Globalization is the inter-dependence of nations on one anothers' goods, resulting in a global economy. One may argue that such has occurred since civilization began, with the thing we know as commerce, but that is more wrong than right.
There are perks of globalization, such as:
- The ability to travel internationally easier.
- A wide variety of goods, differing in quality and price dramatically.
- Forced peace between inter-dependent nations, which results in less war.
- More universal measurement, arithmetic, and language, making it easier for people to communicate internationally.
Of course, globalization has serious draw-backs, too:
- If one economy declines, the rest do, too. This is much like a farmer using one variant of one crop, which will result in the destruction of most of his crop, if a bad disease hits.
- If a universal currency is not used, some, smaller nations will have disadvantages in trade.
- If one nation so chooses to withdraw from the global economy, the entire thing could collapse.
- Those countries that offer less valuable products than others will get fucked over.
- The richer nations profit more than the smaller ones.

German for "superior," "super," "over," "above," and "beyond," among other things. As with many German words, the context dictates the proper denotation.
Without the diaresis above the "u," the word must be written as "ueber," otherwise it is improper. "Uber" is no such word; it doesn't exist.

1. A container, which holds ammunition. Unlike a clip, they can be freely removed from the weapon, without ejecting the clip altogether, if such a procedure is able to be executed at all.
Often times, they are confused with "clips." A "clip" is an exposed container of ammunition, always in the form of a stripper clip for rifles and semi-automatic handguns, or a speed-loading clip for revolvers. Saying "clip," rather than "magazine," instantly qualifies you as an ignoramous. Don't do it.
2. A soft, paper booklet, which is sized in standard paper, commonly. Most magazines concern the mundane, such as homes, cars, jewelry, or celebrities. If you read the latter, you are a doucher who is to be exterminated, via firing squad.

1. Call it a clip again, you son of a bitch, and I'll bash your fucking head in with this here magazine, until the trauma has rendered you in a comatose, if not dead, and the rounds have all discharged into your ear, or are on the ground.
2. Playboy and Penthouse are such splendid magazines, though I too like PCGamer US.

Eugenics are the practice of isolating negative genes, and preserving positive ones, whether through natural or social selection. Several attempts have been made, throughout history, to do such, with human intervention - all were short-lived, but none succeeded. Such methods toward eugenics are: genocide, bioengineering or genetic manipulation, and selective breeding.
Through natural selection, random or adaptive mutations occur. If positive, in theory, the traits should prosper. If negative, or not beneficial, however, they should fade away, if the family possessing these genes doesn't die away before then.
With human intervention, this is accelerated - the isolation of carriers of certain DNA can be achieved without blood shed, simply if no other group interbreeds, or if such a group discontinues populating. However, more macabre means can be undertaken to reach this, such as genocide. Still, yet, there are further, and possibly more promising methods, such as genetic manipulation, for carriers of such a trait could be "cured," rather than phased out, or exterminated, altogether.
Examples in history, involving humans, include: murder, en mass, of American Indians; the Holocaust (1933 - 1945); the Balkans ethnic cleansing (Bosnia, Kosovo, primarilly); Rwanda; Sudan; etc.

Ahh, eugenics - something that hasn't happened for quite a while. However, I feel it should. This could, quite possibly, benefit the human race, for without dumbshits, we should prosper much longer. Unfortunately, though, it seems the degenerates breed more, and faster, than do the good ones among humanity. 'Tis a shame, truly. Have no misconceptions, however, as I don't wish for races to be exterminated, but rather, unfavorable genes removed.

The most wasteful, liberal, unnecessary parliamentry organization in the world. Though in theory, the UN would be a good one, it isn't, in reality. They are weak, corrupt, among other things. The reason for this, of course, is that it isn't a sovereign, governing body, but rather, a "parliament," of sorts, for all nations. The more powerful a nation, the more say they have. This is fucked up.
Their aims/complicities (as they are synonymous with the UN) include: stripping citizens of free, modernized countries of their right to bear arms, namely the USA; fucking up order; avoiding use of the word "genocide," especially when dealing with African "countries" which are having their occupants killed at rates of 10,000 PEOPLE PER FUCKING DAY; creating programs, which have a face value of benefiting people, but contarily, in reality, generate profit for Kofi Annon and his cronies; trying to police Americans; taking upon themselves (in rare instances), to employ ineffective, inane peacekeeping, which does nothing beside getting more people killed.

1. A Korn song; the acronym means: "All Day I Dream About Sex." It is, obviously, a sex song.
2. A brand of apparel, created by Adolf Dassler, obviously. It is not "gangster" clothing, you fucking shitheads, as it was created by a German. It does NOT mean, "All Day I Dream About Sports" or "... Shoes"

1. Honestly, somehow it always seems that I'm dreaming of
something I can never be.
It dosen't bother me, 'cause I will always be that pimp I see
in all of my fantasies.

Yep, ADIDAS is that cool.
2. You stupid "thugs," remove your heads from your asses and realize you're a bunch of retarded ignoramouses, and stop claiming everything you wear is "gangster." While you're at it, come out of the closet.

1. A generally over-used brand of humor, which is oft stupid, or uncreative. However, more intelligent cock jokes do exist.
2. Something one says generally randomly. This was brought on by a Flash on Newgrounds, called Tankmen 5.5, by Stamper.
