ooc: Ever seen an episode of My Super Sweet 16 on MTV? These are kids that never needed government welfare. Proper education, yes - but welfare, no. |

From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Child Welfare Act (2537) | | Message | ooc: even when I have TV (like in hotels and such) I just watch C-Span or PBS. Commercial/pop culture stuff like MTV is what I hate the most. I was willing to put up w it until I had kids, but they deserve better. |

From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Child Welfare Act (2537) | | Message | ooc: I completely agree, I like documentaries and such. MTV used to be better (but still not good) when it was a music video station, but now it's just propaganda from hollywood/new york and their godless anti-culture. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
