Hope the WDA didn't pay you too much.
And because the Irish pay so little tax other Europeans have to raise €85,000,000,000.- to bail them out.
Wrong. The only reason the bailout is being forced on Ireland is because of loans given by German and UK banks to Irish banks. Ireland is quite capable of sorting out its own deficit.
Meh hardly. Ireland is for a lack of a better term fucked, because it taxes businesses little to not at all, but relies heavily on income and sales tax to fill it's coffers.
Incorrect. Its in trouble because the government guaranteed huge amounts of speculator debt.
On one hand we have Ireland, that has low tax rate... but somehow it is on the verge of bankrupcy
These two are not connected. Bankruptcy in this case has a lot more to do with the banks than anything else.
Not in the Irish case. Companies "in Ireland for tax reasons" don't necessarily employ many people there.
On the contrary, hundreds of thousands of people depend for their living directly and indirectly on FDI.
but Islam didn't make it that way
Yeah it did.
It will not benefit women in any way (except for those female politicians who use it to futher their careers).
Great, lets hope the female politicians in Saudi Arabia use it to further their careers.
Nothing, it's not possible. The gravity and inertia on Earth allow us to do things like pour liquids from one vessel to another.
Meh, just keep everything under a little pressure.
You'd have to reinvent every single process to do it in space. Why?
Because space has a lot more stuff than earth. True, you'd need to do it just for space based markets first, but before too long economies of scale would kick in and you could just drop your manufactured products straight down to earth.
Space is a dead end. Face it.
The more engineers I meet, the less I respect the breed tbh. Science, motherfucker, it does stuff it couldn't do yesterday. Economics, you do not understand it.
Cute, now you put words in my mouth.
Better than you putting words into the mouths of others.
Or really like fantasizing.
Mmm, sarcasm is no replacement for a critical mind. Although some clearly feel that it is.
which would of course require throwing a very large part of what we know about evolution of life on this planet out the window...)
On the contrary, it merely involves educating you on the limits of our knowledge, which doesn't take long.
we have no justifiable reason assume such large discrepancies.
In flat defiance of the clear predominance of possibility pointed out by the poster you misrepresented, and which you have thus far failed to refute.
That ALL the available evidence, and constantly being unearthed, evidence paints certain picture is only too convenient. But hey, since you mention Dawkins - maybe there were giants, who knows...
You're not interested in evidence. You should, however, look up calls to authority as they were used in the medieval period. Most of us have moved on, you know.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
