If you start a sentence fragment with "as a parent" and then follow it up with a medical opinion, you are doing your child a great disservice. Parents are not automatically doctors. The sheer boundless love you feel for your child does not magically imbue you with prescience and a degree in medicine. Defer to the experts, please.
We vaccinate against exceptional cases as without the vaccines those exceptional cases will become unexceptional cases, and life expectancy will drop accordingly.
The problem with your last sentence is that it's not just the parents who choose to not vaccinate who live with the consequences, but also the people who can not be vaccinated for the plethora of good reasons (which does not include "as a parent I think they're rubbish").
Aah so you just heard about the scary chemicals and didn't bother to learn more, adopting a knee-jerk reaction to them. And then felt secure enough in that to tell everyone! Good jerb!
So you create a hosts-file-based ad blocking system, then proceed to shower Slashdot with adverts it can not block, but your competitors can, and don't see the joke?
Ride sharing means (or used to, before people started getting confused) two or more people who are going to make the same (or overlapping) journey regardless of the other(s) sharing the journey, in the same car. Uber drivers are not going to drive the route without a passenger, so it's clearly not ride-sharing.
Easy with your generalisations - the taxis I've used in the US were absolutely terrible, but the ones I've used over here in Europe have been excellent. We also have public transport which is usually at least sufficient.
You sound like that muppet in the Borat movie who, for whatever reason, decided that putting "NOT!" at the end of a sentence is somehow a unique form of humour in itself. It's not, and you sound like an absolute muppet for using it. Seriously. It's cringe-worthy stuff. The modicum of credibility you entered your post with quickly evaporated by the 8th word. How sad.
Did you honestly just claim that 742.5 million people all think the same way about government action? Brilliant work, sparky! You're an absolute genius, surely!
I beg to differ. 160mb/s for ~â50 a month seems pretty reasonable to me, and that includes phone and TV. That is not an uncommon deal, and similar deals are widely available.
You are just making up those tax figures, which isn't really helping. You also forget to include what those taxes pay for, such as decent health insurance, which isn't exactly cheap in the US. But whatever - you just want to excuse the pathetic state of US internet access, as admitting it might not be #1 #1 #1 hurts you for some reason, probably due to your insecurities (which would also explain why you seem to hate women).
It's not 23% of your income. It's under 0.05% of the GDP. You do realise that you eat food, right? You do realise that climate change will drastically affect our agriculture industries, reducing crop production and moving suitable ground away from the people who are capable of farming it (and that's the best-case scenario - the worst case is the climate suitable for raising the crops we need will be in places which have the worst soil for it).
Your ignorance is staggering, and the fact you seem happy with it is bewildering. You deserve the future you get.
Mommy issues? Is that your problem? Or were you laughed at by some women? There has to be something to make someone so hell-bent on kicking up a stink about acting like a decent human being...
Who pays for the study doesn't matter. The methodology matters. Like that guy hired by the Koch brothers to show AGW doesn't exist, and ended up finding quite the opposite.
You can try to find excuses for all the research which says your held beliefs are wrong, but if the evidence says they're wrong, they're wrong. Get over yourself.
It doesn't have to be done over the entire country at once - a card can have a mag stripe and a chip at the same time. So why haven't the changes been made state-by-state? Your excuses are incredibly weak.
Aww! So cute! Size has nothing to do with it - Europe is larger than the US, contains more people, and contains many places with a far greater quality of life. Hint: money is no measure of quality of life. You'd know that if you read.
Keep telling yourself that and see just how long your decrepit infrastructure lasts. Every single country has legacy systems, so clearly that is not an excuse. That only makes sense if you truly believe the US is some wonderland of technology the rest of the world has only recently adopted, which is such an absurd notion it defies belief someone can actually hold it in the 21st century, when information which dispels said notion in seconds is available at the click of a mouse button.
It is costing them resources to serve up content you obviously want to see (hence you being there in the first place), yet you can't see that? I think the problem here lies more in your brain than in the advertising of the sites you visit. If the advertising offends you so much, don't visit their site. That simple.
Don't try bringing logic to this party. He wants the content he values for free, and doesn't care that his attitude (if extended to everyone else) will cause that content to simply disappear, or become so diluted it won't be worth reading. He simply doesn't get that. No amount of eloquence can convince him of his rampant, selfish asshattery.
And HOSTS files can't block inlined advertising (of which your spamvertising posts are a great example), whereas adblockers can do that effortlessly.
Go get some help. You need it. I await your replies where you pretend to be a whole different bunch of people all agreeing that I'm some sort of messed up lunatic. Maybe you'll link to some of my comments and you and your made-up friends will judge me on them? I can't wait!
You seem awfully confused. A monarchy might be constitutional (as in the UK now), or a dictatorship (as was in the UK ages ago). A republic might be a dictatorship, or it might be a democracy. Using "republic" to talk about a system of government is pointless, as it has absolutely nothing to do with anything. The UK, for example, is a monarchy, yet the power comes from the people - the Queen is merely a figurehead, and can make no laws. The British police seem to be doing a far better job of protecting the people than the US's police do, so your argument seems entirely false, and based on nothing but wishful thinking and ignorance.
If you want to bang on about things and use these words, it might help to know what they actually mean, so you don't look really foolish in the process.

Can hosts files block inline content? No.
I await your usual torrent of abuse from you and your many sock-puppets, joking between yourselves. Is that what the inside of your head is like?

You appear to be confusing "increasing not as much as expected" with "decreasing".

It takes human output a few hours to match the amount of CO2 emitted from volcanoes in an entire year.

So all those US cities with joke internet options are what, exactly? Your logic isn't just wrong, it doesn't even exist!

You're not special.
