Absurdly more of a threat than the US military is its economic means, backed of course by the said army. Also the underground capabilities. You don't get to anger someone who has all sorts of ways to cripple you, personally or at a nat

By what metric has the solution worked? The number of kids produced? What your logic straight dictates is that the solution to our freedom and dignity being stolen is to not have freedom and dignity in the first place. You speak of mental t

The media is as diverse as the set of their independent owners. And what you get from any news channel is the view its owners want to show you. Thinking otherwise is plain naive as I see it.

You can't teach someone how NOT to write a program, speaking on the technical side. The more you know the more capable your programs can be. It's about one's morals after that.

Marriage has nothing to do with it. It's just legal binding to unite the possessions and caretaking of the children. Abuse still happens, more often than not, in marriages, including rape. Unless you comment was sarcastic, your point i

That's what baffles me. If no one today is responsible, why does the present Turkish state deny the facts? My take is, because they are fine with the genocide and do not wish to denounce it, the first step of which is admitting it hap

It should not be legal. You exchange your time to produce money for the company, and that's it. You should be able to do whatever you want out of the company hours, and I don't see how that can be a problem. It makes 100% sense fr

You don't know whether people want to be challenged or not. Not everyone wants to be challenged at everything. You can be good at something and still both suck and not have any interest in other things. Brilliant programmers might have

I guess medicine is a failure in that regard? Everything is documented to the letter. Perhaps we should let go of it to see what marvelous processes each individual hospital will come up with.

First, he owed no-one anything. He could set the price to 1 billion for all he cared. His former employees could take it or leave it. Second, you speak as if his claims were irrational. The way I see it, however, you would set for 125k (pro

The point of view of managers and business owners is well known. Work is not a new concept. You get what you pay for. Nothing is owed to you. Work? Tough luck, you have to pay for it too. On a free market, no less. I don't understand w

You forget it's all part of business. If you hired an external contractor you would not say a word for demanding their money. And the price of the contractor grows by a lot relative to how much and how soon you need their work. Remembe

Do you reject the people who think it is ok to beat others up if they talk back to them? That hallmark does not stand up to many examples. Being strictly against another ideology is not really the definition of fascism.

Uighurs are not in a rosy situation because they have not chosen submission to the rulers and their directives. If they had, do you think they would have it hard?

Why do you think that? Do you think those at the top who set the national strategy are mediocre? China's present position could not have been achieved by mediocre members.

I did not comment on whether democracy or "democracy" is the best system for putting power at people's hands. That's another discussion. My objections is whether we have actually been moving towards democracy or not. To

Decisions and strategies worldwide do not make sense if you don't acknowledge that such things happen. That e.g. an oil country moving away from the dollar is something the US would do nasty things to avoid - and the reasons for that f
