I think it’s a rule that countries that have been conquered by the french have to use those colours.

Or Trumps pubic bone.

I’ve heard the secret service had some interesting run-ins with a drunken Boris Yeltsin back when he used to stay there, so…maybe?

It’s a Scottish Aperol spritz.

The UK is an island. A wet one full of rivers, lochs, lakes, ponds and streams. I guess we just fence all those too.

One of my favourite is when The Sn newspaper in the UK proudly boasted that 90%(ish, IDK) of it’s readers preferred The Sn. That’s everyone who buys The S*n, who responded to the survey, and still a large proportion don’t like it.

Edit. Asterisks fucked the formatting.

I’d second Portugal. You could spend a week in Lisbon for culture , museums and shopping, then hop on the train to a beach resort in the Algarve for the partying and swimming.

OK, I hear you. How bout baseball bats? They’re something every American has.

My point is that they don’t look too hard to destroy. Why fuck about with lasers?

OK, but, to shoot a handheld laser at a camera and hit the CCD, you have to be in it’s field of view. You could shoot it with a gun outside of it’s field of view. So, is it a greater risk to make a noise, and not be capture on CCTV, or be silent in full view of a law enforcement camera? All things to bear in mind when you’re figuring out the best ways to destroy these things.

I assume it’s mostly Americans affected by this so, genuine question. Why buy a laser when one of your regular guns will do a better job, with the same legal ramifications?

Relax

I’ll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts?

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. Such a pain in the arse when you have to refer to them.

Not sure if you’re joking, but…

So there’s no real reason other than what what we already knew. They’re fussy little fuckers.

If China gets Christianised, are you going to claim that Easter actually had it’s origins in the Qingming festival

If the entire Christian world then adopts elements of the Qingming festival and changes the name of it’s spring solstice festival to “Qingming”, then yes, of course.

Don’t joke about that. You’ll make the Christians cross.

This raises an interesting question. If god is omnipotent, could he give himself a bris? Or is the end of his dick not all-powerful?

It’s absolutely, unequivocally not.

Ēostre ([ˈeːostre])[1][2][3] is an Anglo-Saxon goddess mentioned by Bede in his 8th century work The Reckoning of Time. He wrote that pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in her honour during the month named after her: Ēosturmōnaþ (April), and that this became the English name for the Paschal season: Easter.

Whatever fictional character you ascribe it to, the fact is that the modern Christian festival of Easter partly replaced, and is named after, an earlier pagan festival.

No no, it’s just a coincidence that Christians celebrate the birth of the Son at the winter solstice, and the resurrection of the Son at the spring equinox. You can tell they’re not pagan festivals by all the mistletoe, Yule logs, horny bunnys and eggs.
