Hello.

I am Dayve.

[Daruko]

Hello Dave. What brings you to the CoG? Where r yuo from?

[Tsar Phalanxia]

Sup?

Why does your name have a "Y" in it?

The opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics, some serious, most not, with what seem like interesting people to discuss those topics with, is what brings me here. Plus there seems to be a very high number of Atheists here, so I'll fit right in. I'm from England.

My name has a Y in it because when i first started using the internet 8 years ago the first thing i did was sign up to Yahoo so i could play Yahoo pool, which i enjoyed at the time. I tried to sign up using the name "Dave", which was obviously taken as hundreds of millions of people use it, and i didn't want to put numbers after Dave so i added a Y.

As good a reason as any Dayve - welcome mate.

EDIT: OH bugger, forgot again. A few English on here - where abouts?

[Daruko]

Makes sense. Glad to have ya on board.

Also because i got banned from eBaumsworld, which i did on purpose.

After 3 years of using a debate forum like eBaumsworld, with the nastiest, most vile and despicable human beings on the planet that generally post there, i was becoming more and more depressed by the day just reading the type of things they said.

I was thinking about putting eBaumsworld in that thread where people post things that made you lose faith in humanity.

As for whereabouts in England, i have the grave misfortune of living smack bang in the middle of Manchester and Liverpool, two of the most disgusting cities in the civilized world.

Oh dear - talk to Phal, he can sympathise

When i complain about living where i do, people ask me... Why not just move if it's that bad?

If i go to Manchester, i'm in danger of having my head caved in because some interpret my accent as scouse. If i go to Liverpool, i'm in danger of having my head caved in because some interpret my accent as that of Manchester (Machurian?).

I go south past the divide i get my head caved in for being from the north. I go to Scotland i get my head caved in for being English. I go to Wales and they won't give me directions because 500 years or so ago the king who ran the country i was born in ordered his soldiers to do some bad shit to Wales, so for some reason they think i need to be punished for it.

Where would i go?

Excellent. You're exactly the kind of person who'd fit in here.

Ah. I can totally sympathise with you on the number thing.

Ireland?

Oh wait, they hate you too. Shit.

Note I said "You", seeing as how I was born in Belfast However, I don't have an accent whatsoever.

Move to Sweden. And don't forget to vote for Piratpartiet. With the stupid new FRA law I'm at risk of getting arrested for filesharing. If I can just figure out a way to get uTorrent to work through a proxy...

Bwahaha...Oh that's rough. And only a few weeks ago, it was really liberal in it's copyright laws...
