Of course you had to pay fines, that was the point of the one child policy. However the GP claimed that it was "easy" to have extra kids, which it most likely was not.
Greed is what what drives us to make sure the water is clean Hu? Greed makes you sell water that is not clean... so you get the money and you don't have to care about costs.
It's not even a lack of intelligence, but a lack of forethought. Yes... but what is the difference between greed and lack of forethought... I mean except for the page in the dictionary?
BTW, why do you consider the KJV the worst of the early European translations? Because the few parts I had to read are just gibberish, trying to make the original text somewhat more "mystic" perhaps.
And I don't think there are many germs that can survive temperatures higher than the boiling point of water. There are plenty, google "thermophyls" (or something spelled similar:D )
First, the Chinese had a whole lot of "unofficial" babies that weren't reported to the government. So they didn't really go one child for everyone.
How the funk should that work? No one sees the belly? You don't bring the kid into kindergarden? It does not go to school? It has no healthcare? It is never sick? It has no passport or ID card?
WTF... how dumb are some people?
If you want to see what a low birth rate does to an economy, take a look at Japan. They're starting to have some pretty big problems. Compared to Chinas problems in 30 years that is peanuts. But China will soon be an immigration country, attracting immigrants from all over asia. Mostly female ofc, as the main problem in China is that the young population is mostly male.
we can easily produce food for the estimated 10 billion or so that is the steady state for the Earth's population - as long as we don't listen to anti-GMO activist luddites. There is no point in converting the earth into a desert and then planting "desert proof" GMO food there...
The planet easily can harbour 30, perhaps 50 billion people, and we only need sustainable agriculture and fishing to feed them. But no worries, population will probably plateau around 9 - 10 billion and then drop and stabilize around perhaps 6 billion.
For all that we don't need GMO... we only have to stop greed.
but I cannot think of a single instance where the documentary evidence explicitly states that Christians are destroying pagan texts. You mean in Europe... In Mexico christians destroyed 99.99999% of all Mayan texts, your amount of 9's might vary. Only one single catholic priest collected some/them and that is basically what is left in our days from Mayan writings.
The main obstacle in reading the bible was that it was either written in greek or in latin... It took more than a thousand years that english and german and later french or italian or spanish translations existed... (And the King James translation is probably the worst)
In Cuba no one died... is that evidence? East Germany, no one died. Italy, Spain, Greece: no one died. Is that evidence?
The people who died in Russia and especially China died due to a thing we call: revolution Or the follow up after math of the revolutions... The same amount had died if they had chosen to be not communist... perhaps more.
Why don't you read a book about what happened in Russia or China after the revolutions instead of blaming a "social system" which you seem not to understand?
The american way how schools work must be completely retarded.
The schools that suck would get no students and therefore no funds, and close. How is that supposed to work? A school is public building, payed by the city. The teachers are payed by the ministry of education, you have something like this in the US, right?
The ones that do not suck will get many students and funded. How the funk will you stop funding a school? Again: the building, heating, etc. is payed by the city. The teachers are payed by the state.
If the teachers suck, you fire them and hire better ones or give them extra education.
What the funk has MONEY to do with all that? Is your country really such retarded?
In theory... In practice, you had no real usage for a modem in an office. And then again: authorities have authority over different things. They can shut down his modem, perhaps, but not his office.
Then as an engineer you should stop mixing up "communism" (a system of markets, kind of society and ownership of property) with "totalian dictatorship" (a kind of government system).
Stalin, Mao and most importantly Pol Pot killed people, not "communism"...
E.g. the dead in Vietnam where not caused by communism, but by Americans bombing communists.
That is unusual in my area, I doubt the next "grocery" makes whole sales to the restaurant I'm sitting in, what would be the point? They both buy from the same wholesale merchant...
3D printing is ready for everything since decades.
Cheap 3D printing is not.
There is absolutely no problem in printing a full metal gun with a 3D printer, that costs $30,000 - $100,000, and uses base material that would make the cost for every gun in the range of $2,000.
Yeah, but the internet also existed outside of the US, and there never was such a restriction. Why would it? You pay for the "phone" line... what you do with it, is your business.
and we had to go to the post office to get a permit to operate a modem. Then you are probably the only one who did that... I know no one who went for a permit... we simply plugged them in.

So, what would be a way to fix that?

Internet. I suggest google

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, which this seems to have none of.
No it does not. Evidence is evidence!

Ferries are more an celtic thing.
Norse/Germans had a different mythology.
Sorry, but you are an idiot.
Especially during roman times society was more or less on the same level we are right now.
They had no computers ... and no diesel engines. And thats it. Laws, society, public interaction was more or less the same as now.
No idea what you kids learn in school ...
Heck, the 'code Napolion' or even modern German law, is 90% a word by word translation of old roman law.
The main obstacle in reading the bible was that it was either written in greek or in latin ... ... (And the King James translation is probably the worst)
It took more than a thousand years that english and german and later french or italian or spanish translations existed
Depends what you call ancient and which region you refer to.
Both "middle east" and Asia had plenty of public libraries since 4000 BC ...
The most famous one probably was the library of Alexandria.
In Cuba no one died ... is that evidence? East Germany, no one died. Italy, Spain, Greece: no one died. Is that evidence?
The people who died in Russia and especially China died due to a thing we call: revolution ... ... perhaps more.

The talk is about 3D printing ... not milling. I'm not an american, so owning or making fire arms is illegal at my place anyway ....
But the Cathars (a gnostic splinter group of christianity) did not forbid the bible. ... hunted them and killed them.
The catholics forbid the Cathars

In Europe, in most Restaurants no one would work for minimum wages.
Only a few Pubs can get away with minimum wages because the guests give enough tips.
Minimum wage in Germany is btw. somewhere around EUR 9,50.
