If you seriously believe in such endemic corruption, you could equally fantasise that Google has enough money to buy a not-guilty verdict, yet the EU will remain impartial?

Not sure why your post is being downvoted, when the laborious Reddit-level sarcasm in the post you replied to is the kind of useless, non-constructive crap I thought was frowned upon here.

I think he was (also) saying Muslims are misbehaving in Norway and Finland, and it can't be blamed on those countries attacking the Middle East, so people (rightly or wrongly) believe there is something wrong with Muslims/people i

What are you talking about? Russia was virtually a failed state in the 1990s, except for half-a-dozen pro-Western crooks who became instant billionaires stealing assets the Russian people had built and paid for, and who helped steal the 199

I think it means they literally didn't know the words Islam or Muslim, it being previously known as Muhammadism or Mahometry and/or other words.

Yeah, I looked it up after I posted (probably should have done it the other way around), but thanks.

I just read about something like that recently, a couple being thrown into jail in the US in the 1960s , for the 'crime' of being married and of being different races. Edit: My mistake, it was 1958, but they took legal action in

Can you post under a more obvious sock?

Thanks. That's how I understood it after reading a bit more about it, but wasn't 100% sure, so I appreciate the answer. I guess there's no good succinct term that's clear for unusual situations like this.

"The Jews" is an accepted shorthand for some people, and like "the left" you can be fairly certain the argument around the term is not going to focus on what a great bunch of lads they are. As to the other point, if both

Anyone who uses terms like "the left" is pretty much announcing where they are coming from, and that their argument is almost certainly going to be simplistic and flawed. Take this excerpt: Surely the left believes in sec

I generally agree that mentioning downvotes is boring, but so is downvoting for petty reasons.

What does trying to bury a post for absolutely petty reasons add to a conversation?

Isn't the succinct term (since at least Pam Anderson) "sex tape"? I wrote it the way I did, which I don't think was that bad, because out of about 40 posts, two used the term (which I had never heard of before in this

Unauthorized is certainly better than non-consensual, particularly in a sex-related context, but I would also even question the word porn. I know it's commonly used as in 'revenge porn' but is it 'porn' when people

by hartpuff 11y ago
I stand by my opinion of the term, it's completely inane, but after risking a search on it, 'only' the first 8 out of 10 results were rape-related porn videos, so it seems to be also used by major sites in the sense you used
