Fuck Nationalism.
Quotation–
I could never understand ethnic or national pride. Because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn’t a skill, it’s a fuckin’ genetic accident. You wouldn’t say “I’m proud to be 5’11”. I’m proud to have a…

Zu Heiss gebadet?
The Essence of Rangatiratanga–
Ich muss vorausschicken, dass ich Hans Heiss für einen reflexions- und vernunftbegabten Menschen halte, dessen Ansichten ich nicht selten teile und dessen besonnene Art im von selbstdarstellerischen Egomanen verseuchten Politzirkus eine Wohltat ist.

No problem on that side.
Quotation–
If they [Scotland] decide to be independent […] and if they want then to stay in the European Union, they can stay to the European Union. It’s their decision. BBC: Stay in without having to join a queue to get in? Yes, they are in for the moment, so there is no problem on that…

Relax, that’s democracy, baby!
–
Source: bbc.co.uk There is definitely no lack of excitement in politics these days.
