Since I'm civilized to the max, I totally agree with that statement. A fair amount of free time in the agenda for that day and liberal amounts of lube are also of importance.

I have all those. Damn, it feels good to be continental.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

The salad is there to convey the dressing and the side sauce. The main is a very gamey meat. Delicious, but rather dry without the salad.

to promote technological advancement and scientific achievement for the happiness, knowledge and welfare of all humans;

Tom is great. But it's the proper application that makes genius.

There are many rules in the English language.

First, you do not talk about the English language.

Second, you do NOT talk about the English language.

Third, if it's your first language, you must speak it.
