They were talking about raising the retirement age in the US during the election debates also. Whenever I hear this I think "fine, I like working, but it's hard enough getting hired after 50 never mind 60". What are they expe

You still can't admit to atheism in many (most?) areas of the country without pretty severe social penalty. Hopefully this is changing, but I think it's less that is atheism growing and more that people are becoming comfortable ad

I agree the on back button. To me this is a page. When I push back I expect to return to the previous page not a different view of the same page. That being said, this is really awesome work and will certainly come in handy! Nice job.

You could be right, but it's a familial monarchy in ownership of a country. One that behaves pretty badly as well. So if it is a screwing, it seems the very very least that they deserve.

Not with the degree of murderous violence? You are aware of what the Aztecs (for instance) did with enslaved tribes?

Tribes wiped each other out from time to time. Native tribes did at as well as pale tribes coming over in boats. It's awful. I don't think people should do it anymore. But "native inhabitants" isn't a uniform group

It's not my responsibility to "fix" things that can't be fixed like greed and hate and violence from centuries ago. I don't believe there is a governmental social program that can fix it either. The only thing I can

I doubt it. Seriously... this whole "you are a white man so you share blame for anything a white man ever did" is absolutely stupid.

I live in the US but I'm not taking credit for the smallpox thing. That was the doing of a few people at most, and I'm not one of them. I don't think it was even official policy, so my great grandfathers vote can't be im

It's not worth paying for and the "real" service rendered for payment is suspect.

Well Eastern Wyoming is certainly part of the Great Plains. But agreed, the line across Wyoming is too far to the west and includes a significant chunk of Mountain regions in the Plains area. Maybe the author doesn't care about Wyoming

"Pork is roughly twice as efficient as beef to produce" Citation needed. Beef can live on range-lands that aren't good for much else and requires very low inputs. If we didn't have a taste for grain fed finished animals

Agreed. Vim is one of the best investments in learning I've made to date.

College is a huge waste of time. But then again so are a lot of jobs. If you don't care about college because of all the bullshit and dumb people, just wait until you enter the workforce! Probably best to go ahead and go for most ambit

I think it's a great idea. Not just for homes but other sites as well.

The site (databaseanswers) is neat and I've gotten some good ideas from it in the past, but most of the models (that I've looked at anyway) are pretty simple and you almost really wouldn't need to look at a diagram drawn by s

That should have absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing. The only thing that should matter is ability to the job. Anything else is wrong and in most cases (rightfully so) illegal.

Ya well, that's 10K development, 30K profit and 290K meeting time and paying people to fill out forms. Sounds about right.

Sure I can. Feudalism. Oh, you meant a higher standard of living for everyone? Well then, are you sure market economies are really the end all solution for that? Listen, you seem to think I'm arguing against market economies or trying

There have been successful (meaning what exactly?) societies that were not market economy based. People tend to think communism vs capitalism but for most of human history it's been something else. Like hunter/gather or some form
