  1. @P C Also, without India, we'd all have a garbage Roman numeral system and no concept of shampoo, chess, algebra or the number zero, without which there'd be no binary, no computers and thus no Internet (which isn't even British lmao). Actually, our entire mineral system comes from India, not just the 0. Let it go, the sun has set on your Empire mate. Move on

  6. Phyrexious Unfortunately, America was founded on principles, rather than people. That makes our identity very versatile (anyone can become American!) but it also makes our citizens' mindsets rigid. -"Want to fight climate change and aid the survival of your people?" -"No, that's hippie-dippie socialism!"

  8.  @Michael-Archonaeus  Capitalism isn't "freedom." Capitalism is an economic system in which gaining capital (equipment and facilities that further create profit; financial assets) is the primary "goal." As far as I can tell, the companies selling these drugs are doing a fantastic job of that.

  9.  @liriani  Nothing wrong with either- the difference is, Russian media is openly state-backed, whereas the American 'independent media' claims to be more trustworthy, and therefore safer to watch. They could be toeing the government line while lying to viewers about their agenda, to get more people to watch and believe what they say. They need to be called out, since they're the ones claiming to be free and independent.

  11.  @rurak2727  Yes, I can speak from personal experience. St. Petersburg has a good transport system. Buses are reliable, there are trams and the metro has doors that only open when the train stops so it's impossible to fall onto the tracks.

  12. Nope, most of Europe today (save a few really old, politically neutral cities) were built in the 1700's and 1800's/ Paris was redesigned almost completely redesigned in 1853. Same with Eastern Europe and Germany following World War II. Spain, Italy, and Greece took less damage, hence their very 'homely' cities, but most modern European cities are planned. Even the "old town square."

  13.  @majav15mg  Yes, but it is because of its immense power, that its stupidity is all the more shameful. One would think that such power comes from competence but with such large societal flaws it seems luck was the main factor.

  14.  @whitexican1  ...Why? A city is meant to be lived in, why would you bulldoze extremely valuable property just so some dope with a car can commute into the city center (oh wait, we just bulldozed that!) a little bit faster? The suburban residents wouldn't have anywhere to drive to if the city took a backseat to the roads. And right turns on red do make traffic flow more smoothly.. it also kills more people.

  15.  @AlexS-oj8qf  From what you've told me, you're in a small minority (the exception), not the rule. It barely sounds like a suburb and more like a mansion, at least the amount of land you own is not typical at all. For most Americans, suburbs are much less accommodating than what you have. They have a small front lawn and backyard, and often have restrictive codes they need to follow. Congratulations, but don't receive the false impression that you live in a suburb.

  16. @covfefe I don't know. But that doesn't matter— people in the United States need to outlaw domestic corporations avoiding taxes through other countries. That's the solution to this problem.

  20. That's the way it's been since the 1800's. Ever since the standard of realism has been thrown out in favor of perceived value, artists can be thrown into the spotlight at someone's whim, instead of proving it with skill and years of experience.

  21.  @radagast1184  Yes, you're right about both of your comments. But you're missing the point: those trees won't just grow back in 20 years' time. If you deforest the land, it will become as dry as the Sahara. Without trees, no moisture can accumulate and none of the trees can survive there anymore (since Amazon trees rely on high rainfall). The trees right now sustain themselves, but the balance is delicate. Not to mention that species don't come back to the areas that regrow- they stay only in the areas that are untouched. Once you chop those trees down, the animals and plants that lived there are gone forever. Brazil could make billions or trillions of dollars selling medicines taken from the Amazon, but instead Bolsonaro thinks selling the wood is a better option. It's lazy and cheap. Brazil is nothing more than a plantation now. Brazil could be so much richer and keep its forests, but because of corruption it will lose everything. I hope you enjoy.

  22.  The Absolute Madman  You'd pay for it in taxes. In fact, given the efficiency of systems already doing it, you'd probably pay less. As it currently stands, we pay more for healthcare than Europeans, before the insurance bill shows up in our mail. Then we pay the companies. If it weren't so depressing. It'd be funny how good they got us.

  23. THEMenelouss Może i nasz rację o różnicę w cenach, ale sam wiesz że życie jest inne w Polsce. Transport jest niesamowicie tani, dla większość ludzi nie warto wogóle kupować samochodu, szczególnie w dużym mieście. Więc gaz do wielkiego stopnia odpada. Oczywiście elektronika będzie kosztowała więcej, dzięki handlowym umowom między Ameryką i Polską. Ale wątpię że częściej kupujesz nowe laptopy niż idziesz do jakiejkolwiek usługi zdrowotnej. Fakt że życie jest "gorsze" (tylko bądź wdzięczny że nie masz straszną nadwagę jak Amerykanin), ale mnie się wydaje że sam koszt życia w Polsce jest mniejwiecej taki sam albo mniejszy.

  24. As far as I can tell, no one's videos are getting banned for being too right-wing. They're just not receiving money from advertisers via their refusal to show ads before the videos. That's no reason to hate leftists, if anything protest the companies. They have the money, and it's not the job of people to conform to them, right? So direct the anger and action to them.

  25.  @nexus1g  1. Source? I'd like to know what 'not rich' means to you. Consider the fact that many parents simply place their children under guardianship of a poorer relative, to appear less well-off and receive financial aid. I'm not humoring your naivete, just look it up. 2. Comprehensive is a loose term. The average person has to pay out of pocket for care (and wait times) nearly identical to that of a citizen of any other industrialized country. When you get into expensive specialty care, then the U.S. has something to brag about. Otherwise, its system is a house without a foundation. 3. Backpedaling 4. This doesn't detract from the need for a minimum wage. The cost of living in an area if not directly proportional to its distance from a metropolis- purchasing power parity reaches a floor, and that floor is what (should) we base the minimum wage on. New Yorkers will always have high wages, but that doesn't mean the Missourian should go hungry because the only McDonald's in town will pay him just enough for rent and nothing else.
    2
  26.  @pepps779  I do, but you seem not to understand that the minimum wage doesn't just adjust with the market. It has to be made law, and currently it doesn't provide enough for people in even the lowest-value areas of the country to survive without taking a second or third job. Companies will happily pay as little as possible, it's our responsibility to curb that behavior.

