Seems to be a lot of patriotism in these comments. Today I've learnt that Americans are genetically superior to Europeans because they have genes that make them more likely to take a chance and Americans have "vision" where a

Why bother if someone else who knows more than you has tried? Clearly climate change scientists will have tried to convince them and if they can't what hope does the Apple CEO have?

He got called out for making a dodgy call; it was by a lot of people, which can't have been nice but does is this not part of the job? I honestly don't know, I've never been in that position. I get the feeling (and please tel

You are right about the pscychology. I thought we did a bloody good job of hosting the Olympics. Leading up to it I thought it was going to be a bit rubbish but when they actually started there was a sense of national pride. The problem is
