Semitic people

In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", , translated as "name") was first used to refer to a language family of West Asian origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Ahlamu, Akkadian (Assyrian-Babylonian), Amharic, Ammonite, Amorite, Arabic, Aramaic/Syriac, Canaanite (Phoenician/Carthaginian/Hebrew), Chaldean, Eblaite, Edomite, Ge'ez, Maltese, Mandaic, Moabite, Sutean, Tigre and Tigrinya, and Ugaritic, among others. As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the e...

Oh

yeah ...

I'm fasting...

no worries lol

> Malaysia Airlines filed a flight plan requesting to fly at 35,000 feet throughout Ukraine airspace but was instructed by Ukraine air traffic control to fly at 33,000 feet upon entry, it said in a statement late on Friday.

I don’t think that would have made a difference, if I understand the particular missile used.

Saladin

no missile can reach this height

which particular missile used?

RegDwigнt

Buk.

tchrist

1:11 PM

Then you suspect the plane was downed by a meteor?

RegDwigнt

Up to 25 kilometers.

skullpatrol

@Saladin are you an expert on missles?

Saladin

what does it do?

RegDwigнt

It takes down planes.

Saladin

NO MY country is though

skullpatrol

1:12 PM

Orly?

Zoe

@tchrist Wait, does it mean Ukraine wanted to shoot down the Malaysian plane?!

tchrist

@RegDwigнt So 35k instead of 32k would have made no difference against something with an 82k operating range.

Saladin

impossible why would you fire BUK if the target is not fighterjet?

Zoe

Or was it just a precaution?

RegDwigнt

Frankly, there are countries that built missiles that have left the Solar System by now, and I doubt your country is one of them :P

skullpatrol

1:13 PM

lol

tchrist

@Saladin Stoopidity.

Zoe

Is this a sequel to the previous MH hijack? And Malaysian govt not releasing prisoner?

tchrist

@Zoe I don’t think we know this.

Saladin

no fighterjet throws bombs from this height unless its b-52 bomber?

tchrist

@Zoe Unlikely. Not impossible. But seems unlikely.

Zoe

1:14 PM

@tchrist It is suspicious though, any country would have welcomed it if the planes flew higher rather then lower.....

RegDwigнt

@tchrist it's a fat-ass 777, too. It doesn't have a chance against anything at any height or speed.

KitFox

Shooting fish in a barrel.

Zoe

@tchrist I thought it was a revenge hit because I think there was somewhere before it said some group threatened that the MH hijack is not the end.

RegDwigнt

Even if they knew all along that a missile had been launched at them, the 30 seconds wouldn't have been enough to react.

tchrist

@RegDwigнt It makes hitting the broad side of a barn seem like a tiny target in comparison.

Zoe

1:16 PM

And many countries are now targeting Malaysia in debts and flight related issues after the MH incident

Saladin

I think CIA fired it to frame RUSSIA as evil

simple answer

KitFox

Oi.

You needn't make it all big.

Saladin

is this your wife?

jewish wife

skullpatrol

:D

RegDwigнt

I think I fired it so people would blame CIA for framing Russia as evil.

Beauty and the Beast

"Beauty and the Beast" () is a traditional fairy tale. The first published version was a rendition by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, published in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins in 1740. The best-known written version was an abridgement of her work published in 1756 by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, in Magasin des enfants, ou dialogues entre une sage gouvernante et plusieurs de ses élèves; an English translation appeared in 1757. Variants of the tale are known across Europe. In France, for example, Zémire et Azor is an operatic version of the story, written by Mar...

@Saladin on the last three occasions I traveled to Moscow, Chechens killed 30 people there, brought down two(!) planes killing hundreds, and killed 300 children in a school. Coincidence?

KitFox

@MattЭллен Apparently she is married to a Jewish me.

@RegDwigнt and?

Saladin

1:29 PM

SHOW ME !!!

Zoe

@Saladin No one is hating you. You do seem to think destroying the drones with missiles would help. They're drones, the US have more and can make more. Downing drones with missiles will cause collateral damage, incite a full-on war that will kill more innocents than the drones!

RegDwigнt

@skullpatrol well, his accent in German is unmistakable. Rather thick indeed.

KitFox

@JasperLoy Indeed.

Saladin

okay you say don't mess with big BROTHER!

Saladin

1:32 PM

okay Polite I'm

KitFox

"Women in catsuits" is not a question.

