if the grain of salt is too frequent it is bad for you too.
Just saying...

Actually I recall study that showed that most of the time - the more you work, the shorter your lifespan is. There are of course exceptions - working on own farm in a fresh air of Kaukasus was one. Working on a small farm in India is not.Or to put it bluntly - roof maker is not going to work till official legal pension age because of health issues, a white collar guy is not going to work till official pension age but his life is still going to be shorter and more miserable than those of the '1% elite' - those that can afford to work as much as they want and take care of their health when need be.

but but but all men are rapists! It is OT for this discussion but it seems to me that in some societies on this beautiful planet, a man approaching a woman must be in a company of a lawyer and a witness just in case things will be investigated. I think making sex between humans illegal, when at least one party does not have a witness and a lawyer at his/her side, is not far away.

but that is not how some understood it. Alco is no help - evil then!
BTW: I know the dark side of alco as I lost a friend and a member of a family to alcohol (or to late effects of misuse). But you can overindulge in almost anything. Humans are very inventive at that.

It may be that alcohol helps in surviving a party with all those people around, that either are too intellectual for their own good or are to silly to allow meaningful discussion. I have a comparison because I had to give up drinking some time ago due to health concerns.I did not have problems without a drink. I had a problem without a drink during parties. I found solution - I do not go to the parties anymore. I have more time and save money too - win,win!
I miss a glass of good wine and/or beer tho. The taste of it especially red wine - I liked it as it made the taste of my meals complete.

just to be sure - where did the summary use word 'cheat'?

in networking redundant is a base for constant amusement - all these people trying to figure out why loop protection software is not working or why certain things were switched off by loop protection software. It cannot really get better than this.....

Euro allowed Greeks to go deep in debt only the same way as any currency allows debtors take up debt. The actual problem lied in smoke and mirrors of Greek gov trying to trick others and in readiness of lenders to be misinformed.

I was with you until you somehow got confused about intelligence of people making presumably legal decisions in your (is valid for any) country these fuckwitts are usually not very intelligent and if they are they are either corrupt or committed some sort of silly act that the others made illegal based on their prejudice or bad will. Other than that you are probably right.

What sort of barbaric regime sends weapons into space? Only Ruskies could be so evil. Ohh wait....

this is a black and white vision that would make any geek proud. The thing is - there is a relationship but it is not direct and straightforward. It reminds me of an Inverted Pendulum or rather a set of those to be held up just by moving their only support point.

the best one can do to save environment and protect against global warming at least in that part that is caused by humans* - condoms for free. The main reason we use so much energy is because there are so many of us. Most of us are completely useless (I agree republican party members are even more so) so there is no issue of having fewer useless farts. Bonus is - less STDs (including herpes hepatitis and other nice ones) around.The biofuels were a nice try - now we know better. We shall revisit the subject when the standard fuels run out which they eventually will
* - some humans doubt if humans at all can cause any significant global effect and say compare our CO2 production to a huge vulcano erruption. Yet 1 more vulcano eruption on top of 20 others is increase by 5% and this goes on every year. Then cutting trees all over the place has a significant effect on local weather patterns and increase of surface temperature and as humans live everywhere now they cut the trees everywhere. Concrete is significantly hotter in the middle of the sunny day than a forest surface. There are few other small and big items but certainly constant activity of 7b humans has a significant and accumulating effect on weather. We can discuss how big this effect may be but it is there.

2/7=28% which if you really want you can round down to 20% all is well then.

maybe their economy optimized living beings out of existence and now only the stock exchange boots are still there increasing the value and making progress as we speak.

I think you should use proper terminology - US have no allies or friends, they have vassals.
