Yeah consonant and vowel shifts are hilarious, aren't they!
You bet! I was a very highbrow kid, apparently.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Hm, difficult. Who should be punished for what without completely undermining freedom of speech? The public can punish the movement by widthdrawing support. The whole pegida thing might now become even more of a looney fringe movement and lose the last bit of support in the ordinary population. The guys who ran around with the mock gallow display might get into more trouble because of it, but they are already being investigated, and the investigators threatened, and that investigated, before the attack. You're right. Knee jerk reaction not thought through.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

The actual action. Exact translation "done". Every german sentence needs this to make it work. Don't ask me about grammar. I never was any good when explaining that. I only know how to string words to form comprehensive sentences.

I know completely unprecedented.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Their idiot foot soldiers will do the dirty work for them.
Quote:Henriette Reker, an independent close to Merkel’s ruling Christian Democrats (CDU), suffered serious wounds to the neck in the attack in the western city of Cologne, which is to elect its mayor on Sunday, on Saturday morning.
Police arrested the attacker at the scene, with regional police chief Wolfgang Albers describing it as a political act linked to the fact that Reker was “responsible for taking charge of refugees” in the city, the fourth largest in Germany.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oc...te-stabbed The good news is that the attacker didn't use a gun. The bad news is that Reker was seriously injured, maybe to the point of death. But since she wasn't shot we won't be swamped with 24/7 news about how evil guns are. Even if she dies of her wounds it won't make the news here because she wasn't shot.

Only if they're accompanied by a heaping steamer in your britches.

Fyi, She just accepted her election as the new mayor, signing it in her hospital bed. I somehow doubt that she would be doing that right now if the guy had had a gun...

Man... Darth Vader was a dick.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

As always, I like to look at these situations not as isolated incidents but as symptoms of much larger issues. The rise of the far-right, these killings and the rise of anti-immigration sentiments are merely the result of the EU's suicidal policies. Everyone with a minimum of knowledge knows you can perfectly achieve the same with natives as you can with immigrants, so there aren't special benefits immigrants bring to society - Moreover, someone who is at least a bit rational knows perfectly that importing immigrants with care and picking who you want (like qualifications, background, etc.) is wise and should be promoted - Importing culturally incompatible rednecks is not, and Sweden is merely seeing the consequences of importing so many immigrants, specially Muslims.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
