You were mislead. Russian is a European language and can be learned with effort. The different alphabet isn't a hindrance since it works in the same way. People like to exaggerate how difficult their own languages are to learn, but usually without much comparison.
tl;dr;hate learning; Regressive taxation has nothing to do with the effect it has on humans. It is entirely about percentages and there is no room judging what is fair or unfair. Regressive is not a value judgement.
Flat is flat. Regressive is regressive. The meaning of regressive taxation is that the percentage of income paid as taxes goes down as income raises.
Consumption based taxes are usually regressive. I would be curious to know if the US has a regressive or progressive tax policy after summing all taxes and involuntary contributions. I bet it is regressive, primarily due to capital gains and the use of tax shelters.
The claim was that there is no state called America. There is a state called America. There are also continents called America, and my neighbor has a pet dog called America. Neither of which invalidate the existence of a state that is called America.
Here's another example that might make sense. vipw isn't written on my passport, but I am called vipw.
Wow. What amazing ignorance. The United States of America is called America. See the post you are replying to if you need an example of it in a sentence. If you need to see a dictionary to believe something is true: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/america
Illiteracy isn't a measure of intelligence. It is a measure of specific knowledge, as you say. There is even a commonly used term for people who are familiar with operating a computer: computer-literate. Did you forget to read the comment you replied to?
I don't think anyone expects computer literacy to include basic programming concepts (such as loops and conditionals), but it's not absurd to suggest it should.
Not in Greece (and the rest of the Eurozone). Greece's economic problem is precisely that they do not control the money supply and can't use inflation to lower real costs.
After reading the headline just one more time, I have to conclude that there is another possibility. It is possible to extract older DNA from these skeletons if you move the skeletons out of Spain.
Read the headline again carefully. It's the oldest DNA extracted from these 7000 year old skeletons. Obviously you can extract older DNA from older tissue, but good luck extracting older DNA from these skeletons!
Then why not power it with hydro or nuclear power? It's a possibility for many people, maybe not for you.
And for an airplane it's pointless, but for a car it's very good to not pollute out of the tailpipe. Combustion byproducts are bad for human health, so it's good to not expel them in the middle of urban areas where many people breathe.
It's nice to grow a little extra food, you know, just in case. It's not very nice to be dependent upon foreign nations for essential commodities. Consider oil shocks or when Russia shuts off the pipelines to Europe -- now imagine if food was being cut off instead.
That said, much of the government subsidy is trade brinkmanship between US and EU. It has the unintended consequence of making poor countries unable to compete in the world agriculture market.
A better system would probably be government "food banks", which would buy food futures from world market instead of national one. Agricultural lobby is never going to support that, and they have real clout.
Fine in theory, but it does a lot to encourage a barter economy. A well functioning government needs about 40% of the economy, and that's just too much of a "discount" to pass up.

But on the other hand, that does sound like a shitty place to work.
In that situation, wouldn't you be happy to have the precision that a mouse gives you.
In which federation is that a federal offence?

So now I must either admit that I'm stupid, or burn you at the stake for your blatant heliocentric viewpoints.
I'm stupid.
There is no lunar night. There's a dark side and a light side, and occasionally an eclipse.
I'm sure you mean mutilating, not mutating.

What's your hurry? Travelling faster isn't the only way, and it doesn't even seem likely.
Stasis, extreme longevity, generation ship -- any of these seem more likely than breaking c!

The obvious form of birth control is female education. What kind of crazy person would suggest a one-child policy?
And AC lacks reading comprehension. Read carefully, sco98by's strawman is the anti-jewish scumbag.
