It was a JOOOKE, silly.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Half the battle?
"I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter evenings."

What about the other half of the battle? Blood and gore?

I hate 'art' that isn't really art...

Like why the crap would someone want to paint the ugliest woman or building or tree imaginable...
It's just not aesthetically pleasing no matter how technically proficient it is...

You mean the people that think because they don't like something it sucks?

"Remember how in that communion only, beholding beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth, not images of beauty, but realities (for he has hold not of an image but of a reality), and bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be immortal, if mortal man may."

I hate people who pay for tanks of gas with ziplock bags full of loose change while the entire line has to wait for it to be counted.
