But I don't ik accepteer cookies

[martinuzz]

Dutch public newspaper / broadcast service cookies are relatively harmless.

Thank you, OW. It certainly is worth it

The lesson here, martinuzz, is to stop using photobucket immediately. It's TYOOL 2016, and photobucket has been a sad excuse of a photo hosting site since 2006.

This may explain why my avatar suddenly disappeared.

What's TYOOL?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Isn't it cute? I can understand ignoring Baltic states but Poland? Half of Germans want a common border with Russia?

[Sergarr]

Most Germans hate their army and would like to see it either gone completely or never used at all, more news at 11.

"The Year of our Lord", if I had to guess.

Yeah. I've been seeing it used around the internet in that form lately, and I'm pretty glad about it because it always reminds me of the intro animation to Sid Meyer's Colonization from way back in the day every time I use it.

[Orange Wizard]

Huh, interesting. What's public opinion in Germany like on their NATO membership? Would the average German like to break out of the treaty?

[ChairmanPoo]

You're wrong. Its like YOLO but switched around

[martinuzz]

The Turkish chairman of parliament, Ismail Kahraman, has said that TUrkey needs a new, religious constitution, which abolishes secularism.
The chairman is a member of Erdogan's AK party, has been wanting to write a new constitution for a long time now. The old constitution has been written when the army seized control in 1980. Erdogan wants a constitution that gives more authority to the president. But now, removal of secularism has been added to that wishlist.

The AK party has 317 out of 550 seats in parliament. To change the constition, 330 votes are needed, which would mean they need votes from other parties. It is doubtful they will get that support.

The leader of the largest opposition party CHP, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, twittered that "secularism is the most important principle of social peace. Secularism is here to ensure that everyone has religious freedom."

Inb4 Turkey reinstates sharia law and gets kicked out of NATO

Ah, that feeling of inter-European solidarity. It warms the soul.

Inb4 Turkey reinstates sharia law and gets kicked out of NATO

If Turkey reinstates sharia law, then it wouldn't be kicked from NATO. Rather, NATO (or at least, its European parts) would be "advised", by European authorities, to "diversify" and include basic knowledge of sharia law as a part of European NATO soldier training.

I mean, at the rate we're currently going (with refugee crisis getting exponentially bigger every, fucking, year), most of the young people in Europe (and young people are manning the army) are going to have some knowledge of sharia law, already.

knowledge of sharia law

I think everyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past few years knows about sharia law and how it's basically barbarism
