Well, thanks for sharing your views on things and his views on things.<br /><br />Chomsky says that once people behave nicely, then they won't need a government. This may turn out to be true in some future time.<br /><br />Here is where we differ: he says it should stick around until people are nice and rational enough for it to be gone. Maybe even strengthen the government in the meantime. My point is that I am skeptical of this. I think doing this might actually push the end goal further away.<br /><br />First, I think it is fair to say that government is a concept, as opposed to something absolute, like a person, rock, tree, etc.<br /><br />I would say it is a concept of how humans should interact. They do of course have local differences, but there is always or almost always a set series of similarities between them, including a law creator class, which is sometimes the same as the ruler class, an enforcer class. Usually, there are other classes, most typically a war class and a propaganda class.<br /><br />Now, the reason why they are powerful is because people assume they have legitimacy. Why do people typically think this? Because people are raised that way as children to think that way.<br /><br />So even if government buildings are destroyed and armies demolished, politicians and bureaucrats killed, then more people will step in to fill those roles so long as enough people in an area believe that they are needed.<br /><br />So once believe in legitimacy of government is dead, then government will also be dead.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.<br /><br />Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.<br /><br />But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

There are no moderators and really there never have been in any real capacity. When there were moderators they would set sites as NSFW, but beyond that, they didn't have the power to do much.<br /><br />The problem stems in that anyone who would be a moderator here is also a member. Each member has their own point of view on who is a troll, what constitutes an offense worth taking action for and what should just be shrugged off.<br /><br />I think one of the fatal flaws of YTMND is the way I built it to be permanent. Once you delete a comment or a user or a site, it's gone for good. For that reason alone I always was afraid to give moderators any real power.

To give a more descriptive response:<br /><br />x point in time: no confrontations on YTMND<br /><br />x point later (still no confrontations), send message to Umfuld asking whether or not he plans on making any more batman sites from the original series<br /><br />Response: "didn't read", a picture of a mudkip, etc.<br /><br /><br />Yeah. Really makes me want to give Umfuld more exposure by posting about how x person tweeted his site. I'm sure it's the same case for the other "trolls".<br /><br />And finally, you're a bit vague when you say "trolls [rodheh] said should be made mods". Who are those people specifically? Ochobobo is the only one I mentioned, and I don't see it wrong that he seems like a pretty neutral and reasonable member here. I know you like to put L83 on blast for being a "troll" here, and if you think I'd want anyone like that to be a moderator then I don't know what would have given you that idea. You don't put someone who is/previously has been heavily involved with this shit in a position of power - regardless of how reasonable I think a person like him might be outside of YTMND drama. Other candidates would be people like DaveTheRave when and if he had time, which he doesn't.<br /><br />Though max answered a question regarding mods I'd been wanting a clear answer about for years now, so it's pretty much decided that there will be no mods for the dwindling community. mDS proposed an alternate thing but whatever, just seems part a lost cause and part that it would be half-assed at this point.

Two mercenary ladies with a need for destruction. The premise is not of the usual kind of shooter. But the rest is fairly common to all of us: containers with power-ups, flashing shots and a gigantic enemy army. Graphics 9/10 Vic Tokai's graphics
