Taxpayers give too. They just don't get much/any credit for it. When the government's taking over 50c of every euro you earn, you are giving plenty.

Nobody remembers urls any more (if they ever did). If I type the word nissan into the address bar on IE, firefox, chrome or opera I get a page full of links to the motor company.

Really? You think they know what happened in the Americas post 1492? And suppose that the people of that island began showing signs that they wished to make contact. What then?

<<These people had a lot of contact with the outside world and still want to be left alone>> I'd argue that their attitude to the outside world can only be based on very little information most of which is probably no longe

But what if they have a brutal dictator there? Or slavery? Or sexual abuse (like on pitcairn island)? On balance though, I think all countries should leave one another alone. Foreign intervention frequently seems to do more harm than good.

In my country hardly anyone has a gun but you can gamble all you want, no one gives a shit about that.

Well done with the repair. When our then 10ish yr old washing machine broke, the repairman charged about 40 to 50% of the cost of a new one, which in fairness wasn't exorbitant taking his time and overheads into account. But it was cle

It's a consequence of, first, having assembly lines and later assembly lines 'staffed' by robots. Once upon a time manufactured goods were expensive and labour was cheap. Now it's the other way around. So it's cheap

I use btguard because they also claim not to keep logs and a lot of people seem to believe them. But for all I know they could be a front for the FBI. And that's not the worst case scenario.

I swear too much, it's something I'm not proud of. Not least for the example I've set. I really admire people who can respond to difficult situations in a dignified manner. I never heard my mother curse and now I wince every time my childre

There's a perception amongst the 'ordinary' people that those at the top scratch one anothers backs. The government spin is that we're all in this together but the reality seems to be different. It's not surprising when you see how politici

This week the Irish government who now unwillingly own a huge chunk of bank of Ireland said it could do nothing about the chief executive's generous salary. This despite further losses at the bank. Meanwhile further cuts in the rest of the

I fail to see how my post was revisionistic. Your own statistics suggest that there was about 1 fatality for every 4 attacks. And that was over a 20 year period. That was the only point I was making and it was in response to another poster'

IIRC they put a 'ring of steel' around the financial distict of London ('the city') in the early 90s as a way of protecting it from IRA attacks. Also the IRA gave warnings so that despite truck size bombs the loss of life was relatively sma

If this is all handled positively it could be a win win. Having Disney license your artwork is something most designers would be glad of reputation wise. I think she needs to lose the angry tone pronto and at least 'appear' more phlegmatic

Growing up doesn't usually involve reducing a person's responsibilities. With the advent of the ECB that's what's happened. Now every little eurozone country has to get used to working with interest rates that are effectively set to suit Ge

It's worth noting that there is no relationship between a U.S. hospital bill and the actual cost of the service If this is true (and I don't know that it is) then it sounds to me that the free market is not working in this area in the USA

Being depressed by this is a bit like being depressed by pop because you think only classical music is music. He's not stopping anyone from doing better art. I wouldn't be into his art particularly but neither am I into the sort of painting
