Holy shit batman! WTF is this load of crap ment to be? Mick McT 16:41, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

It's meant to be a course on how glorious America is and how evil and incompetent the Communists are. Par for the course. I wonder about this, though: "When [Ho Chi Minh] returned in 1941, he founded “Vietminh”, with the name reflecting that he intended to rule as a dictator." Does Andy think that Ho named the Viet Minh after himself, or what? --AKjeldsenCum dissensie 16:51, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] "Négritude" was a non-African phenomenon

I think you may be overstating your case a little bit. After all, Senghor was one of the key negritude writers and thinkers. If I were writing this, I would probably have gone with something like: "Négritude was not a uniquely African movement, but an Atlantic movement that united Black writers and thinkers from Africa, Europe and the Americas in an attempt to use African identity as a basis for political and cultural liberation." Still, first-rate work as always. PintOfStout Talk BRONIES! 16:25, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

You're right, PintofStout (which I could really do with after this crap!); I got a little carried away being annoyed. Would you mind if I plagiarise your more accurate sentence? :) Ironclad (talk) 19:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I would be honoured. PintOfStout Talk BRONIES! 20:43, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Awesome

Never saw these fiskings before. I'm very much enjoying seeing history in a "new light." I would also like to say [Redacted by order of Big Schlafly.] Now off to the memory hole! Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 20:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] oy, what the hell iron?

how do you read". Nixon also increased bombing of North Vietnam and Vietcong strongholds in Cambodia and Laos. " and get the impression that Is Andy in favour of even more intensive chemical- and high explosive- bombing of civilians? When did this man become the new Reichsmarschall?. He stated a fucking fact; nixon increased bombing, didnt say if he did or did not support it. I expect quality in the commentary; not "HUR DUR ANDY IS A WAR HUNGRY PRICK!"--il'Dictator Mikal (talk) 05:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

You honestly expected quality commentary from the same people that push the Ken template? Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 05:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I do when yhe's done it more or less so far. W--il'Dictator Mikal (talk) 05:41, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
I am speaking from personal experience that the detonation of high yield explosives and expenditure of high caliber munitions is a powerful stimulant. That being said, the high burns off pretty quick and one is left feeling empty and hollow with shame sloshing around at the bottom afterward, much like I would suspect a crack addict experiences, even when civilians are nowhere near the engagement area.

Oh hello again, Mikalosa. Thankyou for your aggressive point. As I have stated in the commentaries, what Andy chooses to write and what he chooses to omit, is very revealing about his worldview; how he narrates history is as insightful as what he actually narrates. I'd appreciate it if you refrained from being unpleasant towards me. Might I remind you that barely a week ago you were demanding that I start commenting on Lecture Thirteen (and I don't appreciate being called "boy"), and while plenty of others have had the decency and manners to drop me a line to say thankyou for writing these long commentaries - which I am under no obligation, from you or anyone else, to do - all you have done is complain and insult me. As for "I expect quality in the commentary", you shouldn't expect anything. I don't have to do these refutals. I choose to write them, for entetainment and education. Nobody's forcing you to read them. If you don't like what I've written, don't read it. It's that simple. As it states on your own userpage, "It bother you? Fuck off; you don't have to talk to me" Ironclad (talk) 16:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to apologize for my earlier snipe about there being no quality commentary on CP—I didn't actually read your analysis. It's just, there are maybe six people still doing quality commentary on CP—and you're one of them (the rest of us just sit around pointing out how much smarter we are than them), and I missed your earlier dissections of Andy's lectures, so I assumed this was just more juvenile commentary. I apologize. I'm reading it right now, and it is very good. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 17:35, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the apology, Stabby - we all make mistakes :) Glad you're enjoying the reading! Ironclad (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
