Saddam Hussein did quite a bit more then just “challenge the bully”… I suppose genocide of the Kurds is acceptable on the internet as long as your suitably anti-American while you do it. Those darn American imperialists!

Well that’s just not true. And a webpage of “European Alternatives” that 99.99% of Europeans have never heard of, much less come even remotely close to adopting, means nothing.

Does America “represent the world”? No. Does America represent the national security strategy of essentially all of Europe, most non-Chinese nations in Asia, and much of South America? Absolutely, and to pretend otherwise is to be dreaming.

What makes leftist parties unviable is the majority of the population disapproving of socialism. People online vastly overestimate the actual effect of money on political results, naturally disregarding all the donations made to candidates

Well, the notices were over a year. Amazon has massive weekly turnover numbers so the real number of employees over that full year is likely well in excess of 5,000, putting it at least at 1.something per. Then consider it’s almost certain

The real question is, are there any examples of companies achieving what Amazon is achieving at its scale, *without* employing these techniques? And if so what are they doing differently?

I was going to say hopefully EU regulators back off some of the insane Taxi regulations that require you to have 100,000€ or more to…drive people around

Well, no. You certainly could be someone who *could* pay it off but chooses not to for a variety of reasons. Many otherwise financially people I know carry some credit card debt. Now is that a large portion of people? I have no clue, and my

I feel like you glossed over a lot here though. Reading? Yes, the intricacies of clause structure? No, no one uses that besides a few people. Science? Almost no one I know uses chemistry or biology. I don’t even remember how to balance a c

Why does this argument not apply to any subject that a number of students find challenging? If the education system were based on this kind of thinking we would basically have no classes. I certainly have NEVER used biology at work, and

Yes, I agree and see now that I made a bad choice of words there. Correcting it I would rephrase it to say that massive components of society are directly facilitated by the government as one example: (roads -> shipped goods, travel expe

Look, I am far from pro-government interference. That being said, I personally disagree with much of your argument here. You implicitly agree to some measure when you participate in the society set up by government. There is today a very
