They're called fries, dumbass.

>>2285904
No, they're chips, you Yank piece of shit.

>>2285909

Fuck off, Euroscum. We English now.

>>2285904
Do not derail the thread.

You are incorrect. They are called chips, dumbass.

Fuck your thread and fuck your incorrect usage of the English language.

Fried potatoes of any sort are called fries. Only some rotten-toothed, stinking brit with his brain addled by centuries of alcoholism and incest would ever think to call them chips.

Where are you from?

Far from high-brow, but the books I turn to most often are Viz annual editions. I've been reading them since I was ten and even now they still never fail to make me laugh. I've probably read the better ones from start to finish at least ten times. The best sketch is The Modern Parents.

Maybe not 'useful' in the most practical sense of the word, but nothing which causes so much delight regardless of my mood can be 'useless'.

The United States of America.

>>2285950

That is absolutely how those words should be spelled. Any other spelling is incorrect.

>>2285968

We have a few. We've managed to do more with them than you folks have.

This book has been useful in explaining to Britfags why they are the scorge of humanity and why they owe the world trillions of "pounds" in reparations for the evil they've brought to the world, including how they invented machine guns, genocide, concentration camps, and encoraged Marxism, the greatest evil of all. I turn to it almost every day.

Britain hate general?

Has anyone here read The Vampire of the Continent?

The Gay Science

Those Are Real Bullets: Bloody Sunday, Derry, 1972 by Peter Pringle and Phillip Jacobson.

This book is useful in explaining to the English why the IRA are not terrorists but innocent freedom fighters, how the English are repressive, totalitarian, exploitative evil murderers and how and how Ireland only wanted to be free.

Camus

I understand the whole deal with religion and existentialism and realise they're both bullshit.

>>2287533
that looks good,will give it ago.

am not a big reader but I have "listened to" how to win friends and influence people and I have read most of the art of war.
Both of them have usefull info for the average person.

bu then again a lot of it is just common sense

>>2287533

innocent freedom fighters that happily murdered actual innocent people, yeah?

so I guess al qeada are innocent freedom fighters too? as long as you believe in your own cause you can kill as many people as you want!

mfw I have a tree in my garden older than the USA

I found that bit where he decapitated the concubines to instill discipline really useful for everyday life.

>>2287552
The terrorists suicide bombed the USA first you stupid britfag. Did you forget that or are you so brainwashed by your liberal media that you were never told about 9/11?

The IRA are not terrorists. In the words of Ann Coulter, "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims".

>>2287560

oh, I get it now, you are trolling, because there is literally no other reason on earth to quote Ann coulter

>>2287560
they have a good cause,but planting exsplosives in cars and then leaving them in the middle of a normal street where there are every day people isnt a good way to get what you want.

>>2287560

quoting Coulter in any way, shape or form should have the same effect as Godwin's Law, there is no better way to show that you know fuck all about anything.

>>2287563
>>2287570
How would you know? I bet Ann Coulter is censored in your awful Orwellian mess of a country by the politically correct multi-cultured politburo. One time Britain had an empire and was proud. What a fucking sorry state you're in now, it's almost upsetting.

Getting things done by David Allen.

The US and UK kind of dug their own grave when they helped over throw more west friendly heads of state and put in charge overzealous religious...

Ohh ok you're a troll or a moron nvm

>>2287586
I bet you read Noam Chumpsky. You make me sick.

>>2287595
I bet you read Glenn Beck. You make me rape.

Of all this from unrelated potatoes. 4chan never ceases to amaze.

>>2287549
Do you find yourself referencing the book over and over?

>>2287584
Can you expand?

To all, do you find there is a book which has taught you a very useful skill?

>>2287586
frankly, in most of these countries, the choice is between dictatorial military regimes or religious zealots, because those are the two groups that have any kind of power. military has force, religious zealots have popular support and discipline. in any state w/o well-ingrained democratic norms, it's going to be really hard for middle-class liberal democrats to attain any kind of popular power. we see this tendency throughout the middle east (and analogous tendencies, replacing "religious zealots" with w/e ideology has the most support amongst the lower class, throughout the world outside of western europe, USA, canada, japan).

>>2287595
You clearly don't. The main is waaaay more qualified to be cited as a source than Ann fucking Coulter. She came to my town and caused a traffic delay for over an hour when I was trying to get home from work, a trip that normally takes 10 minutes. To this day I know her as the bitch who causes big traffic for no reason.

I did do with the "how to win friends" book.
I still havens seem to of gotten them points to stick in my head when I want something though.

The Bible of course for the widest assortment of advice. KJV because it is sexy.

And the Republic of Plato. Allan Bloom translation.

Both are splendid for a variety of functions.
