Speak for yourself. Some people actually know shit.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

It takes like a day to educate yourself about the political system of your country, and maybe a few more to understand the basic concepts of how the system works, its history and how you must choose a good candidate to vote for. Sadly, it seems that spending a few nights behind your computer every four year is something that many people are unable to do.

Depends how interested you are. Sadly, I feel that many of the people in this community who actually play NW and belong to a regiment and everything are more interested in "muh l3g1T_ Ch4mp skilSzS" than how their country is governed.

I find that last comment particularly amusing given your user name.

Well yeah, I took and Passed AP Gov and Econ as well, it really stems from memories or myself being 14-16 and spitting out the latest opinion I heard as my own.

I guess my point is that I'm pretty sure some of these people (myself included) don't know our points half as well as we should to debate them.

This so much. Politics discussion on the internet has always been somewhat of a shit shoot anyway. It's not only that some people don't understand the politics they're discussing, but that they simply don't have the experience in the world to make informed decisions. Maybe you know the facts, but not the wider implications behind those facts or the socioeconomics, or anything else required to actually understand the system you're living in. I'm not saying I'm excluded or innocent from this group of people. None of us are.

Riddlez, sorry but you're a massive pseudointellectual. You're no better than anyone here.

Brilliant Dear Leader's generous educational system has revealed to me much about the political knowledge that is to be gained in this world. I must respectfully disagree.

Massive job loss will take place, but if left allowed to, the market will adapt. I just don't want my job to be taken away from me, tbh.

Kim You turned a whole country into a dead waste land... (No offense).
I don't know much about politics, is a reason why I stay out of it whenever I can. Even in real life. (Few months before 18, so I'm not legal to vote). Although I did study Aruba's law and stuff... But it's barely knowledge worth knowing compared to EU and US government systems and law.
The first modder for NW.

You should probably edit your post for clarity. You used the same "quote" for all of the messages, making it look like Nipplestockings wrote all of that :P
