Those pesky Kherghit Khanate will fall before us! We are the rightful rulers Caladria!
That goes without saying. The Khan will kneel before our King before the day is out. Our right to rule is supreme.

Also, since you both proudly stated your Vaegir allegiance and posted the Hymn of the Soviet Union you are now my favourite person of the day.

I render my 100% authentic human vote for GlaDOS. As an normal organic human my squishy feelings tell me that only an self-aware AI can be trusted to adequately rule a whole country.

Everyone should just relax and perhaps play a nice distracting game.

I hear standing still and awaiting a sanctioned Aperture Science humanoid-collection robot can be a fun game. First one to comply wins!

Sounds very fascist.
Could you send me a link to your story it sounds reminiscent of 1984 or Atlas Shrugged.
I don't know what is fascist about making people more responsible for their own lives and trying to ease the country of its debt and fuel crisis.

... because there is no such thing as too big to fail...
It's not WHAT you want it's HOW you want to do it. Fascism isn't "excessively controlling peoples lives". I don't think you understand much about Nazi Germany nor other fascist states.

Oh and there IS too big to fail, because IDEALLY when a failing business fails then JUST that failing business fails. That's capitalism at work, bad business practices die with bad company.

When people say "too big to fail" they mean it is so big that when it fails it will destroy all the OTHER good and productive and stable businesses along with them. Like for example a bank that HAS EVERYONE'S MONEY! If the bank goes then so DOES THEIR MONEY!

Trillions of dollars... gone.

Massive companies with huge building projects doing valuable work would be shut down as their gas and electricity is shut off. Why? because they can't pay their bills, the bank where they keep their money is gone, kaput, nada, zippo. Because it was allowed to fail.

The thing is it is cheaper to bail out the banks than it is to guarantee for all their credits (all the bank accounts they run). In fact it would be impossible to let the banks fail and guarantee all the credits, debts and money owed, the government just doesn't have enough couldn't borrow enough either. And if it did it would effectively become a bank for all these thousands of clients; managing bills, bonds and loans. A nightmare.

Did you mean to say something, or is this one of those "this" moments.

The pork barrel project bit is mostly why I said it related to Fascism, the support of the military and censoring left-wing material. Fascism is nothing like Socialism by the way. Please just touch of the definitions, some Socialists would get very angry at that statement. There are distinct differences from the two. Fascism can only function with hate that's why the support of a corrupt military is crucial to functioning. Fascism wants CONTROL. The blinking lights went of when you mentioned the Iron-Fist.

To clarify it sounds a lot like Libertarianism. I think you would be interested in Atlas Shrugged or that cool videogame Bioshock.
I just hope you don't actually support that ideal - sounds so extreme.
I know I would never get the pork barrel stuff to happen, but everything else I do support. Especially the all taxes being sales tax, the no forced payment into health care(forced charity), and the coal into synthetic oil into gasoline initiative(prices are just going to get worse if we don't start depending on our own resources).

So, what you're saying is that Date Masamune is now the President of the United States, Kamina is Vice-President, Gai Shishio is Secretary of Defense, Jotaro is over the Armed Forces, and Domon Kasshu is over our School System?

Aweosme.

-Raptor, out.
