I don't understand the problem with the word forcing here. If you take your kid's xbox to make them clean their room then yeah, you are forcing them to do it.
No you are not. They can decide to live without it.

Nobel Peace Prize, which is process controlled a private family, not by the Norwegian government. Not entirely true. First of all the Nobel Foundation is completely independent of the Nobel family and has been since the start. Secondly while the Committee that decides who gets the peace prize is technically independent of the Norwegian government, it is appointed by the Norwegian government and many of its members ha…
I thought that prize stopped mattering when Obama got it just because he was black?

In China, lot's of people who originally supported 刘晓波[0] shuts up after Obama's winning.

Norway at least have no current interest in EU membership. Support for EU membership has for a long time been so low (last year polls indicated 71% no, compared to an almost even result in the '94 referendum) that there's no prospect of another EU referendum anytime soon.
I agree with your comment, but given the tone / details of the questions you answer to I would like to add "... Compared to their current situation". Norway's low will to join the EU as full member is not because they don't like it or are moving away from it , but because they already have everything they want from it, and a few exceptions specifically "for them" in a custom made package they're fine paying the price…
These aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Public sentiment has historically leaned towards EU skepticism, something which hasn't been helped by witnessing the EU's broad managerial incompetence (and occasionally petty vindictiveness) on everything from Greece to Brexit.

#36I dont understand the word Forcing here. Norway had a choice to continue denying The one China policy. Putting pressure on Norway thru various means is not forcing. Forcing would be done via a military operation leaving little choice.
I mean, they'd still have the option of denying the one China and going to war, by your definition. Basically, the way you see it, nobody can force you to do anything, as you can always kill yourself.

#40Looks like a PHP/mySQL non-static site (I wonder if some popular blogging platform?) crumbling under the load. Luckily someone pressed the turbo charge button (x-turbo-charged-by: LiteSpeed <-- seriously?) on the cpanel box so it can now accommodate a page view a second!

WordPress can cache SQL queries with memcached, and can scale to tenthousands of accesses per second with that.
