Welcome to Gaia! ::

Our Purpose:
The purpose of this guild is to foster an environment where Americans as well as those in other countries that share the same values, can discuss politics, policies, courses of action, the nine principles and twelve values, as well as support other members in an endeavor for a better world, by brightening our little patch of real-estate.

Why I made this guild if there's already a whole website:
Glenn Beck, popular as his TV and radio shows may be, can only reach a relatively small number of Americans, whereas Gaia Online is chock full of people from all around the world, and face it: Americans can't keep the values and principles that make America great all to ourselves, nor should we.

The Rules:

1. No flaming. The principle behind the First Amendment of the United States Constitution is to give everybody a right to voice their opinions (as ell as assemble to discuss them, petition the government to reflect them, and worship where they originate or are reflected), especially the minority. I consider trolling a form of flaming (as well as being against the Terms of Service). Other actions/posts I consider flaming incluse but are not limited to: racism, sexism (the values and principles are for all humans, none are excluded here), unfairly bashing a member because of their nationality (This is focused on America, but isn't exclusive to it), and unfairly attacking a member because of a personality trait/choice (especially maliciously).

2. The values and principles are non-negotiable and strong attacks against them will be considered flaming. You've read the nine principles and twelve values on the home page before joining, and chose to send a request.

3. This should go without saying, but the Terms of Service always apply.

4. This should also be obvious, but stay on topic.

Punishments:
Punishments range from warnings to permabanning.

Any member that believes another member has violated these rules can feel free to PM me, and I will sort it out.
