But from what you say, you have free firefighting, it's just that it isn't enough. It's a very different thing.
I also know that Angola, and Cabo Verde for instance has it (the ones I checked).
The issue her is not lack of resources, the issue is having it and then, just because you didn't pay a fee, the fireman guys come and wait there while your house to burn to the ground.
No, not really, even 3rd world countries have universal fire coverage (it's even strange to write "universal fire coverage"... never though some country could be so backwards not to have it since the middle ages, so never tough about writing it).
What is strange about you Americans is that you mind paying taxes if it's for paying your own access to healthcare and your fellow compatriots, looking at this example you even mind paying taxes to prevent your and your fellow countryman to have a fire at his house put down. But strangely, very strangely, you seem all very happy to pay taxes to buy tanks, ships, bombs, helicopters and a very big assortment of guns to kill people all over the world. Funny eh?
Even 3rd world African countries have free fire protection.
In fact, as far has I know, the last state that asked a fee for fire protection was Rome. I think that says a lot about USA. Even more when I see so many comments here in Slashdot supporting the fire department action.
Then again, the total crime rates don't say anything. In my country driving past a certain speed in the highway it's a crime, in some it's not. And mate, even if we are talking about stealing, I'm pretty glad we are ahead USA in that one. At least in here they just take your bag when you are looking away, in USA looking at the stats, they shoot you first.
4) The Other OS was only taken down AFTER someone started bragging about the ability to copy $60 PS3 games and play them. Until then, people could play emulators, PS1 games, PS2 games, n64, etc. Only 5-6 assholes who are too cheap to afford new games but feel deserving of free stuff ruined it for the rest of us. Or did you want Sony to let this turn out like the PSP, which is so hacked that almost no new games get released for it? They tried to open their system, and they got slapped for it.
Wrong. You clearly don't know why the other OS feature was part of the original PS3. That feature was there because in EU there was a tax reduction to a product that allowed users to program it. Sony made the same bullshit with the PS2 and some kind of shitty BASIC language. Now that law doesn't exist anymore, so Sony, having no monetary incentive to keep it, removed it. They never did it out of love for a open platform.