Zoe

@Saladin Seems like you hate innocent people that die because of war, too. As if hate is a justification for fighting fire with fire. if the US don't have a sound mind, you don't either.

KitFox

@Zoe He has a right to think how he thinks, as you think what you think. Let's not try to change minds here.

I usually keep quiet in a debate so that I cannot be wrong.

Zoe

@KitFox Yea he does. His freedom of speech does not denote that he would not get any backlash, though.

Saladin

Question#1 Why is there sudden media hype of women who want to appear normal discussing that they don't feel shame in not shaving their armpits? Further there are bunch of news articles ' on why women shave their legs'. I mean for me these are NO NO questions...whats the need to ask them in first place...Idk i'm confused I like women spot-clean no hair anywhere beside....(see @KitFox i'm pretty tactful i stopped)

KitFox

@Zoe True, and same with yours. And I don't want to have heated discussion in here. Neither of you will convince the other, so it is pointless.

@Saladin This is not tactful. This is very unpleasant.

I tried

1:36 PM

@Saladin I have no idea why the media suddenly cares. Also, most women probably don't care how you like them to appear.

Zoe

I really don't see how supporting a technique that will cause war, is the representation of a sound mind. But ok.

RegDwigнt

I have an idea why the media suddenly cares. Because it does not. Recency illusion. Loaded question. NARQ.

Ignore.

Saladin

that's not fair I like to get attracted to women with sexy long legs and no hair no one can take this right from me?:(

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@RegDwigнt Go on, ask me all the questions you've wanted to ask a lego

tchrist

@KitFox Funny that. I have a strange condition where I tilt my head 2 degrees counterclockwise and things look straight to me. It means I cannot take a straight picture without aligning something to the horizon very carefully, because my brain overrules what straightness is. Ansel Adams talks about this very unfortunate brain-bug in his books, but I forget its technical name now.

@tchrist Can't you tilt your head until the camera looks straight, instead of tilting the camera AND your head?

So I'm doing something, everything, right.

@RegDwigнt It answers the question but not the problem, which you said you could fix.

RegDwigнt

@Zoe or cause.

Please reserve misquoting for politicians.

@RegDwigнt But you haven't caused a problem?

@Zoe see! I am just so good!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist oh, viewfinder, of course. yeah that would be an issue.

tchrist

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 No, it doesn’t matter. I apparently normally keep my head a little bit cocked.

Zoe

@KitFox Well, that's like telling a drug abuser to just stop doing drugs or tell someone who is going through depression to just cheer up.

RegDwigнt

@Zoe so all you're saying is it works.

Jasper Loy

1:52 PM

@Zoe I believe the former is possible.

KitFox

@Zoe Well, it's a solution.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist But if you were using a camera screen as the viewfinder, you could align the picture on the screen relative to the lines of the camera and the horizon, etc, and your head-tilt would correct it all, no? because the camera wouldn't be on your head, so to speak.

Zoe

@JasperLoy Well, if that person is locked, duh. But willingly? That person might die from withdrawals. Not sure how dieing is fixing the problem there...

KitFox

@tchrist Vestibulo...damn. Almost had it.

Zoe

@RegDwigнt Lol, no.

Jasper Loy

1:53 PM

@Zoe I don't think he will die, but I am not sure.

RegDwigнt

@KitFox in fact, not only is that a solution, but anything else is not. You cannot stop doing drugs without stopping doing drugs. Not possible!

KitFox

@Zoe dying. dieing is something different.

tchrist

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I have no idea. I’ve never used the screen for a viewfinder. That would be silly.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Anyway I'm sure it must be annoying. I have a vision problem where I see double under certain circumstances (not always) and it's really annoying.

tchrist

The thing is, everything looks right to me, but it is not, and the camera does not lie.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

1:54 PM

@tchrist silly.... unless it helped.

Zoe

I thought dying is like dying of hair lol

tchrist

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 No, you just can’t do that. Not fast enough, and can’t see with it.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@tchrist Does your camera viewfinder have any overlays it can show? like some horizontal lines that you have to line up with the horizon

RegDwigнt

I see Jasper is at 135 already. I wonder if he'll retire at 150.

KitFox

@tchrist I had a friend who had a dog who had that.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Yes.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@RegDwigнt Well, I got 100 association bonus, that was lucky.

Matt Эллен

@JasperLoy this is how I look
