2:11 This is one of many signs of character which all must learn. Tollerance is something remarkable which must not be disregarded. Grace is a mystery indeed, but this King was himself but persevered his youth to become the man here. Can people BE themselves within their household? We make our mark when we stand firm by how we believe, and this is what this man attempted to do in many ways.

Does it pay to be called a madman when the 'mainstream' are headed in another direction?

There are many in Turkey who feel the country will be changed once Turkey becomes a member of the European Union.

I would not be surprised if the main reason he built that cathedral for the Catholics is his love for France, which is a Catholic strong hold.

[MontChevalier]

@mrceebees14 Eh, France has been a major atheistic country these days. I wouldn't be surprised if it still remained atheistic in those days.

[qounqer]

@MontChevalier before the revolution, they where about as catholic as the Irish in those day's lol

[MontChevalier]

@qounqer So why are they so atheistic today? Do they hate themselves?

[qounqer]

@MontChevalier no the revolution profoundly changed french culture, not only did they rebel against the king, but against the church, pretty much removing as much of the old éstates as possible, with many key revolutionary leaders being incredibly atheistic, and this has just kind of expanded as time goes on

[MontChevalier]

@qounqer Wow, I had no idea it was that bad.....

Well, we can still enjoy things about Prussia- awww shit that's right....

Prussia doesn't exist anymore. FUCK!

At least Austria still exists. And the Habsburgs never abdicated.

[qounqer]

@MontChevalier yeah they did didn't they

[MontChevalier]

@qounqer Actually, I had a closer look at what happened and the last Habsburg King, Charles von Austria, unbelievably enough, used veeeery careful words to "appease" his fellow Austrians. But he technically never abdicated because the words never even mentions abdication. It's no lie. Look it up. The Austrian government won't allow the Royal Family to enter Austria with those titles. So technically, Habsburg Austria still exists.

[qounqer]

@MontChevalier thats super lol, they should try and take back there power lol

[MontChevalier]

@qounqer At what price? People love their Democracy too much. Still, the best we can do is to just honor the Habsburgs and cherish what they've done, until the Austrians wake the hell up and see that their countries, their lands and who they are as a people will soon be at risk. Once Turkey becomes a member of the European Union, there goes Europe.
