Yes the American system is based on the admirable but false idea of the intelligent citizen. It probably worked a lot better when all the voters were wealthy land owners.

So make everyone a nuclear power? (Considering what's been happening in Ukraine and Palestine I would like for the Netherlands to obtain nukes. If we ever get invaded we can at least take out 50 million of the enemy with us to hell).

These shoes are developed by the Nike's of the world who give them away to African athletes for marketing campaigns. Most doping is developed by countries to get medals at the Olympics.

Somewhere in the 16th and 17th century economic power shifted from the South to the North. Venice became Amsterdam. Singapore has it's location- a politically stable enclave in South East Asia. Portugal is competing with the likes of D

Germany is reintroducing border controls to stop immigration from OUTSIDE Europe. They aren't doing it to keep out the Dutch or Austrians. Nobody is against freedom of movement of EU citizens.

This is already happening in the Netherlands. Used to be that every book and newspaper was stored as a hard copy now they scan it. I think people underestimate just how much it takes to archive everything that is released in the information

No it's probably much simpler. Humans love to shit on anyone who doesn't follow the tribe program.

Unlike say a Rolex it's easier to jack a phone. Edit and yeah everything is on my phone I'm not even carrying a wallet so I'd be fucked.

I wonder if lack of competition is to blame for that. When you look at Europe each sea faring nation has at least one modern port that can facilitate the largest container ships. And Unions generally don't operate across borders so a s

Actually an improvement. Nowadays each truck goes through a scanner before leaving the terminal. So they have to get to the drugs when it's still waiting for transport.

If memory serves the entire West German intelligence apparatus was run by ex Nazis. The BRD was like that famous Fawlty Towers sketch. "Don't mention the war!".

The Netherlands is often called "Holland" which technically doesn't even exist anymore. But of course Dutch people don't really care what foreigners call the country, they can use whatever name they come up with it doesn

The EU didn't come to that conclusion they're gunning for everyone.

Art is rarely made by nice people. You need to have a certain level of ego and narcissism. Many of Hollywood's great directors had their own personal demons.

I find this interesting because in my opinion once you study history, sociology and psychiatry everything about the Bible can be explained as man made.

I have my PC set to UK English. But realistically in my day to day life I speak English with people who are not from any historically English speaking territory. It's not owned by anyone.

It's actually amazing how even as early as the 16th century Europeans had the superior naval power. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. It wasn't until the battle of Tsushima that the tide shifted.

The Chinese negotiators for Kowloon deliberately settled on 99 years. Probably because they knew they'd be lynched by the Chinese public otherwise. It was not a mistake made by the British they just couldn't get a better deal.

The UK was shaking down the US for this military base. The whole thing stands as a monument to the decline of the British Empire.

The problem with the arts is that nobody really gives a shit. The vast majority of the population doesn't visit the opera or is interested in modern art. Despite a century of government funding the needle hasn't shifted. The first

An analyst on the radio talked about Saudi Arabia. Apparently their sheikh is tightening the budget and Arabs always were the biggest fool. It's having a huge impact on grifters world wide.

I totally understand if it isn't your hobby supporting Firefox doesn't make sense.

Yeah but despite how much HN hates Google everyone here will do whatever it takes to get on their app store. Google has the power to make the entire industry their bitch. Mozilla not so much.

Looking at demographics we were beginning to approach a point were affirmative action would have helped out white communities. The decline and fall of white power America. If only MLK had lived to see it.

It will just be like meth and painkillers: everyone pretends there isn't a problem for years until it gets so bad that the government has to step in.

Ah but that's because Rotterdam competes with Antwerp and Hamburg for example. How many terminals are there on the West coast of the US that can handle the biggest vessels?

Interesting the number of strikes in my euro socialist country can be counted on one hand every year. You'd have to go back a very long time indeed for a harbour strike.

Culture war. The left is against nuclear so the right wants it. Of course it never actually goes anywhere because money has no ideology only reality. Just years of studies and bureaucracy.
