So in your perverted mind "kill fewer birds" = "massacre the birds". Energy sources like this kill fewer birds than the habitat devastation and pollution caused by the energy sources they replace. This really isn't difficult to understand...
Absolute bullshit. Why is internet in US cities usually so fucking toilet? I get it - it hurts to admit that the US isn't awesome at everything. Unfortunately, sticking your fingers in your ears and muttering "population density" isn't going to fix anything. Each time you (or someone else so similarly minded) utters that poor excuse, you set back US internet infrastructure.
You'd also have to vastly improve the driver training and qualification system. There's a reason speeds like that are possible in Germany - German drivers have to pass a very rigorous test to use them. You'd also have to vastly increase the amount of spending on infrastructure, as US highways are simply not rated for high speed. You'd end up with rich twats launching themselves into buildings and off embankments, which might or might not be a good thing, but the clean-up and collateral damage would cost society dearly.
Other countries seem to manage it, so if there are inherent problems with public works, it seems an American problem and not one intrinsic to all public works.
7/10. Nice use of "==>" and bold text, but you didn't include any rambling of how awesome APK is, and he uses a different signature. You also didn't include a P.S. containing the actual message of your post. To really finish this off, you should now stalk me in apparent ignorance of how insane it is.
Perhaps you should go meet some Muslims and then you'd realise they're about as scary as anyone else. Singling them out only shows us how small your world is, and how scared you are in it. It's sad.
It's about having your company's browser able to run the sites and services people want to use. If they don't support DRM the users will use a browser that does. Pushing for DRM isn't a bad thing in itself, as as long as we have commercial content providers providing the content, the choice is either "Their content with DRM" or "No content". As soon as content providers stop crapping the bed every time the discussion turns to not DRM-ing their content, browsers will be less likely to have it.
I guess if that teach leader CEO spent more time being the CEO and less time actively funding organizations which seek to deny basic human rights, he might still be there...
Meh. Each to his own. I like the countryside, towns and cities too, and I like to get to them in comfort, very quickly. In the case of the intercity trains, drinking beer and eating meals at 200mph is always awesome. You can't enjoy a nice cold beer on your travels, which is a shame - you are stuck relying on yourself, and foregoing all the pleasure and activities that requires.
There are systems of public transport which are very good at reaching out into the environs around towns and cities, and linking them all together. Not all public transport is as crappy as your have experienced it. Your arguments would make sense if that was the case, but it simply isn't. You are arguing against what public transport was like in the 70s and 80s, not what it is today.
There are other public transport methods than buses. A decent tram system works wonders, especially if it shares its tracks with long-range tram trains which reach neighboring towns and cities. I use one every day, and it's quiet, comfortable, not crowded, affordable, heated, punctual, and very convenient.
For the one day you'd rent a car, or just take a taxi. It's still a lot cheaper than having a car on hand just in case you want to have a BBQ.
It sounds like you have some impression of public transport that is not well grounded in reality. You are arguing against a phantom public transport concept that exist only in your head. You are also conveniently forgetting the downsides to car ownership, which is somewhat strange.
You are assuming that was the pinnacle of his achievements, which is clearly not a rational approach to take. Not that you've ever thought twice about attacking Muslims, regardless of the facts.
I walk about 20 meters from my front door to the tram, and then about 300 meters the other end to get to the office. The journey takes ~30 minutes.
I don't have a car and don't need one. Public transport is amazing when done well. I feel sorry for you not knowing what it's like to at least have the option of not using a car.
That's quite the false dilemma. There are plenty of cities with pretty low crime, quiet streets, and affordable rent. You not living in one or knowing about them doesn't stop them existing!
You'd make things easier for yourself if you stopped grouping massive groups of people together for no reason other than convenience. "Us Israelis", "we", "our", etc. don't help, as you are describing millions of people with vastly differing opinions and experiences. There is no way you can be correct in your assertions, which hurts any point you were trying to make (a point with which I agree, by the way).
They're not "their own cities" any more than you would consider Swansea your city. ISIS are an absolute mess of people, in practically every way conceivable, but let's not pretend they're the only group killing medical workers while pretending to be righteous...
Seeing as he doesn't interact with poor people in Tanzania, or have a Bedouin tribe running his bank, or vote for Lapp mayoral candidates, your point is abject toilet. Yes, globally, those in the west are rich. Only a child (or someone wanting to not make rich people feel bad) would think that means local differences do not matter.

There is a British train that inspects at ~200km/h, and a French one that inspects at ~100km/h.

It's hypocritical to use a well-situated resource to complain about a poorly-situated resource? Did you think your rant through?
The two don't go hand in hand. There are excellent public transport systems which connect tiny little villages and their environs.
They are synonyms. They have nothing to do with describing why or how you exist, just the temporary relationship you have with the entity in question.

That might be true where you live, but in other countries that is really not the case.

With a uniform distribution you'd be right, but as that's clearly not the case, you are incredibly wrong. Quelle surprise.

That's one taxi driver. I can counter that anecdote with dozens upon dozens of great German taxi drivers, so I guess you are back to square one.
