And later on by astronomers, geophysicists, climatologists, geneticists, etc, etc, etc, for crying out loud.
The science of compared anatomy isn't that new either, but by the nonsense you ejaculate one would suspect all the disciplines above are pulling all the millons of years of natural phenomena out of their un-skeptical asses, you would want us to forget they arrived to similar conclussion by different, independent observations.
You would like us believe that the "evolutionists" are a weird group of people that wish to trick us into some beliefs that are completely esoteric. I have got news for you: many different scientific fields are supporting the conslussions of evolutionary theory. The body of evidence is so overwhelming that I can't believe I still have to write rebuttals to put to shame the uninformed, baseless opinions of evolution deniers.
Even John Paul II, Pope of the Catholic Church (the biggest and most important Christian denomination in the world) stated that Evolution is more than a theory,
As for anybody expressing doubts about the process of evolution by means of natural selection I would class them as nuts plain and simple, their religion or political affilitaion is of no interest to me. If they tend to be religious fundamentalists with fascist tendencies (they would love to impose into all of us their world view) it is purely incidental.
... how difficult it is to see big animals in the wild.
You can literally run into an elephant, a rhino or many other creatures without noticing.
I have done some driving in Etosha National Park in Namibia, in several ocassions I had close encounters with elephants that were barely visible behind the trees and bushes.
Violent games trivialize, descontextualize and even glamourize the scary part of the world out there.
If you want to teach children about the scary world out there, talk to them about living in Iraq and the very real posibility of being bombed out of existence. This is all on the news (no longer frontpage material mind you, but parents should be able to digest the relevant from the suprflous for their children education.
If you are too lazy to type "United nations peace keeping operations" in Google, it is your problem not ours.
And of course if we would quote succcess histories for you (which are far many more than three, but unlikely to make the headlines that your "failures" make) you would define "success" in any way that fits your purposes, not in any way that would be fair to the institution and the limitations that countries like the US, Russia and China put on it.
You say elsewhere that it is legitimate to question the UN's peace keeping operations when talking about its stance in global climate change. I am sure you also think it is legitimate to judge the parents for the sins of their offspring and to curse the descendents of people commiting sin for 7 generations to come.
Lets ignore the science as long as we can rely on the reputation of the messanger. It is such a basic case of ad hominem attack that I frankly do not know why you even bother putting your point of view forward, you disqualify yourself from any informed unbiased debate starting from such a flimsy base.
Simply there are no jobs there or the salaries are much lower and not enough to satisfy the needs of a normal family.
If you get a job sweeping streets in Mexico you will not be exploited in any way, but try making a living out of US$ 100 a month or less, and you will understand the conondrum these people face.
The EU is not in the bussiness of imposing different copyrights in different countries. The labels are. They could simply say that the rights are the same for all purchasers whitin the EU regardless or the store used and their location.
Now, hopefully, they will get thier asses busted for their griddiness.
Copyright laws are applied at the national level, there is no single copyright agreement at the EU level.
What this means in practice is that copyright holders can prevent you copying from a server they don't want you to copy from, and they would be exercising their current legal rights.
The EU has to sort out this by at the very least setting a minimum standard of wha copyright can and can't cover in the EU (it should for starters guarantee the same rights in all countries for the consumer....).
Look buddy, let us know when the US drops agricultural subsidies, allows European Airlines to fly US internal route and to own more then 49% of US comapnies and so on and so forth.
YOu are a case of a very black pot calling a kettle black.
The point is that if you buy via iTunes in Europe there seems to be egregious violations of EU law.
Apple is the obvious responsible for this, but if they can show they have been coerced into this I am sure the blame will be squarely placed where it belongs.
Plot: nonsensical, childish fare (yeah, I will travel half the galaxy and instead of destroying you with my shipd's weapons I will use my samurai sword. Give me a frigging break).
Special effects: average.
Memorable characters: ?
Cultural significance: niche at most.
Filmographic achievements: none.
Some nerds, for reasons I completely fail to understand, are besoted with the movie and the TV series. All the power to them, but frankly this movie can't even remotely touch the movies mentioned as well as others (Metropolis, War of the Worlds 50s version, etc.) that redifined the genre for other that came afterwards. Heck RoboCop, Terminator are way above this movie.
But as it could have been an idiot thinking that somehow they are helping someone in the Linux world (and here I fail to see wich twisted logic would allow for this) what about somebody doing it just for the kicks of giving Linux adherents a bad reputation?
The kneejerking of blaming immediately derided Linux supporters is understandable, but it logically follows that other people would have something to gain in different ways by protrying Linux supporters as unreasonable people (which most aren't).
As long as I get free DRM music I don't care who produces it or owns the legal rights to it.
If the music labels will have the last laugh it would be because nobody else managed to steal their thunder while they had their heads up there where the Sun does not shine.
Non DRM means freedom for the music fan, how the music bussiness organizes itself (finally) around a non DRMed world is up to them. As long as they do not do things illegal or unethcial I could not care less.
I am celebrating, I don't see reason to stop celebrating just because copyright infringers could have a more difficult time amkign bussiness out of stuff they do not have any rights to (copyright is amonstruosity as it is certainly, but that is a completely different battlefront once DRM isout of the way).

.... the average age people would expect to live was ~30.
But we do not live in such societies any more, thus we have to make the necessary adjustment to the current circumstances.
The jury is back, passed veredict and went home.
Only you guys in the US still cling to the idea you can polute as much as you wish without having any consquences in the global climate.
If you want to spread democracy around the world this will come with the necessary democratic bodies in a worldwide scale.
Ditto if you want to sort out nasty regimes or WMDs (ha, ha, ha), you will become accountable one way or another.
It seems to me like the US, going around as the please in the world, are the ones demanding global governance.

And it has been probed conclusively that it is more dangerous to chatter away in your mobile phone.

I have bought stuff from amazon.de, I am based in the UK, had no problems so far.
I have also bought stuff from Spain and France, some more forward looking shops just stablish an European presence and send stuff anywhere in the EU.

Any other in region 5?

The horror.

.... your powers of comprehension?
In a single market (as the EU is) a company is not allowed to differentiate pricing.
The law was there before the apple, so to speak.

Nothing simpler than that.

.... what about if the artists does not perform in your locality or you can't go where they perform?
