Claiming that war begins & ends with guns as you have is rank ignorance and outright idiocy.
You are yet again amazed by the insights of everyone who, unlike you, is able to learn from history... Another sign confirming that you are unable to see beyond your prejudices.
Ah, a sophist... The Albigensian Crusade was almost exclusively a French affair led militarily by the French crown against Terror^H^H^H^H^H^H religious opposition to the state religion. The main military forces were marshaled in Lyon & campaigned almost exclusively north of the Pyrenées, all areas part of modern day France. I'll cede that he did not hold the rank of General but calling a man with a primary civil allegiance to the french crown French is no more a stretch than "Nos ancêtres les Gaulois" which was taught to our children for over a century.
I don't know about Spain but in France, the Taxis want nothing less than for Uber to be outlawed plain & simple.
Their reasoning is that: - In France, everyone MUST buy a Medallion to be a legal Taxi & to pick people up off the street. - The number of Medallions is limited, the Medallions are thus very expensive (North of 200K€ a few years ago). It wasn't this way a few decades ago but local governments were pressured into not expanding the number of medallions for diverse reasons, among them older drivers wanting to have something to cash out on when they retired & younger drivers not wanting "their investment" to diminish in value. - This is France, where it most of the population thinks it's normal for tiny entrenched minorities to hold the rest of the population hostage. - MUST FIGHT DIRTY AMERICAN CAPITALISTS!!! If Uber drivers & clients get roughed up, well remember that "Kill them all, God will sort out the inocents" was uttered by a French general.
Ta gueule le snobinard! Cherches un peu avant de tenter de toiser quelqu'un. Enfin, vu que mon pays, la France, -- pays du déclaration des droits de l'homme à passé une loi d'autorisation des écoutes dont rêverait le NSA tellement il donne des droits d'écoute sans contrôle, j'attendrai une décision demandant le blockage des écoutes du DGSE (et son implémentation) avant de crier victoire.
Maintenant on verra si tu es aussi européenne que tu prétends être...
Though some US judges have included extracts of EU decisions in their rulings, it is for the reasoning & not because EU courts have any role in the US judicial system. This ruling will have as much effect on the US as rulings from the Thai high court on the definition of Lèse Magisté or Russian court rulings on what is & what isn't considered corruption.
You have surrendered your critical thought in order to pledge allegiance to your extremist screed & I still have mine, so no, I do not understand when you fall back on your self-referential leftist creed.
You espouse extremist political views that directly led to the deaths of hundreds of millions over the past century yet it is my beliefs (and those of everybody else who isn't an extremist like you) that is "hateful"?
Again, you're schizophrenic. You cannot overcome your mental problems until you recognize that you are sick & blaming others for your problems will only postpone it.
Do I listen to someone who has admitted to not caring for the welfare of the vast majority of people? I believe this thread proves it. Do I believe anything you say when you recite from the leftist playbook? No.
What I see is fringe idiots yet again screaming "DANGER! DANGER! RUN THAT WAY!" hoping that "the herd" runs blindly over a cliff so that they can profit from the death of current herd leaders. It has worked before & those who refuse to examine history may fall into your trap. I, however see through your attempts at perform the same mindless trick & denounce you for it.
When extremists call everyone else "one sided and biased" you know that they have drunk the kool-aid and no longer have any contact with reality whatsoever. The basis of being a centrist is not to close your eyes and mind to ideas as you do but to leave yourself open to ideas and evaluate which are worthwhile & which are self serving bullshit.
Yeah, yeah all info that doesn't fall into your narrow mindset is Propaganda, while you and the other fringies have somehow made the old leftist lies shiny & new. Seen it before, recognise it for the crap that destroyed nation after nation & will not be hoodwinked.
Ah the extremists, always willing to sacrifice someone else's life and happiness in order to further their short term objectives. All it takes is a holier than thou attitude to sacrifice everyone else on the alter of your own ambition -- you pretend that that it is all for the global good but deep down you know it it is merely to a long-term bid to seize riches & power for yourselves as history has proven time after time after time after time. It's either that or you are a fool incapable of looking more than one step ahead.
As a citizen of Europe, it is MY government that is handing over yet more billions to bail out Greece's refusal to tax its population & bloated bureaucracy again. It is real money that will have to be paid out of my pockets or more probably that of my children & grandchildren through a reduction in the capability of my state to finance things that would benefit us. Your arguments that it is fake money are intellectual puffery empty of meaning.
I'm actually a centrist disgusted by both the far left & the far right (who often work together as they do within Syriza).
Yeah, yeah, we're all sheep because we see through the candy coating you are attempting to sell to the excrement inside. Not our fault, make someone else pay turns into everyone (except for the new rulers) is poor. As long as the new rulers give lip service to being anti-capitalist you dipshits don't care.
I suppose that you are referring to Tsipiras now that he has seen the error of your leftist "Resist at all costs" crap. The only way the extreme left reduces inequality is by insuring that all are poor as dirt.
The only grand larceny attempted was the Greek attempt at defrauding the rest of Europe. Funny how even Tsipiras has completely renounced your positions in his acts once he went through a week of no banks & realised that his bluff was going to be called. The Greeks don't burn the banks because deep down they know that they were at fault & now know that will be held to their promises or excluded from the Euro.
I can see how difficult it is for you to come to terms with reality. Coming to grips with personal & collective responsibility is always so hard for the orthodox leftists. It's always someone else's fault for you.
So how about you answer my post where I explained in depth why Rocket Labs will never launch to ISS from NZ. Ah, I forgot, you're a twee kiwi twit incapable of reasoning.

