The first sign of a decaying empire is degraded roads and also when the chemist devotes shelf space to fake eyelashes

This has to be one of the most ridiculous statements on this site today (and that's saying something given how many ridiculous statements land on this site). AND misogynist to boot. An even stronger sign of a decaying empire!!

And all this time, I thought those were little beards for men suffering from testicular alopecia.

That is an impressive selection. Where did you find these? 🙂

My daughter and her friends are not perfect but they are growing up to be strong, morally beautiful young women. I will advise them not to buy false lashes 😉

Dying population. Decreasing lifespan.
And endless wars.

Any one who buys any of these products is ridiculous.

Degraded roads might affect you personally. Someone else’s fake eyelashes surely would not. 😄
