If you watch the clip, John Oliver was very careful in the way he spoke. He didn't say, "Coal guy said X" instead he said, "the newspaper reported that Coal guy said X." I'm sure they had lawyers reviewing the script before airing.
Except that is not a valid legal defense.
Except you're wrong. If the NYT says X, and then I later state, "NYT said X", then I have made a statement of fact. And the truth IS a defence, at least in the US.
Then there is the huge advantage of not having neighbor noise coming through your walls and also not having someone getting pissy because your TV was on a bit too loud.
Oh, you bought a house. As if buying means a standalone dwelling, and not a condo or what have you.

BTW, here in Stockholm, not counting the down payment, you'll start seeing the cost savings from buying over renting (assuming you can even find a rental) from Month 1.
After the end of the Cold War, Sweden joined the European Union on 1 January 1995, but declined NATO membership, as well as Eurozone membership following a referendum. It is also a member of the United Nations, the Nordic Council, Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Perhaps you're thinking of Norway, which is a member of NATO but isn't part of the EU?
... it is already SOP at almost every airport xray worldwide to turn on the laptop so the security can confirm that the battery is functioning and not a bomb.

Maybe you should learn to read a complete sentence or two, rather than having a meltdown as soon as you see the word "capitalism"?

I've never encountered them anywhere but in China, either, but they seem insanely popular there.
I'm in the US and I get 4 weeks paid vacation, some very senior folks get 5.
I'm in Sweden, where *everybody* who works full-time gets *at least* 5 weeks paid vacation per year.

You should come up here and check out the quality of the environment. Then we can talk about what's "green".
Don't confuse my wife with your waifu, anonfag.
It would help relations considerably if they were better about not letting their subs get spotted nosing around Stockholm Harbour.
Bzzzzzzzzzt--WRONG.
Sweden is most definitely NOT a member of NATO. It is, however, an EU member state:

I met my wife when she answered the door at the student hall where I was seeking to sub-let a room. But I rode the bus to get there.
I don't see you submitting any "proper" tech stories...
We don't export oil--that'd be the Norwegians. We do export refined petroleum products, but the oil comes from elsewhere.
But that doesn't fear-monger nearly as well, does it?
It's not an "either-or" proposition. Sweden has eschewed alliances--and war--for better than 200 years.
People there are buying cars based on carbon output, not how much bigger your dick is going to get.
A lot of us don't even bother owning a car. We have this thing called "mass transit"...
Note the habitual misspelling of "lesser".

You don't actually fly anywhere, do you.
False analogy. You're contracting the services of the pizza joint on a per-product and not per-unit-time basis.
Good to see you posting again. And thanks for posting a cogent response to my feeble attempt at a funny.
This one works pretty well, too... or so I've heard...
Imagine if insulting the president was against the law, similar to the lese majeste law in Thailand...
Thanks, I'd rather not.
And I think I'd prefer if you didn't go giving anyone any ideas, either.
Oh, they're trying to do the right thing, all right...
If the Enron mob had been under PRC jurisdiction, they'd have been shot, too. Just something to think about.
In *2006*, I was able to ring my mother in the US using my mobile from the beach on Koh Lanta Yai, half a world away.
Which decade did you say you were from?
Please don't insult our intelligence by comparing today's elephant posse with the party of Lincoln.
It appears that residents of Malmö aren't required to keep a stick firmly implanted up their backsides, unlike Stockholmers, yes.
