John Adams

[akaraniq]

I absolutely love this scene <3

[mgwilliams1000]

Adams was never a politican in today's sense.  He was a Statesman, as all great leaders were. Even Sulliman the First was that as he conquerd most of Europe. Very, very few left.

[taking000piss]

@2112murphy exactly speaking, he didn't. the militia in M.A. and the redcoats did. but what you said made a point, just like the saying goes: old men start wars, but it is the young men who fight them

[taking000piss]

Adams never studied war. Washington did, from his life-and-death experience in his early years.

This scene was supposed to be before the French Revolution, right?

[NJRocks281]

yes

[12ur1w1p]

@NJRocks281 Thanks. Damn, I feel like an idiot now though, for not remembering that the French Revolution was after the American one.

[NOMNOM81]

Heh the French at the table with Adams in this scene, kinda reminds me of the behavior of many of the politicians in Washington in both parties. Too many Lords, and Ladies, who are more about themselves, and don't care too much about the people

[kerchiu]

arts are good after you got money and power?

[DoGooderRecords]

Arts are possible after you don't have to fight for survival or justice.

The same goes for all creative thought including invention and technological advancement. It's because thinking takes time.

Traditionally, law is meant to be objective and fair-handed. Not what you study to get filthy rich, buy a bunch of superficial crap and marry a succession of shallow floozies who don't love you.

[DistantLover]

Did you seriously misunderstand his entire point? I find that really hard to believe.

[IDonT4]

In China, this is called the third generation curse. First generation works hard to bring about success, second generation expands and sustains it, third generation wastes it.

[aronnov]

So True!

[taking000piss]

@IDonT4 there has been like 30 generations in England, but most of today's english people work hard and never waste the success of their forefathers.

[kooodeal]

No ,John Adams dines with french whore.

[olivemike81]

They should have called this scene: Adams goes to clown college.

[PrussianSunsets]

Fantastic.
