The wife's plan to steal common property was like that:
1) she hit her husband to provoce him
(aaayyy, 22 April 2012 13:38)

Exactly, and the husband was so stupid to be provoked and paid for the stupidity
----------

2) as she saw provocation worked as planned she started crying "Help me, help me!"
(aaayyy, 22 April 2012 13:38)

she was smart, not like the dumb husband
----------

3) then she said "if he mistreated me, I have all rights for our common property" and convinced the others to justify it.
(aaayyy, 22 April 2012 13:38)

Yep, you finally understood it… but the dumb husband fell for it

She left him and took his property - that was the problem, not her departure.

But when you live more than 5 (various in different countries) years with each-other, you own it together. It's the so called "community property".

So it is community property, not just hers, as she decided.

Especially when the husband threatened his wife with death, and after brutal mistreatments he attempt to kill her.

Leave this hate behind, move on, learn to tolerate, learn to love
(only me)

But some people think that it is impossible for Serbs and Albanians to leave this hate behind in Kosovo as a part of Serbia, but somehow it is possible in independent Kosovo. Where is the logic, I wonder?

"This is like a man who mistreated his wife for years. After a last nasty fight, she left him a dozen years ago. She has since made her own life and wants nothing more to do with him. But he still keeps insisting that the divorce wasn't legal, that as far as he's concerned she'll "always be his". But saying so won't to make it so. "
(Observer, 21 April 2012 18:18)

A good comparison, I think. Maybe to add that the wife took the house, ground, pets and other things the couple possessed together when she 'made her own life' and shouts 'I declare all these things as mine'

The German and Austrian Troops will not hinder Albania to invade and take Kosovo !.

And when the Balkan War starts again,
with Germany backing Austrian and Croatian invasion in Bosnia and Montenegro,
what will the German and Austrian Troops in Kosovo do ?.

“KFOR's task is to maintain a secure environment for all people in Kosovo in an impartial way,” he stated, adding that it had done so for over 10 years and would continue in the same fashion."

I have seen last 10 years very differently somehow. More then 200 churches and monasteries burnt, virtually all nonalbanian population expelled, impunity for continuous attacks on Serbs...

And he is now telling us that they will continue in the same fashion.??!!!

The original inhabitants, the Albanians, have every right to rule Kosova. Any illusion to the contrary will only lead to disappointment for the Serbs. Why set yourselves up for more humiliation.
(The Count of Kosova, 21 April 2012 18:57)

Perhaps if France and Germany were given back to Celts, North America to the natives, Ionia to the Greeks your argument would hold water. The legal status of Kosovo is that of a province of Serbia in accordance with UNSC Resolution 1244. I'm assuming you also take the argument that Albanians were descendants of Illyrians, which is not conclusive whatsoever, but then you would have to lay claim to a vast swathe of territory, of which I'm sure your neighbours would not be too pleased with. Come back when you have an argument that is more consistent and less full of holes.

But when you live more than 5 (various in different countries) years with each-other, you own it together. It's the so called "community property". And the longer the marriage, the more likely a court is to view the husband and wife as equal partners.

Especially when the husband threatened his wife with death, and after brutal mistreatments he attempt to kill her.

You wrote "his property". So it means that Albanians own absolutely nothing in Kosovo, it's that right? Everything is yours? Not even the houses and the land...?
And witch is the solution according to you?

We have physical history in Kosovo, sacred sites that are now heavily protected under UNESCO and you won't be able to continue trying to burn away the evidence.

(trizo, 21 April 2012 14:06)

Trizo,

No one wants to burn anything sacred. However, you must realize the Serbs are relative newcomers to the Balkans just as the Turks were. You are and always were a minority in Kosova just as the Turks were. We all know what happened to the Turks. The original inhabitants, the Albanians, have every right to rule Kosova. Any illusion to the contrary will only lead to disappointment for the Serbs. Why set yourselves up for more humiliation.
(The Count of Kosova, 21 April 2012 18:57)

Alright, if thats the case then can you please explain the following:

1. If the Serbs were always a minority in Kosovo, then how come Turkish records indicate they made up 98% of the population in the 15th century, and 65% in the 19th century?

2. If all the churches, monuments and other sites were built by the minority Serbs, then why didnt the Albanians leave anything behind?

3. If the Albanians were the first inhabitants in the Balkans, then why are there no records of them being there until the 11th century?

