Hitler, Adolf (20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) became the dictator of Germany at the age of 44. His career ended when he was 56. The end of his career needed a little prompting. I am not aware that many dictators just decided to call it quits. Your joker in chief, passionate pussy lover and golfer, might also require a little prompting. A general strike might help to influence his vassals to push no 45 off the throne.

Do you like holding hands or holding their arm?

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 23, 2018:

Interesting dilemma because of cultural connotations. I remember bing surprised when I visited a friend of mine from Congo. As soon as I had entered the door he grabbed my hand and led me through the house into the garden where he introduced me to he rather large family - he's got 13 children - and various other guests. I felt awkward ... At various occasions some females in China held my hand and some did the arm thing. Holding hands in amongst Korean or Chinese females seems to be a very normal thing. I witnessed two Korean ladies walking off hand-in-hand after meeting for the first time. Differnt cultures different meanings. And then there is the sweat component ...

Well ... I introduced lentils to a few friends of mine. I had brought a few kgs to China. Mine friends got hooked. The hunt for the elussive lentils was on. A dozen or so friends of mine scoured the various places that were most likely to sell lentils here in Canton.《Zilch》Finally one guy decided to contact his family in the North-West of China, about 2000 km (much less impressive in miles) and had them send. Another one got onto the internet to buy some. The comment was taste: ok 。。。 but looks: like shit. So I changed the cut of the carrots and added some capsicum (probably called bell pepper by Trump's subjects!) This is a vegetarian variety ... but my Chinese friends accept it.

She alerts him and asks him to remove the *corpus delicti*. He obliges, though his discontentment shows in his face, and rips out the offensive hair. On my way out I saw another of those offensive white threats making itslef very visible between all these other perfectly black neighbours. I hesitate ... should I say: "Oh, he forgot one!" ...

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 20, 2018:

I remember once crossing a road at a busy intersection. There was a couple of dogs smack bang in the middle of the intersection. Eight cops were watching. My girlfriend said: " Looks these dogs are making love." I thought they were just having a fuck. Another time we went to a piggery with about 20 pigpens. As we walked along these pens I realised that each was occupied one a pregnant sow who was either sleeping or slowly moving about. It was siesta time. When we reached the last pen my girlfriend said, pointing at a larger pig: "That is the husband." She just laughed when I asked her whether they had a group wedding or just a series of weddings. I wished I could have interviewed these pigs. I think we often engage in mental acrobacy to deny the fact that we are animals. Perhaps we should cleanse our minds of the idea that sex is cleansed when wrapped in pink love. Even if love is envolved sex is animalistic. Herpes probable doesn't care whether it was transmilled during a fuck or a session of passionate love making.

Boris Johnson's burka jibe: Why do some Muslim women wear the veil? - BBC News

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 19, 2018:

I think anyone should be allowed to wear whatever tickles their fancy. However, public nudity is not allowed. Perhaps nudist should register as a religion and then claim exemption from the prohibition. A torough debate is needed. In France a woman wearing a burkini on the beach was forced by police to remove it. In Austria a guy went to the high court to fight for his right to wear a colander in the photo for his driver licence. He claimed that it is religious headgear worn by the pastafarians. According to Austrian law people wearing headgear for religious reasons are allowed to keep it on for the photo. I would say privileges should not be granted because of religion ... there might still be religions practising human sacrifices.

Why do, some, women expect to pay their debts with sex?

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 19, 2018:

Well ... with all due respect ... This post is weird. To your question: Depending on the circumstances sex can be seen as a commodity, thus by extension, as a substitute currency. You might have heard of prostitution. Then you state that you had *seemingly* satisfactory sex with your friend. So you are only sure of your own. From your nonchalant phrasing I take it that it was casual sex amongst friends. The sequence should have rung a bell. From your account I get the impression that you were not lovers before you paid for her classes. But what really puzzles me is that you throw in your nationality at the end. Are you implying that among French friends this situation is impossible (which according to Napoleon is not French)? Are sex and money incompatible in the French psyche? I think you are thinking too much in stereotypes.

Are there any female atheist activists?

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 19, 2018:

I think that the issue of atheism is distorted in the Anglo-sphere. In other *western* countries atheim is so entrenched that there is no real need for advocacy. Though this can change dramatically very quickly. But to an extent the absence of female atheist voices could play in the hands of conservatives who might want to criminalise abortion. Australia might be slipping down that chute. Apparently the new despot from down under seems to feel that some god sent him on a mission. One can only hope that liberal female voices are being heard and listened too when it comes to issues such as abortion and contraception etc.

You raise an interesting point. You are a closet atheist Just imagine how many like you are out there and think: "Why do I have to pretend?" I am convinced that many "believers“ are just ***believers of convenience***. A few years back I had to think about secret ballots. Since my first vote I was suspicious of the practice. Unless there is really danger for one's life etc. they should be open. And the principle applied to more facets of life. Nowadays we are told about privacy and even friends would be reluctant to give out other friends' phone numbers. Yet I still remember time when phone numbers were listed in public phone books. Sorry ... going off on a tangent. I hope you can become brave enough to liberate yourself without too much drama. Good luck!

Job satisfaction.

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 18, 2018:

Jobs are not there to provide satisfaction. The role of a job is to remind you that you are just a cog in a big machine. I remember my daughter coming home with the task: "What is your dream job in the future?" She was about 14. She showed me the task sheet. There was a caveat: "Be realistic!" ... I almost wanted to go to the school and question the stupid teacher by telling her/him the story of Nelson Mandela. Little black boy in Apartheid South Africa writing: "I want to become the president of SA!" I was recently thinking how much one have to devulge about oneself just to get a shitty job. Only those who are daring can hope for a "dream job". The bulk of people just skave away.

I think it would be perfect to be totally honest, but I don't think it is really that easy. I realised that I had frequently not even been honest with myself. We drag the burden of education along.

Someone with a faintly sociopathic lack of regard for other people; see also arsehole. 3. Someone useless, inefficient or time-wasting, especially in a place or work and/or position of responsibility. **tosser** ok, here's the true explanation: while the word wanker is a more general and term for expressing disdain for somebody, the word tosser describes a person with a tendency to show off or brag in an excessive and embarrassing way.
