I would say naive folk fucked by the system. In Europe it is kind of similar, but not as bad. My relative has non-lethal cancer. It was diagnosed by private doctor and waiting list for operation is a few months. So he called ambulance and w

Did not Cameron just apologize for several deaths? I have no issue with NHS on its own. It is pretty much average European health care system. But I hate smuginess surrounding it and connection to fascist state.

I refused to join, I was on temp contract so no value for me. This was semi private scientific institution. Money were usually used to send HR/union people to bullshit trainings on nice location. BTW there were 2 managers for every sci

What is extremely false? This was said at British parliament. To quote Cameron: "people had to dring from flower vase, not to die of thirst". There are thousands of deaths because of basic neglect. As for my personal experience. I

Shipping has simple workaround. Just use different string ("stephan" versus "stefan"). Or in non-english country use local version of name.

My government allows me to have multiple passports, because of various problems with visa. I think I should also ask for multiple identities because of all this spying and anti-terrorists. BTW it costs a few hundred bugs to change name

You could also say that new commercial applications are cheap knockoffs of older versions. Win8 is joke compared to Win7, Office 2003 is better than 20something. New Photoshop brings zero improvement except some crazy DRM. Open-source progr

So what? Asians and whites are discriminated by government agencies, universities and large corporations. Last time HR manager screamed at me because I insisted my race is 'slavic' not 'white'.

I think root problem is that shuttle was starting and landing with people. They should use it just for cargo, second rocket with Apollo should have transport people from/to orbit.

> While whites and Asians are making more money, blacks and Latinos are falling further behind. In London it is kind of oposite. You can only live in central london if you are filthy rich, or non-white and get social housing.
