, and there were a few hundred million who did not protest because they believed that getting rid of a bloodthirsty dictator is a) a darn good thing to do, and b) never a clean, straightforward process.
But now both parties are vindicated: a bloodthirsty dictator in Syria is killing his own people and basically no one cares. It's called "progress".

Killing dictators is dangerous and woeful. Keeping dictators alive is enormously more so.
But in a (twisted) way you're right: no one can force you to be sympathetic with Saddam's victims.

It isn't a bad thing that emails on porn are blocked. Members, even of Parliament, could easily get stiff on them.

I used to work for an Italian producer in the lighting sector. We had almost no sales in Switzerland. The Swiss used to buy from a distributor of ours located in the south of Italy, where we sold at lower prices. Mind you, the lamps physically moved south then north again, adding more than 1500 miles in transportation.

How many more nails in the coffin of "human races do not exists" and "ethnic differences are just skin deep" nonsense statements do we need before we all demand politics stay the funk off science?

Refusing to look into Galileo's telescope has always proved dangerous and wrong, no matter how many priests shouted "looking is evil"

Sweden has (for the time being) a low percentage of people in the lowest level of society (not even close to 15%). Those, to be clear, who don't do good at school, have kids at 16 with no family income, commit crimes disproportionally more than other groups, get Obamaphones and need affirmative action to get a decent job. And is far from sources of unneeded/undesired immigration (Africa for Europe and Mexico for the US).

But these problems aren't even necessary to destroy a healthy economy. Overpopulation and imbalance in pension systems are slower, but totally able to do the job.

At 17 you can drive. If you're reckless you can do some damage, for example running a red light or writing that Mr. John Doe is a mass murderer, and that will remain searchable. I'd rather protect Mr. Doe than the young idiot. I have to admit I'd be tempted to vote for a guy who wasn't a total jerk even at 17.

It's not irrelevant. It's protected. If it were irrelevant, no law would be necessary regarding this subject and natural selection would wipe out incapable employers who are "doing it wrong" leaving only those like you in business. But if you're a very smart businessman (apologies if you're a lady) you really shouldn't mix up "irrelevant" and "protected", so either you're very lucky or you're not sincere. If a woman struggles raising five kids and her talents barely provide earnings to decently raise only one, shouldn't you question her ability to plan what she does even when she's outside of her bedroom? That's relevant.

Here in the EU there are contracts which allow for unbelievable discrimination. You can discriminate based on sex, age and marital status. Car insurance is horrendously more expensive for young unmarried males than for middle-aged housewives. Before you jump in to replace our insurance companies in the market, here's the bad news for you: it works. It's called statistics.

Have you heard about a guy called Mohamed Merah? As the Principal of a Jewish (not religious) primary school, how would you feel about being forced by law to hire a quota of Muslims as teachers?

The potential employer is testing your desire to decide the timing for his job. And he wants to be sure he's not wasting his time interviewing someone he couldn't eventually hire.

"Please, Latoya, send me a memo about yesterday's meeting before today EOB."
"No, boss, you don't need it until Friday. I'll send it tomorrow. From now ask me to do things only if and when you really need them, will you?"

I would love to be your employee Latoya for a couple of days.

Auction off the tickets at various prices based on demand (so maybe someone will start using Google Checkout), maximize income, give the surplus money to charity (unemployed developers?).
Much better than random choice of winners , much less time wasted.

Enormously better than giving the extra money people are willing to pay to scalpers. Nobody likes them, everybody does his best to make them rich.

They will die. But, from TFA: "CD47 is overexpressed on cancer cells". Cancer treatment is about destroying much more cancer cells than healthy ones.

May I add "increasingly overpopulated"?

Modders, please, don't push "Informative" when you mean "Insightful"

This is exactly the kind of comment that I would post so that they would stop using SSDs. Especially so, if I omitted any kind of reference to actual data. Not a pointless critic or trolling routine, just a request for useful info

Has the Open Source community gain anything to do with Rebellino accepting the position?
