Because the dutch are just so damn...evil
Half Dutch, and I'm a jolly man
*sips tea*
You speak the language too?
A little, I understand it very well though, my mother always speaks to her parents in it, and thats once every week, so the understanding has sunk in. I cant speak it well at all, but they talk about something and I'm generally on track, its weird.
*sips tea*
Nice. Glad to hear there's someone else on here who understands Dutch. Now you just need to learn how to speak and write it.

Ich fuhr ein Auto zum der Shop
Jag körde en bil till shoppen
I drove a car to the store
A few extra consonants in German, and some (two) silent vowels in English.
Ik heb de autowagen naar de winkel gebracht.
See, you guys even have the "wagen" slapped onto the end.
It's unnecessary though. Most people just say "auto" for car.

>yes legal prostitution in certain areas, just like the Netherlands
>yes legal weed to own for personal use, just like the Netherlands minus the coffee shops in Amsterdam
No idea what magic truffles are, though.

Alright, warnings have been given out for personal attacks and insults. Enough of that now, or there's going to be a time-out. Thread is remaining unlocked in the hopes of some proper and civil discussion still taking place.

I'm a pretty good swimmer, I suppose. Youngest person at my old middle school to receive the highest swimming ribbon thing for doing 1.5 miles in a few hours back when I was 8.
Yeah, I am pretty good jogger, I supposed. Only got like a few gold olympic medals.
This was 15 years ago. I used to be really good for my age, not so much anymore.

>implying I have any rights living in the communist reich of Europe
But in all seriousness, I never had to do much flexing of my rights. Never met any police officer that was in any way trying to intimidate me or keep me down. All of them seemed like genuinely good cops and were extremely friendly to me.
I would love to some day visit Europe and see for myself not only the social culture but how the police act. In America if you look suspicious you will be watched and most likely approached my police.
Both my aunt's husband and my next door neighbor are cops. I see them both very regularly. The two of them are some of the most down to earth and genuinely caring people I know, and I couldn't imagine them being any different on the job. Sure, my experiences are anecdotal and there's no doubt that there's some assholes on the Belgian police force as well. But as far as I can tell, there seems to be a pretty substantial difference between the cop culture here and in the US. Kind of shame, really.

"VEHEMENTLY RELIGIOUS, ANTI-GAY AND PRO-LIFE SITE RANDOMLY RECEIVES A DECADE OLD AND HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE TESTIMONY OF AN ANONYMOUS PERSON CLAIMING TO HAVE BEEN CONVERTED"
Don't make me laugh.
I love you Flee
Thank you Nick, but I'm afraid I'm already dating someone.

Yeah, sure.
I also don't even understand what the argument is supposed to be. That an abortion is a bloody and gross medical procedure? That they don't just wave around a magical wand and make the fetus go "poof" to heaven? I don't see how this well known fact is going to change anyone's opinion on this.

First of all, Flemish > Dutch in literally every single imaginable way.
As far as I'm aware, the reason it deviates from German is because Dutch is probably the most pure / authentic West-Germanic language that's still spoken. If I recall correctly, the Dutch language had a tendency of influencing a lot of others, but remain relatively uninfluenced itself. Pretty sure "Frau" originally came from "Frouwa", for example.
I also don't think the spelling is any stranger than other languages. >_>

List "mod at sep7agon.net" as a reference and ask Cheat to write you a letter of recommendation.

Crappy review, but the guy raises some good points. Played a bit of PS2 myself, but never felt compelled to put more time into it. Relatively easy and often boring game that relies on its large scale to stand out.
Don't know who you played with/against, but it's not really easy. But I won't deny that there is a lot of walking around, and not as much combat as most games have. I just like that, since there is a long distance to walk, it gives it a more realistic feel, like you actually have to rely on strategy, and waiting for backup is an actual thing in that game.
For the brief time I put in it, I found it one of the easier PC FPS games I've played, to be honest. Maybe I just played a bunch of noobs, but the slow gameplay, low kill times and the fact that it didn't require much thought, didn't give me the impression that I was playing a hard FPS.
It was a lot better before the lattice update. The game is practically dead now.
When did that update happen?

