    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The article says she made it (or, typed it) the day for the entry date. Sounds a bit lol to me.

    People believing you're an artist is the only barrier, most of which will be background and circumstance.

    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.)

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    He doesn’t come across as ok, it’s just that the interviewer seems so bad that it gives his supporters an out.

    Ohhh, I see what you mean.

    Then yeah, you were right in the first place. His supports are too busy thinking Biden is a literal Nazi anyway so a pesky interviewer is the least of it.

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