They originally wanted to take this out, but Welles insisted on keeping it in. God, he rocked.

MAAHAAAAH THE SWISS

[Fractal Vortices]

Yes the church highly moral with those child molesting priests, holy wars: crusades and Jihads, sectarian violence and genocides Catholics and protestants burning the other on the stake, confessions gained under torture. Middle ages sound exactly like the 20th century.

Your case is ignorant arrogance and it makes you feel good about yourself, there's the truth we are each the architects of our own ethics/knowledge/worldview, you just don't have the confidence so you live behind false bravado.

[Fractal Vortices]

Actually proves his point, direct democracy (not this facade of a democracy called representative 'democracy') arose from one of the bloodiest histories.... Enforced peace brings worse corruption and heightens the chances of war breaking out, which is the state of affairs we live in right now.

[Christian Sanders]

It matters not one iota if the speech is factually acurate...Harry is not a straight talker...hollow rhetoric is his stock in trade...but Orson brings persausive charisma...That's why this speech is....

[Rodrigusificacionn]

That is not an speech against democraty. Is that in the mediterraneo we have freedom spirit, art, living and expression and we don't like rules what makes the permit to do many mistakes because we forgive and are open minded because whe know that that is reality. We, as socitey like to life in freedom as much as we can. Living in real freedom you just see how is a real human being with his great and weakness.

Mork calling Orson...

Mork calling Orson.

The wisdom of his character isn't supposed to be legitimate.

Funny because Switzerland had one of the bloodiest histories of any country with the civil war between the different tribes and after that cantons. Must be fun to make up shit to sound like you're deep.

[Craig Clark]

Well, I guess it's no wonder why they disliked it then.

intense but unfortunately wrong !!! The cuckoo clock does'nt come from Switzerland !!
