Long Live The United States of America


The first empire whose sole aims are to promote stability, peace, freedom and democracy. So I praise it.

The world would be a much worse place without it and its power.

At this time, I'm still wondering if it will be mostly be used by anti-Americans, or by pro-Americans.
I'm also wondering when Ming will close it

Sole aims? These aren't even its primary aim. That would be to protect and increase the property of its citizens. Read quote below.

Do you wish to imply, that it's illegal to eat babies? Now that is bold!

And yes, long live the United States of America! They have the smartest president and the best beer of the world. And they never eat babies! They only bomb them, that's a difference!

Sir Ralph, it depends.. if the baby is not with parents, it's pretty much free lunch. We consider babies to be from 0 years of age to 9 years old. Also if they don't have ID with them, then it's legal. There is a new law coming though, that you can't snatch a baby from his/her home front yard..

Also you have to know the rules of the game. If baby looks at you, straight to your eyes.. its yours. You have become the legal owner of it and you can do what ever you want to do with it.. there's pretty much nothing you can do about it, since the baby did state his/her wishes to become your baby. It's like pimping.

There's no sarcasm here. It is an outrage that there people actually protesting against our governments actions when those very actions are in our self interest.

well, you have the wrong mindset here. Baby is not useful... it can't speak, tell any good stories, follow tv, do sports, play computers, fight.. they just eat and scream and make a mess. So they can not be considered as humans (yet), so they are considered as property. And if property walks to you, it's pretty much yours. Finders keepers.

Richileu, I don't think you can sell it.. but just dump it into some supermarket.. don't put any IDs or anything, and don't answer 'missing baby' calls.

Caligastia, We respect our eldery people, we're not sick people!

Some people question our laws and culture, but this dates back hundreds of years ago when dragons stole babies all the time, so it's in our culture.. You can't understand it if you're not here, so you can't really blame us either.

Oh and the eating part dates back to 1950 - post war times. There was not much food around, and families gathered and voted who gets to serve others as food. Naturally the babies didn't know how to vote or speak, so they got eaten.
