And that’s why I don’t like cricket.

I appreciated this comment, that’s a great show and tell story.

So that healthcare and education, among other things, are more equitable. Taxes are for subsidising a public good.

Read the other comments please.

Thanks for this :)

I agree with your last point - and I may be a bit bourgeois (not to mention ignorant) myself. I’d appreciate recommendations if you wouldn’t mind.

Reverse irredentism! Now what about historically German lands? From the Maas to the Memel…

Great comment. Refreshing to see some intelligence here from time to time, like the nice sour bready tang of kvass!

It’s come and gone throughout the millennia, like certain pieces of knowledge. Eratosthenes very accurately calculated the circumference of the world in Ptolemaic Egypt and later on people thought the Earth was flat (and some morons still do). As for capitalism, look at prehistoric societies using shells as currency. What is that currency for?

Fair point, I accept that. A bit like how democracy is the worst form of government apart from those other ones we tried.

You sound like one of those people who said they’d move to Canada when Trump got elected the first time, and didn’t.

Indeed, I’ve been here a while and I understand the rules. Sometimes hostility can undermine one’s argument however.

It’s not “Capitalism”, it’s governments not doing their job in regulating capitalist practices, and instead embracing neoliberal economics. I don’t accept that all ownership is theft. Trade in goods and services benefits both parties. I am so sick of people using this shorthand word “capitalism” to describe what’s going on here. We’ve had capitalism for millennia, and it’s brought us longer, healthier and happier lives, and reduced warfare. It’s Thatcherite/Reaganomic practices by governments that are the problem, not the system of ownership of capital.

“What’s wrong with me, Doc?” “Well, you look like a fag, and your shit’s all retarded.”

The front fell off, so just tow it outside the environment

Thorium molten salt reactor

Let’s talk about the technology instead of the dumb word “nuclear”. Thorium fission > uranium fission.

It’s becoming that way, but it’s still definitely closer to British English.

You think it’s the best thing anyone ever said because you said it to him, dumbarse.

Good metaphor. I think the downvotes are because your language is abrasive, but I believe it’s because you’re passionate about this and English may not be your first language (hard to tell due to your native-level fluency though). Keep it up
