The number of "Obese People" far outweighs the number of chronic alcoholics... we are talking about almost 1/3rd of the population being obese (i.e. not just a bit fat, or chubby, just straight out obese).

Nice analysis. The point that many people make: "* Upto 50% of pollution a car will cause is done during production of the car ie before even a kilometre has been driven. Replacing lots of good working cars from the street is not envi

I am still scratching my head why the 'some' keyword is needed/required for opaque types. Eg. SquareButton and RoundButton are implementations of the Button (protocol). You want to create a function that returns the button,

I am going out of a limb and say that there is a chance that immigration is a factor as well. Pre 1990, the immigration in Europe was very limited, and after the fall of Communism there have been large immigration movements within Europe, a

I disagree with you. Having some really close friends (either first gen, or second/gen, born here), i'd say their values are pretty western overall, with a dose of 'immigrant mentality', which honestly is not much diff

Lots of modern examples. Most faroe islands come from Viking males, raiding England or Ireland, killing and pillaging the local population, and kidnaping the women off to their island. "The Faroese are of mixed Norse and Gaelic origin

Read my comment. I specifically mentioned Britannia. The Franks (i.e. Merovingian), had less than 20% of the former Roman Empire in control. About 18%. The rest of Europe was extremely fragmented, and territories changing hands often

Not correct. They were much worse indeed. Remember, Romans had a fairly advanced society, and buildings, architecture, and infrastructure. Roads crossing whole regions, (the highways of the time), aqua-ducts, ways to dispose sewage, etc.