  34. Sure, but infrastructure today is inexorably tied with the economy- i.e. the demands of the masses. Renaissance architecture and art was funded largely by royalty, wealthy patrons, and Italy's exclusive access to the Persian Empire (which also meant imported things from China, when it was still the ruler of the world). The U.S. hates (non-military) wasteful spending, has no royalty, and last time I checked we are nowhere near Iran. China still makes all of our stuff though, but I wouldn't count on any of it for long-lasting structures...

  35. Sorry to butt in- I had no idea the Greeks used cut stone to make their buildings! Seems almost Herculean when we think of building with machines today... Also, we can totally build those types of buildings with concrete, especially since the University of Utah recently discovered how to make actual Roman concrete again- it hardens over time and while rapid housing replacement wouldn't contribute to the economy like it does currently, a lot of money could be siphoned away (that is, saved) from replacing millions of MDF-built subdivisions every few decades into more needed areas. I know that's more economy then civil engineering, but if the Romans could do it, why can't we? Especially with our modern tech!

  36.  Father Man  But it wasn't. The Ottomans had plenty of Christians in its empire- it allowed those outside the state religion, unlike the Spanish and French, to live in their empire. In fact, it depended on them, as non-Muslims had to pay a tax (yeah, I know that stinks, but it's either that or a Muslim Crusades, your pick). So to suggest that they were going to forcibly convert Europeans is ridiculous. In case you're wondering, yes, Albania is Muslim because they converted to avoid those taxes. You could blame the Ottomans for requiring a non-Muslim tax, or you could ask the Albanians why their faith was so weak. So technically you're right, but you'd also have to blame the Europeans, since the Ottomans didn't force conversions. You know, personal responsibility.

  38. James Davis First of all, learn English better, please. Proper grammar is key. Second of all, unless you want to flood New York City, Philedelphia, Hartford, Myrtle Beach, and every other East Coast city in the U.S., we can't afford not to switch to solar. Third of all, send me links proving that climate change is "incomplete." Show me the data that says the rate of ice melting, atmospheric pollution, and water level rises aren't caused by increasing methane and carbon-dioxide levels in the air, produced by cars and factories. I'm waiting.

  39. x92811 200 years of hiding behind oceans will do that for a country— no matter how inbred its citizens are. Put the U.S. in Russia's situation, but replace the players so it makes sense. Get this: For hundreds of years before the U.S. is founded, it's forced to fight from all four sides— the Navajo Nation, The French Canadians, the Mexicans, and the Sioux. They have immunity to your diseases this time. Your nation is caught in the middle. Then (no imagination needed here) you're colonized by a foreign power, but (bc Russia missed out on the Renaissance due to the Mongols) you don't have the Industrial Revolution. You finally gain independency, and conquer from sea to shining sea. Great! Except the East and West Coast are frozen. So you have to go through the Gulf of Mexico to trade, their water is warmer. That means you have to pay royalties. You know about all the rivers that connect to the Mississippi? Well you don't get those. When WWII comes around, all your cities get bombed, instead of one harbor, and you lose 30 million working men by the end of it. How's that economy looking?

  40. The moratorium expires in January. I'm especially worries for northern cities, where the evicted people might freeze. Or fight over what kettle resources they can get.

  41.  @Reynaertphotos  He is successful because of oil. What happens when it runs out, and Russia's economy has no other strong areas? The central bank and (because he has personally nationalized many private companies,) Putin needs to diversify Russia's economy. When he dies, he can't leave the country without a plan for the future. But sadly that's probably what he will do.

  45.  @matthewsthatsit5717  Yes, it is. But many places didn't do it when they were constructed, and don't want to change anything. Poland's new metro, and Chicago's L train, both have this design flaw.

  47. Russia might not (sad but true), but China will. There is a cap when weighing cost of maintenance vs. number of people (revenue), and China has definitely gone past that. There are enough people in enough places to keep their industry very profitable. Also, Russia's metro has been working for decades, and I don't know many Russians who would be comfortable turning their country into a highway, as the U.S. has largely done. It may cost money, but it's more than worth it (historically, and culturally).

  48. Ironic, given that a lot more people would actually tune in to watch a solid debate. The only reason why this is still allowable/profitable is because America's population has grown. The percentage of people who watch, sadly, doesn't matter as long as enough stupid people continue to watch, and buy the things they see on TV.

  49. Uh if you're talking about actual chemical composition then no. Both have added sucrose (what most people consider "sugar," high-fructose corn syrup included). They're both bad. You could argue that Tropicana is worse for you b/c it has more chemicals and fewer nutrients overall, and that it makes up for being total crap by adding more sucrose instead of glucose (fat/carbs) like the cake has, but that's another argument altogether. Just eat cake, really food in general, with more fat and less sugar in it.

  50. Jaqen idk... That's all nice in theory, but making exceptions to presidents such as Washington and FDR was characteristic of huge changes in America, relative to other presidents. When Washington refused to be elected again, he set a precedent of 2 terms and right after he left office Burr killed Hamilton and the entire electoral process was shaken. When the U.S. had to let FDR take 4 terms to drag the country out of Depression, he caused an economic boom with policies headed by him after WWII. Without him overstepping constitutional power, America would be nothing what it is today. So is a (good) "strong leader" really that bad?
