It's so funny how this divide is close to exactly Europe v the US. Not since Dolly Madison lead the American troops to victory in 1812 at the Battie of New Orleans...

I know I probably didn’t convince my fellow North Americans to hate BSS, but it feels that way. Like all the difficult positions I’ve nobly taken over the years and this is the ONE thing that caught on? I mean, I’m okay with that, I just think there were bigger fish to fry.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

You've taken the point on the topic, and that's appreciated. But it doesn't erase my disappointment that you backed Heston in his mad championing of WBTC.matedog wrote: ↑05 Jul 2025, 10:17pmI know I probably didn’t convince my fellow North Americans to hate BSS, but it feels that way.

There are no allegiances in this game, only temporary allies to later be stabbed in the throat.revbob wrote: ↑06 Jul 2025, 12:50pmNot to mention all that Phil Collins worship, this is a very fragile alliance.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Jul 2025, 12:26pmYou've taken the point on the topic, and that's appreciated.
