Democracy is fine and well, it's an indictment of americans. Considering the 2 times this century the popular vote winner didn't get into power. And that the current president was given power twice.
> It is difficult to imagine a people - on paper the richest, most educated and healthiest in the history of the world -
The fact that you think these are true is part of the problem.

3000 people died on 9/11 alone. Spreading it over 50 years, makes it 60/year. Where did you get the 4 from?
They weren't. They were reintroduced in Scotland in 2009.
Which also installs a complete JVM in it.
"First world" doesn't mean developed, it means aligned with the US.
This isn't a First Amendment issue, it's regulating commerce with a foreign nation.
You should google Wickard v. Filburn. The US Supreme Court ruled that the US government can regulate what you grow on your own land for your own consumption, because it affects inter-state trade.
What would be the right way to correct him?

Berlin is one of the 16 federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany.
What stop names are translated?
Where exactly are these mythical European "no-go zones"?
"He" won't. It's not like he'll bring money from home.
Copyright infringement isn't theft.
And to say that it's just an ethics thing, is completely ignorant view. It's perfectly acceptable to torrent something when living in a country that wasn't deemed worthy by the rights holder to release their product there.
> like Germany, with all due respect to the Germans who still care about their privacy
What are you talking about? The german speaking world cares (maybe a bit too much) about privacy. This is why google street view sucks in Germany. NOYB - European Center for Digital Rights is headquartered in Vienna.
You say it like it's something bad. Or are you for the abolishment of the FDA?
This is r/shitamericanssay material.
Sorry, but what you say doesn't make any sense. You think that YouTube and Netflix will just sit by as precedent is decided next to them? And the right owners having already won in court would just ignore the biggest "offenders"?
So you started writing crappy apps because it was easier for you and now you want to be paid double to fix your shit?
what's you definition of fair? What the market would bear?
the expenses paid by governments you mean?
Right, a port at the other end of Europe without good connections to the West, whose usage maybe makes sense only for ships passing through the Suez and Bosporus is a competitor to the ones sitting on the Atlantic.
And it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the Romanian coastal surveillance system was conveniently down when cocaine started to shop up on the beaches.
And you want the Romanian government to admit that? Of course it's the Dutch who are jealous of a port which couldn't we worse located/s
