Just possibly not as widespread as Trump seemed to claim.
"Possibly"?  "Seemed"?  Could you be any more of a weasel?  Yeah, yeah, I know, you're "kidding"/"exaggerating"/"trolling", sure thing.

Why are you so sure it didn't happen? We have eyewitness testimony that it did.  :P

That's really interesting Timmy. Thanks. And yeah, that fact has been mostly absent from major media coverage of the region and conflict.

A colleague of mine is from Belgium and splits his time between Brussels and Atlanta - he has an office here. We are writing on his door well wishes--he was in the airport when the bombs went off. Does anyone have a nice french phrase I could write?

Something along the lines of "We are glad you are safe - welcome back!"
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

maybe he's dutchspeaking. :p.

anyways: here's my attempt: "Nous sommes heureux que tu es/vous êtes en sécurité - bon retour!". My French is not that good though.
on the offchance you'd need the Dutch: "We zijn blij dat je/u veilig bent - welkom terug!"
in both cases: [familiar]/[polite], chose as appropriate

Thanks! He is French speaking.

So he sound and look like Hercule Poirot?

No on both counts. :P

Someone wrote on his door, "vive la france! vive la (foreign word for belgium)!"

Any failure of language is probably my failure to remember the exact phrasing on the door. My point is, it seems odd to include france.

I believe the direct translation of that phrase is "voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"  :frog:

The true villain is revealed. 


I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
