Doesn't change the fact those people are using western constructs; again *Your Esperanto is a Latinate Language* It's totally western.

How many eastern languages do you speak? zero, I'll bet. Your only frame of reference is western languages.

Funny how I hear these tired worn arguments from people who can speak Esperanto. You have an obscure fringe hobby, there are more people who have used pig-latin in their childhood than who will ever speak Esperanto.

wrong, China is a Sino-Tibetan language. That language group has more first-language speakers than Indo-European, Sino-Tebetan languages includes by the way northeast India (shame on you for assuming all Indians speak an Indo-European langauge)

Arabic is member of the Semitic language family.

that's just silly. Esperanto is a Latinate language, and thus suitable solely for western thought and concepts. We already have a logical, consistent Latinate language that isn't an artificial construct and in fact has over a million speakers, as opposed to Esperanto's few thousand (inflated lies to the contrary): Latin! Might as well waste one's time learning Klingon.

That in no way is a valid argument against secession. A seceding entity need not care what the Supreme Court's opinion is. Since our federal government is already committing far more grievous transgressions against the life, liberty and security of the people than England did in the 18th century, a similar declaration of independence is of course justified.

Comment in the west, it's time to shun college (Score -1, Offtopic) 135

The foundation of the economies of most the world are continuing to collapse, the spending of the common man that drives it continues to decrease. Never mind the central banks efforts to pump the markets with their injections, the ability to generate real wealth is being destroyed. Already young college degree holders are already either unemployed or waiting tables. If your college won't be 80% or more paid for, take your money and buy tangible goods that will hold their value as everything paper based collapses. Spend your time learning a skill that will be worth something in a depression.

Submission + - "Stairscraper" Gives Highrise-Dwellers Back Yards (gizmag.com)

Zothecula writes: One of the big drawbacks for high-rise living is the lack of outdoor space, which in the best case is usually limited to a small balcony, or in the worst cases a window flowerbox ... or nothing at all. An innovative skyscraper design by Barcelona-based firm Nabito Architects solves this problem with a corkscrew design that makes the roof of the unit below an outdoor space for the unit above.
