The US doesn't need to be the best at everything to be a good country to live in. You should be happy of technological improvement wherever it happens.
Very few of the people I know believe in god as depicted in the bible, even though a lot of them were baptised or married in a church, and are thus registered as christians. Most of them haven't even ever read part of the bible.
From my personal experience, it's especially the case with people under 40 and even more so under 30. Additionally the more highly educated a person is the less likely he is to believe in god. I'm just inferring from that.
Islam is about dedicating your life to the worship of god, and following the law of god in everything you do. Christianity (in modern times) is about loving and accepting others.
So I wouldn't exactly say that all religions are the same with regards to tolerance.
Christianity currently has about all of the most powerful countries on their side (with the exception of China), so Christianity can have a pretty laid back attitude right now.
Christianity barely exists at all. It's only a handful of old people around the world following the basic principles without any official government support. In any case, they're not proselytizing any more. The religion is slowly dying out. Good riddance. Two big religions to go still.
It's not "shaping up to be". Islam has always been about forcing the one true view of god to everyone. It's by definition intolerant and bent on world domination.
I would love to see this magical oil the US has secured through war...
Thanks to war, the US now has very influential connections with the governments and the economies in the middle east.
Oh? The US doesn't use techniques like that
Shale oil is getting fairly important in the US but isn't properly government-controlled and has serious environmental impacts. I don't suppose it is very publicized on TV.
That right there is the issue, because European countries are smaller, they are better able to build public transport. In the US, it just isn't possible. The major cities have metro rail systems, but you still have to drive your car to the nearest train station if you don't live in the city. The US is enormous, unless you have actually driven around in it, it is hard to imagine.
A public transport network, even a large-scale one, would end up cheaper than everyone having their own car, especially if having low fuel prices requires the government to take important and costly measures. It's not going to happen though, because that would against the american way of promoting heavy consumption.
In Europe, gas is actually expensive (1.5 euros per litre), in part because we don't have our countries constantly attacking the middle-east to secure oil, and because we don't use techniques that ruin the land to extract it; indeed, our land being not as huge as the US, we'd rather take care of it.
On top of that, gas is heavily taxed, cars are banned from city centres on certain days, and the government strongly encourages the use of public transportation over cars, to the point of replacing car lanes by tram ones everywhere.
People don't complain that much and it doesn't really cause problems with the economy.
Things you mount aren't located in/mount, no it is/mnt. Ahh well that is so easy, I can't believe it didn't know that right off the top of my head!
You're free to mount things anywhere you want on your filesystem. I personally use/media, since that's what most distributions tend to use for hard disk drives.

Way to make everyone disagree with you!
Stop giving away driving licenses to kids that can't drive.
It might also reduce drunk driving to stop prohibiting alcohol to older teens.
Hasn't this been public knowledge for decades?
Indeed, that's obvious. Why are you telling me this?
Prices are deduced by how much people value the products and are ready to pay for them, not by how much it costs to produce them.
That's not what irony is.
That is incorrect.
In France, such things are free, with unlimited calls and texts.
You only have to pay if you want 3G or other type of data.
You know what's worse about this?
The fact that it matters to you.
The US doesn't need to be the best at everything to be a good country to live in. You should be happy of technological improvement wherever it happens.
Sorry wrong place in thread...
You realize those towers aren't self-supporting, right?
cannons firing explosive shells are not mere guns.
Riding horses didn't require to able to move that much.
This is inaccurate. Good armor was bullet-proof. People stopped wearing armor for other reasons.
Not in the western world. (North America, Europe and Japan).

That kind of games is not primarily targeted at children.
Stop rethinking the classroom every other day.
All "classroom rethinkers" ever propose is distracting kids with useless technology.

If you don't know these two commands or find them arcane, you probably shouldn't even be allowed to work with a computer.
Anything in C is unlikely to be Microsoft stuff.
Embedded systems are usually Linux- or BSD-based.
