No, I didn't care back then because I'm a citizen of an EU country. But over the years PC censorship and self-censorship pushed by the left has become so intolerable in the west that I can't ignore it anymore. It's btw f

No, this happened too many times and it is also known that Silicon Valley leaders from Google/Apple/Facebook and others met to discuss how to stop Trump. I've also seen that a week ago the Google image search for one of Trump

No one said that, but these people need to either work on improving themselves (which most people definitely can) or they have to deal with the fact that a vast majority of women will never be interested in them. There is no IT solution tha

It is for people that aren't socially adept (which one can learn btw) and this is of course also one important criteria for sexual selection. My view is that it is not in the interest of women (who mostly do the selecting while men do

I heavily dislike such absolute statements, especially if they are unfounded. It is merely your opinion that he wouldn't keep going with chronic pain, he has a different opinion. There's no way for us to verify yours or his claim.

I'm curious why Eastern European countries make up a majority of this top 10 list both for men and women. Is there something uniquely different about their diets?

Sorry I don't understand, I don't even know David Rubin. I'm living in the EU which is run by liberals/lefts and I can clearly see that they are pushing hard against the peoples will to allow millions of Muslims to reset

I don't buy it that Google is biased against black people, it's just that Google has more jobs that require a higher education in STEM fields whereas Apple has many people employed in stores and factories. I believe that there are

Xenophobia is an _irrational_ fear. It is obviously not irrational to fear this uncontrolled immigration as there are enough fanatics among them that go on a killing spree. Two years ago stuff like this happened rarely, now it is happening

I wonder how anyone could believe that. In the Middle East they experienced terrorism for decades and it gets only worse.

The Turkish government has already called for reporting to the police (with screenshot) all anti-government statements on Twitter and Facebook by Turks. So yes, I expect that many dissenting civilians will get into trouble.

The problem for him is that Turkish nationalism is a good tool for internal control, but it doesn't help at all if the goal is to gain influence in the Middle East. Turks are not Arabs after all. Islam on the other hand is quite influe

It is clear to me that the West wanted Erdogan gone (for good reasons) although I'm not insinuating that the US had any part in the failed coup. But after these extensive purges it will be basically impossible to remove the elite that

This is not a matter of what you feel or believe, it isn't rent-seeking by definition, period. Rent-seeking is everything where you extract value by not being productive in the sense of creating new wealth. Building a house is damn exp

This would be the case only if the piece of property was always there and no one had to build and maintain it. For houses this is not the case. You actually have to produce houses and you have to constantly work on them so they don't c

Don't get me wrong, I oppose the kind of government that the Iranians have right now, but the chemical weapons supplied by the West were mainly used against the Iranians. And with a terrible outcome for the Iranians.
