User:The Brain
Hi, I chose the user name the brain due to my affinity to Pinky and the Brain not because I'm. egotistical. I am interested in mythology, psychology, art, finance and world culture.
My current code of conduct is derived from the Red Cross's statement of neutrality: In order to continue to enjoy peace of mind, my person may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. ;)
Convicted draft-dodger (1991), with pride.
Quotes on war:
"A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon." Napoléon Bonaparte
"They said: "O Mûsâ (Moses)! We shall never enter it as long as they are there. So go you and your Lord and fight you two, we are sitting right here." Sura Al-Ma'ida:24 (6:24)
And to quote a war-criminal (debasing myself in the process): “Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.” -- Henry Kissinger
