    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I know it's lame, cliché and incredibly dull but it's the basis for most of my political philosophy as well as my general outlook on life.

    To be fair, almost anything said by Voltaire. :bandit:

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

    “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” - Voltaire

    “God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.” - Voltaire.



    “It is never too late to be what you might have been.” - George Eliot.
    Yes! I'm a huge voltaire fan, read candid at 14 and was immdietly in love with philosophy and literature!

    Also, 'crush the infamous', can aply to so mnay things not just catholicism, but to all insidious organisations!

    Your a good one you are!

    And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
