  1. Re:Maybe I'm old... on Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You are getting old. A parent cant watch their child 24/7 - more over they should not because then the child will never learn to make his or her own decisions, and yes face the consquenses.

    I blame the parents for not learning their child to think.

    Currently the social minister in Denmark is going apeshit over the fact, that as much as 7% of sextually active teens have recvied money for sex.

    So I think that things have goon that far.

    Well I dont like that idea - I am absolutely in love with it. First something is outlawed if a law has been passed against it. Therefore if not law exists nothing is outlawed. Therefore the biggest (nay only) reason there are any crimes in america is because of the US congress. So solution to all the problems: Ban the United States Congress.

    I forgot about the civil war, but - as terrible as it was - there where no planes, and targets where mainly military (yes I know they burnt farms and houses but the majority of causualties where still military). I have seen footage of the complete destruction of Berlin and it really makes me hope war we will never see war in Europe again.

    As for staying ignorant I agree. The only place for war is in games.

  7. Re:Not very funny. on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No the US used to know how to win wars. Apprently that secret where forgotten in Korea.

    And no the US has never faced a real war - the kind of war where your dont know if your family members are alive to dead, and you have to struggle everyday finding foods in boomed out cities. The French (indeed most of Europe) has had those no less than twice in the last 100 years. We have (or I believed we had) learned the cost of war - the true cost of war.

    Oh the US can have one more war - but they would need the draft, and no that would not be popular.
    Yes they would lose the war (not to the military, but like Iraq the people will fight and the US will not be able to win).

    It would likely cost them the superpower position but this does not seem to matter too much.

    Well all your program would ever need would be to read the ACT in and just try all the posible combinations (there are only 6) and just look them up in /usr/share/dict/words.

    To solve the other one, you would just read all the words of the same list that contains four letters, with the first three being FAK - there are three btw:

    fake
    faki
    faky

    And even better program would ofcause use a better dictionary.

    The reason the Eu have no military power is because we dont need it - we generally (there are a few countries including, sadly my own, that has not yet learned it).

    Anybody with a little money can by a printing press and destribute leaflets - sure the adds pay less than in tv but if the news is restricted enough people will risk thier lives for it - happend in europe sixty years ago and will happend anywere people still value freedom.

    That is nothing :) in Denmark we have varius different trades (hairdresser, clothmaker, mechanic etc) where you can study if that is your thing. If you want to go to high school you can choose between 4 different types of schools. All will get you into university if you want (and work hard):

    1) Regular highschool focused on language.
    2) Regular highschool focused on math/chemistry/science
    3) Highschool mainly for buisness.
