This is about a leak from a dating app for Muslims. So it doesn't make sense for me to write about the risks that someone in Hawaii or Germany might face after a similar leak. And sorry, but there are many types of sexual acts that are

And it exists in Saudi Arabia, Iran to name a few of the larger Muslim countries. And how about people that are homosexual. Right, death penalty in 11 Muslim countries. It's entirely possible that also homosexual people would have used

Sorry, but where exactly did I blame the victim? And where did I weight the guilt of the hacker vs the guilt of these societies that engage in such horrific acts? Is there even a point in doing this? I despise both and that's what I sa

This is clearly a criminal and very evil act that will likely harm many people, not just emotionally but also physically. I wonder how anyone could be so deranged to do something like this. But it is also a cultural problem of these Muslim

I just don't get what point you are trying to make here. Statistics and Polls consistently show again and again that Switzerland is one of the safest, richest, most democratic and yes - even happy countries in the world. And maybe you

Yes they could, but Switzerland isn't one of the many democracies that ignores the voice of its population. So something like this isn't going to happen there.

Well of course the cost of living will be higher when the incomes are double or in most cases even triple the incomes of other EU member states. How does that invalidate what I wrote? Are you proposing that the Swiss would be better off wit

Please take a look at how the Swiss are doing outside the EU. They have no oil, just their financial industry. Actually that's quite similar to the UK, just that the UK is much stronger in many other areas too. I suspect that the UK wi

So are the Swiss. Turns out that they are so successful outside the EU that even Swiss garbage men earn more than most citizens of EU member states could ever dream of.

Why can't these people just accept a democratic decision without painting those who voted in an undesired way as retards? Every major voting decision in the last 10 years was painted (in basically all media) as the smart and educated o

Of course the EU will continue to threaten the UK to "reconsider" its decision. But the fact remains that countries like Switzerland and Norway are much better off in economic terms by not having joined the EU in the first place.

Great, so there are some concession being made by Germany/France. But how is it relevant if they still are the only ones that can ignore laws and treaties while other smaller countries can't? Seems to me it doesn't even matte

Why even have any treaties then when negative aspects never apply to the larger countries? Don't you see how this is inherently undemocratic if only the weak have to follow laws? That's just as if you decided to implement a new la
