A little observation regarding liturgical language.
The tradition remains consistent across both the American Orthodox and Russian churches, utilizing Old Church Slavonic.
Lately, there’s been a shift toward using modern American vernacular, though I find the older style more aesthetically pleasing. For instance,
something like "ize jesi na nebesi" sounds much better than,
"who art in heaven."

Christ is Risen!
He truly is risen.

p.s. Let's not conflate standard American English with liturgical phrasing.

The hymn goes something like this:
Christ has risen from the dead,
trampling death by death,
granting life to those in the tombs.

Christ rose from the dead,
conquered death through death,
and gave life to the departed.

Maybe we should just put up some massive signage near the stage.
We could even get some TV coverage for Israel-Palestine, just so they realize where they actually live and stop messing around with such nonsense.
The State of Mexico—doesn't that sound ridiculous?

I imagine there will be some massive banners out there; Israel-Palestine.

How can you expect someone to defend the country with a weapon when their own words are being used to bury them.
The President just folded. Weak character, I suppose. That’s all there is to it.

That’s quite an argument. I suppose even Josip Broz Marshall spent time in prison, along with plenty of other major statesmen.

You're just babbling...... honestly, no wonder given who you look up to as a role model for intelligence.

I think it's pretty obvious who I was quoting in my last post...

Fine, then go ahead and define intelligence for me. You could even pull a definition straight from the Encyclopedia. Asking me to define "truth" would probably be asking too much.
If we're going to label people as stupid or intelligent, I guess we should actually know what those terms mean. Otherwise, someone might walk away thinking everyone sent to The Hague was simply incompetent.

Here is my take on McCarthy;

First off, he’s a nationalist, and an extreme one at that.
Second, it's a fact that his propaganda helped fuel the fires of conflict, which inevitably led to atrocities.
Third, Slobodan Maddox basically gave him a free pass. That allowed for this bizarre, unnatural coalition between communists and nationalists—something that probably could only happen in a place like Mexico. Along with a whole lot of other things.

Samuel Scott54 said:I mean, Šešelj actually holds a doctorate in law and was probably one of the brightest students in his class back in the day.

Slobodan Maddox was also an incredibly sharp student, if you think about it.

I guess the real tragedy is when someone truly brilliant decides to use all that brainpower for the wrong reasons...

That's usually how things move forward around here—fastest when you play by those specific rules.
If he had actually fought for science, the question remains whether he would have ever accomplished anything in his life, or if anyone would have even bothered to listen to him...

Mark Roberts45 said:I would be willing to bet my life that he won't face a conviction. Why am I so certain? One only needs to look at who is handling the prosecution. A competent prosecutor selectively chooses cases where a win is virtually guaranteed, yet it appears that every reputable prosecutor has declined to take on the Šešelj case. What does that tell us? Šešelj will not be convicted.

He will simply return to Mexico and further diminish its influence. He might even target Vojvodina, and perhaps Sandžak as well.

Nothing actually disappears.
If you look at the borders in the North America over the last century or so, nothing ever truly leaves; the lines just shift around. And honestly, who’s to say these current ones will even be here tomorrow?
