One of the funniest and most apt commentaries on human interaction I've ever encountered. I wish it was longer, but it's fantastic regardless. If you haven't read it, you poor, uncultured, sack of organic matter, here it is for free:

Dude, if you dont hate the French, you hate America. :sniperdan





All kidding aside, at the very least, youngsters today need to know Dr. Pangloss.

I do hate France and America.

I do hate France and America.

In other words, you hate Quebec.

No, I hate France AND Quebec. Motherfucking Frog motherfuckers. I also hate America, for its foreign policy, and general lack of morality and culture.

if you didn't read this in school, you got ripped off.

Why would you want it longer?
Says what it needs to concisely, something current authors should try.

For concise writing, read Hemingway.

"Candide" was awesome. I'll never forget about the removal of the left buttocks...

Why would you want it longer?

Because I found every conversation so amusing, if there had been more, I would have been amused for longer.

Candide is a great work. Anyone who dosnt love a half assed paple princess turned servent needs to look deep inside themselves and ask why do I suck.

Agreed.

I have a friend who is both a Voltaire fan and a cooking enthusiast. He has a recipe he calls 'Left cheek surprise'.

He hasn't had a date in years.

Atlas Shuggred might have been readable if it wasn't ∞ pages long.

Just kidding, it would have still been a piece of ****.
