What do you call it when a country invades another; kills or by threat of force removes the standing goverment, religious leaders and the education system in place; forces the locals to work as cheap labor on penatly of death and uses the profit to benefit not the country they've usurped or the people therein, but the country the usurpers orginated from?
.
Depending on who does it and to whom, it can be called either an invasion or colonialism.
Please stop talking about this as if it's something to be proud of. It is VILE!

Just think about it, exercise AND nutrients all at the same time. Not only would it be a huuuge time saver, I think no one would ever be out of shape again.

I'm not so sure he'd give up. He has the look of determination in his bloodred eyes.

How does someone steal 2600 pieces of lego and have it go unnoticed long enough to build a shelter for himself?

He told some of his friends/peers about being raped and was then ridiculed for feeling bad. So much so, that he decided to hide his real feelings and act like his rape wasn't traumatising, but great.
His rape became such a defining part of him in the eyes of his peers that when he pretended to have liked it, he even became very populair because of it. Can you imagine?? People were celebrating his rape!
While all this is going on in his social circle, he's feeling terrible about the rape, obviously has problems dealing with it, but he doesn't feel he can express this.
As a result he now has a hard time trusting women because of the rape, can't speak out about it for fear of being ridiculed again and never really had a chance to deal with the psychological ramifications of it.
It's truly one of the most horrific things I've seen.

You can do anything you want to!
Question is if it's really the best thing for you, but hey, I'm not one to judge.
Follow your dreams cactus-lover!

I teared up reading this. It is disgusting and horrifying when the victim has to play off or dismiss a very traumatic event because the people in their environment won't take it seriously. This has to stop.
I'm sorry this happened and I'm even more sorry you weren't allowed to deal with the pain it caused.

Most of us do. I read a statistic that over 90% of Dutch people speak English and personally I don't even know anyone that doesn't.

It simplifies to all. 1/1 and 4/4 is one whole. You skipped all classes today, which in this case is 4 classes.
Point is: the meaning of the whole doesn't change by using fractions. 1/1 part of a pie when the pie is 9 inch in diameter isn't less then 4/4 part of a pie with a 9 inch diameter.
You still ate the whole damn pie.

Humor about people and animals stuck is not even on the same plane as this. This compares more to how Hitler invaded countries during WW2 then it compares to a man that fell of his friggen chair.
.
ALL, yes ALL the countries had governing in some shape or form. They ALL had religious leaders and educational systems in place.
Here's what the Netherlands did in Indonesia when they took over:
They murdered the priests and some of the abbeys, where there were only nuns, they converted into brothels. To make life easier on the nuns they simply used them as prostitutes.
These were women that had spend their entire lives dedicated to their god and a foreign group overpowers them and rapes them for years to come.
.
This is not a single incident. This sort of thing happened ALL OVER. In ever single colonised country.
.
And no, I will not sit here and say it's funny to dismiss they gruesome things that happened there.
