Exactly. Here in languish there is no public debate, other than among a few socialist flavors. Languish is suppression and ridicule of conservative values while whitewashing the failures of leftist policies.

There has been nothing in any of your posts since your conversion to fully paid up Tea Party know-nothing that indicates you have the slightest idea what debate consists of.  Posting some online blog screed then whining when people disagree with you is not debate.  Evidence.  Proof.  Causality.  Repercussions.  Preferences.  Those are the elements of debate.

Which is funny because all the real leftists all left due to this being a 'conservative American board' :lol:

Oi, I'm still here!  :mad:

If there is one common denominator for Languish posters, it's misantrophy. :P

You can't be loathed or loathe if you don't loathe yourself.
Put that on a motivational poster.

I have to keep working hard so I don't misantrophy away?

You need to work hard to keep your levels of misanthropy up. Alternatively, you could just follow the current election coverage.

I don't get Girolamo's post.
Why a classical civilization?

The term "Forum" comes from classical antiquity:  Forum_(Roman)

QuoteI mean, if he is trying to be clever and make an analogy for Languish, the last setting i would use would be a classical civilization.

Oh, I don't know, we're not that different from the classical world.  For instance women play only a marginal role here.   ;)

To answer your question seriously, Siege, I'd create a fantasy world that was filled with fun and adventure (similar to The Hobbit) but with a certain amount of wackiness akin to the Land of Ooo from "Adventure Time".
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
