And you just showed your ignorance in a marvelous combo.

It's a misconception that people thought the world was flat - we have known it to be round since the ancient greeks.

And predictions coming true? Well you are sort of correct, they aren't exactly coming true as actual events tend to happen a whole lot quicker and worse than IPCC predicts.

Lately PHK has become more and more derailed. If you ever follow him on his local Danish blogs, he has gone totally off the rail - claiming all sorts of weird things, from major conspiracies to some far fetched claims against the EU.

There are 9 regions for DVDs, there are probably at least 5-10.000 network operators world wide and you need a profile for whatever operator you want to use.

For countries with bad coverage (like the US), you are going to have multiple profiles and sim cards for a TV to ensure coverage (and even then, you are going to have a bad time).

In Denmark, Mobile Pay is a massive success, users can transfer money to each other, split bill etc.

The value added as a consumer using Mobile Pay, rather than CC, is the fact that we can instantly settle our "debt". No more "I bought round number 4, so I'm not up for another now", someone goes and pays with their CC (or using mobile pay in the places that accept that) and can instantly deal with the bill among their peers.

Almost 25% of the population has adapted this solution in less than a year.

At what point did I blame society for the problem?

What I said was society needs to understand the problem and help the people who are in trouble, iff we wan't to fix this issue. Huge difference...

Also, you are really really ignorant, if you think it's a matter of impulse control. Sugar is extremely addictive - think Heroin like cravings. Those of us who grew up with lots of candy are battling an inner demon like you wouldn't believe; and having ignorant people like you telling us to just grow up is again a detrimental to the effort.

As long as you and the rest of society doesn't understand the problem, we as a society can't fix it.

Also, as I wrote, I've dropped 30kg, don't fucking tell me what impulse control is about, you have no idea what hell I've been through.

So yeah, fuck you, but thanks for playing.
