Correct

Oscar Wilde's last words “Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.”

smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast - Ace Rimmer

“If the thing they were fighting for was important enough to die for then it was also important enough for them to be thinking about it in the last minutes of their lives. That stood to reason. Life is awfully important so if you've given it away you'd ought to think with all your mind in the last moments of your life about the thing you traded it for. So did all those kids die thinking of democracy and freedom and liberty and honor and the safety of the home and the stars and stripes forever?

You're goddamn right they didn't.

They died crying in their minds like little babies. They forgot the thing they were fighting for, the things they were dying for. They thought about things a man can understand. They died yearning for the face of a friend. They died whimpering for the voice of a mother a father a wife a child They died with their hearts sick for one more look at the place where they were born please god just one more look. They died moaning and sighing for life. They knew what was important They knew that life was everything and they died with screams and sobs. They died with only one thought in their minds and that was I want to live I want to live I want to live.

He ought to know. He was the nearest thing to a dead man on earth.”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

is an ancient proverb which suggests that two parties can or should work together against a common enemy. The earliest known expression of this concept is found in a Sanskrit treatise on statecraft, the Arthashastra, which dates to around the 4th century BC, while the first recorded use of the current English version came in 1884

Sex without love is an empty experience. But, as empty experiences go, it is one of the better. - Woody Allen

I don't want to be too serious but I think within that quote lies significant dangers to the western world. 

People feel like questioning equals being smart. Anyone with a conspiracy theory or who has listened to right wing or left wing radio or read some rubbish on the internet feels they are now equipped to take on all and sundry and to fight the consensus opinion. 

The internet has decreased rather than increased trust in the educated and scientific as there is so much noise going back and forward.

If someone objects to questions it may be because they feel the person is tilting at windmills - putting their feelings up against the hard work of actual scientists and other professionals who know what they are doing. Loud mouth politicians and others can confirm such prejudices and  tell people they are five times wiser than others just for asking a dumb question. Not talking about you or our previous climate discussion.
