    Mine were, "Hello, sir? Hi, have you been shopping recently? My firm has recently recieved some information that you were interested in buying some real estate, and I work with a brokerage company. We've been negotiating with some land-owners in Florida and we've finally gotten ahold of the property - it's swampland, so we're selling it cheap, but with plans to irrigate and make the land farmable for oranges. It's a gaurenteed return on your investment, up to 500%, within 5 months. I can't promise we'll have this offer for a while, we already are recieving interest in this from numerous other parties. I'm going to transfer you to Shirley, my secretary, and she's going to get some cursory information from you. Don't worry, she's not going to get your credit information, we just want to mail you a small packet with some more information. Excellent." CLICK.

    From what I know Coldreaper was a female Canadian Catholic who once lived in Vietnam and had to endure the anti-communist rantings of some Vietnamese woman.

    I mean if Coldreaper told a radically different story to everyone she/he met then I'd see your point.

    I don't know about that Catholic part, but she was a female Canadian who lived in Veitnam at one point.

    I only remember because we used to talk on AIM a lot.

    An Albertan Communist I know said this once:
    The only anglo Canadians that you could make the argument for nation status are the people of Newfoundland. They do inhabit a specific territory (although there has been a diaspora because of the loss of fishing jobs and collapse of the economy), they have a specific regional dialect that includes words not found in the general Canadian vernacular (possibly rooted in old Celtic), they have a distinct culture and traditions, and they were even a seperate country up until 1947.

    In Canada, they are known colloquially as "Newfies", they generally perform menial labour across the country (we have several on the oil rigs), and they are the subjects of intense national chauvenism, specifically wide spread mockery of their regional accent and bitterness that now former Newfie fishermen are recieving government aid on a large scale. Even the smallest trace of Newfie tongue in a persyns speech brings laughter from other anglo-Canadians...

    You could perhaps make an argument that Hutterites on the prairies qualify for nation status as well. They have territories which they are centered in, they have a distinct culture and language (they still speak German for the most part), they have a distinct economy ( they live communally, and they still use many forms of barter among themselves and others), and they ar emore ethnically homogenous than any other group in Canada most likely (to the point of inbreeding)...

    As usual, they face national chauvenism from Society at large, being characterized as un-scrupulous thieves and Alcoholics, and when they do venture off of their colonies, they end up work low paying menial jobs for anglo-Canadians.

    I miss the file forums, they were pretty reliable and tons of people had stuff so it could be easily requested.

    I remember reading on SA how it was basically a knock off only for children, but the attitude was a lot less laid back and people were generally more accepting than SA. But every once in a while flames would spill over to GD or CD and vice versa. Overall a very positive experience when talking about forums.

    I'm not sure if this has been posted or suggested, but LWS forums are available to viewing with the wayback machine.

    HOLY FUCK. That story was written by me...
