Reply #11: Character? What fucking character?

[Julien Sorel]

You're talking about a coke snorting drunk who rammed an invasion that resulted in tens of thousands of deaths down the throats of a country that had to be bullied into it, and a world that never could. That's character??

George Orwell wrote an essay, "Such, Such Were The Joys," in which he notes that people in England looked at boorishness as a sign of "character." Mr. Kessler must be an Englishman at heart.
