  4. Re:Democracy restored on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The members of the european commission are chosen by the national governments and the european commission as a whole is then either accepted or rejected by the european parliament. Every proposal they do, must then be accepted by the european parliament. The members of european parliament are selected by voting on a certain party on a national level. Those national parties can, and probably will, have alliances with similar parties from other countries. While it is not ideal, it certainly is democratic.

    Ok, you have identified some issues on which you agree with him that they are a problem. Nice. But that is only the first step. Now the important questions, do you approve of his solution and do you think your candidate can manage implementing those solutions. My problem Trump and his ilk is that they either fail to provide a solution or it is completely bonkers.

  6. I love GOG and would gladly buy all my games there.
    My biggest complaint however, is that there are multiple games there without Linux support, where the steam version /has/ Linux support.

    A missed opportunity.

    Well, technically, it's the Kingdom of the Netherlands. True, though you won't hear any dutch using that out loud unless it's for an official ceremony.

    What if you actually reside in North or South Holland, two of the twelve provinces which still hold 37% of the population? Then you still wouldn't call the country "Holland" ;).

    Both terms "Holland" and "Dutch" originated in the Netherlands, so ... Though both terms originated from the Netherlands, the point was that the English language is inconsistant (Using "dutch"
    for the people, and "The Netherlands" for the country) not the dutch (which was what the OP insinuated).

    Its you silly English people who name us "the dutch", and our country either "The Netherlands" or even worse "Holland".
