An obsessive, bitter Frenchman who happens to be right and wrong in equal proportion. Right about the state of things, wrong about their nature

Nope. I say this all the time: there is no way Percy wrote Victor as such an effeminate whiny protagonist. Dude has fucking labor pains and pregnancy symptoms when he makes the monster. He faints about as much as a woman in a soap opera.

No, if Percy had written Frankenstein, 90% of the book would have been the kickass parts in the last 4 chapters where Victor's hunting the monster in his self-destructive quest for revenge and absolution. It would have been beautiful and tragic. It was the Frankenstein we deserved, but never got.

>Take Venezuela for instance. When oil was expensive, the country was rich and was considered one of the best in South America. When the price of oil came down, the country collapsed and violence blew up. The violence in the country was predicated by the revenue they were able to bring in because of oil.
Please don't be so reductionist. It is very silly to assert "oil money number go down, so then mean bad people number go up." I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I am asking that you provide a more rigorous argument than what I have just had the displeasure of greentexting

Had what I could only consider a nightmare this morning:

After some non-sequitor events I can't remember I wake up in an apartment which I felt I had just arrived in. In the doorway stands a tall charming girl in red. She looks at me, makes a comment about my being there and then crawls on my bed and gives me a kiss. Then she makes a girlish pose, gets up and tells me she's going out and I should come.
On the streets we walk along and run into some of her friends. As she's interacting with her male friends I try to conceal my new found affection for her. More and more I drift away from presence in the scene as more men arrive. Soon I'm just a spectator watching a tall charming women in red entertain a mass of men.
I wake up.
