Buy bids on the market are not included in bureaucracy. It is a common tactic to store cash on the market that way in case you need to save up money for a war. Do mind that with withdrawal costs you won't make any profit until it has been on the market aprox 24h.

Where is your hair WiLd X(
The dictionary is obviously contradicting itself by saying that fishing and bowling are athletic activities. How can we trust his opinion from now on ![]()
And yea! I don't think those are sports at all.
Under that definition competitive dancing or shopping would also be a sport. Considering that "mockery; ridicule; derision:" is also a correct answer in the dictionary it is obvious the word is used for more things.
So different answers are correct for different contexts. So I stand by my earlier post. In this context I would say that the only correct related definition is: "1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc."
Where darts is just a non athletic activity requiring skill. Just a game.
So what is your point with this post Wendy ![]()
In the context of our discussion only the following use of the word sports is fitting:
"1. In athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc."
Beyond that definition of sports, I would say that a true sport also has an direct active competitive element. Such as football, tennis, etc. Where 1 or more are actually competing with 1 or more others. Unlike things such as weight lifting.
Who says committees such as the Olympic committee is the one who ultimately defines what is a sport or not. Also in their case it's called Olympic Games and not Olympic Sports.
As humi stated; Games and sports are closely related. But it is the athletic component that differentiates those two. If you look it up in a dictionary or on wikipedia as Poley did, it is not a coincidence that the athletics component is always mentioned.
Sports is not sports without the athletic component.
Amsterdam is just more to do and you can easily avoid the pushers and or local whores if you don't want that element. There are obviously other smaller cities that more or less offer the same, but I don't know them well enough to guarantee they have what you are looking for.
I'd say look some stuff up on google. I bet there are plenty of websites that give nice summaries as to what you can do where in the Netherlands.
I am not American and the joke was pretty clear ![]()
I would say that only games with a competitive and real physical element are sports. Championships and commercials are totally irrelevant. Otherwise we would have to allow professional gaming as a sport too! It's competitive, you have have championships and there is even a physical element like in darts where you move your arm around. A lot.
To be clear, that's not a real physical element. So I say neigh! No sport.
They must have a nose for tourists then =p
I find it highly unlikely that any dutchy will try to get you high while you are in Amsterdam. Unless if you are actually inside of a coffee shop where you can buy them. At which point you can just ask yourself whether it was him or you who wanted to get you high.
I am biased because I live in Amsterdam, but I agree with Primo! It is the most complete city if you want to visit something. ![]()
He always does only half of what he is supposed to do ![]()
