I'm 19...

Actually he'll be just fine if he decided to rogue GOONS. That's how I got respect.

Pros: Political connections, protection, economic aid, easier to make friends in the game (Although you can do this with the OWF), makes it easier to learn the ins and outs of CN. Cons: No independence whatsoever, you are basically a tool in the hands of your alliance. You are held back by annoying regulations, and you have to do what they tell you even if it will not benefit you in any way. While joining an alliance is a good idea, it has its downfalls.

While I like the whole independence aspect, what I hate is having to make all these decisions. Nobody ever said it would be easy, but like you said I guess it will get better.

It is also taking care of your family, finding a job, buying a car, having to pay back student loans if you take the college route (which will most likely take up your entire life) etc. While high school was probably some of the worst four years of my life, it's nothing compared to what comes after it. I agree with Neo Uruk (for once), being "cool" should be the least of your worries. Unfortunately I didn't realize that until after I graduated, as most of the "cool" kids either have kids or aren't doing squat with their lives. Me, I'm at the late teens/early young adult stage of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Like I said enjoy your youth while you still have it, because after high school it's gone.

It's funny because I loved my childhood and hated high school. So hopefully I'll be one of those cool old guys who can just sit back and enjoy life.

Anybody remember when things were simpler? When there was no facebook, no cell phones, no internet. Just going outside and hanging out with your friends, then coming back inside and staying up all night to play video games? When you didn't have a worry in the world? When you didn't have to worry about what people thought about you, and you could just do what you wanted? I hate the reality of having to grow up, the reality that in a little more than eight years I'm going to have to pay bills. I remember how bad I wanted to grow up when I was a kid; now that I'm grown I realize how bad it sucks. Having to make all these complex decisions, having to be in constant worry. It sucks, plain and simple. For any younger players on here: Don't be in any hurry to grow up. Enjoy your youth while you still can, because before you know it; it's gone. You'll never get it back either.

Uh...what?

HEY YOU! YEA YOU. JOIN SOLIS, NOW :)

We have just recently built a school, and moved our capital to Nassau in the Bahamas. We are also planning a massive military and economic expansion. In the event of war, my people will be prepared to fight.

Come home to Solis :)

Hopefully, another one is coming soon.

Communism is the public ownership of the means of production, in an effort to create a classless society. Basically like you said the government owns everything: Schools, industries, etc. Which is why it is a fail policy that has never worked in any country.

Your posts suck = your criticisms of my side are accurate, and I'm now butthurt.

I tried to do this before and it crashed and burned. Good luck man.

And Africans

I admire your independence and individualism. I wasn't in an alliance for awhile and I did just fine, until I realized how boring it was. Do you my man, good luck.

I do not support Affirmative Action. I don't know if you guys saw this when you went through the thread, but it is now my signature.

Exactly, there was one guy who singled out one sentence in my post and formed his own opinion off of it. He didn't even read the first paragraph.

So I was bored and decided to have a debate with some White Supremacists on Godlike Productions. Seriously, talking to these guys is like talking to a brick wall. Read, laugh, and see for yourself: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2253713/pg1

He's actually pretty good, and he raps about serious topics. Unlike most of the rappers of today.
