You call that a nightmare scenario?

My mother was over in Ireland today visiting relatives when she met a Hungarian fellow in a fish and chip shop, serving her and all that. She spoke to him briefly, he just wanted to talk to someone and basically told her his life story. When she asked "what brought you to Ireland?" he somehow started talking about how Jews rule Europe, the US Army and also a lot of Hungary. He went on an enormous rant talking about an entire Jewish district somewhere in Budapest that had been created specifically for them or something and complained that where once there had been swastikas in Berlin, now there was only the star of David. I think he moved to Ireland specifically to escape from Jews.

My mother was so bewildered and confused at this cacophony of anti-semitism that she did not know what to do, all she wanted was vinegar on her chips. She managed to escape with the meal unscathed.

I'm astounded by the number of Eastern Europeans who have expressed the belief that their governments are essentially vassal states of the CIA.

Well it certainly gets points for originality; Usually it's the New York Jewish Bankers.

The Vatican has their own bank don't they? The plot thickens.

During a discussion about why shows like "Young Justice" get cancelled...

DINI: “They’re all for boys ’we do not want the girls’, I mean, I’ve heard executives say this, you know, not Ryan(?) but at other places, saying like, ‘We do not want girls watching this show.”

SMITH: “WHY? That’s 51% of the population.”

DINI: “They. Do. Not. Buy. Toys. The girls buy different toys. The girls may watch the show—”

SMITH: “So you can sell them T-shirts if they don’t—A: I disagree, I think girls buy toys as well, I mean not as many as f***ing boys do, but, B: sell them something else, man! Don’t be lazy and be like, ‘well I can’t sell a girl a toy.’ Sell ‘em a T-shirt, man, sell them f***ing umbrella with the f***ing character on it, something like that. But if it’s not a toy, there’s something else you could sell ‘em! Like, just because you can’t figure out your job, don’t kill chances of, like, something that’s gonna reach an audi—that’s just so self-defeating, when people go, like… these are the same fuckers who go, like, ‘Oh, girls don’t read comics, girls aren’t into comics.’ It’s all self-fulfilling prophecies. They just make it that way, by going like, ‘I can’t sell ‘em a toy, what’s the point?’

DINI: “That’s the thing, you know I hate being Mr. Sour Grapes here, but I’ll just lay it on the line: that’s the thing that got us cancelled on Tower Prep, honest-to-God was, like, ‘we need boys, but we need girls right there, right one step behind the boys’—this is the network talking—’one step behind the boys, not as smart as the boys, not as interesting as the boys, but right there.’ And then we began writing stories that got into the two girls’ back stories, and they were really interesting. And suddenly we had families and girls watching, and girls really became a big part of our audience, in sort of like they picked up that Harry Potter type of serialized way, which is what The Batman and [indistinct]’s really gonna kill. But, the Cartoon Network was saying, ‘F***, no, we want the boys’ action, it’s boys’ action, this goofy boy humor we’ve gotta get that in there. And we can’t—’ and I’d say, but look at the numbers, we’ve got parents watching, with the families, and then when you break it down—’Yeah, but the—so many—we’ve got too many girls. We need more boys.’”

SMITH: “That’s heart-breaking.”

DINI: “And then that’s why they cancelled us, and they put on a show called Level Up, which is, you know, goofy nerds fighting CG monsters. It’s like, ‘We don’t want the girls because the girls won’t buy toys.’ We had a whole… we had a whole, a merchandise line for Tower Prep that they s***canned before it ever got off the launching pad, because it’s like, ‘Boys, boys, boys. Boys buy the little spinny tops, they but the action figures, girls buy princesses, we’re not selling princesses.’”

You'd think it was still 1986 after reading that.

To be fair, the CIA probably did the best they could.

It's not their fault everyone makes them out to be super-competent at doing it.

[Loud Whispers]

Bless the Brits that fought the Nazis and fight them to this day. Absolute madness.

[Helgoland]

True dat. True heroes, all of them. *pours out some beer in remembrance of the fallen*
*does not actually pour out beer, because that would be a sin against being German*
*still remembers all the brave soldiers from the Great War*

And I the only one who thinks that first kid to speak out, the one that actually wasn't ok with racial segregation and got thrown out for his efforts, was actually the most moral one there?
That entire thing just turned into "I suffer racism, therefor it is ok for me to discriminate against all of you and dismiss what you have to say out of hand. You are just some white person who refuses to take their damn pills, and there is no way you have any sort of valid point."

[Owlbread]

I was waiting for her to turn around to the brown eyes and say "why the hell did you agree that every single one of those blue eyes is racist"? But she didn't, she just talked about how every white person is racist. Every. Single. One.

[Max White]

Yea, I kept waiting for the "Hey guys, why the hell are you all ok with this shit?" moment, but it just never came. Turns out the bitch really is just a bitch.

She was disturbed by brown-eyes going along with it with glee when she was teaching all-white classes but now that the brown eyes are mostly black there's no problem.

[Max White]

Apparently we have just been brainwashed since before we were born. Her own words.

The worst bit is that anybody who point out how batshit the entire thing is gets dismissed as unwilling to see other white folk suffer for their own good.

[Max White]

More along the lines of "If you are white and don't like being called a racist? Racist. Are willing to join us and condemn all other whites? Well there might be hope for you, just shut up and do what I say and don't think."

Why does the US keep doing this? First Salem, then McCarthy...

Oh wow, It is just like an Australian to take one group of people and say they're all the same. (Read the sentence again if you don't catch it).

Two things: 1) This video took place in Britain. 2) Those two incidents took place 253 years apart, which is longer then the US has existed.
