I use English from the start. I can't really write in Dutch except for poetry and spoken word.

Roman law and Greek philosophy.

I've pointed out before in this thread this is just a heuristic with little value as an actual argument in specific cases.

I'm already done with my story to my surprise. Usually I need more pressure to finish it. Took me about 4 hours this time. Now I have to start tweakin...

That's dumb. Being in a loving relationship means your ego isn't in the way to say sorry when you make mistakes.

Watching it now but without watching it I already now pharma is not to be trusted.

You're just describing women. I don't see how you need a separate word for that... Best band ever because that whole genre is "meh".

a Karen?

So don't translate it? But it sounds like "spoiled" to me.

exactly, don't worry about it @"javi2541997", you can even use those "mistakes" to ground it better in a Spanish setting. I think consistency is more ...

The right to convince you Dumas is the best novellist ever. I think my aesthetic judgments are reasonably developed and as such I'm able to explain wh...

I reserve the right to try. Dumas is the greatest novelist ever. Your whimsical denial is duly ignored. :razz:

Anything similar to Joyce gets a 1. Now Dostoyevsky on the other hand will get fair marks but if you really want to kill it, write like Alexandre Duma...

But earlier I already established nobody here has any taste so I don't think that's a real risk. :yum:

your brother.

Or, we can't trust what Hamas says so their charter is irrelevant. Here is a Hamas leader saying they want to destroy Israel and we must trust what he...

Why isn't he here?

[ When Israel has an HRW report it's not relevant because the other side are animals because there are HRW reports saying so.

Yes, dumb Trump voters and the orangutan turn out to be a degenerative sub-species of homo erectus.

Just proves philosophers have no taste.

"Retaliation" implies "revenge", so already an interesting choice of words but not my words.

Sure. Then Israel also has no right to self-defence. We "liken" countries to individuals all the time as we conceptualise that they have rights. And t...

Does someone who commits assault have a right to retaliate when the victim strikes him, even when it's in his balls or a knife in his neck? It's the P...

You're starting to improve your thinking on this issue when at least you're comparing Assad and Israel and your only complaint is that not everybody c...

Goddammit man, use a smiley or something so we understand when you're getting cynical.

Ok, so what you're saying is "a very successful start if you ask Bibi"?

I think he's just overcompensating for the fact his name sounds like baby. Edit: probably too soon but shitty jokes is how I cope.

So a very successful operation if you ask Bibi.

Anybody else who at first thought that Georgia Meloni was the name of an adult actress instead of the PM of Italy?

Here's some other views on the conflict instead of the myopic western bullshit being peddled in this thread. South Africa https://www.dirco.gov.za/sou...

And between right and wrong.

I disagree. Public awareness and opinion do shape policy in the countries we live in and this is far more important than we think. The Israeli governm...

Except of course I actually know what I'm talking about: https://imeu.org/article/self-defense-or-provocation-israels-history-of-breaking-ceasefires I...

Stop wasting your time.

Crystal ball bullshit. Historically, IDF has broken more cease fires than Hamas. So if it's a matter of trust, I'd sooner deal with Hamas than Likud o...

A fantastical depiction of Palestinian and Jews in one sentence. Well done. Maybe start with the detail that what you just wrote is inherently contrad...

What question? The one where you display you're so emotionally stunted you cannot comprehend why other people care what happens to innocent people?

The fact you feel my post addressed you, says it all. I already pointed out your idiocy in an earlier post; which was hubris. You also get half of his...

The presumed supremacy of Western civilisation and the logical next step it should be defended by any means necessary. But you're right. Forget it. Do...

@"180 Proof" what do you make of the white supremacist movement rearing it's head through these unwitting jokers?

Oh, I definitely could. Maybe read up on the local history and understand how these monsters got into power instead of positing as if they are isolate...

Haha. :rofl: you really have no sense of history at all, do you?

:vomit:

certainly lowers the risk of contracting that form of insanity from the basket of deplorables that do attend these things.

Any idea how many right wing settlers will have to move to make that a realistic option? Because currently it's simply not physically viable.

I think that part refers to the memo of the Defense Attache and not the Israeli memo - so it would be a peace keeping force.

Reported yesterday in the Dutch newspapers (Google translate) : Israel uses “disproportionate force” in Gaza and deliberately attacks “civilian infras...

Plenty of evidence they wanted to get rid of Jews, which is what Balfour intended.

It's always funny when people think to tell me about Dutch history as if I'm ignorant of the history of my own country. You're confusing states with n...