4. If the Albanians were the Illyrians, then how come the last mention of the Illyrians came in the 3rd century, 700 years before any mention of Albanians?

5. Why are you embarrasing yourself?

But you can't say :The Albanians who left Albania to migrate to Kosovo have no real history. That's not true. Albanians are in their own country and they have their own history like you do. What does it mean "real history"? Such statements are very offending.
(leo, 21 April 2012 15:48)

Ok. They have a real history and it's wrong to deny a proper existence. I exaggerate because we Serbs have been slowly exterminated with no recourse. We were bombed without UN approval and a known terrorist organisation KLA were taken off the black list purely to fight against Serbs.

Since then hundreds of our monasteries have been burnt to the ground, grave sites desecrated and not a single ethnically motivated murder of Serbians have been solved by the "Kosovo Police".

It's pathetic that Albanians here try to broadcast that Serbians have more rights than any other minority in Europe. It is a mythical legend for Albanian consumption.

Albanians have even tried to rewrite the history books to be taught in Kosovo RE Ottoman Empire. Trying to teach the kids a 'revised' version of our history??

Serbs had been the majority populace since our first monastery was built & Bulgarians empire recognised this and thus integrated Kosovo into our kingdom. The Albanians had only settled in small clans around Kosovo and over time started to grow in population.

The Turks took Kosovo under their rule and because the ALbanians didn't like living under Serbian rule they eventually saw an opportunity to get what they want by siding with the Ottomans. We all know that Albanians in Kosovo changed their religion and their family names and knew this would help them gain status over the Serbs, whilst avoiding land tax for being muslims.

It's now a black hole and the herroin hub of Europe, black market ops and other organised mafia crime.

What we find offensive is that the Albanians in Pristina think they can rule the North and make outlandish statements about Kosovo's statehood and all borders are drawn and will not change again.

Albanians have no place in the North and no place to try and integrate the North into the state (that we do not recognise).

I would like to make peace but far fetched rhetoric from Pristina will be reason enough to never find this peace.

Just the fact there is a statue of Bill Clinton in Kosovo is enough of an insult to never respect anything that is in or comes from Pristina.

The interesting in the german newspaper is not the article but a comment from a german KFOR soldier here
http://forum.spiegel.de/f22/spannung-im-kosovo-bundeswehr-schickt-eingreiftruppe-auf-den-balkan-59322-3.html#post10055476

For those of you who don't understand it, here the translation. Take special caare of the last sentences

"So, now I have to intervene once. That what is here as a message, distorts the whole situation. I'm stationed myself for 2 years in Kosovo. The fact is that Kosovo's government has threatened violence in case the elections are held. We can see the concentration of the Albanian special forces (ROSA) to which will be released to the Serb civilians, if they only hold elections. We are encouraged to stop the Albanians , not the Serbs! The situation escalated in fact, constantly assaults to the Serbian minority are reported. The pressure on the minorities in Kosovo is enormous and currently our mission is to prevent pogroms as in 2004. Why Der Spiegel {name of the newspaper}does not write about his, is unbelievable. Even the Albanians in Macedonia play with fire to gain a "natural" Albania, which is nothing more than a Greater Albania. Even after 12 years, here is no little sign of integrity and democracy. It is wasted time and efforts and I fear we are on the wrong side."

We Serbs never gave into a ruler and we never would in the future. Unfortunately for you, you Albanians cannot say the same so all it would take for you to change your views would be another ruling empire. You've proven this in the past.
(trizo, 21 April 2012 14:06)

trizo, I do not know when Albanians gave into a ruler, it looks like you read your own book, made by you, about Albanians history.
Any way the question is not about ruling Serbians in Kosovo. The question is are going to change or not the Kosovo borders? For most of people, that question is already answered, but it looks like you guys(Serbian) do not like it. Lets come to ruling, who, whom. If we follow your logic, most of Serbians in Kosovo are ruled by Albanians since majority of them are south of Ibar river. But that is not true because Albanians are not ruling Serbians. They just like to administer them self to Kosovo.
Serbians with 5% of population in all entire Kosovo have 20% of sits in Kosovo parliament. Their rights in Kosovo are more than any other minority in Europe, not to be compared with any minority in Serbia, because will be horrible comparison. End You like it or not they are just another minority in Kosovo.
But continuing with Milosevics policies, will end worse for you Serbians in general, and particularly in Kosovo. Is your choice to be part of Europe or like some state in Africa. Starting from 1989 till now you did just that, is time to open your ayes and change.

