    The only thing that differentiate America from the rest of the world is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

    Not really. When not taken seriously, any constitution is merely a scrap of paper.

    Do read the 1936 Soviet constitution (AKA Stalin constitution) sometimes. It is a very progressive and democratic doument. One of the most democratic ever in fact.

    I made 2000 km this year with a full suspension MTB (and another 1500 on a hardtail). It is not that bad if you've got a platform rear suspension (Manitou SPV, Fox ProPedal, you name it) and slick tyres. So no, it is not anywhere as bad as you describe it.

    You won't get a suspended sentence on just being on the edge of legal and illegal. He had two of them. Suspended sentences are seen as more serious in Germany because most people who aren't considered dangerous will get a suspended sentence if their sentence is under two years prison time.

    Depends on your definition of wrong.

    He made money of phreaking and warez and then switched sides and helped the police and lawyers to bait warez traders.

    Later there was investor fraud and insider trading. For that alone he'd have prison time, but German courts can be very illogical.

    He is a crook and a notorious liar.

  12. Re:Why be happy? on Researchers Crown Buddhist Monk the World's Happiest Man · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, every human being that is inherently entirely selfish is utterly insane because people, as social creatures, are normally hardwired for being selfless at least to a point.

    What you write is basically reiterating an old joke about a driver who listens to the radio announce: "attention, there is a wrong way driver on the highway" and mutters: "a wrong way driver? more like hundreds of them".

  13. Re:Explain on Scientists Move Closer To a Universal Flu Vaccine · · Score: 1

    It actually can, if the manufacturer screws up. That's why many EU countries stopped two flu vaccines manufactured by Novartis (some stopped all three). There is also the BCG screwup in 1930 with 72 infants dead. Some vaccines are somewhat dangerous (yellow fever, rotavirus, rabies). And I write that as someone who has got most of the shots you need in Europe (MMR, polio, diphteria, tetanus, hepatitis A+B, TBE, BCG, flu).

    What does it have to do with the death penalty?

    Good that you have asked. Here is the article 2 of the EU charta of human rights:

    Art 2. Right to Life
    1. Everyone has the right to life.
    2. No one shall be condemned to the death penalty, or executed.

    I guess your question is answered now.

    Other rights like freedom of speech, freedom from involuntary servitude and confinement, and freedom of assembly are denied when a person is convicted of a crime.

    True, but according to the EU charta and the laws of the member states some rights cannot be denied even in under such circumstances.

    Having a right to life doesn't have anything to do with the death penalty.

    I guess the people who have drafted the EU charta of human rights, and, for example, the German constitution, disagree with you.

    Interesting signature. Did you know fetuses feel pain?

    So do some plants. Besides, you fail reading comprehension. My signature only describes a negative condition.

    20 millions is a cold war propaganda figure. Between 20 millions there, 20 millions of losses in WW2 and another 60 millions murdered by Stalin personally, there would be just 20 millions left by the end of 1940ies.

    Well, different countries - different priorities. In the EU, for example, there exists a right to life, in the USA there is no such thing (otherwise death penalty would not be possible).