"Abominable Austerity?" Apparently it looks really really good to Tsipiras now.
Until the middle of last week the Tsipiras & their Economy Minister were claiming that everyone when called for the Greeks to respect their word & follow through on the reforms that they promised to implement _years_ ago were fascists. Supposedly, it is sufficient to vote for a populist that claims he can suspend economic realities like a bloated inefficient civil service & almost universal tax fraud for all problems to evaporate. Creditors who refuse to sign yet another blank check for a truant population and a government that does not respect it's word were saddled with #ThisIsACoup.
Tsipiras has now had a taste of the how Greece would fare without continued international support blinked and performed a 180, giving in to conditions that he had rejected previously. I give him credit for more wisdom & less stupid pride than he has displayed up to now, too bad he had to waste months and billions more. It remains to be seen if the rest of the Greek legislators are able to swallow their pride & implement the reforms that condition continued international support. Greece needs unanimous acceptance by the rest of Europe for this third bailout to be effective. Any more of the grandstanding and idiotic positions by the Greeks will cause the votes in the rest of Europe to fail.
So, who is it that has his wires crossed? Me, who has been saying accept the conditions or exit the Euro, Tsipiras who was elected on one agenda & is now following mine or yours which even Tsipiras has renounced?
So, it's the Dutch AC's fault for lending money to the Greeks. It's his dirty money that paid the greeks salary & kept the Greek banks solvent. Indeed it's the Dutchman's fault that the Greeks falsified their way into a debtor's pit.
You're not calling for anyone to give anything, you just want the Greeks to never pay back the money they were loaned on condition that it be paid back... Nope that's not asking for anyone to give anything, nope... It's just bare faced theft.
As for cultural programming, apparently for you anyone with capitol needs to be stripped of it so that you and your fellow leftists can find "better" things to do with it -- all this without being able to claim that this spoliation is unjust -- because your cultural programming says so.
So, by placing an ad for a babysitter in a rural newspaper for babysitters in an area where there are no minorities is for you a racist act excluding inner city minority girls. After all by only placing it in a rural newspaper it is targeting only whites...
Word fail me that you are convinced that every act can be considered racist. Hey, you're posting here on slashdot. The majority of readers are white & male. You're sexist & racist!
That you would ask for proof when it is common knowledge that advertising is massively skewed towards women exposes your total ignorance of the subject.
Ahh Ultranova, the tireless warrior who fights against perceived social injustices... Care to give proof that the ad pool size that Google uses to select ads is the same for men & women? Without it the study is meaningless.
Slashdot Mirror
This would be ideal! If we prevent all the guns from firing, no more war!
You're a blithering idiot who claimed that guns == war and now trying to backpedal. My prejudices are against blithering idiots.
Arguing against war isn't stupidity.
Claiming that war begins & ends with guns as you have is rank ignorance and outright idiocy.
You are yet again amazed by the insights of everyone who, unlike you, is able to learn from history... Another sign confirming that you are unable to see beyond your prejudices.
It takes a while but you do eventually give up arguing your stupidities...

Ah, an ignorant AC, SUCH a surprise... There are no treaties that make US law subservient to EU (or UK) courts concerning "privacy rights".
The decision only affects the EU!
Though some US judges have included extracts of EU decisions in their rulings, it is for the reasoning & not because EU courts have any role in the US judicial system.

Isolating the Iranians certainly did put a crimp on their adventurism, whether or not you think that that is a good thing or not.
