Andrew's got plenty of access at home

I think Russia would do rather well out of that arrangement

not even a good rock

if you read the article he's planing on seeking them by diplomatic means. I predict the UK government will just say no and that will be the end of it

I'm chosing to add a coma between heath ledger and joker there because it's way funnier

they even say Hitler had an economic miracle because he solved unemployment by no longer counting women and minorities as unemployed and also drafting people

well at least he has someone in the family sticking up for him. That's not nothing

Hitler didn't bewitch Germany he merely took advantage of the latent issues within German society

it's like how drink doesn't bring out anything that isn't there already

does he think the thing that caused the Israel Palestine conflict was bike lanes

it's a figure of speach

I don't think Paul's usage was especially anti-semitic except in so far as he was becoming a different religion to Judaism. He wasn't saying it is bad to be circumcised he was saying that it is wrong to say that Christians are expected to become circumcised

in the very same letter Paul says "I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! " ... "do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. " (other branches here refers to non Christian Jews)

so he clearly wasn't intending to advocate for religious oppression of the Jews and at the time of writing Christian oppression of Jews wouldn't have occured to him or the audience as a remote possibility given how far Christianity was from political power at that point in history

if someone in a modern context however used it to criticise Judaism as immoral it would then be anti-semitic but that would also for the reasons I mentioned be an interpretation in conflict with the context

well they are in the UN so I'm not the only one to think they are a country

Also I don't understand why we are calling them not a country it doesn't make any difference to anything call them a bloody cup if you want it doesn't change the reality of the situation that they are a settler colonialist state built on theft and murder

Oh that's my bad I sincerely apologise I was only familiar with it from St Paul's condemnation of circumcision

they have land, an army, and a governing bureacracy to my mind that makes them a country

they are objectively a country they aren't a country with any moral legitimacy but they clearly are a country

slogan "what have you got to loose"

it's worse than that it's all spelt according to the rules of the language we nicked it from. A greek word follows greek rules. As long as the grammer remains Germanic, English is capable of absorbing any word. Some day we will meet aliens and absorb their words into English

The Chinese have done well with making logographic writing accessible to the masses

when the speakers of Germanic languages were huddled together in mud huts Egypt was a great empire

not even going to elaborate on the obvious brainworms contained in the idea that English speakers are more human than others
