By the way, one thing you never did was tell the military police at Checkpoint Bravo that you saw anything interesting enroute...

UFO sculpture in the park of the Medzi Jarkami panel houses housing estate, made in the 1970s Podunajské Biskupice part of Bratislava, Slovak Socialist Republic of Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Sculptor Juraj Hovorka. Just opposite to the now infamous "Pentagon" (because of the look) panel blocks housing estate. The "Pentagon" was originally monthly-paid workers' quarter for some local socialist CSR industries, complete with a small restaurant and, in the' 80s, a "VHS movie theater", but later, after fall of socialism on 17.11.1989, was slowly sold to individual people and soon became an infamous nest of drug dealers and junkies, with the park in front of "Pentagon" full of people using drugs. The architectural disposition of Pentagon with long, joined corridors across the multiple multi-story panel buildings helped the drug dealers get lost in the complex and drugs were hidden and passed around through energy distribution shafts as well. There were several risks for explosions in the complex from the '90s on as well when drugged people fell asleep with natural gas on and the flame burning out for various reasons. It was one of the cheapest places to buy a apartment in Bratislava into the mid 2010s, when a 2.5-3-room flat "in the worst Pentagon part" cost 16-20.000€ while in the rest of Bratislava 70-200.000+€, based on the locality. Between the 1990s and the mid 2010s, the police kind of didn't mind the accumulation of people with drug problems there and dealers and it was "convenient" for them to have these people in one place where they just came for them with police cars if they caused some drug-related problem. It also caused a daily problem for low(est) income people of Bratislava who had nothing to do with drugs but couldn't afford anything else. It was also a risky place for kids and generally anyone as drugs were consumed and injected in the nearby park, drug dealers operating and searching for new "clients" and used needles all around the place and the socialist era lighting around the park and closer to Pentagon not working during the night and before the advent of magnetic & chip locks in 2010s, locks broken and unauthorized people getting in and out of the complex as they pleased or drug using in staircases and elevators of the Pentagon complex. Since the mid 2010s, more and more drug dealers and users have been evicted as they didn't manage to pay the rent/utilities and ended up in jail and even the prices in Pentagon rose from 60k € up per flat. At one point, Bratislava and regional police even set up a police caravan close to the building, to operate and have a police team of at least few policemen nearby all the time.

I'd probably be more sympathetic to my friends on the left if they were able to accept that things such as pacifism -- which while abstractly good, is a crank ideology in practice -- are not something to advocate. Ceasefires, while they would stop armed conflict, wouldn't save civilians from the aggressor or imperialist power (Japan's proffered peace terms in 1945 etc.)

BTW, Mara Hobel deserved a better career then have to see it killed off by MD before it had begun.

That person you are mocking -- rightfully so! -- obviously typed their first name too fast.

Plus, after blowing it up, how are they all going to sustain themselves until they are set up in a new place (and _that_ won't just be a few days, either)? -
That episode was one of the few examples of media to acknowledge that babies and children who were not Anne Frank were murdered as well. See also: David Reimer being thought of as the 'only' baby boy turned into a baby girl (and some of those baby boys didn't actually have anything wrong with their junk...)

As i mentioned -- not many people care who created the modern Olympic torch relay but will balk at the playing of the Horst-Wessel Lied.

BG147 seems to take at face value the impression that Columbus is to blame for what happened. The outcome would have been the same had an African or Asian made the trip. It was inevitable whatever left-wing academics have said -- you'd need an unfeasibly large number of points of divergence and an equally unfeasible number of people to have a personality transplant.
