Is a hot dog stand a restaurant?

It's a business with a kitchen, staff (1 person) and a dining area on occasion (foldable plastic chairs and tables).

Putin shouldn't be quartered. He deserves the boats (with full medical care to ensure he remains alive and conscious for as long as possible).

I don't think pedophile is accurate here.

It's power difference why someone would want to "date" a 16 year old. It allows for very easy abuse which is usually the main motivation. Sexual attraction to children is less likely because far fewer people are pedophiles than abusers.

You are right. And snowing similarly implies that it's cold outside. But you cannot reliably conclude whether it is snowing if you only know it is cold.

The number of people abusing social systems is a rounding error.

At least in Germany, there are so many barriers in place to prevent ""leeches"" that people who are actually in need of social support don't have any access. Which is the entire point of erecting barriers might I add.

It's because of this image:

It went viral on Chinese social media and was quickly censored by the state. As a result, comparing Xi to Winnie the Pooh became a symbol of resistance in China.

Both the German Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court of Justice have applied Radbruch's formula numerous times. Its first court appearances were in cases concerned with National Socialist crimes. The defendants in those cases argued that, according to Nazi statutes valid at the time of their acts, those acts had been legal. The courts used Radbruch's formula to argue that some statutes were so intolerable that they had not been law in the first place and consequently could not be used to justify the acts in question.

This is the current interpretation of the meaning of "law" in Germany. Laws which are entirely unjust must be disobeyed.

Though this is different from an administration ignoring the rule of law. In that case it's fairly obvious that violations of laws can be prosecuted by any following administration.

Not quite. Immigrants intend to stay forever, while expats don't (in my opinion).

That is, if these self-called "expats" do intend to stay forever and obtain citizenship they very much are immigrants who don't want to call themselves immigrants.

Chambers, who has lived in Thailand for years, specializes in studying the influence of the Thai military, which plays a prominent role in the nation's politics.

This is the sole reason for the arrest. Besides, why are you arguing someone who has lived in a country for years is just a guest?

Paint. Yes. That's what I saw. Paint.

There's no way this is how Rumpelstilzchen is spelled in English...

duckduckgoes

IT IS. English takes every single French word, keeps its spelling but mangles the pronunciation but for Rumpelstilzchen the pronunciation is somehow more relevant than the spelling? It makes some sense, but the ending "stiltskin" is an abomination.

The meaning of "stilzchen" is "small stilt" by the way - so he should've be called "Grumblestilty" in English.
