It's totally unfair and undemocratic for some people to be able to print money and for the rest to not be able to. Gives the former huge advantage, and creates economic inequality.…

That's what I have been thinking how the system should be. Just print eg 3% more money each year. Give eg 30% of the new money to the state for its expenses, give the rest equally …

It may be just me, but I hate learning concepts from equations. IMO, no one ever woke up one day and said, let's have P, Q, Ω, and Φ. (Or whatever they are.) Most probably they sta…

Indeed. The site is amazing, and Kalid is to be praised to heavens and back. But a man is a man, and he can do so much. My main, very sad, take away from that site, was how ridicul…

Unfortunately, it's a lost cause arguing with the brain washed people like scrollaway. I recognize his mentality as well. It's the useful idiots, brain washed, living in a fantasy …

"You're there trying to imply that the paris attacks are a result of immigration (which they were not), as if you knew anything about my country. Exactly the same thing you do to m…

We don't know if all of them are victims of ISIS. We don't know if one in a thousand isn't ISIS, planning on attacking. ISIS actually has said they are doing that.

Indeed, but a) you need to have the seed of having an open mind, that can help you later on. If you learnt to have a closed mind, then it's a fortress new ideas can't come in. b) T…

We don't know who is coming. I don't want to learn in the Paris way. And I think the probability for that kind of events is scarily high. I didn't say they are "inherently evil". I…

Did you actually see the pics on the link? Do you think a person indoctrinated since birth to hating / wanting to kill the infidels, can be "fixed" 2 or 3 decades later? I think it…

"we're all just human beings" Do you think these kids will "integrate": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3362342/Babes-arms-I... ? ..Of course we are all humans, but that do…

"obnoxiously large clouds" Yes, I don't like winter either.

"In my experience, walking twenty paces behind a vaper vaping is even more unpleasant than walking four paces behind a cigarette smoker smoking." That's psychological issue of your…

How many cars were upwind of that poor doorman throughout the day? Did he survive?!

That's demonstrably not true. Experiments have been done on this with animals. There have also been experiments with filling a space with ecig vapor, and calculating how much nic w…

"If someone is driving a SUV down the sidewalk I would probably call the police" That's just obnoxious. "the default is not dump whatever you want into the air." Lol. Pass the news…

As you said, "what you signed up to do", and "you volunteered to lose sleep". And you do that, because evolutionarily, you kind of like your kids. Like a lot. But without kids, und…

I meant olives, with extra salt on top of them. Salt, to immediately kick you off, (with no real nutritious support), and olives, for their fat and iron, and nutrients to sustain a…

"So ultimately, we learned that you can go for 9 months without sleeping before you die" My "high score" is 3 days without sleeping. Think young, healthy, pretty physical, 1st year…

Anyone can argue anything. The actual q is, how isn't this torture? And the answer is, of course it is.

But when Merkel wins in 2013 with 41.5% with a voting age population turnout of 66%, with 1.5% invalid, it's ok, eh? http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/merkel-wins-thir...…

Well, not exactly. You get a better context if you say that the two countries have a sweet little history going back to byzantium, where turks invaded, greeks invaded, turks invade…

I'd define it as me paying 90% taxes last year, while my country is still getting worse.
