I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

This fuckin quote is from Joseph Goebbels and was about one of his views on a Jewish conspiracy. I so hate this quote.

"Belgium sucks."

Yeah, it has its imperfections, but that's what makes it so much more special from most other European countries. I absolutely love that place.

Also, some people genuinely think that this country "doesn't exist" for whatever reason.

That sodium is the leading reason for blood pressure and heart disease. Evidence has been shaky at best, and at worst it's a cause among many.
