A dishonest man who looked good and was able to say what people wanted to hear, promised a lot of promises that he did not keep, a war criminal with Nobel Peace Prize and sexy wife - that's how I will probably remember him.

I live in Eastern Europe too and I remember the times when the US was really perceived as "land of free" here. I believe that now we have way more freedom than the Americans. I personally feel uncomfortable enough to avoid travell

That might change... and not only for reasons related to privacy. I live in EU and I remember that about two or three years ago every geek's wet dream was to get to Silicon Valley and build a startup. But that seems to be changing. I d

I am not sure about this. For example Israel is probably in much bigger danger than the US and they certainly do some questionable things while trying to keep it safe. Yet it seems to me that they handle it way more reasonably. Maybe it&#x2

Actually, I was surprised that some movements decided to use that word to describe themselves. I believe that 'occupy' is very unfortunate word, especially in Europe. For example I live in a country that was occupied by the Nazis in 1939 an

OT: I remember being in the USA after those 9/11 terrorist attacks an they aired those "proud to be an American" commercials all the time... like they assume it's a good thing to be proud that you are a national of a certain nation. And may

I am not sure I fully understand what you mean but it seems to imply that US is an outlier in both 'good' and 'bad'. What seems to be problematic to me is that the bad ones seem to be on different abstraction level than the good ones. Other

1. According to that article, books, ability to write etc. would be out of the question. That's the part of the problem that we are discussing here - that the lack of stimuli (basically absolute boredom) can be torturous. Your argument seem

What prejudice are you talking about? Countries can be measured and compared through many different ways. One factor that can be measured is prison population rate. Compared to other countries Iran, China and South Africa are really bad at

Sounds like some kind of motivation/identity crisis or burnout syndrome. I have a proposal that might sound strange and maybe you cannot do it for family reasons or whatnot... but it worked wonders for me and I think it's worth sharing. Hav

I think you are completely missing the point. The favour does not necessarily need to be returned by the same people. It's about tolerance accepted as general social value. Lets say that tolerance is some kind of a deal with society - lets

It seems that many people are against AirBnB in their neighbourhood because they they don't like strangers there all the time, it's not pleasant, nothing happened yet but it might... stuff like that. I understand those concerns but I think

I think it's not like that at all. The bulk of population can rationalize (and kind of push out of sight) poor and homeless because most of the population are not poor and homeless... it's just 'them' and we don't care about them that much.

If I understand correctly, the determining factor is not the time spent on 'new' page but the number of upvotes. During less busy hours submissions spend more time on the 'new' page but are seen by less people per unit of time and therefore

Exactly. And I also try to avoid companies that settle. I totally understand why they do it but still... in my eyes it's like supporting terrorism. I feel it's wrong to give terrorists any money even when it's advantageous to your business

That article is interesting - it made me reconsider my opinion a bit. I certainly can be wrong about SKY team. I would have respect for them even if they were not clean because I have enough experience with cycling to be able to imagine how

Where did you get that 6% and was that reliable source? And even if that number is somehow "correct" (each Tour is different and it is not possible to just numerically compare them) it does not mean the cycling is now clean, it does not eve
