I'd just like to point out that my reply to Faelinn was gold, and you people must be cinematically ignorant to have missed it. :weep:

I don't get it.

The reason he hasn't posted since then is because I made him go kill a presidential candidate.

If Taiwan wants some new Jets, they should just buy an existing sports team, move them to Taipei and rename them... :P

Which ones?  The KMT president, the KMT legislature, or the people that voted for them?

Of course, should Taiwan decide to give up on reunification entirely, I see no reason not to support that.

Edit: WELL, this post doesn't make a lot of sense now. :P

Mongers drive by?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Incidentally, I hate seeing "Taiwan" in an article.

I don't.  They're their own nation, carving out their own democracy and their own political heritage the hard way: by existence.
They deserve a different name to reflect their new culture, their new nation.  GOD BLESS TAIWAN WHITE HOT NUCLEAR DEATH TO RED CHINA

It could be going backwards.

Then it would be right at least twice a day.

Not necessarily.  But how about this, the arms fell off.  Now it can never be right.  Fuck you.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

History of mental illness?  Tortured by peers?  A banal object of love or hatred?  This is how Batman villains get started.

It is easy for a stopped analog clock to always be wrong. For example, the short hand points directly at the 12 and the long hand at the 6. In fact, the probability that a random hand configuration is valid approaches zero at high levels of precision.
