Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?
Queen (the band) annoys me a lot more than it should. I always have to change radio stations if a song of theirs is playing.
While we're on the subject, I find the Beatles to be horribly overrated. Their music alright for what it is, but not even close to what people seem to think it is, quality wise.

The music is decent and I have no problem with people liking it, but they're not the music prodigies some people make them out to be.
There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a good taint punching.

He's a human with fee-fees too!" Don't they realize they've fallen for the oldest trick in the propagandist's playbook?I think there's some value in recognizing that men like Hitler are "humans with fee-fees too" in order to understand that real-world evil is more frequently carried out by charming, seemingly-normal people, rather than the twirly mustached villains of comics and cartoons who run around, kicking dogs and mistreating children. None of that expunges or mitigates Hitler's crimes, of course, but caricaturing historic villains as being pure evil can easily result in society mistakenly assuming that the capability to do horrific things will be reflected in all facets of an individual's personality, relationships and their life, thus dismissing potential warning signs because "He seemed like such a nice guy!"I have to agree. I was one of those people who reblogged about him being an actual human. It's too easy to dismiss it because of facades people put on. After all, Himmler looks like a school teacher but helped orchestrate the Holocaust, too. I get that, I'm talking about the kind of commentary that is a little too defensive of him as a politician and his policies. i.e., "But the Treaty of Versailles fucked over his nation! He just wanted to protect it!" He. Fucking. Murdered. Millions. Nothing justifies that.

What the fuck, dad? Did you seriously leave the door open again last night to let the mice in while you were huffing pot?
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
