You don't need a US business and bank account to accept credit cards. That would be a major hassle for all the businesses outside the US. There are credit card gateways in other countries.

Why exactly do you want public transportation? I left Denmark and I definitely don't miss the public transportation or the high prices on taxis and cars. In Denmark people in general prefer cars even though they are taxed very aggressively.

In general I don't like public transit. But in many places you can get around without neither public transport nor your own car. Walking, bicycles, taxis, planes.

Cool. It's not that far from there: Montevideo. The rambla is pretty much the only place I bicycle in Montevideo.

I don't think helmets are important enough for me to wear one. Luckily I don't live in the "land of the free" (lol) so I can ride a bicycle without a helmet without the police punishing me for it. Why is it anyones business if you wear a he

Eliminating hunger is a noble goal. Equal prices is a terrible goal and not a way to eliminate hunger. You can't have equal prices everywhere. If you want to try to force prices to be equal, you would ruin the price system. Without a worki

At the CPH airport they shoot more than a thousand birds a year. If there was a hawk, could you be sure that it would stay out of the way of the aircraft? The hawk itself would be a risk of bird strike.

Techcrunch got the facts wrong (again). It's 10 million Danish kroner (DKK), not krona, which is equivalent to 1.76 million USD at the current exchange rate. He promised he would give 10 million to the former CEO and the former chairman of

Somalia is not an anarcho-capitalist society. In Denmark there is less violation of property rights, so you could say Denmark is more libertarian than Somalia. The Seasteading project might result in some anarcho-capitalist societies: http

That it doesn't handle as awful like an pickup truck doesn't say much. There is just no getting around mass. If the car weighs more and has the weight higher up, that is bad for handling. A Subaru Impreza WRX STi is faster than a Porsche Ca

If you are worried about getting in to car accidents, don't get a heavy truck or car with a high point of gravity. If you drive somewhere where there's snow or ice, proper winter tires will give you more safety than all wheel drive. Electro

Move from where? Consider getting income from "the first world" (US, Europe etc.). Income levels are not the same in Argentina. But many things are cheaper, such as food. The beef is great :P Computers or other things imported from "the fir

Here's another version of the analogy: you say that eating Big Macs will cause other people to die and cities to sink into the ocean, and that I should limit my intake of Big Macs because of this. It's OK if I continue to eat some Big Macs,

If Al Gore thinks it is so dangerous to live the way he does, why does he continue to do so? Why does he not himself do, what he wants to coerce everyone else to do? For crying out loud. It screams hypocrisy!
