By not investigating the motivations why the students are somking cannabis, they have omitted the far stronger correlation of social and personal stress factors in relation to success in exams, that is farm more impacting than the actual use of cannabis. Fail studies are fail.

You are trying to prove me wrong with incorrect information. Well done troll.

In a fiat currency system no ones money is worth anything, there is nothing backing it.

You are so wrong it hurts. 1) interest rates are set by LIBOR and have already been proven to be chosen arbitrarily by bankers. 2) Banks are too big to fail, yes even in the UK, there is no chance of failure. 3) the country has access to fiat currency printing, meaning they will print as much as they need to cover any loss to insured deposits, also tieing into point number one, that interest rates are arbitrary in relation to actual banking.

By definition there is no humane way to take a human life. Stop trying to solve paradoxical word problems and actually deal with the issues that cause aberrant behavior.

Most "science" is geared towards profit making (creating new or novel commodities), not actual progression of knowledge. Just look at the figures for R&D investments vs marketing investments and you will understand the point.

That is pretty much the sentiment that I am holding. False flag atracks are not unheard of but actual terror attacks re not unheard of either, so in the end I hope that the liberties of the people survive this ordeal.

What the hell is Trinidad and Tobago doing in those tiny islands that ranks them so high? Or is it indicative of some lifestyle issue there?

Yeah, key demographics in Miami are older Jewish couples and older Cuban refugees who all tend to be very conservative. If the younger demographics weren't so well entertained they might care to vote but until they do Miami will tend towards the conservative side i think.

I lived in the North Miami/South Broward area for 12 years before moving to the Bay Area and I can certainly say there will be substantial culture shock when immersing yourself into the South Florida social and professional environment. I would never live in the South Florida region after living in the Bay. The cost of living is substantially cheaper but the quality of living is exponentially worse. I wish them all the best of luck, maybe an influential group of active, tech savvy citizens can inject some liberal values into the otherwise uber conservative climate.

Well, your assumption that they would be grossly inflated is 100% incorrect, these are surplus goods that are sold at 15% of the price that they would go for in their domestic markets because for them to reach the foreign markets they are marked down as excess and further subsidized by the government through various import tax schemes.

That's almost exactly what I thought, Soviet era Russia, China's great leap forward, the Triangle Trade, I am pretty sure those all had longer lasting effects than this embargo.

So funny and so true. The economic flood would destroy their native markets, and garner quite a bit for US based companies.

Your comment is not only stupid, it is a non sequitur.

While I totally agree that Romero was an abject failure, his point still rings true. The need to obtain venture capital to launch a decent game has created an atmosphere stagnation in the genre, and dare I say, the field of game development as a whole. The requirement to produce results has superseded the game designers ability to implement new and interesting game mechanics in my opinion. It would be awesome to see more games that take the genre to a new level, even if the main proponent is someone who has't innovated in years.
