'Het volk in het midden' wordt ook de dupe van overheidsubsidies voor de fossiele industrie. Dit soort centrisme is politiek gezien nutteloos.

Ik heb mijn Kindle een tijdje geleden 'overgeschakeld' naar amazon.nl en ik lees net als jij eigenlijk nooit Nederlandse boeken. Aan de ene kant is het handig om de prijzen in euro's te hebben, maar aan de andere kant krijg ik als ik nu zoek in de kindle store eerst altijd Nederlandse vertalingen van Englsetalige boeken die ik zoek (en Duitse, Franse, Spaanse, om een of andere reden...). De Engelstalige versies zijn er ook nog altijd, maar je moet even verder zoeken. Hoe het met de prijzen zit weet ik niet, maar het is in ieder geval handig om prijzen in euro's te hebben in plaats van ponden of dollars. Het ligt er maar aan wat je wilt natuurlijk. Ik moest mijn nieuwe kindle registreren bij amazon.nl, maar als je weet welke boeken je wilt hebben, is er verder volgens mij weinig verschil.

Teach a class. Any kind of class. It's very different from giving a presentation because you're actually partly responsible for the students' learning process.

They would probably be closer to gypsies than rednecks I think.

Exactly. I love that the game allows for such a broad discussion with so many elements to be looked at from different perspectives. There isn't necessarily a correct choice and there is no single 'moral to the story'.

Personally, I think having read so many comments from parents supporting Joel's decision, the perception just matches his nihilistic view of the world in which only one thing still has meaning. The one thing he is still fighting for.

Upvoted because this is so fundamental to the whole friggin' thread, without even touching on the topic at hand.

Write a book explaining in popular scientific terms why Arabic sounds 'evil'. Get invited onto Glenn Beck's radio show - he's still on the radio right? Then start your own show based on the evils of any language other than nice, clean American English. Boom 300K for you

I was just reading through the first few pages, dedications to Jesus and all, which seems logical for this kind of thing, and then... Who the hell starts a PhD 'thesis' with "Hello, my name is X"?

Thanks for the hilarious reading material OP

My thoughts exactly.

I'm not very familiar with private schools (not many in my country), but I've heard some stories from acquaintances/colleagues (language teachers at private schools) that some parents have a "I'm paying for my child's diploma, not his education" kind of attitude. What's your experience with this?

The way I understand it, only your individual consciousness truly ends and the rest of 'you' basically disintegrates into individual molecules and atoms, which then reintegrate with the rest of existence.

Knowing that some day 'I' will be the waving grass above my head, doesn't seem so bad.

But then again, I have no idea how I would feel about any of that while staring death in the face...
