I'm still trying to figure out how you came to that conclusion after what Raven wrote, but never mind, as I have a feeling we're about to go in circles again.

Ooh look a squirrel!

(P.S If you ever fancy a laugh, try to get a German to pronounce squirrel, it really doesn't work).

We have like 6 German dudes in a clan i play Planetside 2 with, and two guys called Squirrel King and Squirrelreedemer, it's brilliant.

Some of them come and play drunk and just repeat it, its brilliant.

 

[Raven]

Actually - I was commenting on the fact of Raven's belief that greeks are a special type of human that, given identical environmental conditions, would act differently from us.

As I said. The mind boggles.

No, I just said they are different. Unless of course the real Xenophobe is you? Do you see anyone different to a resident of the UK a lesser person?

Have some Germans in the WoW guild, they say a lot of things funny. And some Greeks!!121

 

[Job]

I' always reminded of the guy who played some game with a load of Germans while over there and when he killed one of them he would shout..' Ya, feel za powa of meint boom boom sticken!'...annoyed the fuck out of them.

Beautiful, classy, and I bet it's anathema to the proper snowmobile crowd.

Worth noting it doesn't always work

But they're not different in any meaningful way. Given the same environment we'd all act identically. You seem to think otherwise.

I don't see any human in any part of the world as different from me at all. In the same environment I'd act the same way as they do. As would you.

Your whole position is based on the fact that the greeks somehow deserve what they're getting because of their non-payment of tax - and my position is that you'd not pay tax either - if you grew up in given their environment.

It's a simple theory - and you're not presenting any alternative to this argument other than "the greeks are different".

 

[Raven]

erm. at no point did I say they deserve it, just that they are (partly) responsible for it...

When you stop putting words into my mouth I might bother to respond further but its a complete waste of time talking to you about anything because all you do is make stuff up then go on an on about it.

If you don't see any human as different to you then I suggest you do a little research on nature vs nurture. Just because you like to avoid your taxes and the Greeks like to avoid their taxes does not mean that our societies are the same.

So you see it as being in the greek's nature?

Just checking - because I see it as nurture. We're identical species after all - by your own admission. So it has to be nurture.

 

[Raven]

Look, you aren't going to get it so I just can't be bothered.

Talk about your superimposing double standard

Yes, but your view is they are passive products of their environment and not active participants in it, And I simply don't agree with that viewpoint. Its a massive get-out-of-jail-free card that basically blames everything on "other people".

Im confused, it said you quoted me

much confusion :'(

@DaGaffer - I put it to you that you'd act in exactly the same manner given identical circumstances.

I'm not blaming other people - I'm blaming a system that gave rise to that behaviour over decades.

 

[Scouse]

Anyway - anyone got any recommendations for websites for cheap flights?

I'm looking for flights to Malaga in August so I can see why they're expensive (like 3 times what I'd normally pay). But every pound counts

i am so fed up with this "it is okay to pirate stuff! They earn enough!" mentality

Yes, but you're making the implication that the system wasn't a result of the people participating in it. The Greek attitude towards tax (and towards back-handers) goes all the way back to Byzantium and subsequent colonisation by the Ottomans. People avoided tax because it was payment to an occupying power. Post-independence the culture remained, even though it was Greeks giving money to other Greeks to pay for Greek services. The attitude to tax is a cultural artifact that's wrong and harmful, and once Greece joined the EU it became even more wrong and harmful because it was being perpetuated at someone else's expense.

It doesn't actually matter if I'd behave the same way if I was Greek; a German has been paying for their shit and they want their money back.

So. A little short report after using Tinder for a while, roughly a month later. This shit is becoming a bit of an addiction - it's so easy to fuck around town not even funny any longer. Three dates today, getting a bit out of hand tbh. Always looking for someone that fits the ideal woman better..tall, blonde, nice knockers etc..completely given way to the assimilated shallow self. After meeting someone perfectly fine looking, there is this thought that pops up that i could find someone closer to that ideal mentioned earlier. Preferably someone younger as well..

It's expensove cause it's holiday season and it's the Spanish coast. If that's what you really meant. I think easy jet used to go from gatwick. Was how I flew there. Probably not a good airport for you though.

 

[fettoken]

Right in the feels.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Today i found out my local Lidl stocks these;

I'm f*cked.

[Job]

So Apple are making the biggest profits in corporation history.
And still they turn up to pay an extra hundred quid for the same or worse tech to keep Apple in gold jets.
Never underestimate fashion.

 

[BloodOmen]

Because of the amount of lemmings that keep buying apple products "Zomg its got an apple on it, here have £3000!"

 

[old.user4556]

Saw a lelz quote today saying "1 in 90 people in the world bought an iPhone", so that means 89 in every 90 didn't buy an iPhone?

 

[Moriath]

I have an iPad air 2 but I wouldn't consider myself a lemming when I decided to go with Apple tablets way back in the past the sammy Galaxy tab was what I wanted. But in the time frame I had I only had one choice because it wasn't released yet. Since then I have upgraded every two or three gens as I have investment in the apps etc on it.

I would probably got to sammy still. But I have the investment in apps etc I don't want to lose. And each upgrade I look at the competition and decide if there is anything to make me want to change and lose that. And so far their isn't.
