> When $25b of wealth is being created Woah there. I think this is the fundamental issue. $25b of wealth hasn't been created. It's not free money. It's a scam.

No, we shouldn't bother trying to plug those leaks. Current situation: * You request website A, which includes 3rd party code from C. C drops a cookie * You request website B, which includes 3rd party code from C. C knows you pre

Good. This recent war against cookies is futile and silly. If you visit a website (Assuming you don't go via some anonymizer proxy), they can track you, and they can pass your details to any 3rd party who wishes to also track you. Cook

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend watching "An idiot abroad". It's a great travel show with Karl Pilkington. He goes to foreign lands and tells it how it is.

Yes I am complaining about the £280m send to India. There are a lot of other causes closer to home that would benefit greatly from it.

So you believe that the current British, should be paying money for crimes committed by their ancestors? Personally, I don't think people should pay for other peoples mistakes, even if they happen to be born in the same country.

I don't think that's true at all. I think the majority of the UK see a space program as a fairly useless endeavour - big boys playing with their toys. The UK does certainly see sending millions of pounds overseas in foreign aid, a

As stated elsewhere, foreign aid from the UK to india is £280m. But I'm glad that's such a miniscule amount to you.

Yes apologies. I copy and pasted the wrong bit from a badly written gruaniad article. The point stands though. Whether it's billions or millions, it's still a ton of money which we shouldn't be giving them in aid.

One of the bigger questions is international aid. "Since 2007 India has been the world's largest recipient of recorded remittances from abroad. In 2010 these inflows were worth $54bn (£35bn). UK foreign direct investment in India

Some people are born with good genes, intelligence, money, muscles, height, amazing good looks, etc etc Some aren't. Life is certainly not, in any way equal, and it's idiocy to pretend it is. We are all born with totally different

All lives are not created equal. That's just bs. Of course not all lives are created equal. For example if I had to pick between the lives of Einstein and Hitler, I'd pick Einstein.

Point is they're two separate groups of people. From the majority of people from 1st world countries, it is more valuable. I'm never going to meet anyone who has had malaria, or even anyone who knows someone who has had maleria. I

Death is a natural, and essential part of evolution, and is crucial for the survival of the species. If you could magically save everyone from dying tomorrow, then well done! You've just killed everyone from overcrowding.

Those things are also about increasing our problems down the line IMHO The world population has doubled in the last 30 years. Doesn't that scare anyone else? Sure, you could save a few million poorly educated people from dying. Then

It's not that simple though. There's quite a few people who are not at risk of ever getting malaria, but who don't have any decent internet access. So for them, curing malaria will make 0 difference to their life. Also, since

I think you should probably update your stats. Auto deaths are almost half what they were in the 60s in the US, despite more cars and more miles driven. And that figure is coming down by a pretty good percentage each year. http://
