    Trump will be on the ballot in Novosibirsk? Why am I not surprised?

    Other than the fact that Hillary can be considered "leftist" only when that term is taken to mean, "only slightly to the right of Barry Goldwater", you're spot on.

    Bom dia! How about you figure out how to fix your own broken government before offering advice on how to transform the US into a banana republic--which is exactly what you're doing--thanks!

    I too work daily with an international crew. And you know what the weirdest thing is? Almost every one of them thinks Trump is utterly dangerous to the US and the rest of the world and doesn't understand how he got to where he is when there were a half dozen actually qualified Republicans running.

    Sorry. Guess there's an echo in here today. ;-)

    The non-echo part: My Russian colleagues don't seem to like Putin much, either, but they are very cagey about it when it comes to saying so online--even the ones who don't actually live in Russia. They're much less reticent about it in person. Gee, I wonder why.

    Maybe what they should do is just allow a few million Russian migrants to ease tensions.

    You're behind the times. If my Swedish neighbours spoke Russian, they'd be shocked how useful that could be to them, right here on the streets of Stockholm...

    Nice. But you seem to have left out the bits where Putin decided to have a go at re-integrating the USSR/Russian Empire instead.

    And while I've seen RWNJs accuse Clinton of lots of things, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone accuse him of being a child molester.

    Hi, American and long-time European resident here.

    If YOU are asserting that a critic of "trans-people" is bad and probably a latent homosexual, then you are BY DEFINITION asserting that you also believe homosexuality to be a bad thing.

    Non sequitur.

    Barbara is alluding to the fact that folks who are suppressing something as fundamental as their sexuality tend to act out on it in other ways--generally, by attacking anyone displaying the trait they're denying in themselves.

    When supply is constricted, prices should go up so the rides go to those who need them most.

    You assume that those with the greatest need also have the most resources? I'll let you explain how that's supposed to work.

    I think I realised that the world had really changed about 10 years ago when I was vacationing in the south of Thailand. Standing on the beach on Koh Lanta at sunrise, I used my mobile to ring my mom back in the States and let her know that I was fine and hadn't even been in Bangkok during the previous day's coup d'état.

    It was my first mobile phone, and I'd only bought it about 2 months earlier. One of the early Samusung flip-phones. I still have it, and it still works just fine for voice, SMS, and very primitive (text-only) web browsing.
