Maybe, but the one thing a poor country can't do without are schools for fundamental education. You can do without internet for everyone, you can do without tv. But if you don't have schools and teachers, which some countries don&

In Brazil there's a saying: "Poor people like luxury. The ones who like poverty are intellectuals."

Hum, are you in the Netherlands? 188cm is definitely tall in pretty much everywhere. 193cm, you're probably in the top 1% in everywhere except two or three countries.

I thought WGTOW was just feminism, not this separatist thing.

Intent doesn't have to do with causation. What I'm saying is that actually doing whatever it is that caused some effect does.

Because the question was 'Who are the 100 people who most changed the world?', as in 'who are the 100 people who directly changed the world?'. I think this is understood in the question. Everyone named was directly inv

Actually, in your example, Hitler's mother can't really claim she is the person responsible for Hitler's actions, unless she was there with Hitler as his senior advisor or strategist or something. Well, unless she specificall

I have plenty of women friends who have told me flat-out they wouldn't date a man shorter than them.

Try this mental test the next time you see a very short, slim, but quite good looking guy. Now imagine him in a 6'3" athletic build. It drastically changes the appeal this guy has. This was told to me by a woman friend, and it hap

As a 6'2" man, to me it is evident that I have a clear advantage over my friends, and it is evident for them too. Of course, I'm not a bum with dirty fingernails who can only talk about WoW. Think of the extra height as an ex

well, the AC thing, your building would have big open windows and lots of fans. Not too different...

So you're saying that the 100 people who most changed the world were the mothers of the 100 people who most changed the world?

So put in Soviet Union in place of Eisenhower. They're the ones who actually stopped Hitler.

I gave up on multivitamins after getting to know people who ate healthy and didn't take any, and had great health. All I take now is vitamin-D if there are many consecutive cloudy days. And sometimes protein powder when I workout reall

Maybe it was conducted by email? Could be, so no follow ups were available.

A friend of mine sometimes goes to the US, buys some nice used guitars that he knows are of good value, and sells them when he returns to Brazil, and usually it pays for the trip. forgot to add: I almost never buy my computer/electroni

Depending on where you live, though, a minimum wage sallary is not a realistic measure of poor people's income. Living in São Paulo for about 6 years now, I've yet to find someone who makes minimum wage. The janitor who cleans my

Def. not high wages. As somebody pointed out above, the minimum wage in Brazil is about R$650 (about US$300). These high prices are caused by very high import taxes.

I think there are. This guy, and the people on the similar stories that are sometimes poste here on HN, are going it alone, or as a very small group of people, in the single digits at most. He's not joining a large, homogeneous, stable

Maybe. But like I said, I never read about someone with kids doing this. What you describe can be found in very rural areas, but it's still different from what this guy is doing.

If you're into this kind of music, you could tell, sure. He begin playing one of the hardest to master solo violin pieces of the repertoire. If I saw someone playing Bach's Chaconne on the street, I'd stop right away . There

Everytime I read one of these stories, it's always someone without kids. This guy has an economics degree. He has the luxury of going back. If he had children, and they had to live like this, could he still do it, and would it be good

Agree. I have friends who have lived this lifestyle for a long time in the U.S. and Europe, and you just can't live the same way here in Brazil, for example. This freegan stuff just doesn't work here. My friends squatted in the U.

Yes, zen meditation is with the eyes partially open. About 25% like you said, but it should just be this natural state that the eyes get when you relax and star at the blank wall.

Isn't the first point pretty much the same? The second one... come to think of it, wouldn't it also have the same effect, but just take a bit longer?
