My thoughts. And nothing else.

Ah, the benevolent dictatorship thread, force feed me cherries and beer.........

 

[andy2]

The word "dictatorship' somehow does not conjure an image of a "benevolent" to me. I always envision "dictatorship" is like a drug dealer with a bunch of porn stars.

Look it up..........it's a fantasy.....like democracy and communism

Being right does not exclusively belong to any single man.

There are so many ones, who doesn't think it this way.
See, for example, my wife.

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE*LITTLE*LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

Just because more people read Danielle Steel, than Harry Potter stories, it is means, it is a more valuable thing, than for example As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner?
The world was really worth for destruction.
And it does not matter.

Maybe I should change my own value systems.
But I will not, because I'm a stubborn bastard.

You and me both! Stubborn bastards unite!

I am more of a Isaac Asimov fan, he had such capacity for abstract thought. Very good with words.

Terry Pratchett is also on my list, very humorous style.

do we need a "ready any good (non-audio) books lately" thread?

 

[Gyuri]

I have read most of them when I was around 12-24 years.
I do not read much nowadays, I'm not so proud of it because I would have a lot to be read.

Chrisb:
I support your suggestion, reading goes well with music listening.

Gyuri:
Me too, I stop reading for years, and then my appetite is awakened, constantly craving new material, until everything else is more interesting. Like a ebb and flow cycle, such is life, ever changing.

My son died eleven years ago.
It was Tuesday night just as now.
Eleven years, I've been undead since.
What is the meaning of word "eleven" in Hungarian?

 

[TheGimp]

I'm sorry Gyuri, that is a terrible loss to carry.

Visszafele nincsen eletseg.

 

[Gyuri]

September 14, 1987.
It was the happiest day of my life.
Today, my son would be thirty years old.

 

[Gyuri]

Synonims of Hungarian word "eleven" are for example:

living, lively.

A dead mom turns me into a devil.

 

[Gyuri]

Am I mad, what do you think?

 

[Gyuri]

What happened exactly one hundred years ago, on the 10. of June?
Hungarians mostly didn't know it.
Too bad.

 

[Gyuri]

Including my wife and daughter.
I think, my son would know it.

I don't know, I wasn't there

How are your ears now?
