With men, there is never such a hype when they get old, and the same should apply to everyone else, full stop

This also includes being able to age. The more you are in the public eye, the greater the attention paid to the loss of youth by the general public.

We were born to die but no matter how old someone gets the true fire of lust for life can be seen in the eyes.

The eternal delusion of youth in our societies is like trying to catch the wind with your hands and then realising it's gone.

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Benjamin Franklin

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

Vernus more or less

Everyone has the right to age as they like and to use every aid to make this as bearable as possible.

Plastic surgery is the management of flaws, once one is removed the next comes to light. The state of perfection is therefore unattainable. It is okay for everyone to exhaust all means to come to terms with ageing. Even if you ultimately become grotesque to yourself, it's ok. The beauty of old age is based on a misconception coupled with the myth that wisdom is inherent in old age.

Youth is sweet and well, But doth speed away!, Let who will be gay, Tomorrow none can tell"

Lorenzo de' Medici

Stupid remains stupid - even age doesn't help.

mod...... Unfortunately, I had to watch it thousands of times.

“Quant'è bella giovinezza,

Che si fugge tuttavia!

Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:

Del doman non v'è certezza.”

Lorenzo il Magnifico

Putin has history books rewritten for schools and universities. Ted Cruz has books banned in schools.

Fathers of an idea who ultimately do not differ in their view of society. Neither of them wants responsible, enlightened, self-determined citizens.

When books are banned or history books are rewritten, the approach is never to protect the citizens but only to preserve the power of individuals.

Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.

Heinrich Heine

Education is the friend of propaganda. Anyone who can think for themselves and can form an overall picture based on different facts from different sources is unfortunately useless for populist propaganda.

Just ask the British what happened to the oh-so-much money they supposedly had to pay to the EU after they went through with brexit.

Oh, the money didn't exist and the bus with the cool print was just propaganda from the brexit supporters.

However, there was a problem with this fact: it was patently untrue. Technically, the UK paid a gross £19.1bn into the EU budget in 2014, which equates to just over £350m a week. But thanks to Margaret Thatcher's hard-nosed negotiating skills in the 1980s, the country also receives a huge rebate of around £4.9bn, which never leaves Her Majesty's Treasury. The British also benefit from billions in various EU subsidies to the public sector. Add it all up and the UK's net contribution is around £9.9bn, just over half the amount touted by Brexit supporters. The total drops even further if you include things like the research funding the EU provides to UK universities.

You could have read about it in various sources, including books, but what the heck, gut feelings and felt facts are cooler!

There's a really clever saying: those who can read have a clear advantage.

700,000 death sentences in two years from 1936 to 1938

Historical glorification of Stalin.

History is a science and glorification of so-called Russian values.

Imperial nostalgia of the lost empire and its recovery by the successor of Peter the Great, Putin the .... We could not bring ourselves to add the addendum.

Putin who has the choice has none because I am the only option.

History is more enduring than historiography.

A country for old men.

Who would have thought that you would call a coup after a regular election and not be imprisoned or even shot! No, instead you get to reach for power again and stand for election.

Just imagine if the film hero had instigated a coup d'état based on his ability to lie constantly, sexism was his daily business and deception and fraud his modus operandi coupled with homophobia and racist insinuations. Think the film would be a flop..... but wow in reality no problem.

What is wrong in a country when the poor and religious people believe that the devil's right hand is the saviour?

This type of leader appears everywhere in history and is always extremely destructive",

Do not sin when you become angry! The sun must not set on your anger! Give the devil no place in you!

Ephesians 4:26-27

Because, of course, Satan does not arrive "in person". He has his servants - and they can use wise words - mixed with a little bit of poison. And already their whole message is poisoned! Again, it was the apparent wisdom of the Corinthians that made them impervious to these attacks from the devil. They honoured people as apostles who were in reality false workers, false apostles, servants of the devil. If they had exchanged the wisdom of this world for the wisdom of God, they would have remained "simple-minded towards Christ". And that alone would have preserved them, because they would have recognised that Satan looked like an angel of light on the outside, but that the voice of the good shepherd did not speak from him. In truth, this light is darkness - and corrupts our attitude, our thoughts and our way of life.

I find it fascinating that the basic attitude towards alternative lifestyles of religious people in American society drives them right into the hands of the servants.

Everyone has their own paradise, deviations from mine would not be very big here..... sometimes a small paradise on earth is preferable to an imaginary paradise in another dimension.

Thanks to @rmonti55 and everyone who helped me get 50 reblogs!

A fact-based view of the world is the foundation of an enlightened mind.

Satire paired with facts contributes to the formation of political will and is an antidote to the professional dissemination of false information. The oh-so-loved centre of propaganda to divide people into social groups that should no longer work together for the good of the nation. But for the benefit of individuals who will be the real winners in the background.

Thanks again to all if we remain silent the world loses

It's interesting that he is releasing his own alliance for attack.

If you have allies like that, you don't need enemies.

I assume the Chinese laughed their heads off and thought taiwan was ours as soon as the Orange Man was in power.
