pretty exclusive products like the majority of Southern EU that are legally entrenched (eg you canÃ(TM)t sell Bordeaux or Champagne in Europe if they didnÃ(TM)t originate from the region). You lost mee somehow. How would that change if Catalonia separates from Spain (considering that Bordeax and La Champagne are in France anyway)?
but they get up in arms that Facebook might be using the microphone to record them? You seem not to grasp the difference between giving snd taking. a) I give you $100. I have $100 less, you have $100 more. b) You take away $100 from me. Same result. Except for the law suit following.
I found it more depressing that my old iPad 2 originally not even had an calculator. I downloaded a free one and needed to block its access to the internet on cellular, so it stopped displaying advertisement.
I guess the fix for the current iPhone is the same: download a third party calculator app. It is probably more functional complete anyway.
Yes. separation of church and state in the west was implemented first by Christians. and before that Christians did not have a separation of Church and state. That was my point.
There are countries like this and like that. Homosexuality was illegal in Germany till mis 1980s. When were the relevant laws in the US removed?
You are constantly mixing up social development with religion. Both are two different things. Islam does not forbid homosexuality, Some islamic countries however might. But you mix it up constantly and blame islam. Instead of blaming the not working democracy or tyrannic oppression of the king or what ever.
I see no difference if the catholic church influences a democratic state to make homosexuality illegal versus an islamic imam influencing his society doing so.
The countries we are talking about, just take all of those with a majourity of islamic religion: they would be exactly the same if they would be christian or had any other religion! Because they are simply just 150 - 300 years out of the middle ages. They simply are few hundred years in mental/social development behind. When the Shah came back to Iran in the 1950s, the country was on the exact same level as in the year 500, except for a few hundred cars in Teheran.
The problems there are social, humanistic of nature and not of religion nature. Claiming otherwise only shows that you have no clue about religions. Or history.
I said liberal democracy is simply not compatible with Islam. Democracy that violates the rights of minorities and that violates individual liberties, is, of course, compatible with Islam. Yeah, and where in the Quoran is that written? Hu? That is your _idiotic_ opinion, and not a fact that comes from any interpretation of the religion.
Atheism is illegal in several of those countries That was true all over in Europe under christian reign, too! Worse than a Pagan is a godless person as he is the true vessel of demons/satan... and much harder to convert.
So all your arguments like: but look, there homosexuality is banned, there atheism is banned all that: has nothing too do with the religion called Islam.
It has to do with power! People and structures that have power don't want to lose it. This are partly imams and partly nobility. Partly terrorists groups payed by men in the back.
And instead of polluting your readers minds with the hate of your ignorance: I suggest to visit such countries and look for your self. Or check youtube and watch some documentaries. E.g. Morocco/Marocco... how ever they mostly speak french there;)
Of course he is not a climate scientist. He just repeated what he got told by other non climate scientist. Everyone who takes a prediction with a concrete date, especially so short term, is a complete idiot.
No idea what your religion talk is about, I'm an atheist.
There is an Newton emulator called Einstein for iOS, but it only runs on rooted devices (aka it is not in the AppStore). I would love to have something like that on an eInk reader or an Android device (as I don't want to root my iPad).
Oh, I just see: there is an Android version. Just google 'Einstein newton emulator'.
That is something that has not been done yet. You are living behind the moon. Devices like this we gave since years. Probably a dozen companies compete around specialized eInk devices that are focusing on note taking and sketching. See my other posts from today.
Because an iPad Pro lasts about 10h. Sucks in bright sun light. Has not even a matte screen (Hello Apple, it is 2017...)
And an eInk device runs for a month, works in every environment, and there are nice ones (for reading, not for sketching) that even have an illuminated screen, like the Nook Glow. Most of them are water tight enough to survive a drop at the beach.
There are much better solutions for eInk note taking and drawing than a device that requires/runs windows 10. E.g. from http://www.remarkable.com/ or the NoteTable/NoteSlate from https://boingboing.net/2011/03... There are plenty with pressure sensitive surfaces, or a combined device, the Lenovo Yoga Book (colour screen, keyboard that doubles as digitizing device, and you can write on paper while the device digitizes it)
Muslim countries, of course, have dance and music, but those are national or regional art forms, not Islamic art forms. With the same argument you could argue there are no Christian art forms except "painting" Bibles.
Islam is inherently and expressly totalitarian; read the Quran. Lol, which part you mean?
Christianity itself makes a strong distinction between church and state No it does not. That is a modern invention.
I don't know of any predominantly Muslim country that is not "affected" by the totalitarian nature of Islam. Affected as there ares terrorists yes. Affected that the government is pushing Islam or using Sharia law, no. E.g. Marocco, Tunisia, before Erdogan Turkey, now more and more Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia. All countries with mostly Islamic population.
A few Muslim countries tried to secularize and become liberal democracies "from the top down", but they seem to be failing one by one; liberal democracy is simply not compatible with Islam. Of course it is. In the old times the califs where elected. At least when the last one had no hires. About many things always was voted. Of course only amoung the nobility, as in the Roman republic.
Islam was founded around 500 (I guess one could look up the correct date), so depending on region, they spread the same time. But considering the geographical center of each "movement" islam was 500 years after christianity. Then again you could count the various waves... which probably intersected but did not overlap... to lazy to check:D
We know for a fact now that warming runaway is simply not a valid theory On what basis do you claim that? You have no idea if/when the perma frost is thawing and if that releases enough CH4 to cause a runaway effect.
You forget to mention that the Rohingya are muslims. And the natives in south asia are scared to hell by the 'slow islamic invasion'. I'm not saying it is justified... but if you want to talk about religions then don't take it one wayed.
Btw: Myanmar is ruled by a military junta. That has probably much more to do with the expelling of the Rohingya than religion.
What about dance and music? Or is that not art? Islamic culture/ruling was not ever oppressive. And it is not in our days. Only a few countries are affected. The Nazis were basically christians... nevertheless everywhere where they ruled, you would call them nazi oppressors, not christian oppressors.
'Islamic' is absolutely not irrelevant. It perfectly describes about what patterns we are talking here. You could call it arabic or persian though, but then the majourity of readers would need to guess about what you are talking.
That and your parent is actually incorrect. Islam and judaism forbids depicting of god, not of humans. However some branches argue, that god created man in his image, and hence depicting of humans is prohibited, too. However there is plenty of islamic art that actually does depict humans.

