WHOA! HOLD THE PHONE!!! I think everyone here needs to CALM DOWN. No one can discuss anything reasonably with all of this anger flying in every direction.
First of all, Mr. Connery, I propose this as the new flag of Atlantis:
What's that you say? You don't like it? What's wrong with it? Is it the swastika? There's nothing wrong with a swastika... it's only a symbol used in eastern religions as a symbol of good luck... it doesn't mean anything. WRONG. You wouldn't accept this flag because the swastika was (and is) the signature insignia of the National Socialist "Nazi" Party, and it still makes people nervous and unhappy when someone uses it. Its very presence seems to mock those whose family members died in battle against Hitler's army or during the Holocaust. Just because Fuhrer means "leader" doesn't mean that's what you should call yourself (or even approve of as a nickname). For one, there are plenty of other names to choose from, many of which are decidedly more benevolent. Also, this use is insulting to everyone who was and is affected by the horrors of Nazism, even if you yourself are not a Nazi. You are promoting their ideology. The next time someone calls you "Fuhrer" Connery, imagine draping that new Atlantis flag over some graves at Colleville-sur-Mer or on a Jewish Holocaust memorial.
Secondly,
QUOTE
I'm tired to repeat that a name is just a name and that we're not going to be a nazi or fascist dictatorship, so thank you Raziel, but the government will go forward.
"The government will go forward", eh? You didn't say "Atlantis will go forward" or "the people will go forward", you said, the government. Excuse me, but a people's government can do NOTHING without the support of the people. The same people who elected you can also throw you out, bub.
And Finally, as I explained to Mr. Carbone, the government isn't free to do whatever it wants. Of all people, YOU should understand that citizens have a right to revolt and overthrow a tyrannical regime, the very same cause that you championed only months ago. Where are your cries of "power to the people" now, Carbone? And as for the "SS" crap, read my message to Connery. The same applies here.
Honestly, I must side with the President. HOWEVER, ALL of you need to shape up and stop acting like 8-year-olds. Stop all of this stupid, pointless arguing and GET SOMETHING DONE. I'm disgusted with anyone who has actively participated in this so far. You guys must do this for fun, because it seems like SOMEONE has to start a racket every few weeks over SOMETHING (though I can't see how this can possibly be fun). Mr. Connery, show some humility and respect for us "lower life forms". Mr. Pellecchia, you accomplish nothing when you rant on at the others pointlessly. And Mr. Carbone... just SHUT UP for a change. You are doing NO ONE any good and making yourself look like an idiot.
I hope someone at least glances over this and stops to think for a change.
