This is essential reading and not just because it supports the view that Lewis' arsewiping people are a filthy bunch.

The intro was enough to dismiss him as a lazy filthy cunt.
And all of this is to find a way to cheat death
The US Department of the Treasury announced today that Vietnam has repaid all the debts to the US that the former South Vietnamese borrowed before 1975.

That social network is a bit of me. Bumble changed my life, godbless it.
It's glorious in it's transparency, isn't it? Start a Civil War in another country. Fund your favourite side at very (probably un)reasonable interest rates and watch the money pour in.
Absolute cunts. The problem is I'd be amazed if we weren't doing the same thing. We sell arms to the Saudis at the very least. Or we were until very recently and only stopped because it was deemed illegal.

The North Vietnamese started the civil war, and, as much as they have forgotten it, the Americans were on the right side. The least Vietnam can do is pay that piddling amount back if they ever want American assistance against the Chinese.
See our traveller friends got 16 years, and 13 years respectively for dragging that copper to his death. Can't help but feel it should've been a lot longer, half that and out on parole on good behaviour, they'll be back at it because they have no stake in society.
It does make you wonder what sort of manslaughter would qualify you for life ('life') if not something like that.
I reckon dropping Napalm on women and children might find the yanks very much on the wrong side of history.
Flag, troops, face, get a test.
The Viet Cong were absolute ISIS-like scummers, and the North Vietnamese weren't much better once they started winning. Compared to that lot (and their affiliates) the American involvement was positively virtuous.
I thought the French started the war because they didnt want to give up Vietnam as a colony? And the Americans sent in Military advisers in well before the Yanks officially got involved.

It ended up being temporarily partitioned when the French pulled the plug (pending theoretical reunification elections/the assumed collapse of the southern state), which was when the Americans stepped in to support the non-communist half against reality. They should have let the Australians run the actual war.
Fair enough.
That Ken Burns documentary shows the French to be proper cunts. My one and only source for that war.
Im still yet to meet a Vietnam Vet who isnt a complete broken mess of man.
Art is subjective and blah blah...but this is mental.
A woman has reportedly won Ł12,000 for a piece of art featuring thousands of forward-slash characters on an A4 piece of paper.

Nice work if you can get it.
It must be an incredible feeling. Do you think the people making shit like this actually think it's good? Or do they lol themselves silly as soon as nobody is around?
I reckon the only barriers to entry are that you have to look like an artist (Read: nause) and be able to blag a load of meaning into things.
'I had to really concentrate the entire time', she says, as if Titian was just chucking some paint on the canvas and hoping for the best.
Interesting survey which fully justifies my anti-French position:

What did Colombia do wrong?
I'm a twit
It's pretty much just 'no' to anyone that's not in the EU, isn't it?
Do Finland and Malta not get on?
Meanwhile Romania just likes everybody it seems.
I don’t get how it’s done. Does it mean the UK would help nobody or nobody would help the UK?
The UK would apparently be willing to help almost everybody (got my doubts about that) and most would be unwilling to help us (seems believeable.)
I couldn’t see any country helping any other one any more unless there was something in it for them.
What is it the Greeks are bitter about by the way, was it us saving them in the war, our 19th century occupation of the Ionian Islands, our tourists wrecking their islands?
The Elgin Marbles?
You've alot of time to be bitter when you retire at 35.

Am I just being ignorant of the business side of this or is it literally just Trump demanding money because he wants some?
I suppose you could argue that they're kind of trading in America and should be paying taxes? It all seems a bit Soviet though. Nice little role reversal.
I think it's just what he's done all his life, i.e. be a bullying, scamming bastard.
Actually the Mafia comparisons work alot better.
"That's a mighty fine app you've got there..."
What’s that interview from where he has the sheets of paper that’s doing the rounds on Twitter at the minute. I spent the first minute trying to see who was playing him because I thought it was a spoof.
It said HBO in the corner but no idea on the show.
Is it the Axios / HBO one from yesterday? If so full thing's on Youtube.
The interviewer is just bad enough that Trump probably comes across ok for most of it (once the over analytical media there rinses it) from the bits I’ve seen, not that anything would matter to his supporters anyway. He’s some fucking joker though.
Does he really come across okay? The only clip I've seen is where Trump is talking about the number of cases (did you know America has less cases than The World? Incredible, give the man the job for life) and the guy says he was asking about cases per population and a flabbergasted Trump says "You can't do that."
I may see if I can stomach the whole thing, maybe in the rest of it he comes across as intelligent.

Full interview.
Fuck. That.

Explosions are amazing. I would love to feel one. Not a deadly one, obviously; but just one that gave me a good fucking whack.
