Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

Kid’s naive, at best. He’s also a narcissist, just like his father.
Mighty lot of ego for not a lot of actual accomplishment.
Gee, there’s a lot of that running around, lately.
Omar, Obie. Obie, Omar.
Hmmmmmm…
Why is it so many losers have to take revenge by killing in the name of their god, be it Allah or money? It is a pity that social misfits and buffoons succeed in homicide so often. It is what happens when we don’t protect ourselves, and remain aware of the folly of trusting in the best of human nature without recognizing it also comes with the worst in human behavior.

Subsunk, it’s been a few centuries, but Christians used to kill in the name of God as well. They eventually grasped the fundamental paradox of killing in the name of someone who sacrificed His only son for them…
Annlee, agreed. He complained that “Saudis drive real Mercedes,” and compared himself to Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise. Nope. No ego there. Not to mention his offer to “help” the UN! On the other hand, someone’s got to help those idiots out.
My favorite bit: where he says his father “won” when the US went into Afghanistan. Yep. Daddy’s hiding in a cave, eating rats, but he won.
