TL;DR: I read two points. One is contradicted by multiple sources at Wikipedia, the other argues that everything pipy dislikes from USA can be ignored. I quit the discussion in disgust over wasted time. :-( >>Yes, what I argue is that

(Karma 34 account.) I can only see that comment as this argument: You REALLY think that dead civilians are on the heads of those countries defending themselves from military takeovers by non-democratic juntas, like Putin's. Ah wait!

Thanks for a reasoned and informed opinion on this subject. How do you think about this: You should not help dictators based on natural resources economically. Countries built on industry will have to democratize when they reach a certain e

You are arguing -- hey all these cats are grey, so all are the same. All are grey, but there is a very large difference in how dark some are. Let me discuss your examples: Israel handled neutral in Europe?! With all due respect, you have

As I wrote on another comment of yours -- Russia and China pay people to write comments [astroturf/50 cent army]. It was obvious in Swedish. Edit: The astroturf was obvious in the Swedish language. Very shortly: People with very bad Sw

Note that the democratic world's media are very heterogeneous. It isn't often they agree on much (see the Viernam war, Israel, Iraq war, etc in European media). On this subject, most everyone do agree. Again note -- that is unusua

True -- when the subject is Russia today, there are lots of paid people too. (And if you think it is bad in English, be happy that you don't have to swim through the mangled comments in Swedish. But in the last 2-3 months they have got

So if a junta is brutal enough and keep the quality of the opposition down (Siberia, assassinations, etc) then you think it is wrong to try to overthrow the dictator?! From 1984 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stam

The really funny part is that they use the same type of argument in other languages in other part of the world. Not "Your country also did something almost similar in other circumstances". But "A third party did something a

I think 'bane' is perfectly aware of your point, that Perl 5/6 are very different languages and even Perl 5's incredibly backwards compatibility. Iirc, he has trolled in Perl discussions before.

I don't disagree. My point was, to take a simple example, at places like Booking.com [new] people will typically find out about the used CPAN Date classes from the code or their table neighbour. Not by rolling their own or crawling all

I don't really get what is different with Perl and the other scripting languages for types, but check Moose. E.g. http://search.cpan.org/~ether/Moose-2.1210/lib/Moose/Cookboo... Quite OK for one of

I can agree that the US health care systems seems to be uniquely f-cked up. (No other term seems possible to apply.) But centrally planned European health care systems are far from perfect. I am familiar with the Swedish system and it is un

I liked the Catalyst tutorials and general documentation. But Catalyst is not Dancer, which is like chewing air to learn. :-) When I read up a little on Mojolicious to have an opinion a couple of years ago, it seemed more complex than Cat

What collyw said. And most people prefer to use their own installation of Perl (see perlbrew) instead of the system Perl for development. The same seems to go for other scripting environments.

Even I can say you're totally wrong already in the first claims. Al Qaida has/had quite a bit of popular support in Saudi Arabia -- AND the explicit goal to overthrow the Saudi royal family. If you check history, that is what make
