This merely reinforces my long-held belief that nationalism is by far the worst and most dangerous "ism" of them all.
Because, seriously, who the f$@k cares what happened 50, 100, 150, 500, 1,000 years ago? What the hell does it matter if someone's great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather stole land from someone else's great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather back in the days of the High and Mighty Karplaxian Empire?
It. Does. Not. Matter.
Now, granted, the Kosovo-Serbia thing is recent and it is understandable for there to be bad blood from the recent troubles, but to mutually condemn beauty pageant contestants over a frickin' photograph and accuse them of treason? This stuff is just so purely juvenile and asinine, it makes me wonder how the hell we evolved out of the tree-climbing, poo-flinging stage of primate history.
At least Miss Kosovo has the sense to reject this petty nonsense.
