Unfortunately, even the smart one thinks Kafka was a German. Only in America...

Dear CV,
That's not fair. I'm a smart American, and I know Pendejo Kafka was a Philippino.

Freekin shame there aren't any smart Europeans about to match up with your smart American person.

Seen the way we're diving headlong towards world war III with an ill thought out half forced union that's bound to blow up in our faces one day when the power crazy two lose control.

This is what she said:
"Soon after, in my childhood orgy of reading, chance led me to other German books, including Kafka's "In the Penal Colony",..."

It can be taken to mean "books written in German." In any case, Kafka was born in Prague, in what was then Austria (the Hapsburg Empire). He spoke German and he wrote in German (not in Czech). Strictly speaking, yes, he was not German. But in another sense, in terms of literary and philosophical tradition, he was.

Oh, so you read the piece?

The writer of the big brother was a Jewish bug!

(No offence to people with funny curls and black hat) Geez. You make funky fashion statements for two thousand years and wonder why people pick on you?

Speaking of Jews, I think it was Simon Wisenthal who said the Austrians (you know, big Arnie's folks), keep trying to convince the world that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German when, of course, the opposite is the truth.
