Through the better (worst) part of the second half of the 20th century, Europe and the world was divided by an Iron Curtain. But on wonderful 9/11, November 9th 1989, the Berlin wall came down, uniting West and East Berlin, and thousands were saved from the evil tyranny of communism.
As so many others have been giving tribute to 9/11 lately, I decided that I should as well, because I am no exception to those who believe that 9/11 was an important date in U.S. history.
May we continue to be free from the threat of nuclear missles from communists, and may the capitalization of a great part of the world lead to new opportunities for a flat, information-based global economy.
9/11, November 9th, "Freedom Day" in The United States, a momentous day of celebration. Only a couple of months away until this year's 9/11. Woo 9/11!!!!

right, the phrase 'the winner is decided purely by D-prime' sounds like you're deciding it ADD style. I'll scrap the D-prime tribute post I was preparing then.

Let me explain. What the article means is that I am the final arbitor of all disputes, that I am the sole administrator of the tournament, and that I set up the format so... indirectly, the champion is based on MY word. Get it? I'll clarify the article.

you've confused me, that says that who wins is purely your choice...so, is that right or does it depend on ratings?

That is up-to-date, however, I don't know what your following question has to do with anything.

You're famous. Is that accurate? Or is the winner purely on ratings now?

+2 for the deadbeat commies who stormed the west for handouts, -2 to the west for giving the deadbeats free handouts

Ha ha. I get it.
Europeans say 9/11 as 11/9, and 11/9 as 9/11.
Friggin commies.

No mention of Reagan?
To be honest the wall falling probably hurt America. Europe was no longer that worried about communism so they didn't "need" America anymore.

I'm very surprised that I got so many +2s from a quaint little post about the fall of the Berlin Wall written in September!

Fun fact: This was not merely to get people's attention via September 11th (and making a joke about it,) but was a shot of optimism to go against all the cynical 9/11 posts.

Thanks coley. I wish I could +2 your post as a reward, but that would... destroy the point.
The above +2 is for you and your character.

Good to see that HTBD rates the post and not the poster. I wonder why it's showing off that it's making a spite -2 in responce to my -2 on the post of his that I didn't like?
Seeing as a rating is just a number on a screen until I think about what it means, and it means nothing to me except the honest judgement of those who may appreciate it, I still have a +2 in every important way.
