#1 "I have the death penalty on 12 worlds!"

Lol! Um, weren't those his last words?

Tribalism. Ethnic BS. The pointless insanity that paralyzes the backward areas of the world. And in PakiWakiLand - Cesspool Central - a zoo of tribal fiefdoms.

Is there anything to save, any fact-based hope it will ever evolve out of the stone age? It's had a full century of watching the West rocket ahead - and there it sits, a bulwark of backward barbarian brutality - and proud of it, too. I know Islam is part and parcel to the madness, but it's truly hopeless if in tandem with tribalism. Where they both exist and dominate, there lie doomed people.

#5 And the penalty for quoting Star Wars (correctly) is "Thou shall never mate again."
