    Right, but if you read that link, you’ll see that that quote isn’t direct but instead a historians recollection of “words to that effect” from Ike. The following quote CAN be directly attributed to him:

    I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”

    Similar story here, my youngest just graduated college. And apparently my family sat in front of one of his neighbors who I met later at the a house party. And he goes “I’m pretty sure I sat behind you at the ceremony. I sat down and the first thing I heard was ‘god bless those Australians, they took one look at a whole onion and said ‘I bet you we can fry that and Americans will eat it’’”



  • I mean it doesn’t look like citizen kane but it also doesn’t look that bad? A lot of people in the comments here seem to think that Borderlands has some Baldur’s Gate level story to explore when it really is just a bunch of assholes doing assholish things for video game reasons. I say this as a massive bl2 fan that has always been willing to point out and accept every shortcoming that every game has had so far.
