When I google my name I can't find anything about myself. But there's an arty photographer with the same name as me, so I get a lot of hot naked women pictures.
If some paranoid prospective employer tries to google me, he's in for a surprise:-)
Your argument is so insightful. There's no waythey can be right. Because they're on one side and they will be on the other. That's so cool. Reminds me of that fable about the wolf and the lamb.
I wonder, if they are the 99%, that's a LOT of people. How will they find oil company executive jobs for all that people?
Well, if I have to choose one side, at least I know one thing. The Tea Party guys are, and will always be, wrong.
The poor bankers and oil companies behind the "grassroots" Tea Party don't have a chance against the overwhelming financial might of the tree-hugging hippies!
This is outright illegal in my country. Don't you Americans have any basic right to privacy?
Anyway, I'd never hire anyone so stupid as to give me their passwords. Would you trust someone like that your company data? And I'd never want to work for a company so stupid to ask for that. It's a clear sign of control-freak, unfocused management.
So, you are against progressive taxation? The rich guy also gets back a lot more from the society he lives in than the other fellows, so why should he complain that he pays more taxes?
I'd LOVE to pay a million euro of income tax every year!
Nonsense. Facebook drives on roads and shits. When their employees and shareholders are driving on behalf of the company or taking a shit on company time, Facebook's responsible. When they do those things on their own time, in their own cars, on their own toilets, they're reponsible.
But then all the generals and politicians couldn't masturbate to yet another extremely expensive war toy! Let the guys enjoy themselves. What will you come up with next, live in peace? Crazy shit.
I never said it was peaceful. I said it was "more peaceful". You're trying to use a straw man against me.
Was there any active conflict in Iraq at the time of the Baby Bush invasion? Has Al Qaeda ever set foot there before said invasion? So yeah, it was definitely "more peaceful" at that time. The American invasion was completely illegal and unjustified. Like all American interference there, the only result was to make things worse.
This is really wrong. Even Europe still has a long way ahead. I can't imagine why the court decided something so stupid. I hope this battle is not over yet.
Religion should be in the temples, and out of public classrooms. If parents like religion so much, put their kids in religious schools or teach them religion at home.
Here, people watch the exact same movies and series. Don't even get me started on the shoot-em-up videogames. Everybody plays them. Just like in the US.
European movies and series can be quite violent. Not the American kind of violence, spectacular, with huge explosions, but realistic, crude violence. It impresses me more to watch an Italian movie where mobsters coldly shoot people's heads in the middle of Naples and calmly walk away, than to watch Bruce Willis blow up a whole building in some Hollywood blockbuster.
Our news are different, though. Generally they focus on politics, events and sports, we're not subject to the bombardments of violence and fear you get on your TVs. I' sure that contributes a lot to the general sense of insecurity, not fiction and games. That makes people want to buy illusory safety in the form of guns.
Pay a little attention. The homicide rate in Canada is nowhere near Zimbabwe. The first column lists gun-related deaths, which includes suicides. There are no data for suicides in Zimbabwe, which makes the total gun-related death rate close to Canada. There are many countries with no data for suicides, which makes the total gun-related death rate a pretty uselss data series.
Order the list by the Homicides column, you'll see the US ranking very high, just below Zimbabwe, and Canada quite a few places below.
I wrote "most of Europe", not all of it. You provide a single country as an example. Europe has many countries.
There are religious schools in Portugal also. But only a tiny minority attends them. Most schools belong to the State, and are therefore secular, as mandated by our Constitution. Most countries in Europe have secular States.
So do tell me: How many genocides have been attempted/carried out since we got involved?
The several estimates range from several hundred thousands to more than a million people killed as a result of your invasion. Is that not a genocide?
Brush up on your history, Today's Middle East is nothing compared to the atrocities that have been going on there since before Christanity.
That's pretty understandable. People used to be pretty uncivilised in ancient times, you know? Besides, the whole history of the US is just a pimple in the ass of the history of Middle East.

That must be why construction and furniture keep falling apart all around the world, but not in the US.

They're not comparable.

Yes, society can function with private services, and a lot better.

OK, so let's all stop paying taxes. Let's see how many days it will take until it looks like Zombie Apocalipse. Really, go ahead.

We as a species invest a lot in our kids, we don't just lay 20 eggs and let them fight amongst themselves.
That's how Libertarians breed, you insensitive clod!

Thank you, I didn't know that.

Funny, because Saddam committed all those crimes using US supplied weapons and had US blessing.
I used Google Search and Google Transate, you could have done the same.

By the way, displaying crosses in public classrooms is illegal in Portugal, as it should be.

Killing sprees are exceptional events. The huge murder rate in the US comes from everyday murders, not the occasional killing spree.

riiiiight...before the US went over there it was the most peaceful place on Earth...
It was definitely more peaceful before. Not meaning that it was a paradise...
anything about the history of the middle east....which has, for 2000 years, been in a nearly *constant* state of war.
You mean, like Europe?
Whooooooosh!
Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the US is far, far higher up that scale.
another example of ignorant hate speech, ignorant grouping of people under a label and ignorant generalities about them.
You mean, like Sara Palin or Glenn Beck do?
