Oh yeah, he‘s stable. This is definitely someone we should be worshiping. 🙄 So much for that whole “Christian nation” thing; although, I can see a whole lot of Protestants turning this comment into an expression of sectarianism they totally support.

readinginthedark I mean, he did spend a lot of time in France... 6y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark instead of fighting in the revolution. He was also a twat, discrediting news papers who wanted to report the truth on how out of hand and bloody the French Revolution has gotten and pushing his own version of events instead. He was more concerned with his ego and what people thought of him that things he actually did. He lashed out at anyone who wouldn‘t buy into his BS. (edited) 6y
readinginthedark Yep. Political machinists. 6y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark the more I read, the more he reminds me of Trump, to be honest. 6y

I only have 8 days left with this beauty, so I‘m going to have to try and get back on the waiting list (and wait another 6 months to continue reading it) or buy a copy as soon as humanly possible. This book is amazingly good, but wow it‘s packed with info. I feel like I could read it more like a historian if I had a physical copy (which is even harder to get my hands on).

By these standards, no one would be getting into Princeton anytime soon. Good thing the standards changed with the times.

Crazeedi Too bad our standards have dropped 6y
GingerAntics @Crazeedi I‘m not sure it‘s a bad thing. Is any of this actually useful in today‘s society? I still agree that education standards in America have drastically dropped and not for the better. 6y
Crazeedi @GingerAntics that's true, maybe not that specifically, but standards have diminished 6y
GingerAntics @Crazeedi oh definitely, I think most recently they‘ve diminished because hardly anyone can meet higher standards. 6y
GingerAntics @Crazeedi the scariest thing to me is that I work at a college and it‘s absolutely stunning how many high school graduates come through and can‘t write a complete sentence. Basic things we learned back in 2nd and 3rd grade have been thrown out the window in favour of these ridiculous tests. 6y
