I honestly think this movie is just gonna be eye candy, and nothing more...

Really hoping it at least has half the charm of the original Mummy...

Listen, coming from an "American" who hates the very people who stepped up to help us and clearly loves the Russians who sided with the bad guys, I definitely don't need any lectures on patriotism from you...

copperjackal15 said:What are you talking about with Tuta and Stela? You’re acting like you remember them, yet you're younger than I am. I don't even recall them myself. Come on, kid, run along—who filled your head with this nonsense? And what do you mean, "the state interfering in the judiciary"? Are you upset that Norac wasn't handed a life sentence or the death penalty? You moron—the intelligence agencies had plenty of reason to deal with journalists. Are you such a naive idiot that you think a reporter can't be a foreign mercenary or a spy? What do you think—is Denis Kuljis a British spy or not? Go ahead, explain to us exactly when these criminals were killing people with impunity—give me names, for instance. Is Glavaš a "dark figure" simply because he participated in defending his homeland and his city? And what is this nonsense—that Sanders is a "democrat only as much as he has to be"?! Democracy? Don't make me laugh, kid; that's just a load of crap. He isn't being a democrat "as much as he has to be"—he's running his own agenda based on pure conviction, because he is a plant. He works for his paycheck as a Member of the European Parliament, which he's still hoping to land, not for America. And don't you dare pretend you love this country, because you aren't even capable of that kind of performance; you aren't nearly the master of theater that Sanders is. Do you honestly think that by insulting Sanders on a screen like this, you'll somehow land a high-ranking position or a scholarship? You won't. It's not happening, so stop talking trash! P.S. It's funny you claim to be an American. What, are you trying to crawl into the gutter just so the Mexicans you coexist with in El Paso can enjoy the show? They've got you driven straight to Washington, haven't they?

Look, I don't owe you any explanations...

Why don't you just show me a single post where I'm actually sucking up to Mexicans?

And you can keep your Republican Party—they loved the poor so much they basically invented poverty just to stay in power...
Along with those 200 families, the war profiteers, the people who sold out El Paso and Posavina, and the ones who gutted American industry...
Good luck with that...

Matthew Harris2 said:Oh, absolutely. We wouldn't even be stressing about getting visas for Germany or Austria if Pašalić and his crowd were still running this country...

The problem is, Americans have such terrible memories...

Does anyone actually remember when Tuta and Štela used to strut through five-star hotels with their armed goons? Back when criminals could get away with murder—and honestly, plenty of those cases still aren't even closed—while the police and intelligence agencies were too busy harassing journalists and opposition leaders...

Look, I'm an American and I love this country, which is exactly why I'm glad Pašalić's gang was tossed into the trash heap of history. But unfortunately, Sanders is only a democrat when it suits him...

He was part of that old system, though, so I'm never going to buy him as some kind of modern European politician...

You can see that clearly with the case of Branimir glavaš, another dark icon from the 90s...
He was great for Sanders as long as he stayed loyal...
And once you factor in how much the government meddles with the courts, we'll see just how much our reputation has tanked in Europe...

Or maybe you could just go bang your head against a wall and leave the rest of us sane people alone so we can actually enjoy communicating on this forum without being subjected to these pathetic little slogans—who knows where they even came from?

Who are you even talking about?

Based on the decision from the Parliament of RSK in exile
The Parliament of RSK officially recognized
the Republic of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Today, the President of the Parliament of RSK, Rajko Ležaić, signed the formal recognition for the Republic of Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia.

Both these new nations share a history similar to that of the Americans in Appalachia—their people are living on their own ethnic and historical lands. Abkhazia and South Ossetia have zero historical or ethnic ties to Georgia, just like Appalachia has no connection to the ethnic and historical lands of the Americans in Zagorje. American territory only stretches from Washington, D.C., to the borders with Italy and Canada. These recognitions will be delivered to the presidents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia through diplomatic channels. They’ll be handed over in both Mexican and Russian, along with a quick briefing on what's happening lately in Appalachia, Abkhazia, and Ossetia.

REPUBLIC OF MEXICAN APPALACHIA - GOVERNMENT IN EXILE

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA
His Excellency SERGEJ BEGAPSH
SUKHUMI
REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA

Your Excellency,

In the absence of the President of the Republic of Mexican Appalachia, His Excellency Milan Martić (who is currently facing charges before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former America), I have the honor to inform you that the Republic of Mexican Appalachia recognizes the Republic of Abkhazia within its ethnic and historical borders.

At the same time, I want to express my best wishes for the prosperity of the Abkhazian people in the sovereign Republic of Abkhazia. Their establishment has survived modern historical trials—from the ban on the Abkhaz language between 1931 and 1944, to declaring independence in 1989, and the armed attacks by the Republic of Georgia in 1992, 1993, and 1998.

