"I will fart in your direction". Scheet is actually a Flemish word. Even though we have the Taal Unie (Dutch language union) the Dutch language varies quite a lot from country to country. It is similar to French in that respect.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
