Welcome! I was awesome once! Well, that's my story, anyway.....

I've Amazoned a cat-bed, a scratching pole and a poo-bin.....all I need now is a cat!

Pathy means feeling, so apathy means he's only got err...one feeling? No idea.

I thought Palin was thick until I read this... An officer involved in policing Ferguson protests has been relieved from his patrol duties after video footage emerged of him describing black people as “little perverts” and Barack Obama as “that illegal alien claiming to be president”. Officer Dan Page of the St. Louis County Police Department has been placed in an administrative position pending an internal investigation after video of a speech he gave attacking Muslims, gay people and black people in April was posted on YouTube. In the hour-long ramble, the US military veteran is seen addressing a St. Louis chapter of the Oath Keepers, a conservative group of former servicemen, where he also boasted of previous killings. He told the audience: “I'm also a killer. I've killed a lot, and if I need to I'll kill a whole bunch more. If you don't want to get killed, don't show up in front of me. “I’m into diversity – I kill everybody”. Page is the same officer who pushed and threatened to arrest CNN journalist Don Lemon while he was reporting live from protests in Ferguson over the shooting of teenager Michael Brown. His speech quotes the declaration of independence’s statement that “all men are created equal”. He says: “That does not mean affirmative action. It means we’re all equal … God does not respect persons so we have no business passing hate crime laws. None. Because we're setting aside a group of people special." Holding a copy of the Bible, he tells the audience: “This here is the foundation for this [the declaration of independence]. You can’t separate them. I don’t know what them black little perverts don’t understand down there, but they need me to talk to them. I’ll square them away for you.” Page also made disparaging remarks about Muslims, claiming “they will kill you” and expressed the view that the United States was on the verge of collapse. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar has apologised for the officer's “bizarre” remarks. In a statement, he said that while Page "has never been involved in an officer-involved shooting, the statements made about killing are unacceptable and not what we are about as a department". Two days earlier, another St. Louis-area policeman, an officer from the town of St. Ann, was suspended indefinitely for pointing a semi-automatic assault rifle at a peaceful demonstrator and yelling obscenities. The President of the Oath Keepers’ St Louis chapter told CNN Page was a guest speaker and not an affiliated member of the group. The organisation said: "The statements made by Sargent Major Dan Page do not reflect the opinions of our local Oath Keeper Chapter, nor the national organization. "Dan Page, speaking to the St. Louis/St. Charles, Missouri Chapter of Oath Keepers, explains how they plan to end American sovereignty and the Constitution, establishing martial law and merging the U.S. with the New World Order."

As well as the Nazi swastika flag being banned in NationStates, I think Max should also consider banning the black flag of the Islamic State (ISIS); these perverted and evil guttersnipes deserve no quarter.

If you want a "serious" map for role-play, give me a rough sketch of what you want and I'll prepare one for you.

Very well presented and a good read - I appreciate the time and effort you have put into this regional newspaper.

Hello Gloubi-Boulga, and welcome to TWP!

Perhaps somebody should start a "Write Your Own Silly West Pacific Law", thread. We could choose the silliest ones and make them law!

Some Mods I wouldn't employ to clean the company urinals - or rather I would! (Don't mind me, I'm just being retro.)

The new Doctor hails from Glasgow, so be prepared for some head-butting, flying objects and friendly banter embellished with the liberal use of the "f" word!

Hello NP! I hope all is well with you.

Some in-play deviosity...

I agree with PD, a much better idea. Punkdaddy, hi!

Why not?

We're glad to hear it! In future (and I'm shocked I have to say this to a Welshman) you must clean and prepare your leeks properly before making leek soup. It's quite obvious to me that you've just recovered from food poisoning, quite possibly caused by cow manure mixed with - I regret to inform you - marsupial poo! Don't feel too bad about it, because things happen.

I'm old enough to be your dad, Westy - and yes, you are getting old!

It's good to hear about nice things happening.

Please excuse me if I enjoy the repartee....it harks back to the good old days!

Welcome to TWP!

Well, BBD did warn them!

You wait 'til I tell Darkesia what you're doing to chocolate!