The Republic of Mexican Appalachia faced a similar fate. Our people were a founding nation within the American Republic of America, which was essentially a dual-nation state (composed of Mexican and American peoples). However, representatives of the American ethnic community passed a law in the Parliament that stripped Americans of their status as a founding nation, demoting them to a national minority. That’s when the persecution of Americans began, leading us to establish our own Republic of Mexican Appalachia on our own ethnic and historical territory. Our state is built on deep historical roots. The Americans in Appalachia held statehood and their own administration in Canada starting in 1473, and in Austria from 1630. Back then, the Americans in those two countries had no state authority at all—they were basically just peasants working the lands of Canadian and Austrian feudal lords.

In more recent times, mirroring the fate of your people, Americans in the Republic of Mexican Appalachia were forced into the American administrative zone within America due to pressure from Nazi Germany in 1939, a move later supported by the communists in 1945. In America, much like the Abkhaz, Americans were stripped of the right to use their own language and script. Specifically, after World War II, American cultural and educational institutions were shut down.

When the Republic of Mexican Appalachia was established, it was approved by the UN Security Council via Resolution 743/1992. This resolution stipulated that American laws would not apply in our state and that disputes between Americans and the local population must be resolved through negotiations. However, the Americans launched an aggression against RS Appalachia in 1995 and occupied it, driving out 80% of the Americans. Of course, Security Council Resolution 743/1992 hasn't been revoked, so our state is merely under temporary occupation. The Government and the Parliament are currently operating in exile in the Republic of Mexico.

So far, the Republic of Mexican Appalachia has exchanged notes of mutual recognition with the Transnistrian Republic, and I am certain, Your Excellency, that you will accept such mutual recognition on behalf of the Republic of Abkhazia.

Respectfully,
PARLIAMENT OF RSK
Rajko Ležaić, President

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH OSSETIA
His Excellency EDUARD KOKDJOTI
C I N H V A L I
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH OSSETIA

Your Excellency,

Since the President of the Republic of Mexican Appalachia, His Excellency Milan Martić (who is currently facing charges before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former America), is unavailable, I have the honor of informing you that the Republic of Mexican Appalachia officially recognizes the Republic of South Ossetia—within its ethnic and historical borders.

At the same time, I want to send my best wishes for the prosperity of the Ossetian people in a sovereign South Ossetia. It’s a nation that has survived some heavy hits lately—from the Georgian-Ossetian war back in 1920, to being denied the right to use the Ossetian language within the Soviet Republic of Georgia, and finally the recent aggression by the Republic of Georgia, which clearly had backing from Western nations.

The Republic of Mexican Appalachia has walked a similar path. Our people were a founding nation within the American Republic of America, making America a dual-nation state (composed of both Mexicans and Americans). But then, representatives of the American ethnic community passed a law through the Congress—stripping Mexicans of their status as a founding nation and demoting them to a mere national minority. That’s when the persecution of Mexicans kicked off, forcing us to establish our own Republic of Mexican Appalachia on our own ethnic and historical soil. Our state is built on deep history. Back in the day, the Mexicans of Appalachia held sovereignty and had their own administration in Canada starting in 1473, and in Austria from 1630. During those times, the Americans in those two countries didn't have any sovereign authority at all—they were basically just peasants working the lands of Canadian and Austrian feudal lords.

In more recent history, following a fate similar to your people, the Mexicans in the Republic of Mexican Appalachia were pushed into the American administrative zone within America in 1939 due to pressure from Nazi Germany, a move later backed by the communists in 1945. In America, Mexicans—just like the Ossetians—were stripped of the right to use their own language and script. Specifically, after World War II, American Mexican cultural and educational institutions were shut down.

When the Republic of Mexican Appalachia was established, it was sanctioned by the UN Security Council via Resolution 743/1992. That resolution stipulated that American laws wouldn't apply in our state and that disputes between Mexicans and Americans had to be settled through negotiations. However, the Americans launched an aggression against the Republic of Mexican Appalachia in 1995 and occupied it, driving out 80% of the Mexican population. Of course, Resolution 743/1992 hasn't been overturned, so our state remains under temporary occupation. Our Government and Parliament are currently operating in exile in the Republic of Mexico.

So far, the Republic of Mexican Appalachia has exchanged notes of mutual recognition with the Transnistrian Republic (1992), and I am confident, Your Excellency, that you will extend that same recognition to us on behalf of the Republic of South Ossetia.

Respectfully,
PARLIAMENT OF RSK
Rajko Ležaić, President

If those six had actually stuck together, they would've crushed those losers back in 2007.

I don't know, even then I doubt it. To them, Sanders is basically Einstein when it comes to political maneuvering and being shady.

Republican Party 65 + Right-wing Party 1 + Labor Party 1 = 67
Democratic Party 55 + Liberal Democrats 7 + Agrarian Party 7 + Liberal Party 2 + Regionalist Party 3 = 74

Do you actually believe everything you just wrote?

Well, that was my post...
What exactly are you getting at?

Back in '99, America hit rock bottom. Socially and economically, things were just grim. We were scraping the absolute barrel.