Leo is right, not jus bcos hes albanian but bcus he speaks the truth
this is explained with genetics and biology that different ethnicities in the balkans in reality are much similar with each other than falsely boasted by the nationalistic few who fly their slogans high claiming to be "different" and "better" and "pure"... its all BS
Leave this hate behind, move on, learn to tolerate, learn to love, give the younger generations at least a chance, a glimpse of what peace might feel like because sooner or later, as much as we hate our neighbours, they are still our neighbours. And I have to say that Albanians are known for their hospitality and honesty (something the Serbs possess even at a greater and better degree… BUT their politicians, their churches and recently amended constitutions arrogantly denies such truths). Multi-ethnicity and tolerance do not stand a chance with Rankovic and Milosevic.. or maybe not even with Thaci.
We have to think differently to overcome this hurdle. Our yesterdays thinking is never going to solve problems and challenges faced today let alone tomorrow.
BUT I warn all of you that if we think of destroying one party at the reward of the other. In that scenario everyone will lose. Let’s learn from the past, not live in it.

We all know what sending reinforcements mean don't we? It means not for a second is the world stupid enough to give Serbs in Kosova breathing room to cause trouble! Reinforcements mean that any interlopers and trouble makers will get smashed before they even have a chance to "fight back". The reinforcements are there to back up ROSU and KPS when they begin smashing ballot boxes, arresting people for illegal activity. The north is going to be covered with soldiers. The local trouble makers will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Get ready to NOT have an election in Kosova. This is a big big test coming up. If Serbs are prevented from voting, it will be a major sign that Serbia has failed in winning Kosova back and a major sign that theres nothing Serbia can do about it. Happy voting! haha

I'm born in a small village deeply in South of Albania. (near Greece and FYROM).
And there are many toponyms of a slavic origin: Corovoda (cerna) for example. They are also ottoman, greek, roman, and other names and toponyms. The same for archi-

Does that mean that I, my family don't live in our land, and we have no history?
No, that's not true, I sure you.
Different cultures as everywhere; a pure, a pristine country, race or language, doesn't exist. It's just a false and sick idea. Humans have interacted in all kinds of ways throughout their existence especially in the last centuries. Surely, each region or country has its own civilization, language and other specifics.

We, Albanians have our own culture, history, language, ancient places dating BC (Scutarum, Lissus, Epidamnum, Antipathrea...) and we love them.

Let the history in the past, as it is a fragile issue in Balkan, and we share very different opinions due to lack of communication, sharing and discussing them scientifically.

I have always said that there are some Honest Albanians, and an Albanian who wrote a comment has proven this.

He was Honest with his Speech, even though he was not honest with his intended behaviour, because he wanted to steal Serbian land to create a Greater Albania.

I have yet to hear one Albanian comment that the NATO war was based on Lies, and that as an Albanian, he wants more than Autonomy, but less than Independence, but I am sure that there must a few, but they are too intelligent to let anyone know that.

These few truly Honest Albanians will lie to conceal it, and while I cannot agree with Lying, I do understand it, and would probably do the same if I was an Albanian.

All Albanians know that if they Confess to this in a Court of Law, then it would help Serbia receive Compensation from taking NATO to Court, or a 100 Billion Euros out of Court Settlement and if you divide that equally with all the People of the Former Yugoslavia, then would be thousands of Euros for every man, woman, and child in the former Yugoslavia, and Euros do not lose their value as easily as some other Currencies.

Serbs will hold parliamentary, presidential and LOCAL elections in north and KPS will be stopped by KFOR to intervene. Then the international community will declare the local elections as illegal and without legal foundations. After few months the same international community will say that for the solution of the problem in north kosova the opinion of the local community needs to be considered and the same elected reps that 2 month before are declared as illegal will be legalized.

Kosova one more time after the Ahtisari plan, bizarre constitution, 6 point plan, the "technical negotiations" and the last * "agreement" will be forced by her friends(???) to accept imposed solutions that she doesn't like.

Serbs will hold parliamentary, presidential and LOCAL elections in north and KPS will be stopped by KFOR to intervene. Then the international community will declare the local elections as illegal and without legal foundations. After few months the same international community will say that for the solution of the problem in north kosova the opinion of the local community needs to be considered and the same elected reps that 2 month before are declared as illegal will be legalized.

