Please, Songdo is a nice city with excellent restaurants and some great bars, but the whole smart city thing is a little over-hyped.
I was with you until you said satire.
My philosophy has alway been that I will never take heroin, not because it's bad, but because it will be better than anything I've ever experienced, and I'll no longer be able to live the life I do.
Which leads to the magical moment in your child's life when they develop cervical cancer. I know, beautiful, isn't it.
HPV isn't even a drug abuse thing. It's not even a 'depraved' sexuality thing. It's just something that's highly likely to happen to someone who wants to make sure they're compatible with the person they have children with.
Paedophiles probably should be castrated, given that their drive is biologically driven. If you kill their sex drive then they're less likely to be a threat.
It doesn't have to be selfless to be good. The person who grew your coffee beans did it out of their own selfish interest to make money to feed their family. The mailman doesn't bring you letters because he likes you, or because he believes that he personally makes society a better place. I didn't move to another country to teach because I have a firmly held belief that what I am doing improves the world. It helps those I teach, and lines a lot of peoples pockets along the way. Selfishness is a good thing, and vanity can certainly help others. Visit any Carnegie library to find that out.
Agree. A lot of the job of being president is to think about stuff, and you can literally do that anywhere.
Imagine further that the trading block cost $30 million per day and that they also hated you because you don't think that Germany is fit to run your country. Additionally imagine that they want to directly tax an industry that only exists in your country to the tune of $11 billion every year.
I understand trade harmonisation, I do not understand paying for Spanish art galleries, or paying Italy, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Poland, the Czech republic and others because they don't want to tax their people as much as they spend.
On a side note I don't understand either giving financial aid to Brazil whose economy overtook the UK and wants to give British land to Argentina, or India who has a space programme when we don't, or Pakistan who wants to kill anyone who doesn't believe the claims of an illiterate pedophile.
Also Holyrood is the ugliest building ever built, and all MSPs are second raters who didn't get in to Westminster. Also Alex Salmond is a megalomaniacal idiot.
Because if you don't want to watch Sky you don't have to pay for it, whereas you are forced to pay for the BBC, even if you never watch it, and only use your TV for paid channels and/or consoles.
Surely a world with Sherlock Holmes would provide a good deterrent to criminals, or at least make their exploits really interesting reading for those of us who still read newspapers?
Music, Art, and Literature are things which are generally easily enjoyed, if not understood, (especially in the forms of popular music and film). The equivalent with science and maths is balancing the weekly budget, DIY (engineering), and gardening (biology).
Having spent a lot of time with scientists, in general they have no more knowledge of literature than the average man on the street. Enjoying is not studying or understanding in any depth.
Should I live (be), or should I kill myself (not be).
Simple.
The reason we (the west) produce in china, is that manufacturing is low margin, whereas inventing stuff and marketing stuff is where most of the money is to be made. So long as we keep designing stuff better than the chinese do, and branding it well we have nothing to worry about. ARM don't actually make anything, nor do they want to, they design advanced stuff, then sell the intellectual property for much more profit than the chinese get making it.
