A republic can also be undemocratic (Zimbabwe, Soviet Union). There are democracies that are not republics (Britain, Sweden). The two concepts are, as you point out, not mutually exclusive as GP seems to think - they're not even on the same axis. You can draw a 2 x 2 grid and find examples in each cell.
However, it's unfortunate that we can't take full credit since he's a new immigrant and likely wasn't a citizen yet.
Maybe you read it somewhere else, but the linked article in the Groaniad doesn't say.
It also doesn't mention what colour he is, so we can safely conclude he isn't white.
Please explain how job description also assures ignorance.
Should be article in sentence somewhere.
What proof do you have that a given career equates to being able to automatically assume someone's cluefulness level about a give subject?
Even if you insert "having" before "a given career", it's ambiguous as to exactly whose career you mean.
And that should be "given", not "give".
You mean, after he reads the radioactive waste YOU post?
At least I confine myself to using words that actually exist.
If I post total shit, then what's the rest of Slashdot?
False dichotomy. Logically, your posts being shit and the rest of slashdot being shit are not mutually exclusive. Empirically, both appear to be true. Epigrammatically, 90% of anything is shit.
I've gotten compliments on what I've written before
5th grade doesn't count, no matter how many years you spent in it.
We tried that here in the dear old United Britain of Limeyland. Given the current crop of hoodies and chavs it appears that we lost. Maybe we were fighting on too many fronts at the same time.
But if you have any sense at all and you don't know for sure that you know what you're talking about, wouldn't you run it by someone who does know what he's talking about before talking about it in public?
since it makes no mention of the resurrection, which is a central part of Christian belief."
How can anybody tell from such poor scans? There's a brownish colour cast, the text is all wobbly and the contrast is way too low. I couldn't read a bloody word of it.
I find (3) baffling, and I believe most American English speakers agree.
I find it baffling too, and I speak proper English, as in the original genuine article like what Her Majesty speaks to Phil the Greek up at the palace.
Which dialect do you think your phrase comes from?
They are "making a stand" against CP? CP gives them an erection? By the powers vested in me by badly-dressed dole-scroungers waving ungrammatical placards I find them guilty of being paedOphiles.
The daughter is a minor, so presumably she's regarded as under the mother's control and the mother would be considered legally responsible for the child's actions.

Barman! Two beers over here, please.
... to Portugal? And if you get the opportunity, can you bring me back a bottle? No, not of sherry.

How about cow poo? Cow poo is probably worse:
- Low energy density.
- Slow and mostly invariant energy release via intermediate substances.
- Smells. Smells like poo.
A closely related substance does have one major advantage - it's apparently available in virtually infinite quantities.
Google for "blue on blue". You bounders seem to hit more of our chaps in the gulf than the bally camel jockeys do.
If it had been in England, the police would have shot some Brazilian guy who was nothing at all to do with it.
Boobies. Works for some adults too. So they say.

If he can read the shite you post, would he need anything else?
I dunno ... ummm ... depends - is the product made of wood?
On the basis of that case alone, you're out by a factor of four; it would be two in fifty million.
But still a long way from the kiddy-diddler-behind-every-tree scenario the tabloids might have us believe.
Since when have 12 year old kids been allowed to drink or drive?

They wouldn't bother - they'd just make it up like they do with the rest of science. And history.
And when they shut giganews down?
I'm assuming they aren't hosted in Khazakijistan or the Bongo Islands.
They are "making a stand" against CP? CP gives them an erection? By the powers vested in me by badly-dressed dole-scroungers waving ungrammatical placards I find them guilty of being paedOphiles.
Say what?
The daughter is a minor, so presumably she's regarded as under the mother's control and the mother would be considered legally responsible for the child's actions.
So the mother should in fact be suing herself.
I'll have you know, my good man, that not all of slashdot's readers are American.
There is, however, only one word for WHOOOSH.
You can't really be sure of that, can you?
