Gorth Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 For some reason, I can't help thinking about the beginning of the movie "Eurotrip", where they end up in a pub full of FC Liverpool fans. I wonder how much was exaggerated for effect and how much was a perfectly good stereotyping, catching the real thing “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
IndiraLightfoot Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It's pretty wet here at the moment. My neighbour floated off down the Thames yesterday. My house is still dry *crosses fingers* Now, there's a classic British understatement, if I ever saw one! How's it going, really? The images on the telly have shown horrendous flooding of a thousand homes. NKKK: Watch Stephen Fry's Planet Word episode 2.

Walsingham Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 My favourite dialect is Sheffield. I've been out with several girls from there, so it's probably just the association, but still.

Agiel Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I think this is what he had in mind: Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
