I want to make my own country and make my own money and make my own rules but all the bigger countries won't let me because they have big armies and tell me if i try to make my own country they'l kill me.

Totally not fair! The UN should step in and let me do what i want but they dont they just help the bigger countries!

I am guessing here that you are trying to make a joke using some parallels? What?

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

It's a shame the bigger 'countries' in EVE can't all collapse like they're going to in real life because of all the printed money flooding the markets, if only inflation could happen here.

Countries are the reason why world wide econimics are in crisis. Too much national laws and differences. Just get rid of nations and set single currency. Nations are the reason why humankind is stalled and not looking towards space. We don't need nations.

Because people play MMO's so they can play Real Life?

And you could use so many RL parallels that would actually make a case in favor of those you "ridicule" you are actually not doing yourself any favors with such a parallel. Using RL parallels in EVE = Fail.

last time I said life wasn't fair my mom clocked me upside the head and said, "Your just lucky you live now and not two hundred years ago. then the only thing fair in life was that everyone had the same crappy life. now people think they are happy but are not and have to much crappy shoved up their butts to understand how crappy their lives are."

you want a fair, I hear the state fair is fun, otherwise grow a pair and go out a pursue happiness, because no one is gonna hand it to you.

First you get the army, THEN you get the country...you've got them backwards.

EDIT: Before the vernacular became the formal "fair" used to mean "pleasing to the senses" in some way. It didn't mean balanced, or even. I guess things are "fair" to you when they work out how you like. What we now call "unfair" implies some sort of cheating or imbalance. Back when English was almost elegant, you'd have said "ugly" if it wasn't "fair."

Back in the olden times "every day above ground is a good day" was literally true. Having an unmet preference and moping about it just wasn't done. It takes a leisure class to introduce "expecting things out of life." Life never owed anyone anything but still gets all the blame. With no life, you can't complain. So, is the alternative really that much better? Maybe it's better just to be satisfied with the fact you aren't dead - yet.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Actually, you did kind of get an unlucky shake, you're being beaten up by aging women for opening your mouth to speak.
