Is there anyone on this forum trying so hard to be funny yet failing so completely as Grumbler? I mean seriously hes not a stupid guy but his remarks.... they just seems to lack a certain something. Even Hansie is more talented at writing humour.

You think grumbler's posts in this thread show effort?  :huh:

More of a generalized statement. He tries so often yet fails so completely. If I cared I would call it sad.

But since you don't care about it, you just post about it repeatedly.  :)

I care.  I care about all of you.  Except for LaCroix, who I set to ignore because I couldn't be assed to memorize the habits of another one of you bastards.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You do the same.  Going all emo about a total strawman argument that "none of the leading media will acknowledge that their hype of the Arab Spring as some kind of arab hipster revolution was seriously wrong" sn't your strong suit.  Leave the bluster like that to Hans. 

Sorry to be the bearer of such bad tidings.  After a night's sleep you'll see that I am right.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

FFS, I read an editorial in the International Herald Tribune explaining why the Arab Spring finally proves that Huntington's clash of civlizations model is wrong. Now that was a :bleeding: article.

I agree with the  :bleeding:
Anyone who thought that Huntington's "model" had any legs as recently as 2011 must be really out of it.

The CoC thesis was dead on arrival and events since then have only confirmed the results of the autopsy.

I will not argue because I got bored with the book around halfway through, but the general premise holds ground, I would think.  :hmm:

It's a good thing you won't argue.  That's the least convincing argument I've ever seen.
