  1. Damn, had forgotten about that, good idea. Maybe a series on dodgy parents of presidents, including crooked bootlegger Joe Kennedy. Only trouble is most had pretty unremarkable parents.

  2. Karl Marx was a lifelong moocher, and spent most of his life either broke or not providing for his family. It does seem that a lot of these economic philosophers (if one can call them that), were rarely successful themselves, financially at least. Rand at least was against the monstrous ideologies of Marx, Lenin and Stalin, a point in her favour.

  3. That's pretty much true. Lived in Asia for years, and I must say that Western nations, for all our faults historically and now, are more accepting of migrants and foreigners generally than many of the nations that presume to call us racist. Same goes for whiny SJW types who moan about "white privilege". Now, living in Asia is fine for me, but the racism in many places is damned obvious. To my surprise, Indonesia is mostly very good, but Singapore varies, Malaysia too, India is seriously racist, as is much of China, especially the urbanised ones. I know a lot of liberal types will dump on me, but facts are facts, and are independent if their precious, hand-wringing outrage.

  4. Why the "PERIOD"? Does it mean something to Americans?

  5. Bollocks! You sound French! Or American.

  6. Not just with your contry, the same lunatic invest the legal systems of every Western country. You can get more gaol time for minor traffic offences than for serious assault too.

  7. Well those Lefties, such as the owners of this channel, still try and maintain the fiction that Communism and Fascism are polar opposites, rather than similar rivals.

  8. The key word is "manage". India is a mess, democratic in name only, for the most part.

  9. Oh, it's a new year, retire that tired meme, it is neither funny, profound or effective.

  10.  @ronfrank09  Compared with the currrent cretin, or the bombastic delusional Hillary, yes, he was wrong.

  11. Blame the American scriptwriters and editors, who get deeply confused about things, places and events where the US was not involved.

  12. It's called " English". May I suggest Americans learn some?

  13. An early case of rock stars big-noting themselves by dumping on historical figures. They really needed to lay of the drugs.

  14. Don't let that protein go to waste. Of course moern Hawiians use Spam now.

  15.  @burningphoenix6679  Hillary Clinton will have the adjoining cell.

  16. No, just pne pf them. There are definite science-fiction stories that go back to classocal times. She was one of the early modern ones, but not the first.

  17. Calm your tits, people say things differently, especially Americans: Water (Waddurr) Tomato(TomAYto), schedule(skedule) , beer (beyrr), Iraq (EYE-rack), Nikon (N-EYE-kohn) and, the most amusing is Adidas (Ay-dee-darse). There are more, but hey, if we Brits can cope with American mispronunciations, you can take one.

  18. Yeah, he's dead...well, a zombie.

  19.  @goodchessactor  Likely the script was read accurately, so look to the scriptwriters and editors.

  20. Like most other gangsters the world over.

  22. Yet starry-eyed Democrats idolise that autocratic thug, Woodrow Wilson.

  23. True but, as with noseless Egyptian sculptures/statuary and other cultures it isn't a conspiracy, as some claim.

  24. Except the modern day thugs are BLM and Antifa. Despite its name Antifa act like Brownshirts, and BLM are just a bunch of thugs.

  25. Though like many presidents, of either stripe, an abominable person. In his case he was a rude elitist, always talking down to those he considered beneath his exalted station, odd that his son is considered to be a much nicer person.

  27. Technically, real-world Cenobites are a type of monk, but the Hellraiser reference was most appropriate. I can see Trujillo as Butterball.

  28. Yeah, that's an inconsistent tradition, as presidents are often considered, in error, to start their term when elected, though they do not assume office for 2 months or so, eraly in the following year. That also undoes the 9/11 conspiracy nuts, as GWB had only been in office for 8 months, and Gore had been widely tipped to be there, and the planning for 9/11 had started during Clinton's time. There is no way GWB could have had any role in it. Now, dodgy three-letter agencies is another matter, their negligence was in part due to cute during the Clinton time and Bush Sr time.

  29.  @contrapunctusrex2499  There are some Catholics who firmly believe in total Papal Infallibility, as has the RCC at various times. The modern church, particularly post Vatican II, definitely supports your view, but, as with any organisation with a large number of followers, there are extremist outliers in the RCC, and Total Infallibility isn't even one of the more edtreme beliefs.

  30. More? There has been a lot. Boring.

  31. So, anyone who disagrees with your patently false, if predictable provocation, is a fascist? Damn I am glad every day I am not American, you forget the perversions and history of your Democrats, most recently Obama the Bomber!

  32.  @Swellington_  It bothers many, but likely not you, it seems.

  33. I assume you want them all shown as sub-saharan black? That would be inaccurste too, as they more closely resembled modern Copts. Both white and sub-saharan, usually Nubian peopled were distinctively shown with their ethnic features clearly shown.
    2
  34. True and the term has different connotations in different places and times.

  35. It's not just Americans who are grossly mis/uninformed regarding slavery, but education about slavery is better outside the US in other Western countries, though political correctness does tend to ignore the roles of non-Europeans in slavery. Still better than the typically insular American view, heavily politicised and stronglu Leftist.

  36. Good idea. This monster really slipped under the radar.

  37.  @necromora666  That says more about you. There have bern plenty of monstrous liberals/Lefties who have died, but we don't dump on them just hecause we disagree with them.

  38. You might think it was an exclusively British thing, but nepotism has infected governments and military forever. This is true, even in modern liberal democratic states. I don't think it is very effeicient, and is usually cretinous and despicable. Note that other types of states have even worse nepotism.

  39. Still better than Seokarno! That said Suharto was not great.

  40.  @fraztov  No over anyone's head, just you using a tired meme to try and be funny.

  41.  Jason Kopf  Perfectly good English. Tearing up (to elicit usually unshed tears), and tearing up (to tear something, such as paper, but not relevant here) are both correct English.

  42.  @thetruerift  I think the distinction "modern" does have currency here, as Frankenstein is of a d8stinctly different, earlier style. It's early science-fiction, but of a very different style.
    2
  43. Nope, closer to modern copts, not sub-saharan black. Blacks and whites were known and shown in Eguyptian depictions quite distinctively, and very few mummies are of blacks.

  44.  @patrickmcglonejr8163  The ideology freaks who pine for a glorious Revolution like to take credit for anything that is socialised, be it roads or education or healthcare, but the diseased ravings of Marx, Gramsci and other loonies were not behind such things.

  45. Tamerlane wasn't white. Or are Africans the only POC's?

  46. Oh yeah, two prize wankers!

  47. In reality that isn't even close, that rate isn't achievable, especially on horseback.. An arrow every few seconds is more realistic.

  48.  @daguard411  The "that wasn't/ isn't" REAL Commipunism argument " is just a post Soviet attempt to avoid connection with Marxism and rebrand the gross ideas of various Marxist "thinkers". It is also an attempt for modern extreme Lefty types to try implement the various despucable Marxist ideologies using another old Marxist idea; the long march through institutions, a manner more subtle but ultimately more successful than the outright thuggery of Lenin, Mao, the Kims, Pol Pot, Castro, Ne Win and others.

  50. My ex parents-in-law were those sorts of people, militantly standing against what they saw as moral corruption and yet immersing themselves in it. These sorts of moral police, self appointed, are fairly common.
