By the way, this group-is-everything mentality that you disparage (perhaps because you take such a culture for granted) is exactly the reason why Scandinavian countries rank among the highest in the world in terms of standard of living, literacy, overall happiness, quality of life, etc.

Great, lets start deporting the useless members of our society to those Scandinavian countries and those of us who have useful skills and the motivation to work can have a drastically improved quality of life.

No, it was socialism yet again proving that you cannot overspend and tax your way to prosperity. It's happened time after time and people like you still insist that it's a matter of not overspending / taxing enough.

They tried this with encryption methods and the result was to simply print it out and publish it as a book, then it became an irrefutable 1st Amendment issue. Idiot politicians never learn.

You're hilarious, kid. Maybe you should put your creative writing skills to work as an author of some sort?

Christ, try being original with your trolling. It's been repeatedly proven that the "harassment" has been the professional victims using alternate accounts to send themselves messages - and it's also why none of these supposed "threats" have ever been reported to the police.

Because when the horribly unethical behavior of gaming "journalists" was exposed, they realized that they could get all other mass media to side with them if they made up some bullshit about it being a "feminist" issue with the evil male gamers oppressing women.

The Greek people didn't take out the loans

No, but they voted for the bad policies that resulted in having to take out loans.

At least Elon Musk has done some original things, as opposed to Steve Jobs who just took someone else's idea, gave it a spit-shine, then sold it for three times as much.

So he has two children to support - the toddler and his wife. Yeah, I'm sure that'll work out wonderfully for the relationship.

First, do you really think the necessities of being a stay at home mom differ that much between first world (if Spain can still be called that) countries? Second, I think it's been a long time since you had kids - most toddlers these days are plopped in front of a TV / iPad while mommy goes on Facebook.

The fact that men don't even get the option of "sit on my ass and force my spouse to pay for everything".

She's acting like a child by expecting him to pay for her while she refuses to get a job. If the genders were reversed, you'd be telling "her" to divorced "his" lazy ass for refusing to get a job.

Last time I looked, women had sole control over if a baby is born (abortion, adoption, or keep it). How is a woman's choice a man's responsibility? Can you imagine the literal riots we'd see if men got sole legal rights to make a decision and leave a woman stuck holding the bill for it?

Ah yes, and I'm sure you think a law forcing everyone onto insanely-high deductible plans (thus ensuring that you'll almost always pay everything out of pocket) is "affordable".

I hate to break it to you, but that's not - nor has it ever been - how Social Security works. It's not a "fund" you pay into and collect from, it's literally straight up wealth redistribution from those who work to those who don't work.
