You DO have a point.

Ah, conflicting opinions. Keep it going everyone, this is what outsiders learn most from! Just keep it clean ;)

Well that was a mistake. I'm an evil selfish bastard who doesn't really care about other people except a select few on the entire earth.

What? I don't teach. Teaching requires patience with other (dummer or at least less-knowledgeable) people. I don't do that.

Wow... Thanks!!! I'm an atheist :) But I don't have any bibles - you got that right :D Lemme know if you're ever going to learn German!

Cheat :D Fabiana - Back on the language subject? Didn't you once tell me you liked German cause they have such long words? Well Dutch has that too. I asked a literature professor the other day what the longest word was in Dutch and he said there's no answer to that because of our word...

Honestly? Two? Wow. I know some Catholics who don't even have one :D

Well that will be impossible; I'll never be a Muslim. But I found that knowledge increases respect. Not that I don't already respect it; but better understanding is always a pro.

Yes I read. I heard that the main distinction between the two only appear after Abraham (Ibrahim in Islam). Those two are still one and the same person and appreciated in the same manner in both religions, but from there on the gap starts to widen (that's what I've heard anyways). Hmm ok I...

Too bad we can't open a German thread anymore... I'd like to practice some

Well if you're fluent in German (what level would you say you are?) then Dutch isn't too hard to learn and vice versa. Plus, Dutch is modern English's closest relative so if you're a native English speaker and you want to learn a relatively easy foreign language; you should go with Dutch :D

No, it's German. The Dutch translation would go as follows: Gemaakt zodat het met een zeker persoon in ieder geval voor een kort ogenblik beter gaat... As opposed to: Gemacht damit es einer gewissen person zumindest für einen Augenblick besser geht...

"Produced in the hope that at least one certain person will feel better for a short period of time" Read it in the end titles of a movie - figured it should apply to my posts :D Yes it's quite interesting actually! On a more religious note: I was in a book shop the other day and I was...

Read? No. But I met this Moroccan fella at university who filled me in on some things (more about customs etc, not the language). It's far too hard for me to ever get a clue though :D

About that; I was considering sending my grandmother (a devowed protestant) a Christmas greeting card with arabic greetings next to the Dutch ones but I figured I shouldn't do it; for her health's sake et al :D

You propaganda expert :D Majed - yeah that's probably it. Here you would have all sorts of conflicts between catholics, protestants, jews, muslims :blah: And atheists of course

That's very odd to my Dutch ears :D Interesting though!

Yes... Yes... :D That's interesting, though a little bit frightening as well. Is there no 'casual' version of that phrase?

Hey! No foreign languages! :D

Wait, wishing someone good luck involves god as well?
