A nice hot cup of tea. Your hoopiness is fading ;)

The rest of the article was in English - are they Brit arseholes because the rest of the article wasn't in Gaelic? I'm all for the Irish language, but it's the BBC. The clue's in the name.

Keep digging that hole. Those who read your comments and have any idea of Ireland or the Irish realise you can't tell the difference between other peoples' jokes and reality, which is reflecting terribly poorly on you. I was in Ireland a week ago, and your strange views on the Irish and their culture are remarkably far from the truth. "Well known behaviour pattern"? Well known to idiots, definitely. Normal people know it's an inaccurate stereotype trotted out by muppets.

You use a second machine, doofus. It's not rocket science. Mirror A to B, make changes to B, switch to B, if B breaks, switch back to A, if B doesn't break, you're golden.

You are confusing two concepts: "you" and "everyone". What is possible for you might not be for everyone else.

You do realise the fact you have to explain all these things to people means they're not as game-changing as you seem to think they are? It's like trying to explain why a joke is funny - if you have to, it's not funny.

That's only a thing to xenophobic, tiny-minded, easily-scared shadow-jumpers such as yourself. Grow up.

No, it's $3m a day. Something about "apples" and "oranges" springs to mind.

Give them something to live for. Fat, happy people don't become terrorists. Israel has made settlement after settlement, displacing families and communities for decades. It's taken water and deprived people of free movement. What do you expect the Palestinians to do? Sit down cross-legged as Israel squeezes them dry, praising their existence? When a country does something demonstrably bad to some people, and doesn't listen to the grievances of those people, eventually the only course of action left is violence. This has been demonstrated time and time again. Hamas doesn't have the capability to send warnings, and if you look at the density of Gaza you'd see there isn't much space away from anything Hamas-related, meaning Israel has carte blanche to shoot wherever it wants and claim it was targetting Hamas. You usually make a lot of sense, but it seems you have been perverted by the usual media nonsense so common over where you are. Both sides suck, but only one side is actually fighting for survival, even if both claim so. Think.

And if Israel was carved out of the Midwest instead of displacing people in British-"owned" territory, there would be even more people alive. You're doing yourself, and this discussion, a great disservice to stop looking at this issue at any point after it began. Look back to the beginning, and you might get a better understanding.

Where does that give Israel the right to kill hundreds of civilians? I'm confused.

You seem to talk about the number of rockets fired at Israel, but not the damage caused, as if "their" rockets are identical to those fired by Israel...

The Bohr model is not an accurate description of atoms, so it's pointless to try to compare anything to it and claim you are comparing to actual atoms.

2. Not entirely. There are planets without stars, and there are stars which orbit stars (well, stars which orbit a barycentre between itself and another star, which may or may not be inside the other star).

"Republic" doesn't mean what you think it does. It has nothing to do with democracy. It simply means a country that is not ruled by a dynastic leader. That's it.

So both parties have an official policy of republicanism if they are not actively seeking to replace the president with a leader chosen by dynasty.
