    According to the German laws, a taxi is for-profit passenger transportation which is not line operation, not an tourism ride and not a rental car/bus ride.

    You of all people call others uneducated and not realising how stupid they are? Oh the irony - many people, me included, have pointed out the utter wrongness in your answers often enough. Being that dense is quite an achievement.

    Merkins like you invent yourself an enemy and then go bomb them because your culture is generally very violent, not because of some noble reasons. And don't shift the blame to others. In the past 50 years USA has started more wars than anyone else by a huge margin and also has killed more people than anyone else. But apparently for the likes of you brown people don't count even though, for example, you have killed more Iraqis, than Saddam Hussein has. Congratulations, you are worse than a bloody dictator.

    Because it is defense budget, not offense budget, but all you do is to attack countries left and right because you apparently enjoy killing people.

    No, history clearly shows it was the Progressives and their fellow-travelers in the US.

    Progressives like Henry Ford?

    IBM did business with Germany along with others, but "funded Hitler" as in supplying him with large amounts of cash donations as you imply? Fantasy.

    That only shows your lack of historical knowledge. Hitler was funded by Thyssen, Borsig, Krupp and several other German industrialists yearning for "good old times". There was also support from abroad, like donations from Vickers-Armstrong (UK) and Comitee des Forges (France).

    I am German, I know our history very well and all of this is even highschool-level stuff that doesn't go very deep. If you do go deeper, it gets far worse.

    The SPD and KPD were socialist and communist political parties respectively, from the former Wiemar Republic.

    Weimar, not Wiemar. Why do you Americans have such a large problem with the "ei" diphthong?
    And of course they were progressives. A progressive is someone who wants to change things for the better. All socialists are progressive. Ther opposite are reactionaries, who want to either keep the status quo or revert to what they consider "good old times".

    They had nothing to do with the US Progressive movement. Unless you're saying US Progressives are actually socialists and communists, which does have more than a grain of truth to it.

    Some US progressives are indeed socialists or communists. Never heard of CPUSA? Your Democratic party are kinda sorta social democrats of a very tame variety.

    That *I* have no idea of!? You spout other people's history-rewriting talking points without any citations and without thinking for yourself.

    No idea indeed. Now go and educate yourself first before you call others childish.

  6. Re:No surprised in good ole Mass... on Massachusetts Examining Disability Access For Uber, Lyft · · Score: 1

    It was the reactionaries like you who cheered for the Nazis and it was the big business who funded Hitler because of his anticommunist platform. And the first thing Hitler did after he rose to power, was to arrest all progressives (SPD and KPD members).

    You should stay with playing guitar and not talking about things you apparently have no idea of.

    EU nations unfortunately support USA in the horrific things they do and I am not happy at all about it. Unfortunately, our leaders think that the whims of American presidents are more important than their own population.

    There actually is not much central planning going on except for a few state owned enterprises and, in fact, modern Russia has far more in common with tsarist Russia than with USSR. As for the eastern European nations, I think that Putin is trying to scare them for fun and as a revenge for them trying to piss off Russia for 20 years straight.

    Then again you don't need that much highly enriched uranium for a thermonuclear weapon and 20% enriched uranium used in a commercial reactor has the advantage of not needing refueling for years. It is how submarine reactors work, for example.

  13. Re:single global language on New Unicode Bug Discovered For Common Japanese Character "No" · · Score: 1

    Actually, English isn't very good for factual information either. It has too many homonyms, a very inconsistent spelling, too ambiguous sentences even with the very strict word order English has to use, no single language authority and too many standard variations.

    Other Germanic languages are much more precise, as are Slavic languages. Due to the more complicated grammar and being synthetic instead of analytic, the meaning of a sentence is clear even if words in the sentence are shifted around, the spelling is usually also phonemic (you write words as you hear them - regular spelling).