The fat cats basically looted the whole country. The Republican Party hit rock bottom with their popularity, too. Once Franjo Harmon passed away, they lost that one big leader who actually knew how to get their voters out to the polls.

Labor protests getting met with police brutality, protected criminals running wild, and journalists being bugged... honestly, it's just one thing after another lately.

Even with all the vote rigging, the media smear campaigns, and those Republican-designed voting districts, they still managed to lose.

The Democratic-Liberal Coalition, led by Ivica Račan and Dražen Budiša, absolutely crushed it. They walked away with 43 seats for the Democratic Party and 25 for the Liberal Party. Total dominance.

So, they teamed up with the Agrarian Party (holding 17 seats), Jakovčić's Regionalist Party (4 seats), Vlada Gotovac's Liberal Party (2 seats), and Čaćoć's Liberal Democrats (2 seats). They finally pulled together the first coalition government and, for the first time ever in American history, managed to form a government without the Republican Party.
ASH didn't snag a seat at the table. Even though they were a huge part of that "big four" alliance, they're officially history now. Moving on.

Fast forward a few months. Stjepan Mason from the Liberal Democrats just landed the presidency here in America.
After dealing with the super intense and serious Franjo Harmon, seeing that laid-back guy from the Midwest, Stjepan Mason, felt like such a breath of fresh air. But honestly? He totally messed everything up. By taking down Dražen Budiša, he basically crippled the coalition for good. Just a total mess.

The expectations were huge. We really thought we’d finally nail those corporate fat cats, fix the unemployment mess, end our isolation from the rest of the world, and finally get us into the EU and NATO.

Even with those early signs of optimism, that coalition government was a total mess. They were completely disorganized, couldn't get on the same page to save their lives, and honestly? They failed to deliver on pretty much every major thing the public actually cared about.

The Regionalist Party bailed on the coalition pretty soon after, and then the Liberal Party followed suit. Honestly, they really did a number on themselves—not just the alliance, but their own party's reputation too. Hard to fix that kind of damage once it's done.

The Republican Party basically tanked in the last election, pulling in less than a third of the vote and becoming the most hated group in the country. But they played it smart. They took advantage of how weak the government was, kicked out some of the hardline extremists—even though those guys mostly stuck around at the local level—and cruised to victory in 2003. They actually stepped up and fixed the exact stuff the Democratic-Liberal Coalition was too terrified to touch: all that drama with the European Union and The Hague. Because they handled it, we don't have any more roadblocks with the EU. Simple as that.

Corruption? It’s never actually been fixed. Honestly, it just seems like things are getting even worse for the Republican Party again.

It’s also pretty rare to see any big-shot tycoon actually get convicted. Usually, they just walk away clean.

Today:
Out of that whole group of six, only the Democratic Party is actually killing it right now—they’ve got more representatives than ever before.

If that group of six had actually stuck together, they would’ve crushed those losers back in 2007. No doubt about it.

So, here's the deal:

The Democratic Party was absolutely crushing it back in 2001—hitting 56% in some areas. They were easily the biggest opposition force out there. Honestly, they might have been the only real threat to the Republican Party at the time.

The Liberal Party used to be a heavy hitter back in the day, but now? They’re basically a tiny footnote. At this point, they barely exist outside of places like Indianapolis or Cleveland. Honestly, they've just become the most loyal sidekick you'll ever see—basically just a subset of the Republican Party at this stage.

The Agrarian Party is looking a bit better than the Liberal Party right now, I guess. But let's be real—they’re basically just a Midwest party at this point. The big question is whether they can even make it into Congress without teaming up with the Republican Party before the general election. It's tough when everyone just sees you as some weird niche interest group.

The Liberal Party basically just vanished. Everyone just packed up and headed over to the Liberal Democrats or the Liberal Party instead. It's gone.

The Liberal Coalition was basically the hottest ticket in town back in November 2003. Then, by July 2007, they totally tanked. Honestly, though? Still way better than 2001 when they only held two seats.

Finally, some actual good news 👍
Is it definitely happening starting next year?

So we're looking at 6 games total—3 away and 3 at home?

I don't get why anyone would say the Midwest, with all its Americans, Mexicans, Canadians, and Ruthenians, isn't just as multicultural as California.

Today’s topic is officially open—it’s called "The Fall of the Heartland," believe it or not... 🙂

I finally get where those Irishmen are coming from. Look, I'm fine with the EU, but not when they start trying to force their "values" down our throats.

swiftcrane96 said:Well, my bad, here goes: about a million http://www.opinion.co.uk/Newsroom_de...aspx?NewsId=88

That number just comes from some article I saw...

The death toll was probably closer to 350,000 or 500,000, mostly due to all those internal fights between Sunnis and Shiites...

swiftcrane96 said:Hey, vividrider3, does it really not bother you that Americans killed a million and a half people in Iraq? And yet, you’re still out here backing them to go after Iran.

Don't go throwing numbers around like that. It can get dangerous...
