That is quite a remarkable statement you make there from a legal point of view. Perhaps you are referring to the European convention of Human rights, but the universal declaration as such has no binding force upon states as far as I know. It is widely considered to be soft law and used as an...

But we can deem certain things as illogical by those standards, that's all I meant. You have to have a certain knowledge of logic to know when things are illogical...

I agree with you that the human mind will (probably) never be able to fully encompass everything, because we are, at the moment, too limited. Arguing otherwise would be extremely arrogant... But that's a bit besides the point here. My point is that the things we as human beings do conjure up...

Oh pray tell me, why doesn't traditional logic and reasoning apply to spiritual matters? I can tell you're well versed in theology, because your senses have been dulled to the point that you're unable to distinguish the false dichotomy of faith and reason from the obviously correct antithesis of...

I even consider the biased atheist version to be pretty weak. Their so called 'rational' response to things is pretty embarassing. Sad that they're the ones who are supposedly representing atheism. I also cringed when he was using scientific arguments to definitevely prove the non-existence of...

Sad day, rest in peace mr Vonnegut. You will live on through all those wonderful books you've written. Strange, because I started reading bluebeard 2 days ago :?

A boozing nite? I'm all for that. I'm extremely close to Holland and Germany. Belgium is ideal though, especially for the booze.

We do -comparatively- fare pretty well vs the Netherlands though. I think last 5 games were mostly ties, right? I think we even managed to win once... :?

You dutchies be happy that your team doesn't suck as much ass as the 'clueless devils' from Belgium. They get pwnd by poland ffs. Last game 4-0 loss against portugal. It's going to be our 3rd consecutive major tournament miss. But what fucked up my day? A fucking 4 hour seminar on financial...

Or other things that don't pass for beer, such as the good ol' Aldi Cara Pils for 5€ per crate. It's so cheap that some bum in Ghent actually was showering himself with it by pouring the can over his face and then proceeding to throw the remainder on tourists whom he so clearly despised...

Nice list, especially when it comes to the Geuzes, but also quite expensive (20-50% more expensive). You seem to know quite a lot about beer (more than me I dare to say after just reading 3 of your posts regarding the matter. Quite embarrassing for a Belgian :) ). I don't know whether anyone...

It's a shame that I still haven't had the opportunity to drink a Westy 12, they're hard to come by these days due to the hype and all... So far, my n°1 trappist is still the Rochefort 10. I'm sincerely trying to be chauvinistic by liking the Achel trappist, but it just doesn't do anything for...

Blasphemy! The St. Bernardus Abt 12 is NOT a trappist, it's an abbey beer. The only trappists in the world are the Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, Westmalle, Westvleteren, Achel (my hometown near the Dutch border, close to Eindhoven by the way) and the Dutch Latrappe. The Bernardus is a superior...

I don't know about the United States, but over here in (many countries of) Europe the evaluation of proof is pretty fucked up. Illegitimately acquiered proof is not immediately discarded, on the contrary, illegal proof (e.g. proof that has been collected through a crime, through violation of...

Difficult choice. Fallout 2 was my first 'love' because it was my first PC game ever and it took me a couple of months to finish (at eleven years old you're too dense to get everything, especially when it's in a different language) so the experience has always stuck with me even up to this day...
