    Private Policing

    1) Jurisdiction doesn’t mean much here – but experience and knowledge mean a lot. And there’s no question who has more on the subject, between you and me. 2) I have no preferential treatment for justice issues over food issues – I just stick to the topic of the forum, unlike you. 3) Police...

    Private Policing

    LeBrok, your logic is weak. You have lost the case, there’s nothing to do. 1) What the heck does food have to do with the privatization of the police? Both need some form of public control in order to avoid the risks of profit-only tendencies, which you crave so much, but Toyomotor is right...

    Classical music Most romantic works by Mozart ?

    You are totally right. And by the way - this point is well known to musicologists, who now agree on the proto-romanticism of many pages by Mozart. Of course, we are talking of romanticism in its proper meaning: as a cultural, literary and artistic movement that placed a new interest on...

    Classical music Your favourite composers : evolution with the age ?

    Maciamo, I guess the evolution in musical taste is a perfectly healthy process that goes along with personal maturation. During the 10 years studies for my piano diploma I have grown up from Beethoven to Chopin to Mozart to the ultimate god of music: J. S. Bach. Now it's been 12 years of Bach...

    Classical music Don Giovanni , 2nd Act, Commendatore Scene - Mozart

    Note the astonishing harmonic effect of the music on the musical phrase "Non si pasce di cibo mortale chi si pasce di cibo celeste! Altre cure più gravi di queste altra brama quaggiù mi guidò!" it's pure atonality 150 years ahead of its time. Here and somewhere else, Mozart employed this...

    For the first time I have the pleasure to show you my arse

    Hahahaha. And what about these italian locality names: Belsedere (province of Siena) = "nice ass" Orgia (province of Siena again) = "orgy", of course Ramazzano le Pulci (province of Perugia) = "they swipe the fleas away" Po di Gnocca (province of Rovigo) = "a bit of pussy"

    Perfect. Or even comparable to fire - absolutely necessary for human life, but if you let it go free and wild it will burn your ***

    Greatest Polish contribution(s) to the world ?

    Besides expressing admiration for the parliamentary developments of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, I agree with Linas72 saying that modern democracy wasn't invented in one day. In fact much older examples are known, the first of all being probably the "Parlamento della Patria del Friuli"...

    Classical music Which classical composers do you know ?

    Btw - can somebody please amend the spelling of Schubert (not Shubert) in the multiple choice poll? Leave Mussorgski without a "g" if you want - but poor Schubert, so divinely genial and unfortunate, even with the spelling of his name...

    Classical music Which classical composers do you know ?

    Excuse me Maciamo, what do you mean by "easy listening" when referring to Johann Sebastian Bach? It's a pity if you're missing the tremendous logical and mathematical subtleties hidden beneath the Musikalische Opfer, the Kunst der Fuge or the Goldberg Variationen, just to name a few... Just to...

    With your permission (or without - it's the same), I used "we" where I had something shared with previous statements of other users. NOT where YOU think there were opinions shared. Period.
