The Political Thread - Burlamaqui edition
They said it in English: "Made in Serbia". I am not upset, just spreading the word as the Western media is disinterested in any wrongdoings done by the Albanians. Had the Serbs done anything to answer this the western media would have been filled with stories withing the hour. This whole thing is simply a provocation. The Albanians sent their militia to withing 3 minutes of travel distance from the Serbian settlements in Kosovo as means to respond to any reaction from the Serbs.

Sure, but the whole comparison books <> food is false. It doesn't matter what you burn (within reason) but the intent behind it.

Because it doesn't matter what the object is, what matters is the intent behind it. Would it make you feel better to know that before this they burned Serbian churches and demolished Serbian cemeteries? https://www.b92.net/video/vesti.php?yyyy=2018&mm=11&dd=22&nav_id=1472752 When the burning is motivated by ethnicity it makes a big difference. Also in the context of what they are doing with the tariffs it paints a bigger picture.

I don't understand why you are defending it. They are burning food because it is Serbian, just as the Nazis burned Jewish books and other belongings.

They are burning food to be exact.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-22/u-k-commits-to-align-with-eu-rules-on-trade-of-goods-doc There's also a video going around with Albanians burning Serbian products, which our politicians are comparing to nazis burning books.

Kosovo’s bid to join Interpol fails, in victory for Serbia Which is funny considering all the things they did to make it happen. From passing the motion to a vote, which was against the rules, to Mary Rodriguez (American) taking over the key part of the conference, which was not her duty, where she "answered" the complaints of the members, to there being 2 votes on the same motion with a pause between them.

How they spin the BS, better to have not made a video announcement at all. Same goes for Obs.

I was expecting the video to end with them thanking the KickStarters for making this happen, followed by the "So long suckers".

^ This is a step in the right direction. They need to make the game more challenging instead of it just being a city painter.

Cinéma vérité - and all other types
I like Hellboy 2, like TrueNeutral said there were some beautiful shots in the movie and the story was ok (I mean it wasn't like the first one was a masterpiece).

I agree, the smart thing would be to use the newfound fame and release more books. But I wouldn't be surprised if he sold the translation rights for all his future works for a lump sum too.

Finished the Foundation series, not including the prequels. Great series, still not sure on the "ending". He left a hook at the end but he never wrote a sequel. Other than that a great science fiction series and I now fully understand why they call him a pioneer of that genre.
