The problem to solve is trust. The technical solution is a hardware root of trust. This is typically a specially hardened chip in the device. A Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Your Apple ][ does not have a TPM. It cannot run software that ca

Well... the sicilian mafia comes to mind... the french can be quite violent too... Western Europe is not so bad either, with guns. I guess you mean "normal" non-criminal people in the EU are not allowed to have AR-15 assault rifle

"... quality of care in the US is far better ..." Care starts when you need it, at the ambulance level. Recently we saw that people who dial 911 in the US can actually die because the ambulance arrives hours (!!!) later. So no. Qu

So ... does that mean that under a thin veneer of democracy the USA are actually a theocracy like Iran, but christian-affiliated? That would explain a lot of the recent actions by your current administration.

We have 100% paper voting in Canada. We vote during the day... polls close in the evening... A few hours later we have the results. Hand counted, for the entire country. What is the difference?

... and kills more than 100 children. What does it take, exactly, for Donald Trump to be formally accused of war crimes and arrested on sight if he ever visits some actually civilized countries?

The problem is not that it costs something. The problem is that it is managed for maximum profit, and it kills people! The woman died. Even more importantly, no one made a follow-up to ensure she safely reached a hospital. This is disgustin

Someone in the thread mentioned that in a red team test 95% of the guns were passed undetected under the very noses of your TSA. That is what you call security?

Well... they have to interact with the ICE and similar US-Gestapo shit at the border. Not surprised they want to keep safely within their "East-USA" territory and go nowhere. No one wants to be disappeared in Ecuador.

Defend against who? You? I am in Canada, and the USA recently threatened to invade us, basically. So we need to buy weapons from the USA in order to defend ourselves from the USA? Sounds like mafia protection schemes.
