@FrenlyOfficer My wife & I recently made the difficult choice to terminate our 39yo neighbor because he was Haitian. We actually did make the choice lightly (we were drunk), but it's important that we preserve the right for couples to make these difficult, intensely personal decisions.
The most famous Schleswig-Holstein banger of all time comes from Lord Palmerston, the dominant player in British foreign policy from 1830-1865:

Boris Johnson was a disaster as PM, but he tested two economic theories to destruction, that you can print money and it won't cause inflation, and that high immigration is always good for gdp. He proved both wrong. That is his gift to the nation.
Hitler himself said this in a letter to Wagner’s son:

@SandyofCthulhu 2) Realism in cinema is really tricky thing. First of all, realism initially meant that there are real world of platonic ideas as opposed to nomenalism view that universals are just way of thinking about the world. So, realism meant the opposite of what we think it means now
@SandyofCthulhu But in expressionism there is nothing but evil. Sight of camera is what creates it, so you can't explore what evil is, when it's literally everywhere. First predecessors of horror were Lone Chayne's silent movies, but they are as they are because of his appearance
I am still haunted by René Char, who seriously decided to abandon everything, and everyone to become a poet because of a single line from Dante, “Remember, this day will never dawn again.”
They should make a version of The Odyssey, only it’s set in Dublin, Ireland in 1904 and Odysseus is a Jewish man whose wife is having an affair and Telemachus is an aspiring author who gets into fights in pubs and wanders the strand brooding on his mother’s death.
