Sounds like textbook regulatory capture?

Frankly, I trust the US government more than my local ones, to have this information. What I don't trust is the neutrality regarding company sensitive information and competitors. …

There are lots of English speaking jobs with computers in most countries, including Finland. (I worked there a few years, loved the place but the allergy information was horrible).…

I saw Pan's Labyrinth with a Finn. There was a civil war about a century ago in Finland. Her reaction was -- "Totally unrealistic -- a side in a civil war that doesn't do revenge a…

Hezbollah and Iran have a history of targeting Jewish civilians, not only in Israel. Which I do think you know.

OK, after thinking about this. I have problems with non serious debaters that argue dishonestly. This is a subject where people write dishonest propaganda and where I have read a b…

OK, thanks. I understand that I over reacted. I have found that I am easily trolled when I have the beginning of allergy troubles. It is better to not comment than to find out the …

I'll add a comment here so DanBC sees it. You have a point, I am easily trolled when people lack arguments and start discussing person. Regarding earlier comments... I got mainly u…

So, you agree that only a pathetic loser without cohones would downvote both old and new comments a bunch of times, when losing an argument...? :-) (And if you wan't to argue that …

Since you lack serious arguments -- the closest are that I had a ":-)" three comments ago and personal attacks -- we can close this. (And of course it is just a coincidence that I …

A comment from an hours old account... :-) I was answering a claim "it was just a matter of degree". I pointed out that claim was highly doubtful, but didn't get a serious answer. …

That was just answering a common bad argument in advance. I wrote it INSIDE "()", AS AN EDIT . since that was the only thing you could comment on, sad... EDIT: I used a ":-)" three…

"just a matter of degree"? OK, let's look at it then: Side A is officially antisemitic in their founding document (Hamas) and TV programs (even for children!); they literally took …

Exactly, reality is boring -- my favorite shooter always was Unreal Tournament. :-) These days I play an undead thief in Dark Souls 3. (But maybe it is realistic, I have no idea ho…

Richard Falk worked for UNHRC -- infamous for being shanghaied by dictators that don't criticize each others, but instead complain about democracies. Israel has been literally crit…

So, on one side you have the Nakba in a burning civil war when populations were thrown out (both Jews and Palestinians). Civil wars are horrible. The other side is when the Jews we…

You are not contradicting my point. He is still going to jail. The sympathy for due process of terrorists will wear thin in most democracies. Afaik, most countries with continuous …

So the basic problem is that the Jews and/or the democratic country are evil? Sigh... :-( Arafat got at least two offers for a Palestinian state (at Camp David and once later), wit…

What I've read, is that the border to Gaza was open enough for commuting and shopping trips -- until the systematic attacks on civilians. You had no problem with that description i…

You don't contradict that you were aware of my points..? If e.g. Finland or Estonia started to shoot rocket artilleri towards St Petersburg, the reaction would certainly be much wo…

As far as I know, the walls came up as security measures because of the second Intifada. Before that, people lived in Gaza and worked in Israel and people travelled between for sho…

You can't get 99% of a population to leave their homes where they grew up without hard push factors. Especially since their assets were confiscated...

Regarding the killed children -- wasn't the people doing a revenge murder of a Palestinian teenager sentenced to long jail sentences when they got caught? The Palestinian terrorist…

dragonwriter know that Serbia wasn't a stable democracy at the time. He just refuses to discuss it because he is trolling. Also, Croatia/Bosnia/Serbia were civil wars. Anyway, how …

To start with, 30% of the 2015 asylum seekers in Sweden were from Syria -- so that is not really the reason for the flood wave. The politicians opened the gates, it was possible to…
