Ars longa, vita brevis.

Так вот я и сомневаюсь что поймут.

From:

Tell you what — we urgently need to abolish Article V of the US Constitution as it allows for and spells out the way Sharia can be introduced in the US.

From:

Вы об этом?

Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

Если да, то что я могу сказать? Любой может использовать даже такую полезную и простую вещь как бельевая веревка для самоубийства. То же относится и к государствам.

From:

So what are you so upset about?

From:

I'm sad to see such countries as France or Netherlands ruined, that's all.

From:

I've been to both of them quite recently, and I haven't found them any more ruined than this country.

From:

Some people waxed rhapsodics about Stalin's USSR and Hitler's Germany, too.

From:

And some didn't. What's your point? Or are you just following the good old Usenet tradition of throwing Hitler's name into the discussion every now and then?

From:

I didn't realize we were having a discussion here. I have nothing to discuss in this matter.

From:

I kinda hoped to find out why a justice minister's note about a democratic process was more upsetting to you than an article in the Constitution that states pretty much the same thing. Oh well…

From:

Oh, that. I'm not upset about the process. I'm upset that such a possibility is even considered. You can call it another example to a whole 'voluntary slavery - yes or no' question.

From:

What possibility? That constitutionally mandated majority might not have the same views as you do?

From:

If 75% of Dutchmen want the Sharia they should have it. If 75% of Dutchmen do not want to allow Muslims into the country they should have that, also. Why not?

From:

Certainly. Everyone deserves the hell they deserve. I'm upset that there is even such an 'if'.

From:

Why? 75% of Dutchmen wanting to live under Shariat are no different than 75% of Ethiopians wanting the same thing. Do the Ethiopians upset you?

From:

Nope. :) Probably because I don't know a thing about its history and/or culture.

From:

Me neither. Well, I do know a few things:
1. No nuts in cooking!!!!!!!!! Love Ethiopian restaurants!!!!!!!!!
2. Cool sour flat bread. See above about restaurants.
3. Starvation. Not cool. Might explain all the Ethiopian restaurants in California. If it's good enough for the Irish...
4. Jews. Weird ones. Make cool sour bread. Moved to Israel. Now Israel has cool sour bread.
5. Moslems. All over. 50% of the population.
6. AIDS. Ditto.
7. E-mail scams. Ditto.
8. Female circumcision.
8. Oddly enough refugees FROM other countries. Go figure.

From:

I like this summarization. Well, it probably explains why I'm not all that concerned about it (although I have to try this sour bread!). :)

From:

If you get the chance try their version of the steak tartare. They serve it at body temperature and add a lot of aromatic herbs, so you get the feeling of eating a live, fragnant, infinitely tender, loving, and accepting cow.

From:

(makes a face) Never liked it at the first place...

From:

Me neither, until I tried this version. Normally I like my raw beef in one piece.

From:

Normally I don't like it raw at all. Some bad experience + medical education... :)
