pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

I am apparently moving back to Sweden at the beginning of June, and will be available to join Team Blonde & Blue-Eyed.

I will be based near Malmköping, Sörmland. A bit of a hike from the west coast but if you're visiting Stockholm for some reason it's not too far away.

A true sign of maturity.

Could never understand how a group of such cool people have such an idiot as a friend.
Once upon a time insults and profanity merited sanctions. A lack of civility was deemed to be a reason for folks to leave. You can get personal with direct communication without splashing it all over the forums. I would urge making points with facts, logic, and reason here.

NECRO! :dead:

I looked for a zombie smilie but there wasn't one.

By the way, if you think this political platform thread is out of line, you haven't been digging very deeply; this thread is cuddles and kittens compared to some we've had. (For example, no one was baselessly accused of multiple federal felonies in this thread.)

There is nothing that has happened in the last five or six years of ALFA that could hold a candle to the stuff Duck and the other decade+ members of ALFA used to see on an almost daily basis ;)

Your signature is hilariously amusing, found where it is.
