I'm happy with the sentences. People are not above the law simply because of their middle class background or that their protest has validity.

As the lake touches 2 provinces, which one is at fault here, Ontario?

So both Ontario and Ottawa are liable for the 126 billion$? Assuming it is the fair value, obviously. But for the sake of discussion, let's assume it is.

Something I just was thinking of: A lot of the critique of Kamala from the Left is tied to her time as DA and AG and labeling her "Copmala", which, personally I feel is silly and doesn't engage with what she actually did in office. Regardless, I wonder if due to her past positions she might actually be in a unique position to rollback a bit of the police state that has been endlessly building. An "I've seen how the sausage is made and it's The Jungle out there" type concept to work from. She's got my vote regardless, but I think it would be amazing if she took some of her policies from that era of her past combined with her current stances to ease up that creeping awfulness.

You are an idealist, aren't you?

Not convinced that having 300+ countries in the HRE is good for gameplay.

Johan said on the forums that most of the realms in the HRE have partition on inheritance too

It also becomes a 30 minute movie. He's like every-fucking-where.

Love child of Daffy Duck and a Rastafarian.  That's some racist shit.

It is odd in light of how the black actor felt.

I've been listening to too much Bach.  The first thing I think of when looking at the map is all the potential open kapellmeister positions.

That will probably come in the form of one flavour pack. priced at 6-10 Euros

Seriously?  Words have meanings.  You can bend them a little, but "nazis support Israel" is a way too far.  I brought it back up because Josq said something about the stupidest thing possible, and that was the stupidest thing I could think of at the moment.  Josq has been redefining words in this thread to suit his needs in this thread, don't join with him on that.

Yes, word have meanings, and proper nouns have different meanings than common nouns.  I hate the commonization of "nazi" but am smart enough to recognize that it is a fait accompli.  You may continue to shout at clouds at your leisure.