Catalonia is the richest region in Spain.
One of the reasons why they want to separate.
So your points are moot.

So: you are Nordic then, or from far east Europe?
Per BTU? Practically nothing.
A contradiction in itself.
Either you frack or you don't.
When you frack the gas can leak everywhere.
And you want to tell me, none of them can program? hahahah!
So Al Gore was wrong by 5 or 10 years?
So you completely missed his point?
turp182 posted this as answer to you: https://www.google.com/maps/pl...
Hint: look at the damn picture. When the ice cap is gone ... all the green area around the mountain will be desert.
Kilimanjaro is watering (via aqueducts thousands of years old) areas 100ds of km away. Everything there will simply be dead
Wo the funk cares if Al Gore missed the date by 5 or 10 years?

You lack google foo?
Every majour car company is testing self driving cars since ages. Basically in every 'interesting' european city.
And in what way is your mathematic mind acrobatic relevant?
When do you come to your point?
Using wind to power most any European nation means covering half of the nation with windmills. .... perhaps you want to look on a map ...
Ha ha ha ha
It is actually not very hard to be "not blasphemic".
I'm an atheist. I feel absolutely no urge to mock other peoples religions or blaspheme their priests, temples, religions etc.
Either you have respect for humans or not, if you 'believe' you have respect, then respect their religions, too.
Then you can ignore the penal code, as you never are covered by it.
You forget to mention that the Rohingya are muslims. And the natives in south asia are scared to hell by the 'slow islamic invasion'. ... but if you want to talk about religions then don't take it one wayed.
I'm not saying it is justified
Btw: Myanmar is ruled by a military junta. That has probably much more to do with the expelling of the Rohingya than religion.
What about dance and music? Or is that not art? ... nevertheless everywhere where they ruled, you would call them nazi oppressors, not christian oppressors.
Islamic culture/ruling was not ever oppressive. And it is not in our days. Only a few countries are affected.
The Nazis were basically christians
That is wrong.
I suggest to google. You would find e.g. http://www.visual-arts-cork.co...
