There are lessons to be learned here, particularly about that whole "democracy" thing that's supposed to save the world in time to get the kids ready for school and fix breakfast. Nathan Schransky, the left's new Bard of Democracy, should pay attention to this one; it's his country, after all.

Ага, что смеху, что кровищи.
 
that damn wall still stands there as if it's doing anything but humiliating thousands of Palestinians daily

...sorry, couldn't bring myself to read further. We DO live on different planets...
 
that should not prevent us from trying to find some neutral ground i hope :)
 
No, of course not.

It's a nice break in the weather, isn't it?

;)
 
i think we deserve it - after so much suffering :)
 
Claiming to live on a different planet from someone else is a clear indication of a limited worldview
 
Vlad - the immigrant joke. "Do you have another globe?"
 
> the immigrant joke

and pretty old one too, Joe :) It runs somewhat longer, but cut down the way you did it still preserve the essense :)
 
or is it "cut off"?

Sure, the same way that someone who, when faced with a real world and a fantasy world, limits himself to the real world, can be said to have a limited worldview.
 
Well, I admit sniping bsck snd forth has been kinda fun, but it's getting stale. Care to have an actual debate? You can start by overcoming that mental allergy of yours and reading my piece. It's short, and it contains some actual arguments, which you can respond to with counterarguments. I apologize if you already have a basic grasp of this "debate" thing - though, so far, you've given no indication of any such understanding. My advice? take it slow at first. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. If you want to have it offsite, my email is aodzen@removethispart.gmail.com

PS - my father, having the benefit of age to cool his temper, is inclined to regard deliberate hostility and boorishness with bemusement rather than annoyance. I am simply not that cool yet. If you feel the need to troll in the future, please direct all flames to the above adress. My father has enough static in his life as it is.

Пусть будет, как будет,
ведь как-нибудь да будет,
никогда так не было,
чтобы никак не было.

Impredicative: Definitions about a set which depend on the entire set.

Если жизнь протекает хорошо,
значит, она дала трещину.

В действительности все совсем не так, как на самом деле.