Kosova one more time after the Ahtisari plan, bizarre constitution, 6 point plan, the "technical negotiations" and the last * "agreement" will be forced by her friends(???) to accept imposed solutions that she doesn't like.

For those of you who don't understand it, here the translation. Take special caare of the last sentences

"So, now I have to intervene once. That what is here as a message, distorts the whole situation. I'm stationed myself for 2 years in Kosovo. The fact is that Kosovo's government has threatened violence in case the elections are held. We can see the concentration of the Albanian special forces (ROSA) to which will be released to the Serb civilians, if they only hold elections. We are encouraged to stop the Albanians , not the Serbs! The situation escalated in fact, constantly assaults to the Serbian minority are reported. The pressure on the minorities in Kosovo is enormous and currently our mission is to prevent pogroms as in 2004. Why Der Spiegel {name of the newspaper}does not write about his, is unbelievable. Even the Albanians in Macedonia play with fire to gain a "natural" Albania, which is nothing more than a Greater Albania. Even after 12 years, here is no little sign of integrity and democracy. It is wasted time and efforts and I fear we are on the wrong side."

For most of people, that question is already answered, but it looks like you guys(Serbian) do not like it. Lets come to ruling, who, whom. If we follow your logic, most of Serbians in Kosovo are ruled by Albanians since majority of them are south of Ibar river. But that is not true because Albanians are not ruling Serbians. They just like to administer them self to Kosovo.
Serbians with 5% of population in all entire Kosovo have 20% of sits in Kosovo parliament. Their rights in Kosovo are more than any other minority in Europe, not to be compared with any minority in Serbia, because will be horrible comparison.

Leo is right, not jus bcos hes albanian but bcus he speaks the truth
this is explained with genetics and biology that different ethnicities in the balkans in reality are much similar with each other than falsely boasted by the nationalistic few who fly their slogans high claiming to be "different" and "better" and "pure"... its all BS
Leave this hate behind, move on, learn to tolerate, learn to love, give the younger generations at least a chance, a glimpse of what peace might feel like because sooner or later, as much as we hate our neighbours, they are still our neighbours. And I have to say that Albanians are known for their hospitality and honesty (something the Serbs possess even at a greater and better degree… BUT their politicians, their churches and recently amended constitutions arrogantly denies such truths). Multi-ethnicity and tolerance do not stand a chance with Rankovic and Milosevic.. or maybe not even with Thaci.
We have to think differently to overcome this hurdle. Our yesterdays thinking is never going to solve problems and challenges faced today let alone tomorrow.
BUT I warn all of you that if we think of destroying one party at the reward of the other. In that scenario everyone will lose. Let’s learn from the past, not live in it.

We all know what sending reinforcements mean don't we? It means not for a second is the world stupid enough to give Serbs in Kosova breathing room to cause trouble! Reinforcements mean that any interlopers and trouble makers will get smashed before they even have a chance to "fight back". The reinforcements are there to back up ROSU and KPS when they begin smashing ballot boxes, arresting people for illegal activity. The north is going to be covered with soldiers. The local trouble makers will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Get ready to NOT have an election in Kosova. This is a big big test coming up. If Serbs are prevented from voting, it will be a major sign that Serbia has failed in winning Kosova back and a major sign that theres nothing Serbia can do about it. Happy voting! haha

Perhaps if France and Germany were given back to Celts, North America to the natives, Ionia to the Greeks your argument would hold water. The legal status of Kosovo is that of a province of Serbia in accordance with UNSC Resolution 1244. I'm assuming you also take the argument that Albanians were descendants of Illyrians, which is not conclusive whatsoever, but then you would have to lay claim to a vast swathe of territory, of which I'm sure your neighbours would not be too pleased with. Come back when you have an argument that is more consistent and less full of holes.

3. If the Albanians were the first inhabitants in the Balkans, then why are there no records of them being there until the 11th century?

(leo, 21 April 2012 15:48)

Ok. They have a real history and it's wrong to deny a proper existence. I exaggerate because we Serbs have been slowly exterminated with no recourse. We were bombed without UN approval and a known terrorist organisation KLA were taken off the black list purely to fight against Serbs.

Since then hundreds of our monasteries have been burnt to the ground, grave sites desecrated and not a single ethnically motivated murder of Serbians have been solved by the "Kosovo Police".

It's pathetic that Albanians here try to broadcast that Serbians have more rights than any other minority in Europe. It is a mythical legend for Albanian consumption.

