    “Why do you care what happens to America?”

    “Because I’m one of the idiots who lives in it!”

      I’m one of the idiots living in the area that will be hit by the blast when America implodes or explodes

      I’ll sooner take to the hills than flee this place. Too much blood has been spilt to give up on a better future.

      I was saying this to some buddies. Hopefully the US will erupt into full scale civil war before they take Greenland and we can stop worrying about it so much.

    I don’t think he’s Leeto II … No. He would never be that selfless, or even take an action considered selfless and improvement for anything but his freedom and bank account. Any sort of other impact would not have been considered in his decisions unless it changed his net worth or perhaps made lots of people adore him.

    For those that don’t know you have to make it to book 4 of Dune for full explanation. Though explained in book 3 by the end, you see it properly in book 4. Not for everyone with a lot of philosophy in it.

        For me, God Emperor was a great ending for Dune.

        Unfortunately there were two more books afterwards.

          Please don’t. I’m sure they’re all good books even if they’re half as good as the writing of the previous three that I’ve read so far.

    After 25 years, Mercosul and EU finally have a free commerce agreement. Lula have been meeting all EU leaders and trying to get it done, but I don’t think he would have done it without Trump fucking the EU relations with the USA.

    “What would it take for someone’s actions to be justified.” My kind of question, hopeful and reasonable rather than nonconstructive doomsaying.
