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.

It seems you are starting to learn. Not everything written here should be interpreted literally. There are many pitfalls present in our words, eagerly awaiting hapless victims for us to play with.

I'm sure but on the other hand, when dealing with someone whose flag/emblem/whatever is the eight-arrow symbol of Chaos, it is prudent to take precautions.

Like something sweet and innocent that won't replace everything you know with a yawning abyss of formless void when you the least expect it? Yeah, it could. Not very likely, but it is theoretically possible.

Doing business tends to go a lot smoother after a few pints. Mind you, I don't say that it is a perfect way of doing things.

Big cultural shift to be sure, going from Ireland's stance of if you day drink on a weekday, you're an alcoholic to France's one of just don't get drunk, yeah.

A lot simpler to keep oneself from grinding your teeth down to nubs for being in a people centric career when there's more than one type of red competing for vein time.