Albanians have even tried to rewrite the history books to be taught in Kosovo RE Ottoman Empire. Trying to teach the kids a 'revised' version of our history??

Serbs had been the majority populace since our first monastery was built & Bulgarians empire recognised this and thus integrated Kosovo into our kingdom. The Albanians had only settled in small clans around Kosovo and over time started to grow in population.

The Turks took Kosovo under their rule and because the ALbanians didn't like living under Serbian rule they eventually saw an opportunity to get what they want by siding with the Ottomans. We all know that Albanians in Kosovo changed their religion and their family names and knew this would help them gain status over the Serbs, whilst avoiding land tax for being muslims.

It's now a black hole and the herroin hub of Europe, black market ops and other organised mafia crime.

What we find offensive is that the Albanians in Pristina think they can rule the North and make outlandish statements about Kosovo's statehood and all borders are drawn and will not change again.

Albanians have no place in the North and no place to try and integrate the North into the state (that we do not recognise).

I would like to make peace but far fetched rhetoric from Pristina will be reason enough to never find this peace.

Just the fact there is a statue of Bill Clinton in Kosovo is enough of an insult to never respect anything that is in or comes from Pristina.

No, that's not true, I sure you.
Different cultures as everywhere; a pure, a pristine country, race or language, doesn't exist. It's just a false and sick idea. Humans have interacted in all kinds of ways throughout their existence especially in the last centuries. Surely, each region or country has its own civilization, language and other specifics.

We, Albanians have our own culture, history, language, ancient places dating BC (Scutarum, Lissus, Epidamnum, Antipathrea...) and we love them.

Let the history in the past, as it is a fragile issue in Balkan, and we share very different opinions due to lack of communication, sharing and discussing them scientifically.

These few truly Honest Albanians will lie to conceal it, and while I cannot agree with Lying, I do understand it, and would probably do the same if I was an Albanian.

All Albanians know that if they Confess to this in a Court of Law, then it would help Serbia receive Compensation from taking NATO to Court, or a 100 Billion Euros out of Court Settlement and if you divide that equally with all the People of the Former Yugoslavia, then would be thousands of Euros for every man, woman, and child in the former Yugoslavia, and Euros do not lose their value as easily as some other Currencies.

No one wants to burn anything sacred. However, you must realize the Serbs are relative newcomers to the Balkans just as the Turks were. You are and always were a minority in Kosova just as the Turks were. We all know what happened to the Turks. The original inhabitants, the Albanians, have every right to rule Kosova. Any illusion to the contrary will only lead to disappointment for the Serbs. Why set yourselves up for more humiliation.
(The Count of Kosova, 21 April 2012 18:57)

Alright, if thats the case then can you please explain the following:

1. If the Serbs were always a minority in Kosovo, then how come Turkish records indicate they made up 98% of the population in the 15th century, and 65% in the 19th century?

2. If all the churches, monuments and other sites were built by the minority Serbs, then why didnt the Albanians leave anything behind?

3. If the Albanians were the first inhabitants in the Balkans, then why are there no records of them being there until the 11th century?

4. If the Albanians were the Illyrians, then how come the last mention of the Illyrians came in the 3rd century, 700 years before any mention of Albanians?

5. Why are you embarrasing yourself?

Leo is right, not jus bcos hes albanian but bcus he speaks the truth
this is explained with genetics and biology that different ethnicities in the balkans in reality are much similar with each other than falsely boasted by the nationalistic few who fly their slogans high claiming to be "different" and "better" and "pure"... its all BS
Leave this hate behind, move on, learn to tolerate, learn to love, give the younger generations at least a chance, a glimpse of what peace might feel like because sooner or later, as much as we hate our neighbours, they are still our neighbours. And I have to say that Albanians are known for their hospitality and honesty (something the Serbs possess even at a greater and better degree… BUT their politicians, their churches and recently amended constitutions arrogantly denies such truths). Multi-ethnicity and tolerance do not stand a chance with Rankovic and Milosevic.. or maybe not even with Thaci.
We have to think differently to overcome this hurdle. Our yesterdays thinking is never going to solve problems and challenges faced today let alone tomorrow.
BUT I warn all of you that if we think of destroying one party at the reward of the other. In that scenario everyone will lose. Let’s learn from the past, not live in it.

