Normally, I don't use maps to compare the size of continents. That's what tables and lists are for. I use them to see where geographical areas are relative to one another. Others have other needs, depending on what they do with th

Eh, that comment suggested to _sterilize_ Saudis - where has reasonability gone?

I think there is no problem with this being accepted. Firstly, the question posed is quite unlikely to be meant literally (many women do not want to live a monogamous life). Secondly, if they are trying to fight "biology", may the

Didn't this turn out a bit of a straw man? As far as I understand, she advocates an understanding of the concepts complemented by some appropriate type of repetition. There is also a third concept: That of imagining. She speaks specifi

I think you misunderstand how much time and focus is spent on trivial problems. Somebody already replied to this, but I will add more on the same note. 1 If some scientist finds a way to save a minute per instance of brushing your teeth, an

Ireland does have the authority, but: 1. They have applied their own laws in a way that amounts to subsidies, and 2. The corporate structure turned out to be fictional, and allocations of profits were therefore also fictional. ("Arm&#x

In their ruling, the commision implies that other countries may seek to judge this independently based on their findings. This can still turn into a much larger tax bill than the nominal value in the commission's findings. :)

Here's how to fix this: 1. Foreign deductions are taxed based on the difference between the locale where the earnings are made and the locale the service/product is provided from. Where the sales division is located has no relevan

Knowledge is key to this, but it's not enough. Some people will try to fool you, and then knowledge will help you decide whether that is the case. It may be a cultural thing you haven't picked up on. If I came across a case of tah

That if the employer creates a situation where you can't play an hour of guitar at home and put it on youtube without firing you, then it's worthwhile for no valid reason.

Not as a goal in itself, no. In the case of real priorities, yes. In the case of apparent priorities, no. Nevertheless, how numerous are CEOs compared to other employees?

The CPS should have a focus on parents that are unreasonable in their protection. Unfortunately, they have to be policy based. One child out of 500,000 that is snatched when alone creates much more attention than 50,000 children (out of 500

Both are real risks. The aftermath of a stranger kidnapping the child is usually much worse. The likelihood of each is quite low, though - at least in western societies.

by johnnyhillbilly 10y ago
First of all, you are mixing dimensions. If I perceive a kidnapping as an actual occurrence, I will call the police and/or intervene. The situation may be real, or it could e.g. be a stag party. Risk is different - it's about what

How currency comes into existence is a different topic. I agree wholeheartedly that bartering is the logical continuation of the drug economy in a cash free world. Maybe some pseudo currencies would also arise, creating black market banks.

Cash is public, banks are private. Half of the problem with cash could be solved by ending the war on drugs. The war on drugs has created a class of people whose main economic function is to transfer wealth from the public to the worst peop

Having had several visits to Italy recently, I value their sense of what is beautiful. Firstly, it feels great to be there. Secondly, the lot of them look really cool no matter what they do. My take on this is that these McMansions are an i

With the information given, I can't see how you reach that conclusion? Being invited for rice and beans is quite common in some cultures, just as being invited for coffee and cake is in others. It is obviously an example the judge thou
