I am not sure you have the right chain of events. This TED Talk is an interesting (and scary) explanation of why the bank crash happened, and why it will happen again, unless you get proper regulation.

I don't know exactly what the EU regulation says, but it could be that they allow for different levels for regular food stuff, and food stuff gathered from nature (mushrooms, berries and game). At least that's the divide that the Swedish levels go by. The limts is Sweden for regular food stuff is 300 Bq/kg, and for wild game, mushrooms and berries it is 1500 Bq/kg.
I am afraid to tell you that you are mistaken, Sweden is a member of the EU.
In Norway which is not a member of the EU the levels for Cs 137 in wild game is 3000 Bq/kg.
The levels are not at all the same everywhere else. For example in Sweden the levels of Cs 137 for wild game is 1500 Bq/kg (source in swedish: http://www.faktasamlingcbrn.fo... ).
Note that GP said, less corrupt, not no corruption.
It is quite possible to be less corrupt that the US while still having some considerable corruption left.
No
Nuclear power is an imperfect example as well, because the argument there isn't about the science - no one is disputing that nuclear reactions exist, and that electricity can be generated. The argument is more about whether humans can build and manage nuclear power plants with the near perfection that is required.
Oh, ye of little faith. There are absolutely people who believe that nuclear reactions doesn't not work.

Since graphene is pure coal, it would be rather easy to burn it.
I am sure it would be quite easy to make it react with other chemicals to dissolve it. Maybe you could even make alcohol from it? The possibilities are endless. Just because it is mechanically strong doesn't mean it is indestructible.

I wonder how you would describe the conditions that existed on earth when life started here if not "extreme" by our standards?
A fancier word for shit.
It seems like you didn't read the article carefully. The PS3 70 million number were from November 2012, with an IDC estimate of 77 million sold in January 2013.
So the odds are that the PS3 did have higher shipping numbers than the Xbox 360 by March 31th, when Xbox 360 reached 77 million.
Let me tell you a story. A bunch of Swedish guys stay in a hotel in the US. Their manager speaks Spanish and chats to the staff. The staff complain the Swedes don't tip. So the manager talks to them and explains they should all put a dollar bill on the table each day. Some of them leave change and the cleaners tell the manager this is unacceptable. Eventually all but one of them do the crisp $1 per day thing. The one that doesn't claims that tipping is feudal and turns the cleaners into supplicants, the hotel should pay the staff a decent wage like in Sweden, the US should have a social democratic party like in Sweden to stick up for the workers and so on and so on and refuses to do it.
When he checks out he finds out the cleaners have put on the porn channel every day after he left the room and turned it off just before he got back.
I think we can all learn a lesson from that story, can't we?
I would say that the lesson is that hotel cleaners in the US are criminals. And that the tipping system in the US sucks.
If the cleaners (or others in the service industry) feel they are entitled to the tip, it is not really a tip any more, it is just a hidden direct taxation for services.
It is interesting and a bit sad that 1.5 MB/s (during off-peak hours no less) seems to be something to brag about in the US.
I also have internet through cable and I consistently reach bandwidth of 12.5 MB/s round the clock (100 Mbit/s plan). I also have no caps whatsoever and could get a plan with 200 Mbit/s, but I don't think it warrants the price difference for me at the moment.
But then I actually live in a country that actually cares about its people and not just the profits of the corporations.
The fusion bombs are not really fusion bombs at all. They use fusion, yes, but the majority of the explosive power still comes from fission. The fusion part is only there to increase the amount of neutrons available to increase the efficiency of the fission.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
