   By the way Ginkgo biloba is an interesting planto - a living fossil (270*10^6 years old specie). Worth looking in wikipedia.

   Agree totally. Piracetam worked, but made my restless. Gingko - did not make change. The most important for me is decent sleep = 7+-1 hours; wake up at 8, no later.

   I advised to abandon PPP not because that I think that is a bad meausure, but just to show that Europeans are _not_ making less money. And the reason for higher prices for stuff patially that are paid better salaries., so to produce things

   This guy is delusional. Big time. First of all - what that means?: [level of living standards in United States is still a lot higher.] I never heard about this expression - "level of living standards".Where it is derived from? Now if we aba

    Not sure about language, but one thing is true - the way you pronounce words of your own language is a good reflection of your education, status, origin, and who you are.

    It is a good reason to stop deindustrialization of USA and Canada. Europe as far as I know produce a lot of toys themselves. At least I saw a toy truck made in Sweden. Guess what was the truck's model ;)?

    What kind of numbers you want? GINI (inequality index)?: ok http://mapscroll.blogspot.com/2009/04/is-us-becoming-third-w... That the poors are doing here worse than anywhere else in developed world: obvious from the GINI. How do I account

    Looks like Germans are sensitive to privacy (for historical reasons perhaps). USA culturally less sensitive, so I think we may expect more Konzerns about privacy and aggregation of data about German citizens in American online companies.

    Difficult but not impossible. Amazingly enough, not everything affordable made in misery. LEGO kits for example are mostly made in Europe. Every once in a while you can see inexpensive toys made in Sweden, shirts made in Egypt, platic cont

    I am not talking about their intentions - that is not a domain of "simple logic" anyway. What I am saying is factual statement: the set [made cheaply] is a subset of [made in misery]. So you cannot escape purchasing stuff [made in misery]

    You know what, as I mentioned in other posts - inequality in USA is already as bad as in Africa and is rapidly approaching South American's numbers. Of course bottom line is not as bad as in Africa, but quality of life for poors is already

    Do not like it - do not buy, goddamnit. If you think that people who buy Fair Trade are stupid - no we are not, and we are doing for a reason - we do not feel good when consume something made by slaves. You can still shop for "free trade"

    > Yeah, I tried to get a bunch of 16 year old Americans to make a bunch of shoes. Apparently they were not interested :( Probably you tried to pay 7.25$, per hour did not you? If you'll pay me 25 dollars per hour for making shoes - you
