    why, if I may ask? It makes no fucking sense at all. And in fact what she was saying is not to tale ZB as example but any other of the guys who code but aren't rock stars, and if you haven't noticed yet this means a fuckload of Indians of several skin tones and shitload of Asians... and yes, some Europeans too (I mean inhabitants of Europe not 'white USians').

    In both, Holland and France jokes about Belgian are immensely popular.

    Here a couple (left in vernacular language:

    Wat is het verschil tussen een Belg en een frikandel?
    In een frikandel zitten echte hersens.

    Een Belg komt in een bibliotheek in België en vraagt aan de bieb mevrouw waar de boeken staan van slimme belgen. De mevrouw: "Fantasieverhalen staan onderaan!"

    Well, the Belgians on their side only tell one thing about the Dutch... it's not a joke but sad truth:

    The Dutch are people who only drink pils and in plastic glasses

    Well, that's not completely true, but sad for my landsmen and landsladies :_(

    May I make you note that Vlanderen is only ONE of the provinces of Belgium? And while te Dutch don't care if you call them all "Hollanders" and the country "Holland". The Belgian, on the other hand, DO bother if you call the country "Flanders", to such extent actually, that they are just now as we speak at the edge of dividing the country in two. If you aren't informed: They speak wo very different languages: Dutch (well, Vlaams) and French. And there are even a few ultra-nationalistic right wing parties aimed exclusively at splitting the country (oh, well, and get rid of the moroccans too). Groeten vanuit het Echte Holland, namelijk Noord-Holland (niet dat Zuid-Holland niet echt is, ik bedoel dat dat wel 'Holland' is, toch?)

  8. Re:I'm so shocked... on Trillions of Plastic Pieces May Be Trapped In Arctic Ice · · Score: 1

    Well, I am quite surprised by what kind of utter moron would misinterpret what is written in this phrase.
    It's a literary expression, for fucks sake. It means: "there was stuff that in theory should not be there".
    BUT, what happens is that some people do not understand that an article in a magazine talking about a research paper IS NOT the research paper itself. And they also fail to recall that there was a group of people who was sent to the very ass of the world at temperatures below zero jut to poke holes into the ground and freeze their balls and tits in the process to get these samples and that a lot of other people bored the hell out of themselves just to get the data. AND that all this stuff was published in a paper.
    The problem is that some idiots think that Science is a guy/chick sitting on a chair and figuring out some nice phrases or cool theories, just for the sake of it. That's actually the same type of people who loves to post savvy quotes from Einstein about the Internet.
    Normally in the past they would have no other choice than to shut up and no other public than the few fellows in the local pub or church... but now they have the internet and feel the necessity of letting us know they exist.
    What a waste of biomass and resources with 7 billion of humans on this planet, what a waste.

    Aaah, you are absolutely right; climate models are evil, they will cause the ruin of modern society if we don't do anything quick. Last Friday one of these climate models hijacked a plane and devoured all the passenger, alive and if this wasn't enough atrocity he then proceeded to TAX THEM!!! OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!

    The change in elevation is due to two causes: A) when people in the past wanted to build a new hose they tore down the old and used it to fill the foundations. B) The river PO periodically flooded Rome and remember that big parts of the city were abandoned for many centuries. I don't know how you come to the idea that humans may let dirt and mud accumulate in their houses and buildings. AFAIK the Romans also new how to use a broom, don't you agree?

    Well the difference is that this "thrash" was mostly broken bricks and dirt (as in mud) filling the space occupied by houses. Thrash was disposed for centuries in holes , sometimes to fill in old and dry wells. Organic stuff broke apart easily so that even the thrash of these groves isn't more than a few shards of ceramics and minute pieces of bones. But we are not talking about the type of stuff we have today like plastics.

  21. Always the Brits on UK May Kill the EU's Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 1

    The actual crisis in the EU is greatly thanks to the Brits: Had the RBS not acquired our ABN Amro they would have surely been able to cope with their debts during the US credit crisis and damage would have been limited.

    As for the Spanish real estate bubble, this was iniciated in a great part by the Brits and British banks buying and speculating with Spanish real estate in the costa driving prices up...

    I have direct experience on both as I was working for the RBS during the financial crisis and also living in Spain during the bubble.

    The whole situation of the European Union, that is nowadays nothing more than a finance-driven monster is a result of decades of pleasing the British, starting with Maggy Thatcher torpedoing any initiative that would have led to a better social infrastructure and therefore a mayor and better participation of the citizen of the involved countries in the EU and continuing in the same way until now.

    They did however not veto the entry of Bulgaria and Romania two countries that nobody really knows what the fuck they are doing in the EU.

    They are the mayor cause for the EU policy towards Russia as The City's banks host a large amount of cash of dubious origin taken out of their countries by the oligarchs.

    And with regards to PI, guess who has the biggest interests and the biggest PI lobbies? You got it.

    And if they at least had the decency to shut the fuck up. But no:

    They British mob is constantly bitching about the EU, spitting out crap like "give us back our country" and playing the anti-European. Until now the British governments have been using this as a way of forcing the rest of the EU to play to their rules... but now they have overplayed their hand and this idiot Nigel Farage seems to be on the rise. Good so.

    I just hope this guy becomes PM and takes England, Whales and Northern Ireland out of the EU (Scotland will be independent for then, Go Scots!) and this way we will have won three beautiful achievements:

    1) Not having to listen anymore to the Brits crying and bitching about how the rest of the world is guilty of their own fuck ups
    2) A better EU were we the citizen have something to say and can live in pace and privacy
    3) Schadenfreude when the British mobs suddenly realises in their own pockets when they have to start paying dutys again.

    Go Farage!!! Do us all a favour , Europe deserves better.
