Salim Mansur ping.

Who was it said "The lamps are going out all over Europe"?

Chamberlain?

[Gertie]

ping

[Squawk 8888]

Don't think so- it was said in 1914.

[bill1952]

Wrong war. But Chamberlain never leaned anything from Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary speaking to the House of Commons as World War I loomed:

“Today it is clear that the peace of Europe cannot be preserved.

The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.”

[bill1952]

That was replaced by Multi Culuralism.

Where have you been?

[Juan Medén]

Wow, a Canadian jounalist who gets it? Now I have seen everything.

[oyez]

I couldn't have said it better, a new Dark Age.

[Dad yer funny]

yup , concise , thoughts expressed well ,...

... will the AntiqueMedia be this clear , with a snapshot that readers can understand??

...[oh STOP it! they'll just continue with their convoluted leftie double-speak , switchback , innuendo journalism ,... that is why Salim Mansur is refreshing]

[bill1952]

Of course he did also say;

"I cannot conceive any point which can arise in the immediate future which would bring ourselves and the Germans into antagonism of interests," so perhaps he had his bad moments, as well

[bannie]

Exactly, don't go to the country to live unless you want to BE like those in that country.

[bannie]

"When in Rome..."

[bannie]

In fact...
Weren't the "ugly Americans" the ones who expected the world to conform to them?

[bill1952]

To them, that is being "nuanced" and shows their intellectual superiority over us knuckledraggers.

At least to themselves, it does.

[Joe Boucher]

U2 s song burning down the house comes to mind.
Oh well think I'll go fishing and not lose any sleep for parisians.

[Joe Boucher]

Wasn't u2 but I can't remember who did it.

[Dad yer funny]

Talking Heads

[adorno]

What ever happened to trying to fit in when you emigrate somewhere?

Oh, but they do fit in... in their own little communities which spring up when enough of them arrive in a new country. And once that little community grows large enough, they want to take over. It's happening all over Europe.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans" is no longer valid. It should now be "When you get to Rome, bring more of your kind so you can take over".
