Bath House ignores bad news. He’s just not that into it.

Bad news is for other people, not for the magic negro.

“I’m off the Hawaii in a few months, with golfing and ESPN, so whatever. Let someone else deal with it. I don’t live in eastern europe anyway. Screw it,” says Bath House.

"Europe will be going through another blood bath , they never learn.

It's interesting how Europe has gone thru a number of bloodbaths in the last century. From roughly 1914 to 1991 when the Soviet Union disintegrated, there was over 100 million European civilian and military deaths. This number does not include the 20 to 30 million civilians murdered in the Soviet Union.

If one annualized the death rate over that 77 year time span it equates to an average of 1.3 million deaths per year. How does that number compare to the murder rate in the USA over that period? Who is really more violent? The supposedly enlightened and supercilious Europeans who have been hiding behind Uncle Sam's skirts for the past century will probably repeat their historical pattern.

The enlightened Europeans are murderous Europeans.
