Italian coproduction if I remember correctly, it's a weird B-movie and I wonder how they managed to keep using the intellectual property for it.

Is an appeal after a jury trial possible? I thought i had heard it was final?

They will rip your dick out, Jamie send that video of jacked hairless chimps

Lol your 12! Get in your grave grandpa

Very normal and rational reaction to Bibi's hateful drivel. I prescribe you nothing, come back to my office when you're in the all caps, three exclamation marks stage.

You're really getting out of your way to miss my point. The number of professional writers is some orders of magnitude bigger than the number of billionaires, so much so that taking some arbitrary subset of writers of approximately the same size is easily done.

Another counter example (because I'm really nice like that): some contemporary French writers, just from memory:

• Annie Ernaux
• JMG Le Clezio
• Amélie Nothomb
• Michel Houellebecq
• Erik Orsenna
• Virginie Despentes
• Patrick Modiano
• Christine Angot
• Jean Echenoz
• Sylvain Tesson
• Marie Ndiaye
• Virginie Grimaldi
• Marc Levy
• Alain Finkielkraut
• Michel Onfray
• Mélissa da Costa
• Andrei Making
• François Cheng
• JC Rufin

Yes I know, it's not 43, but I could easily go to my local bookshop and find 180 more, and again 43 billionaires is a lot for 70 million inhabitants. In any case the number of 500 writers in the article is laughable.

But that's not the main point. What gets on my nerves is that the author of the article is cherry picking facts to entertain an idea. I could deliberately try something like "but you know there are more astronauts than true painters" and refute everything opposed to this with No true Scotsman fallacies.

The article proves absolutely nothing and the author makes a mess of logical thinking, while managing to blur what the wider perspective is supposed to be.

He has a wife you know...

Just one then, there are 43 billionaires in France (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_billionaires_by_net_worth).

And there are around 40 people in the French Academy alone. That's only a small part of French writers.

And 43 billionaires is a rather big number. Compared to Pakistan or Colombia where the comparison would be even more skewed.

Frankly the whole article is just bizarrely defining metrics to fit the narrative.

Given the respective numbers of professional book writers and billionaires, I doubt it very much.

Wait a minute, a calzone is a pizzussy, not a sandwich surely? Scientists worldwide would be baffled by this revelation

That's not a sub, that's an underground metropolitan transportation system. A sub is a little train that goes in tunnels under the city.

Bigus Dickus?

Wise words from a wise person

The good thing about not using the /s, is that I can always tell myself that I'm downvoted because other people are morons, rather than thinking that I am a moron myself (which I am anyway).

(But for the record, I despise immensely people who think that some subsets of mankind are naturally less clever than others. And I understand that the meme was memed in good faith and its sexism doesn't necessarily reflect the opinion of OP)

You see, a woman would have never thought of that simple solution, because her diminutive brain functions are only used for household tasks and cannot adapt to complex problem solving. This is why they shouldn't drive or vote.

Hoping you will be happy forever!
