Some mind-boggling pseudo-historical nonsense going on in this thread. @ATP's claim that Jews decided that "anti-Semitism" refers only to Jews is bullshit. As in: the complete opposite of the truth! The phrase antisemitische Vorurteile ("anti-Semitic biases") was first used in 1860, indeed...

Dutchman here. Can confirm. :p

Demonstrable bullshit. The Netherlands are known for being a tax haven, albeit one that isn't obvious about it. If a billionaire is exceedingly stupid, he'd have to pay that official percentage. If he puts his money in a fund or a corporation, however, he pays less than half a percent. Which is...

This is why old mr. Cohen, back in the day, found plenty of people willing to shelter his family. And after the war, when he had to rebuild his shop from nothing, the people in the neighbourhood helped him in the way that they knew wouldn't rob him of his dignity-- not with hand-outs, but by...

Not only that, but the value of labour would go up. The main reason the globalist plutocrats support mass migration isn't that they actually agree with left-wing bullshit so fervently, but rather that an endless influx of cheap foreign labour means they can tell the workers "Fuck you: ten other...

You do understand that it's a commercial made for an American audience, aired during an American sporting event, right? (Of course, it's not a very complex commercial, either. I'm not American, I know next to nothing about the sport, but I still understood it...)

Here's a slightly less overly intricate take. And guess what? It works both ways. Version 1: Version 2: And yes, that's what every thread relating to Ukraine and/or Russia looks like, to anyone who isn't you two inveterate bitchfighting addicts. :ROFLMAO: Really-- the two of you should...

Jefferson, a Virginian, put the condemnation of the slave trade in the Declaration of Independence. Richard Lee, a Virginian, is the one who brought the resolution to declare independence in the first place. South Carolina and Georgia wanted the passage condemning the slave trade removed, not...

You're not willing to face that you're either a hypocrite or a nanny-stater, and that answering a simple question would reveal this instantly. Very well, I accept your concession of defeat and submission.

Still dodging the question. The person travelling makes the decision to secure his luggage or not, that person is sentient. So answer me, which you haven't done yet: Should it be mandatory to secure any luggage in your car? Should that be forced by the government, too? Tell us, please. Are...

So are you in favour of making non-secured luggage in cars illegal, or are you a hypocrite with double standards? Please answer directly instead constantly dodging the point. I have my own chickens. Never checked. Government doesn't even know they exist. Same goes for about every other family...

That is no sensible argument, unless you wish to ban unsecured luggage in cars, on the basis of legal parity. If not, you're defending a double standard, which is inherently illogical. (And, when referencing restrictions of freedom, also inherently immoral.) Incidentally, when are you banning...

You're not presenting an argument here. You're saying "it is the way it is because it is the way it is, don't expect it to be otherwise, because it's like it is." That's recursive. My point is that there's a good reason for health inspections and standards, but no good reason for those being...

What are you talking about? Just use common sense here. If people want to buy something, they can. And food controls are fine. There should be a label for that. And you should be free to decide whether you want to buy food with that label... or whether you want to buy something unlabeled "at...

HANS? DER FLAMMENWERFER! SOFORT!

It was easy for Rome to integrate the concepts, because of their cultural ideal of the citizen-soldier. The armed freeholders who constituted both the body politic and the corpus of the military formed the backbone of the Republic, and later of the Empire.

Bowing before Glasgow Man is suicide. You back away slowly from Glasgow Man, while making no sudden movements.

It's not that depressing, when you consider the full implications. As the story goes: The king called his magi to him, and asked of them to craft him a thing that would make him sad when he was happy, and happy when he was sad. And so they pondered, and they toiled, and at long last returned...

Scarily realistic. Heartwarmingly realistic. ------------------- Ah, you retained hope for the intellectual capacities of the great masses! That is always a mistake. The great majority believe whatever opinion they last heard expressed with some degree of conviction, within the cadre of...

At this point, I'm getting pretty convinced that you're trolling. I've explained what the issue is; what philosophies the Protestants (re-)introduced and (re-)invented, and how those philosophies -- not their theology -- are the problem. Still, you fixate on "but they are Chistians, and others...
