So, in a nutshell, the difference according to you is that the Korean jet was shot down by the evil commies and the Iranian jet was shot down by the American heroes.
Those of us in the West are hypocrites. Has USA ever admitted, that shooting down the Iranian airbus was a mistake? Nope. The official statement was that all compensation was ex gratia and Iran is to blame.
You have not a single proof that the actual people burned in the building murdered somebody. And yet you are cheering for murderers. You are one of the worst kind of people.
The payment of compensation was explicitly characterized by the US as being on an ex gratia basis, and the U.S. denied having any responsibility or liability for what happened.
or that priceless quote of Shrub the senior:
I will never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are!
Thirst they claimed that there were no missiles fired that day in first place. Except that it was a complete lie, Ukrainian troops in Crimea were firing anti-aircraft missiles at some target drones that day.
Don't forget the first official reaction of their then-president: "We should not make a tragedy out of matters if it was a mistake. Bigger mistakes have been made."
So. No kids (that I know of). No car either - cycling 15 miles one way to work. My yearly electricity usage is about what an average US home uses - per month.
I also know small bookshops. They are either on main railway stations and sell crappy bestsellers or - if they are located elsewhere - they sell more hipster apparel than books nowadays.
very much so. and not only that, the hybrids are also fertile. same for endler's livebearers and guppies and sailfin x yucatan mollies. molly and guppy can also interbreed, although it doesn't happen that readily and the offspring is sterile.
THTR was not experimental, it was a commercial power plant. Even "proven" commercial power plants had their share of problems. And even today they are too expensive. Look what happens in Finland where they are trying to build a simple PWR for years and failing again and again.
First, nuclear never has produced the majority of electrical power in Germany so it most certainly wasn't the "source upon which they built the predominant economy". In fact, it was coal that did the job. Ruhr area's coal and steel industry fueled the German economic miracle.
Second, it was too expensive and too problematic. You really should look up what a massive failure THTR was (and AVR before that). Reprocessing also was way too expensive.
The difference between you - apparently an armchair atomic playboy - and the German anti nuclear activists is that the German ones actually know what they are talking about. Take Klaus Traube. He used to be a leading engineer and then CEO of the German AEG and US General Dynamics atomic energy division. He has been anti nuclear energy many years.
Germany had commercial nuclear power since the sixties. There is still no permanent waste repository here. Besides, Germany has invested a lot of money in nuclear power in the 80ies. It didn't work out. Thorium pebble bed reactors were a massive failure.
Besides, the German population doesn't want nuclear power. Here is a pretty good explanation, why: http://www.worldpolicy.org/blo...

Yep. I am convinced.
Those of us in the West are hypocrites. Has USA ever admitted, that shooting down the Iranian airbus was a mistake? Nope. The official statement was that all compensation was ex gratia and Iran is to blame.
You have not a single proof that the actual people burned in the building murdered somebody. And yet you are cheering for murderers. You are one of the worst kind of people.
ORLY?

So you are really cheering for murderers? What exactly makes you better then?
Thirst they claimed that there were no missiles fired that day in first place. Except that it was a complete lie, Ukrainian troops in Crimea were firing anti-aircraft missiles at some target drones that day.
Don't forget the first official reaction of their then-president: "We should not make a tragedy out of matters if it was a mistake. Bigger mistakes have been made."
I don't trust Ukrainian armed forces in this matter. They have a history of shooting down civilian airplanes and then denying everything.
ORLY?
Well, O'Bama is irish, so he probably thinks he can get away with it.
So.

May I cast the first stone? Pretty please?

To be honest, many Europeans feel the same way: UK should get out of EU. The sooner, the better.
platys and swordtails are different species and they interbreed without any hassle.
Because this kind of games is completely abstract.
Some kids actually manage to build something out of their ideas.
Look up "brakeforce one".

Sorry, but this is bullshit.

No, you are not. If you will speed up then you'll break the speed limit.
that is true
Oh, but I am pretty sure there are plans for invading Russia. In fact, USA has sort of tried to invade Russia once, about a century ago.
Well, sort of.

I am letting you know thus.
I know, that is why I have written "naturally aspirated" ;-)