I have just obtained this from an unidentified source in the sep7agon mod chat, and I am sure it will shock you all. A weeb, a desticle, a ruthless dictator. The end is near.  Edit: shit this was supposed to be anon

A little over 185cm (6"2) and only about 70kg. Tall and a little too skinny.

Oh shit, this actually looks surprisingly good. Not much of a fan of the Marvel stuff, but this? A superhero movie not marketed at 10 year olds? Would consider watching.
Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron are hardly for 10 year olds.
While Winter Soldier was a bit better than the others, I still find it hard to think of them as anything other than movies aimed at a much younger audience. There's hardly any serious themes that require much thought, it's always black/white, the movies are extremely predictable, the violence is the kind that has been carefully constructed as to not upset anyone and the ever prevalent little quirks and jokes undermine any serious tone the movies could have.
While saying that they're all aimed at 10 year olds was a bit too harsh, I can't consider any of them as actually serious or adult movies.
This is some dumb bullshit, Flee.
>serious and adult movies
lmfao
My sincerest apologies for not liking the light hearted Marvel superhero movies because I felt that they were rather childish, unnecessarily quirky and both extremely shallow and predictable, and that I would've much prefered the movies if they were a bit more serious.

I'll take the dark and gritty superhero movies over the juvenile likes of the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy any day.
Fucking hate this mentality.
My mentality being that my own and personal preference lies with the generally darker and grittier movies? I can't even wrap my head around why you'd say this, as it's literally no different from telling someone who prefers slower and instrumental music over rap or heavy metal that their mentality is shit. Unlike what you're seemingly accusing me of, I never said all of the more light hearted movies are pure shit and not worth watching. I'm simply stating my own preference and making clear why I did not enjoy most of the Marvel movies much.

As soon as a trailer reveals a monster, it's a mistake.
Not for Godzilla or King Kong
Yet for Horror movies I'd say this rule applies
I like the particular philosophy of Carpenter. The less you know, and the less you see of something, the more atmosphere, the more tense, the more unease you can build upon.
You can always show your creature. But fleeting glimpses create something special.
A morbid curiosity is generated to want to see what's so terrifying. Not knowing, what something is, but that it is inherently harmful to you, is terrifying.
Not seeing it in full, makes for great tension and immersion.
While I generally agree with you that revealing as little as possible can create some amazing suspense, I don't think it really applies here. The first movie has been out for three years and the villain/monster has already been clearly revealed. Not much of a point in keeping it a secret when everyone who's seen the first installment already knows what the bad guy looks like.
Why eliminate the possibility of suspense for people who haven't seen the original?
Why needlessly keep up the suspense when the vast majority of people who will go see the movie already know what it's about?
If anything, it's going to result in a backlash of people who won't understand why you're trying to hide an already known villain, or people who go see the movie anticipating something new and different because you seemingly deliberately kept the bad guy a secret, only to find out that it's the exact same one.
Good point
If people want to stay surprised they should stay in the dark.
Agreed. Doesn't mean I generally agree with showing off the bad guy in trailers, though. I'm completely with you there. I just think it would be rather pointless to try and hide the villain when the majority of people already know what it is. It would be kind of like making another Transformers movie with Megatron as the main bad guy, and then deliberately trying not to show him in the trailer while everbody already knows he's going to be the villain and they're already familiar with what he looks like from the first four movies.

Not sure if this is a troll thread, but have you ever tried to burn a closed book, especially one as thick and with a cover such as the bible? Because there's no circulating air and heat in between the pages to fuel the fire, you will only succeed in burning the cover and edges of the paper before the fire wears off. It's a well known fact that after housefires, thicker books are generally one of the few things that can be retrieved afterwards. Here's a good read on it.And here's a video showing a guy trying to deliberately burn a bible and repeatedly pouring lighter fluid on it with absolutely no success at getting the book to burn until he opened them up and stacked them.
