Our pints are 25cl or 33cl, or 50cl depending on the beer, the country and the brewer!

I think that the Belgian authorities should also try to organise this in a European context (L'union fait la force!).
Another idea I had: how should crowdsourcing be organised to damage scientology (I refuse them a capital)?
Baader and Meinhof were also descendants of well to do people. However, I do not think OWS compares to the Baader-Meinhof group.
Don't care for moderation: just let TV die, the golden age of TV was the 60's and 70's, all the rest sucks. TV must die!
Are you aware that some people call themselves British, even though Britain consists of England, Wales and Scotland?
Or that there are people who call themselves German, even though Germany is a federation of a whole lot of regions. Have a look at the history of Germany, how long the entity Germany only exists and the dissolving of Prussia.
I think it is better for people in Europe to start calling themselves Europeans, while at the same time embracing the regional differences there are in geography, climate, language and culture.
Look at history, and see what happens when a cultural entity is not prepared to adapt, but staunchly keeps to its roots, e.g. the Spartans.
I suggest you reread 'Huckleberry Finn' from beginning to end.
Indeed, one painter that needs to be blocked entirely is probably Rubens. All that naked flesh!
I think both. After I read the rest of the thread, I also became aware that the thing can even be more likened to a ZX Spectrum because of the Z80, and then my nickel fell also on the resolution and the color range, 320x256x16 means a memory of 160 k bytes of RAM. With its 21 k of working memory, that means 4 times the memory of the Speccy.
Yes, you are right.
Indeed, the big thing to work upon currently (but it seems that this is not only a EU problem) is to instil in the people of the European Commission, that it is their duty to uphold the law, and if they want to achieve something where the law blocks them, the first thing is to start up a debate about why the law is that way, not try to change the law as fast as possible.
My ZX-Spectrum in 1984, with its 48 kB RAM was more powerful than this thing, and I had a resolution of 256x192 pixels.
If you look at the different ways Switzerland and the USA handle these issues, it just comes down to one thing: discipline. And that is the issue with the NRA: they do not want to take the responsibility of instilling a sense of discipline and duty upon their members and gun owners in general.
But in Switzerland, all gun owners are part of the army, so they are taught professionally how to handle and store guns.
I have nothing against the availability of guns, but I think that every gun owner has a responsibility, which should be taught to him by professionals, e.g. the police or the army, or pensioned people of said services.
Also, a distinction can be made between hunting rifles which need to be manually reloaded, and multi-cartridge weapons.
Yeah, where are the days if a motorcycle passed ones house, that the TV reception was jammed?
But you could tax the usage of robots.
I do not know about other countries, but here in Belgium there is a tax on power equipment, e.g. electro-motor based things, in function of the power.
I do not think that we should repentant for us wanting him to bleed.
