't matter, does it? Encouraging kicking anyone out and it's giving me all the reason anyway. I also would like to applaud Allama's post, specially the sarcasm part.

Thank you.
Also if someone can't tell, I don't want anyone to get kicked out.

Come on peoples. This guy has one post and he just arrived and comes up with this idea.
Can`t you smell the typical forum troll?
From my opinion he just came here to stir up trouble.
Besides have you seen HIS nationstates data?
I don`t think this is worth fighting over.
Just ignore him.
That really hurts those people.
-
Hi Nelson. You know, when I first arrived on NS, I assumed that nations were supposed to belong to regions with similar types of government and that sort of thing. But that turned out not to so. You'll find that regions hold nations of every kind. It really isn't important.
And everyone else - he is new here. He made an assumption about the way things go. Let's not go shooting him for a mistaken newbie assumption, okay? :P

a responsible member of Taijitu,...
I suggest that we remove all UN-Classified Psychotic Dictatorship and Iron-Fist nations immediately from Taijitu.
You know your nation is ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, right?
1 post...99 million...true, Mama Khab, he's just new.
MBAJ.
Which means?
-
I was going to look it up, but I realised it probably means something like Must Be A Joke.
Which I disagree with. It's more likely just a new guy unfamiliar with how Taijitu works, or a deliberate troll. Either way, it's probably best to just ignore him.
-
Oh, so we do ignore guys which are not familiar with how Taijitu works now? :D :D :D :trout:

Hope you can aim with that... :D
-
yeah, a trout is much easier to aim
-
Hope you can aim with that... :D
Why do we need to aim? We catapult them out of here, not catapult something at them.
-
oh yah....mmmh...that makes sense :-X that kinda looks like a stone you're catapulting though...

to photoshop!

Taijitu, is supposed to be a Utopia for those fleeing oppression
Yes, you are right, but in the wrong context. Taijitu was created by its Founders after having been ejected from their former region and having been oppressed there for many months. People can do as they please with their nations, but it is the forum and the region in general that is being referred to in that sentence.
I hope this clears things up :) If not, drop me a PM and I'll be happy to help.

How can we flee oppression when anyone has power? [insert complaints about any and all forms of hierarchy]
That said, the only way to avoid oppression is to oppress harder.
-
The OP's post wasn't as far-fetched as it sounded. Some NS regions DO kick nations for being the "wrong" government type. I wouldn't assume that he's a troll (though it's possible). "Innocent until proven guilty" applies to alleged trolls too.
-
I'm not sure if "innocent until proven guilty" is a consistent Taijitu policy.

Let we rename the thread title, A Modest Proposal?
