American Colonists: Terrorists or Patriots
They are terrorists to me and this is similar to Skyrim's side plot, which is the Stormcloaks against the Empire. This also would be similar to the Taliban in Afghanistan fighting against the US. For Skyrim, the Stormcloaks would be the Colonists and the Empire would be the British. You could choose which side you can be on and I choose the Empire. Through out the plot, I would go around and kill all Stormcloaks deemed to be threatening to the prosperity of the Empire. In the end, we get to destroy the Stormcloak's leader and restore peace in Tamriel. Now for the Afghanistan side, the Taliban would be the Colonists

My Response To The Flood and The Innovations From It
The flood did not affect me or my family one bit. The area around my house was dry as usual. I have not volunteered, and would not like to. The flooded industrial areas and most other places were once floodplains that would carry away water, but not anymore, so this is just another example of industrialization's effect on the environment. The government also does an extremely poor job in managing the situation, giving us conflicting information mostly. One of more many rants about the government, the flood waters intended for Bangkok are kept at bay on the outskirts, swamping many poor people, and who's decision is this? Yingluck. Even though they elected her, she treats them as if they were a lesser priority than us in Bangkok. Unless the government gets tougher and has a more dedicated department that especially deals in floods, I believe that Thailand will not learn anything from this flood, and the same mistakes would happen again the next time a flood hits. But however, the innovations that resulted from the flood are very simple and effective ingenious items. The jet ski which is made out of a barrel, bike parts and a lawnmower is an example, it is easy to make, as the materials are easily found and it's useful for navigating flooded areas.
