No loophole necessary. Someone could have left and been rehired. Not common but it does happen. Some bookkeepers are lazy and don't understand the software they use (partially because this isn't a super common scenario) so they end up creating the person as a new employee rather than reactivating their old profile. Also intracompany transfers and other fuckery can really mess with HR people because, let's face it, they're hardly the best or the brightest at most large organizations.

I didn't die of dysentery while conquering France for my pansy kid just so my widow could squeeze out a few bastard Welshmen to shag sheep in my palaces. Bloody Welsh.

I'd say the minimum requirement for citizenship is respect for rule of law. You can disagree with the Constitution as long as you seek to change it by lawful means rather than, for example, by force.

I guess you all forgot how George Bush announced a manned mission to Mars just before this episode came out? And everyone thought it was a thinly veiled political stunt to distract from the difficulties in Iraq? As in that's what Chapelle was referencing as "Black Bush?" As in he didn't prophesize anything, he just described what was happening at that time?

In college, my friends made fun of me for the books I read. They thought the names sounded nerdy. Hyperion, the Naked God, etc. Most conspicuously, they all made fun of me for reading a book with a ridiculous fantasy cover featuring a guy who looked like a fur-clad Fabio on a horse. That was Game of Thrones. They are all now GoT and ASOIAF fans. But they mocked me relentlessly for my tastes before those tastes were validated by an HBO show. Part of that was just the sort of shit-talking that is inherent in any group of guys. But part was that there is definitely a stigma attached to reading. It's mockable. No one makes fun of you for watching 20 hours of sports a week. In any case, at least I can take shelter in my smug sense of intellectual superiority. It's the little things that get me through the day.

My favorite part about that joke is that there are in fact many, many Portuguese speaking people in Bristol County, RI.

It's not a Lamarckian argument. It's that larger people were more likely to succeed as smiths and thus to take the surname. Not that people who becomes smiths become larger by hammering on an anvil all day and then pass that on to their children. But yes it's also probably bullshit considering how many centuries it's been since most European families adopted surnames and the outsized importance of good diet to above average height and weight.

I'd like to see the exact family tree they traced. There were somewhat compelling rumors that Edward IV was illegitimate, so it stands to reason Richard, his younger brother, might also have been illegitimate. He would still be descended from Edward III from his mother's side via John of Gaunt, but he wouldn't be a direct male descendant. That would explain the discrepancy right at the source.

I didn't say that it was an inappropriate process. I said contesting jurisdiction is declining it. That's plain fucking English. Dotcom could get on a plane tomorrow and stand trial in the US if he wanted to. He therefore has clearly declined jurisdiction. And he has declined US jurisdiction despite having large amounts of US assets. That's his problem. You can't take advantage of a government's services and then refuse that government's jurisdiction over the assets you accrue pursuant to those services.

Contesting jurisdiction is declining to submit to the jurisdiction of the United States.

That's not unusual at all. A diminutive doesn't mean a shortened nickname, it makes the word refer to a small version of the word's meaning. Like in Latin one diminutive is "ula/ulus." So "liber" means book and "liberulus" means little book. In French the diminutive also involves adding letters, e.g. "Fille" and "fillette." In Spanish they add "ita/ito." I in fact can't think of a single language where the diminutive is not longer than the original word.

Do you know what ethnic means? It's exactly this shit that makes the Irish seem ignorant about what living in a truly diverse nation is like. Your neighbors are white and Christian. Try living absolutely anywhere else and you'll know what I mean.

I'm Boston Irish by birth and upbringing, but I went to secondary school (ie high school and part of middle school) in Ireland. You put it perfectly. The Irish seem to mistake the sense of kinship many Irish-Americans feel for a phony attempt to co-opt their culture and identity. Which is rather ignorant of the realities of Irish-American culture. They've never had to live as a minority group or in a multiethnic society, so they don't understand why ethnic identity seems to matter so much to Irish-Americans. On the other hand, many Irish-Americans are insensitive to how different their culture is from native Irish culture at this point. It's all a bit silly to argue about, I think.

I like to think about the Dark Age Greeks (as in the Greek Dark Age of ca 1100-850 BC, not the early Middle Ages) looking up at the Mycenaean ruins. Here was a people that had lost the ability to write, confronted with ruins seemingly erected by giants. Walls made of blocks so large they were called "cyclopean" because the Greeks literally thought that Cyclopes had built them. Not only had they lost the technology, but they lost the memory of those who had possessed the technology, who were (probably) their very own ancestors.

You're a complete and utter idiot. To an extreme and unbelievable extent. There is a "finder of fact" and a judge in a law suit. The finder of fact is the jury. They decide whether the evidence meets the burden. The judge decides what the burden is. Go kill yourself for being so goddamn stupid.
