Hey, what kinda Commie propaganda you tryin' to spread there, buddy? Isn't that from Das Kapital?
That's nothing new, nor do they limit their targets to Christians. I know this because I've heard about it from my dentist--an Iraqi Jew who fled the country ~30 years ago.
I guess somebody needs to go back to madrassa and review the bits about showing respect for the Peoples of the Book, eh.
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
I don't see anything in there specifying *nuclear* force, do you?
Now it's true that Item 5 from the same list is "Refrain from use of nuclear arms against Ukraine" but I think it's pretty clear from the context that this is *not* intended to mean "Refrain from use of nuclear arms against Ukraine [but other forms of armament are fine]".
Typical corporate behavior - lobby incessantly against regulation but when caught in blatant malfeasance shirk accountability with the excuse "it may be unethical but it is not illegal"
It's more like, "If we ask, we know that we'll be told it's illegal. Therefore, we won't ask."
You fly into a Malaysian airport with dope--that's trafficking. Better hope you can bribe the hangman well enough that he actually makes the rope long enough to break your neck.
But don't take my word for it--try it yourself with a small amount and let us know how that works out for you.
The rumours weren't transmitted more or less instantly all over town, and it had to be done by voice (face-to-face), written note, or landline telephone, all three of which communication methods were much more likely to be overheard or intercepted by parents/teachers.
The Hurd... may not be ready for production use, as there are still some bugs and missing features. However, it should be a good base for further development and non-critical application usage.
I guess it's because I left the States before mobiles really took off, but it wasn't until a trip back a couple of years ago that I started to understand the situation--the telcos have done a very good job of enforcing an integrated-vertical/everything-as-a-service model there.
But that's not how it works here (Stockholm). I do happen to have a subscription, basically because it's more convenient and I get a free phone every 2 years for signing up again. But it is entirely possible for you to get a late-model phone made by any of the major manufacturers and working service without talking to anyone at a telco. You can walk into just about any big electronics retailer like MediaMarkt or ElGiganten (or even some of the smaller outfits like TeknikMagasinet or Kjell&Co), buy whatever phone you like, then stop off at the Pressbyrån or 7-11 next to the T-bana station on your way home from the shop and buy a prepaid SIM for it. And I've friends who do just that.
You'll find it on buses and trains in a lot of European cities.
But not in Stockholm, which I think is a bit odd.
OTOH, cheap plans with ample mobile data are readily available here, and even if you can't always get 3G the bandwidth is still pretty good, even in the subway--they apparently have repeaters installed in the tunnels.

That'll work only if it really, truly wants to change.
I would mod the GP +1 Interesting, and your post -1 Redundant.
Back away from it a little more.
Got any epicanthic folds on you?
No, but some of my friends here in Sweden with significant Finnish and/or Lapp ancestry do.
I can very possibly just fix that for ya...
It mostly depends on just how awesome the first generation of kids from gay marriages turn out to be.
See? I can do the "frame the question in such a way as to prejudice the response" thing, too.

TFTFY.

The first 3 terms of the agreement are:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty within its existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine in order to influence its politics.
I don't see anything in there specifying *nuclear* force, do you?

Perish the thought that I should be seen agreeing with coldfjord about anything, but... Fuck that.
He remembered a little history, and got it spot on, this time.
Spot. Fucking. On.
I would even mod this up, had I not already spent my points in another thread this morning.

It's more like, "If we ask, we know that we'll be told it's illegal. Therefore, we won't ask."
Intruder is saying he already had the right to break into the house. No need to ask for permission.
That's right. He owns the house. And guess what. A landlord can go into your apartment without your permission also.
That's not quite how it has worked in in my experience as a renter in the US, Australia, and Sweden.
I see we've had a visit from someone with mod points and without a sarcasm detector. Sorry about that, AC.
Dammit, kids, some of us have to get up in the morning and go to work.
Any more noise from the basement and I'm coming down there to knock your heads together.
Aren't you happy to know that you're not flaming some fake Zontar?

Right, because you were in the cabin with him all that time.

He's got 1 whole digit more than you. You've 2 more than someone else I know.
You can put the e-peen away now.
Nice try, but the captain has been flying commercial jets since the early 1980s, according to the BBC.

So, no, it hasn't, not really.

You showed him how to close, but not how to resize or to minimise?

Merely claiming "A is just like B" does not a valid analogy make.
