I don't know if you need a written rule.
Some of the guys here do a pretty good job of whacking the shit out of anybody who makes the mistake. There's a ready-made, enthusiastic police force.  |

I'm glad you didn't say there's been another thread on it.
I only looked back through one page of titles.
My vote is still for nanulak. It's got a good etymology and seems appropriate to the locale. |

| Just to add to what I wrote in the previous post: I frequent another discussion forum - the "Quarter Moon Saloon", a predominantly American forum - and many of the American members there staunchly maintain that they need their CCW rights and that they don't feel safe without a gun. It alwa... |

| Hmm, of all the pet peeves forums have inspired, I've never seen quoting as one of them. Not quoting, but excessive and repetitive quoting. I do, on occasion, shorten quotes, but that tends to be an inflammatory emphasis on one piece that would probably fuck over a person if he were a politician. W... |

| I didn't have the patience to watch more than just portions of the debate. Was there any mention (in specific terms) of reducing the size of the government and the size of bureaucracy in general? That's where HUGE savings in expenditures could be achieved. But in the American system (and not just in... |
