Oh Kharn that little red line wassn't meant for every one to read thats why its so small. Try picking that toast apart. I was only on my second beer when i wrote that what till later on tonight afer i have unwinded. hehe 8)

Some highlighted words arn't that bad. For example if you wish to highlight the inportance of a certain word or somthing to make it stand out.
I think it was just the entire post wrote in cyan that was bad.
I have to admit, that was pretty annoying to read. But still, the use of colour is there to be used, but with moderation.

I think he's just quoting Mr. Garrison from South Park, m'kay? Kharn, how did you learn to write so good? And how did you pick up on so much American culture?nWo said:
I disagree here. An entire post written in a bright color with a black background is nothing but strain for the eyes while trying to read it. A picture, on the other hand, usually composes of several different colors all blended together while also being worth 1000 words and being understood within seconds.nWo said:
Are you talking about the US of A? I think you have your facts wrong if you are... Time to get rid of that greenhouse and move up here to Canadabis.nWo said:

Isn't it "write so well"?
Well, I'm Dutch. Almost every Dutchy can at least speak English perfectly, though most have the silliest accent you'll ever hear. Heh, when I was in Britain, I was told I have a Russian accent.
Though I am proud of my English grades: I had a 10 (out of 10) for my oral exams, a 10 for my listening test and a 9.3 for my written test, giving me a 9.8 so far.
And American culture; well, obviously, almost all our tv is American, since most other countries only make crap shows. And none of it is dubbed, nor are movies! Gotta love that.
And I'm slightly interested in American culture, which is why I'm actually familiar with the American political system, gun laws, etc. etc. And unlike most Dutch, I don't hate the Americans without even thinking about why. I don't hate Americans while thinking about "why" either.

Dutch is also the closest relative to english of the indo-european language family.
Really? The closest of the Indo-European languages, eh. I was not aware of that and I am English. I hail (dear lord, I hope this is the right 'hail', it would be such a pity to use incorrect spelling in a post discussing how great the English language is) from the home of our great and glorious language.

Closest relative of english. The next being german.
Dutch and English are germanic languages iirc, but they're considered on the low germanic side of the treee and german is high germanic, iirc. Kinda hazy though, so I"m not entirely certian.
Kharn said:
Well yes, that's true.
Kharn said:
I don't hate Americans, and most people I know don't hate them either. There are a lot off people here which don't hate Americans Kharn.
axelgreese said:
I can't put my finger on it, but I think Dutch is just as close to German as to English.
axelgreese said:
Ah, is that it. Well you live another day, you learn another thing.
axelgreese said:
Actually, that's not true.
The actual closest relative of English is the little known language Frisian. Which is gramatically nearly identical to Dutch, but has a different vocabulary. It's spoken in one province of the Netherlands "Friesland" or...Frisia, I suppose. It's a small language, but an official one.

I know, I was just poking fun. You'll have to admit anti-Americanism is as strong in the Netherlands as in most EU countries, though.

I wasn't dealing with "liitle knowns" humpf! *sticks nose in air*
I say to you good day sir!
Oh sure, but ASL (American Sign Language) is the fourth largest language in America and its not offically recognized... Dang European countries!Kharn said:
axelgreese said:
And a good day to you. Just don't forget! Frisian rules!
Ozrat said:
Well, it's not spoken, now is it
I bet "gebarentaal" as we call it is officially recognised here, but I'm not sure.
Ebonics is an officially recognised language, though...Right?
Kharn said:Arg! I curse ye! *Ozrat does a sign that looks like it might have been offensive*axelgreese said:Well, it's not spoken, now is it
Hey Jacen and Kharn, how about my real name. Auke. Is that Frisian or what..
I'm not that proud of our drugs-policy. I must say I did use some for a while, but it is very destructive for your educational carreer. nWo perhaps doesn't have enough knowledge of research in social effects of drug use to display a non-ignorant-seeming view (no offence nWo, I can understand your point of view, but I think it is flawed) but my thoughts are that you can't give anyone freedom to do whatever they want because it is just a fact that some people can't make a rational decision for themselves. (and for sure not at the age most start to try some, puberty) The political decision is just one to avoid criminal activities by legalizing it. Social cost on the other hand show themselves years later, by a larger group of less-educated and the flow from softdrugs to harddrugs.
I wouldn't be suprised if softdrugs will be forbidden in a decade in Holland. Time will tell.

That is indeed the problem.
