Just go away
==Some of my small triumphs==

.




















==Some quotations==

The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell. It leads to intolerance. It leads to religious wars, and to the saving of souls through the inquisition. And it is, I believe, based on a complete misunderstanding of our moral duties. It is our duty to help those who need our help; but it cannot be our duty to make others happy, since this does not depend on us, and since it would only too often mean intruding on the privacy of those towards whom we have such amiable intentions.


The problem with assuming good faith is that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.


There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen.


A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.


As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man<br>
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.<br>
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,<br>
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;<br>

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins<br>
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,<br>
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,<br>
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!


This is shaping up to be the worst Arbcom in my over 13 years on Misplaced Pages, and the competition is stiff.


It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,<br>
For fear they should succumb and go astray;<br>
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,<br>
You will find it better policy to say: --

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,<br>
No matter how trifling the cost;<br>
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,<br>
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

"Pointing out that someone is cherrypicking sources is assuming bad faith" - one of the stupidest things I have ever read on Misplaced Pages, and a green-light to POV pushers.

==Misplaced Pages doesn't believe foreigners==

==Politeness==

In April 1942 - 3 months after Nazi plans for the "Final Solution" - Joseph Goebbels started a new campaign

It was for "more politeness in public life".
