We have been Unit-ed, by the government.
Not Solidified, not Bonded, not anything that sounds nice, or simple in terms of togetherness. No...We are "Unit-ed". Like a shipment. Or soldiers. A Unit, we're a Unit. We should be Nationalized, Nationated, Nationafied. I don't care if the word doesn't exist.
We shouldn't call ourselves "Unit"-ed


There are probably all kinds of other words that are magically fucked up in some unnoticeable way, that has altered history.

Language is "magic".
Being able to speak out will into reality, and have that mean something, is a powerful "magical" skill that only we as humans posses. This has been important throughout history, and in all religious and magical texts. Will is even "The Secret".
But what if you had a limited, or bias vocabulary, compared to what the rest of the worlds languages contained??? And therefore a limited, and bias willpower?? But a language that was able to bend to accommodate any slang word, or new invention such as "Computer" instantly after it's invented, or even before, and without assigning gender. Welcome to America.

The name 'Assassin', from the Arabic Hashishin or "users of hashish", was originally derogatory and used by their adversaries during the Middle Ages.

The old man of the mountain was a douche, but the hashashins were bad ass.
It was basically Dark Ages "Fight club", but they loved hash :D

You are so stupid. Omg.
First off they say united because we're a UNITED BODY OF STATES. Way back in our early days states acted like little countries,under the articles of confederation, but then give them a constitution and BAM united under one name and banner, we became the united states.

no, the hashishin were actually deluded by their ruler as well

the story i heard was that initiates were given a meal laced with hash ( uknown to them ) and a bunch of pussy, and after getting high and fucked, the ruler would say his powers are what transported the person's mind into highness and provided the women, and if they devote their lives to service they will be promised this kind of life and mind altering state forever in the afterlife

We shouldn't be CALLING ourselves a UNIT though.

It doesn't matter WHY.
We just should have picked some MUCH better terms.

I know.

I've looked it up too.

They loved hash though.
And that's what I meant by "He was a douche"
He was a tricky montherfucker. An Asshole.

Whats wrong with a unit?
Either way Im pretty sure back in 1781 when they chose the United States of America, they weren't focused on the unit part of the word but the whole word, United. Not Conneticut and Virginia and New York Alliance. Not Delaware and New Jersey and Maine nationalized.
The first 13 states UNITED under the constitution

I understand that.

I just think they SHOULD have put a little thought into it.
Since words shape our world.
Knowledge is power, and now we all KNOW we're a "unit". It could have been more like a family or something.

I'm not saying it doesn't make sense.
I'm just saying its kinda scary.

Your post to me, would have been better directed at Urca's post saying that we are a "Unit" of states.
