Let me give you some Voltaire.

“It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.”

“It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong.”

“The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.”

“Illusion is the first of all pleasures.”

"Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd."

I have been trying to find a quote by Voltaire about the normal human condition being one of confusion (which I like to encourage), but I can;t find the actual quote.

I doubt The Yappy Lap Dog knows who Voltaire is. and since he was French, he'd never read him anyway...

They probably thinks it's the second generation of the plug in Chevy.

Still searching...

I first came across the quote when reading

Pedro Juan Gutiérrez Tropical Animal

which would appeal to anybody here, seeing as (sypnosis):

Gutiérrez's first novel to be translated into English, catapulted him into the front rank of internationally renowned Latin American authors. Tropical Animal sees the return of the already infamous Pedro Juan, the protagonist at the heart of the first novel. Pursued by Gloria, a proud and sophisticated prostitute on a mission to curb his predatory instincts, Pedro Juan is holed-up in his crumbling Havana apartment, painting, with a growing sense of melancholy as he observes the lives of the hustlers, hipsters and hookers in the city below him. An invitation to Sweden, of all places - cold, unwelcoming, the very antithesis of Pedro's Cuba - seems to offer him a way out, and the seductive phone manner of Agneta proves persuasive enough for him to leave for Europe. However, he soon finds himself haunted by memories of Gloria and their wild sex together, and increasingly uninspired by his new environment. Does Pedro Juan, legendary sexual conquistador and imbiber of hard liquor and substances, finally have to admit that the game is over? Or do his hedonistic instincts have juice enough to keep him active yet?

He quotes Voltaire whilst in Sweden and considering the conflicting pulls of Agneta and Gloria.

The sex descriptions are absolutely filthy. I gave it to my priest brother in law for holiday reading and he quickly determined it was too racy for him.

AHA - my memory was serving me badly.

Here is the quote from the book:

The only sure thing in my life is confusion. It's been constant my whole life long: confusion, chaos, complications. I always thought that one day i would become to be an adult and that all this would end and I would be able to lead a calmer life. Now I read something that Colette said in Paris to Truman Capote: 'that is the only thing none of us will ever be able to be, adults...Voltaire, even Voltaire, carried a child around inside him his whole life, an envious and evil-minded child, an obscene little boy, who was always sniffing his fingers; and Voltaire carried this child to his grave, as all of us will carry ours.'

But I am I think right to think that Voltaire saw confusion as the backbone of the human condition.

My drink needs re filling.

I'm pretty sure FOX is the highest rated cable news network. Obama is a fool for avoiding them. He is supposed to be President of us all, yet he refuses to take questions from the highest rated cable news network. I'm not a fan of FOXNews, in fact, I don't watch them at all, but if he can't handle a question from Fox, then he shouldn't be President.

bullshit, bullshit and if you aren't sure, then why push more lies?

In 2012, it continued to be CNN on cable

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...r-2012/165803/

And according to NewsTrust, Fox is the least trusted news source in America, behind EVERYBODY, including Al Jazeera, the Daily show and ESPN (Celebrate, mouth breathers!)

Actually, the "liberal" Neilsen ratings put Fox in the fucking toilet during the recent Christmas season.

Where in any of that does it say that FOXNews in not the highest rated cable news network? Oh, yeah. It doesn't have to. You know what, Assup? Your own posts prove that you are the liar, not me. But that is to be expected, since you are the reigning . . .

DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR 2013

ASSUP!!!

[Yssup Rider]

You're more stupid than you are arrogant.

but at least you reminded us all why!

You made an outrageous comment -- never once taking into consideration the TV viewing public, those numbers, cable penetration, network (airwaves) numbers, etc.

I produced ratings, trust numbers, etc. all proving you we're wrong.

for a change, you were talking out your ass. Now you're trying to do damage control on your own stupidity.

I handed you your dumb ass. AGAIN!

Period.

[CuteOldGuy]

Can't answer a simple question, can you, Assup? Can't admit that you are the liar here? It was a nice try, but you failed.

Here's your ass, again, Assup!

DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR 2013

[Yssup Rider]

sorry dickweed. You ain't squirming out of another ass whipping.

APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T READ THE NEILSEN REPORT IN MY PREVIOUS POST.

Asshat! This is on you. Not me. I proved you were full of shit. You just cut and parted your typical reply, replete with smilies...

GODDAMN am I glad Im not you!

[CuteOldGuy]

Just answer the question, Assup. Or admit that you're lying again. It's funny to watch you squirm when you get caught! LOL! I guess that's why you won . . .