But you can't say :The Albanians who left Albania to migrate to Kosovo have no real history. That's not true. Albanians are in their own country and they have their own history like you do. What does it mean "real history"? Such statements are very offending.
(leo, 21 April 2012 15:48)

Ok. They have a real history and it's wrong to deny a proper existence. I exaggerate because we Serbs have been slowly exterminated with no recourse. We were bombed without UN approval and a known terrorist organisation KLA were taken off the black list purely to fight against Serbs.

Since then hundreds of our monasteries have been burnt to the ground, grave sites desecrated and not a single ethnically motivated murder of Serbians have been solved by the "Kosovo Police".

It's pathetic that Albanians here try to broadcast that Serbians have more rights than any other minority in Europe. It is a mythical legend for Albanian consumption.

Albanians have even tried to rewrite the history books to be taught in Kosovo RE Ottoman Empire. Trying to teach the kids a 'revised' version of our history??

Serbs had been the majority populace since our first monastery was built & Bulgarians empire recognised this and thus integrated Kosovo into our kingdom. The Albanians had only settled in small clans around Kosovo and over time started to grow in population.

The Turks took Kosovo under their rule and because the ALbanians didn't like living under Serbian rule they eventually saw an opportunity to get what they want by siding with the Ottomans. We all know that Albanians in Kosovo changed their religion and their family names and knew this would help them gain status over the Serbs, whilst avoiding land tax for being muslims.

It's now a black hole and the herroin hub of Europe, black market ops and other organised mafia crime.

What we find offensive is that the Albanians in Pristina think they can rule the North and make outlandish statements about Kosovo's statehood and all borders are drawn and will not change again.

Albanians have no place in the North and no place to try and integrate the North into the state (that we do not recognise).

I would like to make peace but far fetched rhetoric from Pristina will be reason enough to never find this peace.

Just the fact there is a statue of Bill Clinton in Kosovo is enough of an insult to never respect anything that is in or comes from Pristina.

“KFOR's task is to maintain a secure environment for all people in Kosovo in an impartial way,” he stated, adding that it had done so for over 10 years and would continue in the same fashion."

I have seen last 10 years very differently somehow. More then 200 churches and monasteries burnt, virtually all nonalbanian population expelled, impunity for continuous attacks on Serbs...

And he is now telling us that they will continue in the same fashion.??!!!

(only me)

But some people think that it is impossible for Serbs and Albanians to leave this hate behind in Kosovo as a part of Serbia, but somehow it is possible in independent Kosovo. Where is the logic, I wonder?

And that was because he did not have a deed from the prior owners that showed that it was his property :)

The reinforcements are there to control the Albanians, nothing else.

That's basically the idea. They'll be north of the Ibar but their guns will be pointed southwards.

But when you live more than 5 (various in different countries) years with each-other, you own it together. It's the so called "community property". And the longer the marriage, the more likely a court is to view the husband and wife as equal partners.

Especially when the husband threatened his wife with death, and after brutal mistreatments he attempt to kill her.

You wrote "his property". So it means that Albanians own absolutely nothing in Kosovo, it's that right? Everything is yours? Not even the houses and the land...?
And witch is the solution according to you?

The German and Austrian Troops will not hinder Albania to invade and take Kosovo !.

And when the Balkan War starts again,
with Germany backing Austrian and Croatian invasion in Bosnia and Montenegro,
what will the German and Austrian Troops in Kosovo do ?.

Perhaps if France and Germany were given back to Celts, North America to the natives, Ionia to the Greeks your argument would hold water. The legal status of Kosovo is that of a province of Serbia in accordance with UNSC Resolution 1244. I'm assuming you also take the argument that Albanians were descendants of Illyrians, which is not conclusive whatsoever, but then you would have to lay claim to a vast swathe of territory, of which I'm sure your neighbours would not be too pleased with. Come back when you have an argument that is more consistent and less full of holes.

The wife's plan to steal common property was like that:
1) she hit her husband to provoce him
(aaayyy, 22 April 2012 13:38)

Exactly, and the husband was so stupid to be provoked and paid for the stupidity
----------

2) as she saw provocation worked as planned she started crying "Help me, help me!"
(aaayyy, 22 April 2012 13:38)

she was smart, not like the dumb husband
----------

3) then she said "if he mistreated me, I have all rights for our common property" and convinced the others to justify it.
(aaayyy, 22 April 2012 13:38)

Yep, you finally understood it… but the dumb husband fell for it
