+1 to Self harm for listening to Кино. I have been listening to a lot of Molchat Doma and various Russian Midwest Emo bands.

Also, I don't think Damn Whøre is a Russian, but whatever the song is still awesome, so here are two versions.

It's unfortunate that the original is so short!

stunned a. dazed, stupefied, shocked, paralyzed, nonplussed, dumbfounded, *bowled over, *floored, *blown away, *seeing stars, overwhelmed, astonished. ANT. composed, unruffled.

It could also mean stunned or else, depend on the context, I think.

As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Protest is an essential liberty. It is how the governed make clear that their consent has been withdrawn.

Sadly that's not really my forte. Perhaps try the Command & Conquer soundtrack? There are some good pieces in that.

Well, with over a thousand issues now, the deck is very large and the number of issues that can address things may be small.

Latino island wrote:I just had an issue saying this lady was nonplussed about something… I had to google what the word meant… who used nonplussed when they mean confused?

That is actually the original sense of the word. It comes from a Latin phrase (non plus ultra, "nothing more beyond [this/that]"), which originally was used as a noun to refer to a riddle or unsolved question or the like. It then quickly developed a verb sense, "I was nonplussed about the strange question" etc. In the 20th century, particularly in the United States, it gained a new (unrelated) sense of, more or less, having nothing further to say, having no strong reaction or being unaffected. This was and is widely considered a mistaken definition, but it is widely used, even in professional publications in both the US and UK (e.g. both The Times and the NYT.)

I agree. And I like Franklin quite a bit. I especially agree with him on the point that the turkey should have been the US national bird. But I do think giving up some liberties for safety has warrant in some situations. Like for instance, an invasion, or even worse.. an apocalypse. But generally I am for a nice balance between security and liberty. It should also be said that there is a distinction between liberty and freedom. Liberties are something you earn. Whilst freedom is with man wherever they are, born in their spirits. Unless they are enslaved of course. But in that instance there freedom is stolen from them, but they can gain it back with vigilance.

Note the critical terms though, the ones so often excised when people misquote this statement: essential liberty, a little temporary safety. If his point was that there were never ever cases where safety might mean an abrogation of liberty, there would be no reason to add those words. But at the same time, those words make a further declaration: there are some Liberties which are too great to sacrifice, which are essential.

I disagree with you on your distinctions regarding "liberties" being "earned." Indeed, I'm quite confused why you would think there is such a hard distinction between "freedom" and "liberty," as the words are synonyms (one Germanic, the other Latin.) What is it that means a liberty must be "earned"? Who has the power to judge that a liberty is in fact "earned"? How did they acquire that power?

Bad kingdom islands wrote:WHY DO I NEED TO BE FOUND HERE!?

Your nation ceased to exist (CTE'd) and you refounded it. A CTE'd nation is removed from is region, and the game doesn't track what region you were in. Since every nation MUST have a region, refounded nations are put into one of three "sinker" regions: Balder, Osiris, or Lazarus.

Threforia

Today has been productive. I instituted gun control as well as created an underground capital city. I think I need to find a good name for my capital since I currently just call it "Threforia City".

I made a spelling error towards the end there on my part, apologies. As to how I define liberties, they are things that are not integral to life, but earned by being a good member of your society, wherever that may be. Yes I know different countries handle things differently, but I'm speaking in general terms. Now take firearms for instance.. to me, that is a Right, a part of freedom, as everyone has the Right to defend themselves or oppose those who oppress them. If does not have to be a firearm, but the option should always be available. Which is why I take issue with many Anti-gun stances. Owning a car on the other hand, is a liberty. It is not an intrinsic part of life. One does not need to own an automobile in order to succeed, or prosper. It does make things much easier, and more convenient, but much can be achieved on foot. Owning a car is a liberty given to those who not only prove themselves in a test of skill in driving, but also those who prove that they can and will maintain their vehicle as best they can(with the unintended circumstances of accidents taken into account of course), and that they will not abuse their vehicle and potentially break the law. That's a little example there for you.
