Agiel Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Not here to change anyone's opinion of the overall quality of the Last Jedi, but... Edited June 27, 2018 by Agiel 4 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 Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gfted1 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Probably a case of the "telephone game" where everything becomes distorted over time and retelling of the story. Im not sure if this link is any more accurate: Orde Wingate: Eccentricity in Action. For example, that link claims the alarm clock thing was: Wingate also carried a big alarm clock with him to meetings and set it for 25 minutes. After the alarm went off, he would declare the meeting over, whether the others were done speaking or not. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 This picture was posted on a website with this accompanying question; "If you were in a public place, would you feel comfortable with him sitting ten (10) feet ...away from your children?" This is the thoughtful response from one (1) of the readers; "I would gently explain to my children that while it is his absolute right to do it, I do not approve. Then I will let them know, in no uncertain terms, that if I ever catch THEM wearing brown slacks, blue socks and black shoes, IN PUBLIC, I will slap the stupid out of them." - Texas Mom 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
