God, that M.A.R.K. kid is perhaps the biggest idiot in this forum's history. He hates the Serie A and hates Italy, yet he supports Juventus. How on earth can you like a club but hate the country it resides in? People such as that kid are just fucking goddamn retards.

On another note, are there people here who have got some experience studying law? Next year I should be over and done with history and Italian, and I'm thinking about law..
Are you planning to study that in the US or in Belgium? For the record I graduated this year. I was still part of the old system (I'm a licentiaat in de rechten), and I'm not really familiar with the BaMa reform, but I guess the system didn't change that much.

You're indeed looking at a lot of ex cathedra tought courses (especially in Belgium). I found it interesting to follow (well, part of it) but quite boring to study, because it's all theory (again, especially in Belgium. German uni's tend to work a lot more with cases).

With your studies (at least the history part), I guess you should be able to cut one year off, through a number of vrijstellingen, like in History of the Belgian institutions, sociology, philosophy, ...

Europeans Heighten Threat Levels

August 7, 2007 - BRUSSELS

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz began in 1940 and tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued "A Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

It's not only the English and French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose".

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
OK, OK, it's been around the Internet a bit, but.. I'm bored.

In the BaMa system I would only have to do two years to gain my bachelor instead of three, if I graduated in history first. TBH I think the BaMa reform has made all education a bit more directed towards cases, but I'd like to find out what studying rechten means practically.

I'm not quite sure yet I want to study that in Belgium. I know it's early to say this, as I haven't really lived abroad for a long period of time anyway (I'm not counting my two year stay in Zambia, because I was very young at the time) and will only do so from February.

The real question is how much training do you need before you can get your own "Judge Andries" TV show where you can make wise cracks and dress down crystal meth addicts arguing over who burned down the house.

I just saw a scene from the new, probably worthless film, Supermad. But it was funny.

These two cops stopped some kid in a store, and asked for his license. The cops took the license and started whispering with each other, and then began to laugh. The kid was becoming so upset that it looked like he wanted to cry/kill the cops. But then one cop said, "haha, you're an organ donor." Then the other cop said, 'yeah my wife wants me to become an organ donor. You know these women just want to rip your fucking heart out, even after you're dead!"

:lol2:
