Was Ho Chi Minh a particularly nasty dictator along the lines of Pol Pot? He was an anti-colonialist and communist so my American history classes basically portrayed him as Hitler in one of those conical asian farmer hats, but I don't remember hearing about massive death camps or anything. Sure the North Vietnamese treated American PoWs pretty brutally, but on the other hand...


He was as bad as any revolutionary fightting can be. Which is, sometimes committing necessary evils during their struggles IF you're supplying them with weapons OR being a genocidal maniac with visions of grandeur and bloolust if the commies are giving them weapons.

And wasn't Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge best buddies with the C.I.A.?

Bullfighting is a disgrace. There's few actions that make me lose all respect for a human being and bullfighting is one of them. They're scum people with scum ideals and scum personalities. Human cockroaches.

Here's an anti bullfighting ad, about how bullfighting shouldn't be defended as "culture".

Those are Forcados. The bull tends to be sedated and the horns are neutered to be completely useless. Still, i could bet 10 bucks that the forcados are the main reason why bullfighting is still popular in Portugal. It's still cruel to the animal but people simply love watching it (specially if the forcados get knocked the gently caress out).

There's also midget forcados :psyduck:. This has been recently banned in most parts of Portugal but as usual affectionates of the "sport" tend to cry so much that it happens at least once per year somewhere in the country. Yes,sometimes there's midget strippers too.

They show up at the fifth minute. This does not represent the whole country.

That's why he liked Stalin. Because he murdered millions of people. It was a joke :ssh:

Stalin killed military leaders that would probably halt the Germans before Ukraine, his rise to power was the biggest disaster in human history.

Sad eyed girl
What has made you cry so much
The little soldier won’t return
From the other side of the sea.

Lets go, thoughtful man,
Watch your pipe burn out
The little solder won’t return
From the other side of the sea.

Lady with your tired eyes
Why so weary at the loom
The little soldier won’t return
From the other side of the sea.

A friend goes around so sad
A letter has made him weep
Because the little soldier won’t return
From the other side of the sea.

The moon which is travelling
Is able to let us know
That the little soldier is back
He is almost here.

He comes in a pine coffin
From the other side of the sea
This time the little soldier
Will never again go to sea.
