@Peachy_As_Hell @hodge_stick It’s “Owen” not “Evan”

It’s not stupid it makes perfect sense if you know how to speak the language. There’s no universal way to pronounce the Latin script, every language does it differently

@idesofavril Tie-g

Doh-hee (like dotty but with h instead of t)

@ThatKaleGuy Get shit for what, not having the same pronunciation rules as English? Because that’s every language lol

@LDude69420 @GWHayduke97 The French would be more like "day mwon"

@P_Soisialach They’re more unpopular than they used to be which is great. But they didn’t con their way into government, they got ~40 seats and their partner in crime got another 40 or so, so they were able to get back in. At least the combined FFG share has dropped i the last 4 elections 🙏🙏

@kanbar @ibroxmassive @im_PULSE So apartheid South Africa was a democracy after all?

[theo @____theo___]

@kanbar @ibroxmassive @im_PULSE They weren’t citizens though, everyone who was a citizen was entitled to participate in the political process. So it was democracy by your definition

[theo @____theo___]

@kanbar @ibroxmassive @im_PULSE That was the case in South Africa too, every citizen could participate in the political process. If you don't think South Africa was a democracy then that means you're contradicting yourself.

[theo @____theo___]

@kanbar @ibroxmassive @im_PULSE Any definition of democracy which includes apartheid South Africa - which had equality for all of its citizens - is definitely disputable. You have to take a more holistic approach to the institutions and practices of the state, you can’t just say “well every citizen can vote”

[theo @____theo___]

@kanbar @ibroxmassive @im_PULSE How is indefinite occupation of a territory (illegal under international law) democratic? All citizens having equal rights doesn’t mean much when not everyone gets to be a citizen.

@Vidor1 @linkshund It’s a different branch of English. We have different ways of saying things

[theo @____theo___]

@TheMightyHams @kanbar @im_PULSE I called for annexation, not occupation. Keep up

[theo @____theo___]

@TheMightyHams @kanbar @im_PULSE If it’s occupying it then it’s illegal occupation. Israel has to either withdraw or annex, but permanent occupation is illegal and immoral

[theo @____theo___]

@RussOnPolitics How is that different to any other Democrat?

[theo @____theo___]

@kanbar @im_PULSE So when is Israel going to incorporate all the territory it controls and occupies into this democratic state?

@cwilko87 @stirling_j @kenearlys Why should Arsenal care about them either? They don't have to watch the match if they don't want to. And it's not our job to entertain them.
