   I lived and worked in France for two years in my early twenties and really made an effort to make good friendships with local French and try to adapt to and understand the culture. Once in awhile people would hear me speak to people back ho

   People can change their tune, but that's not what is happening in today's political climate. It's been less than ten years since the last financial crisis, and no one has forgotten that it was loose regulations that caused it

   You'd be surprised. The problem with regulations is that they have done their job so well that a subset of people now believe they are not necessary and that the market will "take care of itself". See also: vaccines.

   I agree. Curtis gets the facts right for the most part, and the movie is very interesting for historical learning, but the connections he draws and the cause-and-effect relationships he posits are very tenuous. It's one of those "

   I think we make the mistake of underestimating Trump because we are accustomed to rating intelligence on a linear scale. We look at only one dimension of it. Could Trump learn calculus and do well on a math test? I highly doubt it. I doubt

   The way he lied about it raining during his speech to the CIA seemed almost like a way of sending a message - "See how well I lie? I can get away with anything."

    Trump did this before Bannon ever came on.

    I agree completely. I think people are panicking and being pushed one way or the other. We need to remember our kindness and empathy now more than ever.

    I'm consistently amazed at the number of Trump supporters on this site.

    I think it's fair to argue that a result can also be a cause for further decline. Chicken and the egg.

    I thought he looked amazing when still and I didn't realize right away what was going on. It was when he started moving his face and walking that it became obvious. There's still a long way to go in making human motion appear more

    I'm a little shocked at how many Trump supporters are in this thread. Is Trump popular in the startup scene?

    I'm yet to see any evidence that this "silent majority" actually comprises a majority.

    I live in Edmonton, which is the closest big city to Fort McMurray, about a 5 hour drive south. While it's true that the devastation has been extensive and that this is the most expensive disaster in Alberta's history, the extent
