The odd thing about the "Rape of the sabine women", was that anyone bothered to paint such a thing. The spoils of war were whatever the victors wanted them to be.
Bravo, Mr Banzai, for your noble art on this ... and a wonderful partner you have in BlumaBerlin ...
This is all a very great tragedy, in what had been an increasingly wonderful Europe
For all of Europe's faults (now growing grotesquely with these depositor thefts, and the sadistic mauling of the populations of the Mediterranean countries, for this dysfunctional disastrous euro)
There is yet the fact that Europe in many ways was (and partly still is), the greatest paradise that ever existed in human history ... and it seems the EU leaders are hell-bent on ruining what we had achieved here.
A place with no death penalty, where it is very hard to go to jail, or get mauled by lawyers and courts, where people and family assets were all safe ... And in many of our countries, basically the whole of North-West Continental Europe, we essentially eliminated poverty for every single legal resident, with health care for everyone, a life free from un-natural fear of any kind.
It is still true that we Europeans are much less terrorised and harassed by the legal system, lawyers and courts, than Americans. it is quite difficult to go to jail in Europe, you mostly actually have to do something evil. Almost no one is in jail in Europe, compared to the USA ... 1 out of 1000 Europeans in jail, 1 out of 140 Americans in jail.
There is nothing here like the brutal USA legal system ... the 30-year prison sentences for trivia, almost no one getting a trial, 2.3 million people in American jails, totally innocent people in US jails likely in the hundreds of thousands, US lawyers raping and stealing everything in divorce cases or bogus lawsuits. That is all strange to us.
We have kept much more of 'democracy', not just more diverse political parties, but the real pressure of people in the streets, the general strike, the borderline-riot to bring down governments.
Europe however continued to soil and dirty itself by its continued overall support for Nato and the US war machine ... and now the EU is starting to maul and ruin and destroy and enslave the lives of EU common people, firstly in the Mediterranean countries, but many of us northern people already in anguish just to see the EU - Troika be so brutal to fellow Europeans.
It has been a beautiful life here these last few decades ... indeed we largely had built the 'kinder, gentler' world voiced in that famous phrase of one of the lying hypocrite US Presidents. We had that better world, here.
It is sad to see the EU ruining not just the euro currency, not just the EU reputation, but now menacing the Enlightenment quality of European civilisation ... a beautiful candle that glowed increasingly strongly for a while. Now it seems that evil winds threaten to put out that beautiful European flame.
Immensely tragic. Much of your art, WB7, is a fitting real-time record of these events.
Yeah, you just had to have two world wars to get to your bullshit 'paradise' and you're headed straight for a third one now. Kind of makes you wonder if you did anything unsustainable to get there?
As far as the US being some kind of brutal prison, I think you're over-stating the case. It's not the white people who are filling up the jails. Almost nobody going through the US legal system is "innocent." I'm not sure what you have heard.
Most of what you say is true, and on the whole I prefer European tolerance and diversity to American busybodies. European women have not become the irrational monsters one sees on every college campus or in every urban slum.
But... eurosocialism also destroyed innovation. Until and during the second WW, greater Germany was half of civilization. So much of science, art, medicine, and engineering was invented or co-invented there, that scientists, scholars, and historians thought it crucial to learn German, and then become educated. That is gone with the wind.
was just thinking of that, how tiny Cyprus is a trivial moment in the global banking system or North Korea bombast (pardon the pun) is a bit of a mock epic drama about WW3. but the trivial has more influence than the profound (the unified field hypothesis or how a butterfly in the central american jungle can create a hurricane by flapping his wings)
So baby, was it just as good for you?

Next item on the template: A degrading of insured amounts on deposits in banks. Why? Because they can.
Why bother explaining. They will just do it when the time comes.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong or honoring a promise. It is simply preservation of the fractional reserve edifice they are concerned with.
Aka 'all your deposits are belong to us' principle.
Comparing Putin to the rest of guys around him,
Vladimir is the only one with healthy, normal reaction
He likes her breast.

"Putin said he "liked" what he saw and that the attention given to the protest had actually helped promote the trade fair."

Popeye has been eating his greens.
and doting his I's
Putin looks like a cross between Gene Simmons and Marty Feldman.
Is her phone number printed in front?
The odd thing about the "Rape of the sabine women", was that anyone bothered to paint such a thing. The spoils of war were whatever the victors wanted them to be.
Back to the future.
We're "civilized" now, so that can't happen again...
