Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Woke up early, had a bad dream about being on a plane.
Hit with the realization that some day soon in our lifetimes, we are going to restore/achieve self-governance.
One day we'll all just wake up and realize we don't need the TSA. It'll vanish overnight, and the conversation with our representatives will be almost perfunctory ("Did you get around to eliminating the TSA yet?"). All those stupid lines, wands, radiometers, agents... They'll be gone and we'll no longer be paying to subjugate ourselves.
The records on 9/11 will make it clear. We'll realize we killed and hated a lot of people for no reason, and trusted many who had already betrayed us.
A special counsel will be established and every month we'll see some of the worst of humanity finally brought to justice. Hopefully we learn a lesson for a while and will refuse to trade freedom for the illusion of safety.
The laws we are complaining about and fighting each other over will disappear with the remnants of artificial division & fear, with contention moving to the state level where it always belonged, and the Republic is restored.
