Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community

Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

Do not put a question mark where God put an exclamation point. Posts: 703 Group: Resident Member #99 Joined: September 3, 2005	Only thing more fun than punishing commies! I like the "Origin of Species" beatdown voted for all of 'em though.

Perhaps I should say almost every intellectual argument. Or any argument that a theist actually includes aspects of faith. Otherwise the theist is indistinguishable from the atheist. It also appears the ego of Joe Bobs is indistinguishable with that of U-Ropa. golgoroth. if you want to insult me, i lay down this challenge: i will beat you in any arguement, on any subject relating to social sciences or religions, in public, on these boards. if i lose, i will cease posting, if you lose, you will do the same. do you have the testicles? Heh. I'd be willing to debate U-ropa for the heck of it. go on then... same rules apply and Joe Bobs and Love and Honour arbitrate.

Unregistered	Arov Apr 28 2006, 12:14 PM What do you want to argue about? such a gentleman... i suppose you did challenge me, so i can choose the debate area... well, i wish to debate the proliferation of post-cold war paradigms, specifically, the environment from which they arose and for/against arguements of global contextualisation. savvy? and the loser, if we are to abide by the rules agreed upon, will cease posting on this forum.

However, I agree to stop posting for three weeks, if that's alright. Also, since you chose the subject, you present your case first. I love arguing over complicated things!

However, I agree to stop posting for three weeks, if that's alright. ahh... so not much of a gentleman then. i am aware that i cannot force you, however, when a gentleman loses a wager, he falls on his sword with dignity. and three weeks is not sufficient, i require more of an incentive if i am to invest the time in formulating the winning arguement. i will accept two months, no less.

Unregistered	oh and just to give you a little helping hand, i recommend picking up this little number: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/033391376...glance&n=283155 as otherwise, you will, and i apologise for the vernacular, be stuffed.

Unregistered	to answer the start date question: i do presume, and i may be wrong, but you don't study for a degree on IR, hence it will be a little one-sided and you won't have a clue what your discussing. ergo, have a week to enlighten your mind with the pleasures that is Fukuyama, Huntington et al so as to equip you with some teeth. also, which side would you like to argue?

I don't care what side I argue. I'll let you start and I'll respond. I'd like to argue against Fukuyama, though. --------------------------------------------------------- What university do you go to, U-ropa?

Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law Posts: 2,351 Group: Resident Member #156 Joined: November 22, 2005	Thanks for clearing that up for me. I wasn't sure whether you meant specific paradigms or paradigm-based global contextualization. The way you worded it sounded like we were going to argue over both (that would have been a very long debate). How are you going to explain paradigm-based global contextualization to L&H and Joe Bobs so they can moderate the argument? By the way, I'll argue against. ----------------------- Queen's College, Oxford....how the f*** do you get the time to post on here!??

I didn't think they would have that much leisure time at Oxford (let alone any at all; American colleges have almost no leisure time, unless you decide to stay up all night getting drunk). How long have you been going there?
