Wouldn't "group A" be the largest minority group? Majority implies over 50% to me. However, the reason that 30% might be considered the majority is due to the population of the rural section of society.
Well, your fair weather friend isn't necessarily against you in bad times. Just not supportive when you're in a sea of troubles. (Unless you subscribe to the "you're either with me of against me" philosophy.)
The difference between the NHL and the English Premier League is: one is struggling to catch the attention of its target market (US) while the other is not and seeks to control its target market's access completely.
China relies heavily on the world. When China tried to not rely on the world it was poor and becoming poorer for it. (Also, China is set to become a net importer of food soon, I believe. It already is dependent on the world for energy.) China is heavily addicted to the US as well.
You assume China won't be exporting its culture in a couple decades? I think it already has been actively exporting it more and more. I'm certainly seeing more Chinese films (as an example) being shown here year after year. Hell, they're opening "Confucius Institutes" all over the globe.
I see China being in a similar position where segments of another society point to it as a source of their woes. However rightfully or wrongfully. (Happens in the West right now.)
Canada has high levels of obesity. Children are especially blubbery. If they are forced to watch more Canadian content, and can't get around it on the internet and the like, perhaps they'll decide to get out more and exercise.
I used to feel people who lost their grip on their remotes were stupid. Or naturally clumsy. Or speading FUD or looking for lawsuit material.
Until it happened to me whilst playing tennis. My hand was extremely sweaty during one very long rally. All it took was one backhand too many in this sweaty situation and -VOOP- goes the wiimote. The strap did break, and I don't think that offending swing was particularly vigorous. Nothing was broken, and, fortunately, I can tie knots.
I think it's just poor design. What's the average tensile strength of that string? Inserting and removing it from the plastic clip on the nunchuk could easily fray the string. They could have used an aramid fibre like Kevlar. Or a rubber (or ridged) surface for the wiimote itself, for grip.
Yeah, the BBC does have its leanings. For instance, it seems to be unabashedly pro-EU in many respects. For instance, I get the feeling from reading the articles that they are all for Turkey joining. Certainly they do report opposing views, but the language leans in favour. (Also, if you look at their country profiles section, Turkey appears to be listed as a European nation, in their sliced up view of the world. Considering only a small percentage is actually in Europe [just that lovely city, Byzantium] and most is considered in Asia, it seems a little suspect.]
Compare that to the general populous of the UK and their opinions on all things EU, then the ~30% trust of the Beeb makes sense.

I don't think it's very hard to fake emotion shown by the eyes *or* mouth.

And the reason you put Australia on the list but left off Canada? Assuming it would be absorbed into the US?
Only Istanbul (Constantinople, Byzantium) is technically in continental Europe. The rest is in Asia.

You, sir, made a funny.
Keep that debt growing!