Any scientific book that is set on explaining an Universe created by God, doesn't deserve to be called a scientific book. I'll pass on this one and read Hawking's newest.
I call BS on that one. The guy who made that claim also makes a number of other absurd claims
First, the "guy" that made those claims is a Portuguese lawyer, and the first person in a high position in local administration in here that made a public denounce of corruption that was proved (yes, it happens that seldom in here), so just for that, the guy deserves some credit. Also, I never saw him making any comments about princess Diana or Kennedy. You are clearly mistaken the person.
But, sharing the same country of origin as yourself, I know full well that Europeans love conspiracy theories even more than Americans.
Second, I didn't claim any proof to the theory. The grandparent was trying to imply that someone that previously pissed off CIA never ended up in a ditch (or literally in and airplane crash shortly thereafter), and what I answered is that, yes, he did end up killed shortly after pissing of some one in an high ranked office in USA. It might be coincidence or not. But IT DID HAPPEN and that was what was being denied by the grandparent.
I got one, for my country. The death of the Prime Minister of Portugal, Sá Carneiro by accident in order to assassinate the minister of defense Adelino Amaro da Costa that had received information from the middle east regarding arms deal between USA and Iraq in order to support Iran in exchange for the liberation of the American hostages that where being held in Teheran embassy. Taking into account that USA was actively supporting Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war, that fact would be a major blow to the relations and would end up the billion dollars worth arms deals USA had to sell arms to Iraq.
Those arms where passing in the port in Lisbon and it came to the attention of the defense minister.
The source indicates that CIA assassinated the defense minister, together with the prime minister (that one by accident, since he was not supposed to go on that plane), carried out the arms deal with Iran and in exchange, just 1 month after the plane crash, the USA hostages where liberated by Iran.
No, there are no proofs that this was indeed a CIA black op. But you asked for cases where "people have pissed off the CIA and had tragic airplane accidents shortly thereafter", and I'm giving a very big one to you. And I'm sure there should be more, I just used this one because it happen right in my country.
Strange part in all this is that, the prosecutors are all WOMAN ! The guys are being screwed in Sweden and every time they step out of the straight line, a girl can just come and charge them of rape and being all the judicial hierarchy composed of woman, they will most probably get screwed.
Assange insisted on sex without a condom against the lady's wishes
So what's the problem? He didn't deny her the choice to not have sex. I mean, seems perfectly reasonable to tell a girl, either we do it without condom or we don't do it. Stop being feminist idiots, when in the situation comes you never have the brains to take a decision by yourself and say no, but then next day you go and complain to the police. That sickens me.
And also let me tell you that we guys can in a normal state be quite more kinky than a girl. But when a girl gets really excited, they are much worst than guys.
on weather or not knew the condom broke during intercourse and if it was intentional or not.
Let me tell you it happen to me before on accident while I was with some girls and it was not something evident (you know, you don't take it out every 5 seconds to look at it to examine if it's all ok). And that Assanse would need some very special skills to break a condom while inside a woman just because he wanted to. Perhaps he has magic tricks... the bastard.
Well - yeah. He had a choice. He could have distanced his work with Wikileaks from his personal life. But I don't think that's what Assange is about.
That would be nice and all, not being the fact that every thought in the brain of someone that doesn't just buys everything he sees in TV, points to the fact that he his being screwed in his personal life because of his work with Wikileaks.
Has they did in Iran. Most Americans don't know, but the fact that Iran has this shitty regimen now is that USA and UK overthrown an democratic elected secular government in 1953 because the prime minister of Iran at the time nationalized the oil industry of the country.
They can change their mind before they have sex, not after. Otherwise you would wake up the next morning, decide you didn't like the guy that much and charge him of rape even though before the night before you have sex with him willingly. That's just retarded and it's feminism. And feminism is just has bad, if not worst than machismo... after all, there are no laws in democratic western countries that defend machismo... but there are plenty around that defend feminism... it's just ridiculous.
The study says they cannot factor for the fact that drinking is expensive so the lower classes drink less and they can die first because of the lower quality of life.
Well, do it in southern Europe; Portugal, Spain, Italy and to a certain degree France all have very good wines for a very low price. For comparison, I can tell you that a € 3 Euro bottle in here is already a quite good red wine. And besides, since people have free universal healthcare, the income factor doesn't count anyway. So they could be certain if what they are saying is true or not. Although of course, even the doctors here recomend taking 2 glasses of red wine a day, so I believe they already know it actually helps your health.
I'ts generally accepted that most of the 1st world countries actually don't need that. USA, Russia, Israel, China, etc, all have the means to decrypt those communications in real time and that's why they never needed to demand access from RIM.
All of your quoted material supports exactly what I've already said, and supports none of your own. In short, you've just shot yourself in the foot.
Of course, that's why you need foreigners to fill those positions. A more realistic way to see those numbers is: You have the money, the others provide the brains.
Yeah sure, you are allowed to "fool yourself" with whatever you want. Then again, we have this cool thing called statistics. And statistics prove at least, that you are less inteligent than other countries.
# 55% of Ph.D. students in engineering in the United States are foreign born (2004).[1]
# Between 1980 and 2000, the percentage of Ph.D. scientists and engineers employed in the United States who were born abroad has increased from 24% to 37%.[1]
# 45% of Ph.D. physicists working in the United States are foreign born (2004).[1]
# 80% of total post-doctoral chemical and materials engineering in the United States are foreign-born (1988).[2]
So mate, if you are that smart as you claim, and if you got "the best" educational institutions in the world, then why is that in average more than 50% of your scientists are foreign born?
Well, if you ride bicycle more, not only would you reduce the gas consumption by not riding a car, but you would also loose weight and spend less fuel when you actually needed to ride the car. Perhaps you could start doing that a bit. I remember Washington and NY where quite flat cities from when I was there, so it wouldn't be difficult.
Believe me... you can think what you want, but I read the sentence I was answering to "social-democracy only works in northern Europe because they don't have immigration" a LOT. And by a lot I mean EVERY TIME I say that, SOME AMERICAN states the same: "that's because they don't have immigration" although in fact Northen European countries normally have MORE immigration than USA. So yes, since I ALWAYS get that answer coming from an AMERICAN... and I stress the word, ALWAYS! Then yes, I guess I'm allowed to state that they are stupid in general.
or the name of people in Gaza providing intel to Israel if Assange would be as keen to publish.
Why, did Assange published the name of the people in Afghanistan giving intel to USA? Give me some names then please.
You are so biased by the media that you still didn't understand that the informant names where removed from the Afghanistan leaks. Don't believe it? Then names, tell us some names. I can give you an hint tough... you will only find 3.
Also perhaps, it didn't cross your mind that what you wanted to be posted about Russia, wasn't posted by Wikileaks because they couldn't get their hands on it yet? Yeah... talk about victimization here.

The whole thing reeks of 3rd world policy.

Those crazy libertarians you snicker at don't massacre their own people or need to build a wall to keep their citizens from escaping.
Yeah, like those poor, Swedish, Finnish, Dutch, Danish ... Oh the humanity.

Oh, I think the parent was talking about homicides. Where you Americans are comfortably in front of UK with almost 3 times more homicide rates.
