> Danes are far more interested in working for an employer than being one (on average). Danes like a large welfare state and we like comfort. I don't think you're necessarily right about that statement. Most people I know dream

If the alternative is a failed state, and breeding ground for terrorism, or anti-west propaganda, then sure. Assad would be the lesser of two evils from a certain point of view. If we could get a full-blown democracy, and freedom for the Sy

Try living near the Syrian DMZ for a while. It really doesn't get any more relevant than that.

Living in Europe and being engaged to an Israeli, I can definitely relate to that viewpoint.

It's not a cold war per default, when a country refuse to do what the US demands. This is just a conflict of interest. Syria is in Russia's backyard, so of course they'll have opposing viewpoints. Snowden and Wikileaks moved

It makes zero sense to pull this app just out of principle. Especially when it wouldn't matter to Apple anyway - It would only hurt Treehouse, and the investment they made. The kind of change you're looking for needs to come from

Well, porn is not banned here in Denmark. You can see a supposedly complete list here: http://www.teleindu.dk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Oversigt-o... [PDF, Danish]

There are bike paths everywhere here in Copenhagen, so they're quite safe. Plus they are fairly common, so most cars and fellow cyclists know what to expect. Quite handy when picking up the kids, fetching groceries or whatever.

There's a place for carousels in some user scenarios, but there's never a place for a poor implementation of one. ;)

In Denmark all education is free. All. You'll even receive a small check every month for your trouble. Admission is based solely on grades, not money. On of the few things we actually got right, imo.

+1, but.. I'm not oblivious to the intelligence services here in Europe, although their focus hasn't exactly been the US. I'm aware of the political shenanigans, and of course they're trying to exploit the situation to t

It would seem like EU dropping their planned trade agreement would be a much bigger blow. Not to mention the animosity it has created towards the US in general. European leaders are demanding answers, and the US is staying silent. It's

Assume away. But France is not Denmark and vice versa.

by kalms 13y ago
Citation? And no, France is not "EU".

EU doesn't spy on anyone - we have no central intelligence. So let's not assume anything.

You're linking to an article on corporate spying. We're discussing spying on government officials on, what I can only assume, is a lot more serious matters, i.e waging wars. This is a trust/image issue for the states, and it&

Should have been ousted just before Obama's rather tame speech in Berlin - That would have made his speech a bit more interesting.

It would be highly unfair if it got overlooked on those grounds.

I agree. It might seem like nitpicking, but it's a very different syntax.

Stop trying to twist my words. I'm not against science, medicine or improving the human condition. Please read my comments and try again.

Yes, you can imagine a different existence, but life is what it is. You might imagine a different existence, but that doesn't change the facts, or the hand we're dealt. I actually worry about abolishing death, because then what ar

For some it's not a horror. It's grief, and to me grief are welcome. It confirms and strengthen our feelings and emotional bonds. Without death there could be no life, and without grief there could be no love. You should stop beli

Wait, what? What did I just read? I think the conspiracy theories has started to run a little wild in here.

There's the signs of an early housing crisis (i.e lots of apartments being built, but nobody's buying). Entires cities stands empty, without occupation. That seems a bit like an economy that's heaving trouble maintaining itse

In the end, the publishers will go where the consumers are. And if we judge by the titles available on the PS4, I'd say that Sony has a pretty good hand right now.

Oh, I didn't mean to go all conspiracy theorist on you. The previous comment just sounded a lot like it. I think China will be okay, as long as their economy doesn't collapse under its own weight.

Sounds very Illuminati to me. (Oh yeah. I went there.) I don't think it's that easy, though. China seems, at least to me, as a very divided nation. They can't keep it up forever, I mean - something's gotta give at some p
