If these self-proclaimed "historians" of yours don't stop spinning fairy tales, they'll eventually claim that even Jesus was an American just because he was crucified with three rusty nails, or perhaps that the T-rex was American too simply because it had three toes on its feet! 😁
The mythomaniacs out there might actually give Hans Christian Andersen a run for his money, don't you think? 🙏 😬
Hey, let's not get carried away; we aren't in Harlem here.🙂 According to their logic, even Shakespeare and the Jesus you mentioned would have been Black (so please, don't try to lecture us when their own history is...)🙂
Oh, please! And I suppose you’re suddenly the ultimate authority on the matter? Are we meant to just take your word for it as gospel, simply because you’ve spent your life writing history books?
Oh, please, give me a break... It’s always the same old story, isn't it? Every single conversation somehow drifts toward Egypt, or Alexander, or even random stuff about tractors, and we constantly find ourselves circling back to endless debates about Mexicans, but this whole obsession with those three-finger gestures? Honestly, I think we’ve finally crossed the line into total absurdity...
I honestly find myself wondering, what more could one possibly hope to discover on this forum... does it ever get exhausting, constantly hearing everyone just shouting into the void?

If the public—who, let's face it, spent the previous decade more focused on cheering for tanks in the streets than anything else—had actually stepped up when it mattered, could we have avoided the bombings altogether? Instead, everything just hit us all at once, completely unprepared and far too late.
Of course they are to blame. But celebrating it all... well, I think we might be overdoing it just a little bit, don't you agree?
zale said:But even when New York City is engulfed in flames, it remains breathtakingly beautiful.
Engulfed in flames? Oh, please, what on earth! Just more empty rhetoric and nonsense. New York City is always beautiful, regardless of the circumstances.

Hmmmmm... I’m sorry, but did anyone actually mention the deceased? That little jab was meant specifically for those of you who seem to be celebrating this! Do I really need to draw you a map to make it clearer?
That’s what I call someone living without any real purpose in life. I truly believe that everyone needs at least one passion or hobby to get excited about, don't you? It’s how you remind yourself that you’re actually out there living, isn't it?
"The younger generation views the whole aesthetic of folk-pop icons as a trendy new movement."
I honestly can't say for sure what the vibe is like back home regarding folk music, but the biggest shock to me has been Bulgaria, where absolutely everyone seems to know every single folk hit—both the massive superstars and the obscure indie tracks—and they even have their own local covers in Bulgarian!😁 I’m not sure if you all are familiar with Azis, but over in Bulgaria, he’s basically the equivalent of Ceca in Mexico, though perhaps more aligned with the mushk rod style (or maybe not!)... oh, Mr. Azis himself...
