You are, of course, welcome to have your personal definition of any term in the dictionary. You can even invent whole new words for all I care. Doesn't mean you won't get ridiculed for it.

Except it is not "not real socialism", it is not socialism at all. GP is absolutely correct about "worker ownership of the means of production". This is the textbook definition.

You have no idea how many financial institutions are based in Cyprus. And I seriously doubt that Turkey has the balls to wage war against the EU.

Then they have chosen the wrong Greece. Cyprus is what they have looked for.

Well, as silly as this ban is, maybe it will make avoiding social media easier.

Indeed. That dumbass doesn't even know that two NATO countries have been at war with each other and still might be in the near future. One of these countries still illegally occupies EU soil.

This exactly. I still hate The Old Man and The Sea because of this obsession with over-analysis. Nobody wanted to hear my theory about Hemmingway being an alcoholic who wrote boring books with extremely thin plots because his brain was soaked in the previously-mentioned alcohol(and key lime pie). I was 17 so of course I wasn't into subtext but the teach could have at least *tried* to convince me it existed instead of just presupposing it was there and acting like all of the other silent students in the class agreed with him...(No, I'm fine, things from nearly thirty years ago don't bother me.. at all. Why do you ask?)

As far as the article is concerned, 20 pages was a short except in many of my college classes and that much reading was assigned for essentially every class on a weekly basis. (And it was *super* obvious that I was the only student even attempting to do the reading in most of my classes[2010 timeframe]).

Exactly, pretty competent if used carefully. Far too many people use it wrong, don't provide it any documentation and assume that it already knows everything and does everything correctly.

The president of Iran wasn't quite just a figurehead. Iran has a very unusual political system - an actual kind of democratic republic with a parliament, political parties and separation of powers embedded in a totalitarian theocracy. The president is the head of the government (basically a prime minister) and has the mandate to make decisions regarding non-religious and non-military things. At least that was the case until this war. The old theocracy elites were killed by the USA and the new ones are younger and far more radical. I wouldn't be surprised if they dismantle the civil government and create a second Afghanistan out of Iran.

The sole reason for Ireland to opt out of Schengen was the UK not joining it. If the UK joins Schengen (or if Ireland is reunified) CTA becomes completely moot.

Works for these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Nowadays there is no cherry-picking rules for new members. The Euro and Schengen are mandatory. And a lot of other stuff too.

Electric airplanes are perfect for flight schools - they are much easier to fly than piston engined aircraft and are far cheaper to operate. The range is not important for that.

And by the way, i seriously doubt that you are important enough for anyone to go out of their way to impress you. Certainly not for an aircraft manufacturer.

Considering that the orange shitgibbon is not above taking hostages - he did that during his first term already - it might be dangerous.

Let me guess, Netcraft confirmed it?
