Re: Eurabia = Europe sucks (none / 1)

In the "Look out Europe, they say" article, I've noted the following word use, excluding their use in quotes/surveys and as non-quantifiers/adverbs/modals:

rather (in sense «rather odd», not in sense «rather this than that») => 5 times

many (as in «many Muslims») => 6 times

some (as in «some Muslims») => 14 times

may (as in «may affect») => 6 times

seem (as in «seem to be») => 5 times

These represent over 1% of all words used. This may be a high number. Many words are common, but some are not. This is a fact, it seems.

Re: Eurabia = Europe sucks (none / 1)

The author(s) are being magnanimous, not wanting their self-evident truths to hurt too much.

In some transatlantic squabbles, the American message has been delivered more in sorrow than in anger.

Re: Eurabia = Europe sucks (none / 1)

I think the same can be said of the European message being delivered to American diplomats over the past 5 years, to judge by press accounts.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
