Azdeus Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 2 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

Orogun01 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Swear to God I was watching this one a few hours before...guess I like my patriotism with some humor. Edited July 4, 2017 by Orogun01 2 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Bartimaeus Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Agiel Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) I hope mods will permit the cuss word from the Youtube link. Edited July 5, 2017 by Amentep Put cuss word behind spoiler tag; word in text on youtube link not allowed on forum 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 Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."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

LadyCrimson Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 A song to listen to while staring at the rain. A more "pop" tune that makes me toe tap to the chorus every time. ...I barely know what k-pop/k-music is, btw. I don't keep up with or even regularly listen to any music now - I just hear stuff I like in games or TV/movies and that's all I get exposed to anymore. Seems like there's always one or three tunes from every K-drama I watch that I end up liking a lot. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts

SonicMage117 Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Have I posted this before? Oh well, it deserves to be posted again! 1 Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...
