I have a question. Since this thread is supposedly about ancient river naming, does that mean there are new rivers in Croatia or middle-aged rivers that are named using a different method?

Your own comments and actions.

That and your dismal understanding of most any topic you comment on here.

There are Millennial Rivers?

Well, there are a few river names which make sense to those speaking Croatian, such as Rječina (literally "big river"), Mirna (literally "peaceful") or Mrežnica (from "mreža" meaning "net", presumably named because of the visual effect the rocks in it create). Such are very rare, though. The vast majority of Croatian river names make no sense to those speaking Croatian, and it's presumably because they are ancient (predating the Croatian language).

No, that’s not right. It’s that people tend to behave according to their what they perceive is in their own best interests.

So, Bryan Caplan in "The Myth of Rational Voter" is attacking a straw-man?

One has nothing to do with the other. Stupid question.

Boo. More denialism less irrelevant nonsense about bryan caplan. It looks to me like you're a coward who knows how their conspiracy theory is going to come off so you hem and haw and bullshit about anything else.

So far we've got the idea that "croatia" invented a war and fooled the entire world to get guns from the germans and the russians, to sell. Who's croatia. Who did They™ sell them to, and to what end?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well, consider that, if the Humane Slaughter Association is telling the truth, Srebrenica Genocide is not as tragic as it seems. In Srebrenica Genocide, thousands of people were buried alive. Being buried alive kills people via CO2 poisoning. Humane Slaughter Association maintains that being poisoned by CO2 is a humane way of dying (or even completely painless). That's why animals these days in slaughterhouses are mostly killed via CO2 poisoning. And if the Humane Slaughter Association is not telling the truth and getting poisoned by CO2 is a painful way to die... then again Srebrenica Genocide is not a big deal because it caused less suffering than slaughterhouses cause every single day.

There's a saying about 700 monkey's typing for 700 years eventually reproducing the works of Shakespeare. It would take just a few over a couple weeks to surpass the shit you spew.

Where did you get the notion that 'thousands of people were buried alive'? Stop making this bad faith attempt to justify a genocide.
