It's the 6th here, so won't be making plans that weekend...

Who's Gordon?

I dunno about shallowness, or being loudmouthed. Mostly harmless seems more fitting to me

Weird to see a forum progress...One would almost become melancholic.

[QUOTE=C Elegans]

consistenly using "gaming" and "simulation" as if they were interchangable. That's just like claiming an instruction video on how to perform psychotherapy or a surgery, is equal to any entertainment movie.

Pathetic.[/QUOTE]

I left my copy of the economist in the train, but I ...

[QUOTE=Luis Antonio]Goddess no! I mean that if the english responsible for justice tells that this is ok, and these policeman have done that with racist intention it'll be turning the scotland yard into a new KKK. As I said in other posts, I believe the S Y. Now please, read the previous posts again ...

[QUOTE=The Z]Was the offense involuntary or voluntary manslaughter?

Involuntary
A murder committed while in the act of something unlawful but does not amount to a felony. A murder committed in a dangerous act that is done recklessly and without regard for human life.

Voluntary
A murder committed ...

[QUOTE=Luis Antonio]@ Audace: Are you implying I cant express my opinion? I'm not advertizing the KKK, I'm doing exactly the opposite. Now, if you dont want to discuss, ok. Just dont start this UFO thing, that looks far more like trolling to me than the KKK being mentioned. And its spam.[/QUOTE ...

[QUOTE=CM]No. Why? Because the aim was not to kill him. 5 bullets to the head and torso - there is only one final outcome.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=CM]
But at the end of the day both violate human rights and national laws. Murder is murder.[/QUOTE]

Accidents happen.

The tone of this thread is the most repulsive off all in my opinion.

You can't rationalize split second decisions. You can only train on them. Maybe they weren't trained well enough. Then discuss that. Maybe they did kill an innocent guy out of misplaced feelings of revenge ...

[QUOTE=CM]Incorrect. Like i said before you changed track when you called on me directly:
and...
In both cases you called on me specifically to comment on matters which are not subjects of this discussion and at the same time you made it personal.[/QUOTE]

I'll stop debating this and...

[QUOTE=CM ...

[QUOTE=CM]Audace this thread was originally about the actions of Belgium. Not the regimes in the Islamic world. The change of track was started when you asked me to comment as harshly on Islamic countries. Honestly the regimes of the Islamic world are not the subject of the thread and have not been ...

[QUOTE=CM]Audace you say you are an old member but don't post much and yet you say that you would like me to hold the Islamic world to a higher standard. That of course is a contradiction, for if you have read my views on the matter you would see it.[/QUOTE]

Well appearantly I don't and again I can ...

[QUOTE=CM]Oddly enough that is not how BBC reported it. I guess they were wrong. [/QUOTE]

Either the BBC is or you are. We had two elections in half a year prior to this cabinet. But I'm not gonna write an essay about it.

My comment was respectfully with regard to your accusation that ...

[QUOTE=CM]The issue is not legislation, rather it is the platform on which the parties were elected. They were elected on anti-muslim sentiments.[/QUOTE]

No they weren't. Please get your facts straight. Or just don't mention Dutch internal politics.


[QUOTE=CM]
Audace as you are new, please read ...

[QUOTE=CM]
Racist (far right) is pretty easy. Austria, Holland and Denmark all have far right parties in power which have gained their votes on anti-muslim sentiments.[/QUOTE]

Can't speak for Austria and Denmark, but in Holland we have a center-right government. The smallest coalitian partner is ...

[QUOTE=CM]Right. The fact that in france, germany, denmark et al. the religious freedom of muslims is stifled because it is not in line with western values. The fact that france passed the rule that forbids the headscarf is a violation of any persons right to religious freedom under the geneva ...

[QUOTE=winter rose]
Now Islam doesn't ask the impossible. In no place is it "haram" (against Islam and stirictly forbidden) to shake hands.

As for the hand shake, it is better to avoid, but if it cant be , we are free to shake hands.

I have met a few politicians and such, and honesty about 80% of ...

[QUOTE=Lestat]As a Belgian who has travelled and worked in countries & regions with significant muslim populations, I have a few comments to make.

Regularly in this thread the words diplomat, diplomacy and ambassador crop up. None of the parties involved in the incidents are part of the diplomatic ...

[QUOTE=CM]Factually incorrect but i am happy that someone else reads Foreign Affairs. The problem with the definition of "Salafism" and this discussion is that it is illogical, incorrect and absurd. "Salafism" is supposedly according to Foreign Affairs another form of Wahabbism. Problem here is that ...

I'm just gonna skip over the discussion about our mutual intentions because it will just result in a very long drawn out trenched discussion which would serve no purpose whatsoever.

The reason I think you generalise in your interpretation is because you don't differ between ...
