  1. Is it possible to live on $17 a day on the US?

  2. Excellent idea. Children can learn to read and write and mathematics by the magic of the market.

  3. Would it? Why would corporations who pay very little tax suddenly queue up to pay more?

  4. It's not complete bullshit as there are kids running off to join ISIS but as usual with the far end of either side of the political spectrum it's blown completely out of proportion. The uncontrolled immigration lie is particularly insidious. The amount of people that actually get into this country is tiny compared to those that want to come.

  5. According to the last census 67.44% of Bradford residents are white. Are they Muslims as well?

  6. If it was unlimited then why do people need to hide in lorries? Surely they just need to turn up at Dover and claim their free council house.

  7. It hasn't been unlimited.

    I've been told on here that because I have the same same skin colour and genitals as Hitler that I'm equally responsible for his crimes. I'm not a racist either and I refuse to accept responsibility for the crimes of others, whether that's slavery or genocide.

  9. Maybe they're just fans of 80s arcade games.

    What will it take to turn the arrogance off? Le Pen in power in France? AfD as part of the German government? Keep sucking your fingers in your ears and shouting "stupid stupid" because that's been hugely successful so far.

    Aaaaaaand, that ladies and gentlemen, is why you lost. You want people to listen to you? Stop calling them names and find out why this has happened.

    So what? That would suggest that European feudalism benefited white males because "they have all the power".

    White males have all the power isn't even close to the truth. A very small number of white males (and females like Theresa May) do but they don't give a shit about the rest of us and are quite happy to enact policies that shit on us.

    Very few white males have any power. Idiotic statements like that are why there is now an orange lunatic in the White House.

    You certainly can't spell perjury.

  16. What country is this? I keep being told that Christmas is being cancelled in this country but it just seems to get bigger every year instead.

  17. I live in Western Europe. I've got a better idea of what's going on here than someone on the other side of the Atlantic who doesn't leave their basement. What I think of Islam is largely irrelevant.

  18. You need to stop watching Alex Jones mate. It's rotting your brain.

    What has the result of a foreign election got to do with us? It's a big old world out there and most of us don't have a vote in the US election.

  21. Ubuntu sucks for me on How Linux Saved A School's Failing Windows Laptop Program (opensource.com) · · Score: 2

    I've had enough of the stupid flaws, bad desktop environment and shit built in software.

    The Software Center is a lesson in how not to build an application. I went on to it yesterday and it told me I had 11 updates. There were Install buttons next to each one and an Install button at the top right (should really say Install All to be clear what it does, but never mind).

    I click this button, get the spinning circle and then get returned to the update screen a minute later telling me I've got 14 updates. No error message, no suggestion of what went wrong, nothing only now the Install All button has disappeared. Great design, great testing. I'm sure if I wasted half an hour fucking about with the command line it would work but then what's the point of having this application?

    Linux is supposed to be better than Windows. This is not better. This is really poor. I'm going to try Mint and see if that's any better because I want to be able to use Linux over Windows, I really do but my experiences always seem to suck, especially on laptops.

  22. Re: You bet your ass they are on Uber Loses Right To Classify UK Drivers as Self-Employed (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The foundation of our economy is that large numbers of people have enough disposable income to buy lots of things including taxi rides. If everyone is earning fuck all in an insecure job there won't be many Uber drivers (because they won't be able to buy a car) or Uber customers. Our corporate overlords seem desperate to get rid of the very thing that makes them wealthy - their customers. They don't seem to realise that all that dreadful socialism that we've had since WW2 has created millions of new customers for thousands of industries old and new. Getting rid of them just to get the stock price up a bit isn't going to end well.

    What industry do you work in? If it's one with a shortage of people with the required skills then it's nothing like Uber's.

    Maybe in Silly Valley. Everywhere else we're just ordinary guys doing a job, much like accountants or plumbers. I don't think I've ever met a female plumber. I hope the SJWs are on that one too.
