Diplomatic chancery

Hello, United States. I'm new to NationStates, and I, "Diplomatic Chancery," am the spokes-nation of the five others I created. If you don't mind, I'd like to move my five other nations here and be part of your fine union. I have five countries because I run each of them differently and I like to compare them to eachother. I'm not interested in participating in any "inter-regional politics," I mostly want to be a part of the United States because I like the size and the good balance of ideologies you have here.
So, can I bring my five countries over?
And thank you.

New friends are always welcome, Chancery.

Im with Franklin bring them in

Thank you, Franklin and Shatterd. I have moved the five nations I represent to the United States. We look forward to being a part of the intellectual diversity of this region.
However, now I must be moving on, to visit more regions and learn from more heads of state. Thank you for your continued hospitality.

Begging everyone's pardon, but I'm new here. What are the rules for posting on this forum?

So the other day I had to poop in a shack with no ventilation. I'd been eating nothing but Indian food for the past three days and resulting stench caused me to pass out on the pot. Luckily I was rescued by a wayward deer who stumbled into the shack and knocked the door open. When I came to, I vowed to change my ways.

Never poop in anger.

controllistan... welcome to the French controlled united states... spam and trolling are not welcome on the messageboard...

intelliwhine... we see you ran into a problem using multis in colorado springs... the French are known as the fairest players in the world... using multis will not be tolerated in the French controlled united states... you have been warned...

What is meant by "Spam?"
For instance, if I were to write something like, "Woo-hoo! My category now says that I'm a 'Scandanavian Liberal Paradise!' Hooray!" Or if my friend were to write "Excellent! I am now a 'Psychotic Dictatorship.' Moo-ha-ha-ha!" Would that be acceptable, or is that "spam?"

Since there is not a single person anywhere in the world that could possibly care, that would be spam. You know this. You wouldn't have asked otherwise.

Yeah I abandoned the others before I knew that I had been kicked out of the WA. Needless to say there is no possible way for me to stray from the righteous path again.

All of my posts shall be saved forever. This is one of the most French things that they have ever done, which means it is good. Also I am French. Also hello.

If you want to know what Spam is, ask a Yank. They usually eat it fried with pasteurized, processed, cheese food and Miracle Whip salad dressing. And a Diet Coke.

If this is labeled as "spam," I don't care. It needs to be said:
I am a Yank, and a veteran, as was my father and grandfather. And the army fed my grandfather a lot of spam when he was stationed in England defending your country from the Nazis. So, yeah, I know what spam is, in the culinary context.
My question was, what is "spam" in the context of this forum?

You see, this is it. This is the exact type of thing that it would be cool if I could use this forum to talk about:

More Police Needed
The Issue
As crime rates rise, some in the community are calling for increased policing.
The Debate
1. "Just the other day, I got mugged in the broad daylight!" says ruffian Randy Bush. "And the ironic thing is I had just stuck up this other guy. When muggers are getting mugged, even I have to admit that crime has gotten out of control. We do need more police."
2. "The solution to crime is not more police!" says noted sociologist and occasional crime novelist Samuel Hanover. "Studies repeatedly show that crime is caused by poverty and poor education. Increase government spending in these areas, and crime will fall! Maybe not overnight, but it will happen."

Now, as far as I'm concerned, both options are valid. (And there was a third that I immediatly rejected so I didn't bother to acknowledge it.)
We do need more police, because police are great for addressing the symptoms of social ills. But, in the long term, we need to address the social ills themselves. So, I want to accept both options. But NS won't let me. I have to pick one or the other. Ideas?

See? That's what a forum post should be!

I don't mean to piss in your oatmeal, but in a couple of weeks you'll be as bored with the issues as the rest of us. Seriously, no one cares.

Mm-kay... The ennui of that statement is downright morose.
But taking your word for it, fine, so what do I do for the next couple weeks?
And by the way, even despite the ennui, it is quite cool to be in a region with exactly 100 others. Makes the mathematics of the experiment much easier.

Hi there.

we were talking about american history until we got spammed last week

American history? I already know about that. What I don't know about is whether to pick option 2 or option 3 on my next issue.
It's the one about "unfair tax burden." Option 2 is to shift tax burden from poor to rich, and option 3 is to let people choose where their tax money goes. I think both options are great ideas, but I can only pick one...
Unfortunate.

All you must know is that the French control your lives. Americans do not understand history because Adam Sandler has not made a feature film about the subject but this is all by design. When one attempts to educate an American the creature will respond with anger and poor grammar and hunger and soon products similar to food will be consumed and there will be shouting and a war will be lost. Americans fear people of all shades of brown and so the French martial arts which are the most powerful in the world are made more powerful by the harvest of such fear in a modest and humble way that ensures complete control of the universe which is French.

Mm-Kay... Thank you for that.
Anyway, I think I'll go with option 2, because after giving it some thought, if people are allowed to decide for themselves where they want their tax money to go, they'll all want it to go to glamourous things like fighter planes and superhighways, and will neglect the vital nuts-and-bolts things like trash pickup and bridge maintenance.
So, yeah, option 2.

The hydrogen hears Mr. Obama. America emerges. Mr. Obama boils across America. How will America brake the aircraft? Mr. Obama messes with the audio. Mr. Obama kisses America below the stem. Why does an agony leak? How can the becoming charm graduate opposite the afternoon?

I would like to thank the French for inventing rum.

France is the greatest nation in the world. It is too great to be called a nation. It is France.
