It is obvious that a few mentally ill hysterics will not stop flooding this community with hate. The smarter of us have long ago figured out the simple recipe for control. In fact, the infamous Athenian democracy more than 2000 years ago solved the problem: Only DEMOS has the right to vote! Demos are only those who have property - landowners, merchants, craftsmen. The unemployed, politicians, soldiers, the mentally ill and all other landless people on handouts are NOT demos!

Dumb. I was born on January 1, 1970 as that is the date it shows on my avatar. And land is free. It costs me 1% of the CPU CPU on a I7 Intel NUC to run 127 regions at 14 cents/kw hour which is 1% of $12.42 ( according to my UPS) or or 12 cents a month.

I agree with you on the hysterics, but maybe creating an elitist class system where only X gets a vote is not the best answer. it certainly did not end well for the Greeks.

By all accounts, disgust with the gang of pseudo moralists and ex-communist fake democrats seems to have finally liquidated the OSW community.
Only a dozen real users?
Maybe it's time for me to get out of here too. There's no point in arguing with the dozen or so hardened haters and the few mentally ill...

Sorry Pagane, but your choice of words is exactly what haters and mentally ill people use. How are you different from them?

and remember, that 75+ is just less than half of the people actually here and scrolling through the pages. Their are almost three times that, OSW just likes to pretend they do not exist. So technically, many of the largest grid owners with accounts here, would not have a vote.

Dorena Well, I know that you have lies as a second source of income in your life; otherwise you wouldn't get so much welfare money... you don't need to mention that here.

Hello Susanna-darling, I never wanted to retire*lol
This bickering about the German parties, which were all the rage at the time, yeah, that was too much, I didn't want to have anything to do with that anymore. And hardly anyone here will have been online for as long as I have with their own grid, why should I give that up? My priorities have just changed a bit..

I cannot vote or I will say I cannot vote (Like women with ancients Athenian ;-) but I see the point!

Nope, women were not allowed to vote in most of ancient Greece, including in Athens. Nor could they own land on their own. Aristotle claimed women were incapable of making important decisions themselves. Athenian woman had little opportunity in economic and legal life, including politics. The big exception was Sparta. That was a whole different show. Women could not only vote and hold office and go to court, but held immense power all of their own.

To add more detail to your excellent comment...
The disadvantage of being female in ancient Athena began at birth. The Athenians would, at times, kill their kids. “Historians believe that girls were at a higher risk of infanticide because of their gender, as most families preferred to have at least one healthy boy who could inherit their lands and fortune”.
So, that sucks.
Girls “did not receive any formal education because it was focused exclusively on boys. Boys were educated to play a role in the political and military life of the city-state of Athens. Due to this, the education of girls and women was seen as useless.”
But girls did learn how to cook, clean, and sew! So, that’s something. The thing is that “...the role of women was to marry and have children. Ensuring that the family continues on was the parents’ main concern, especially fathers, as they would not want the family fortune to disappear. To secure their legacy, fourteen-year-old girls would be married to older men usually chosen by their fathers or another male relative. Thus, girls would not choose their husbands nor have any influence over the matter”.

But they could vote, right? Wrong. The fact is that, in Athens. women had no independent existence in the eyes of the law, leading Plato to propose that women should be given the same education as men, the same access to the law courts, the same rights to own and inherit property, to hold public office, to compete in athletics and to live and work as equals to men.
Didn’t happen.

(I thought no women could vote in the early Athenian democracy, that's fine if they could own property and vote :)

Sorry Pagane, but what you are saying and demanding is not one bit friendlier and more peaceful than the writing of certain other people here...
