I have a feeling that the religious police in Iran would have much more severe had Iranians not been modernized by the Shah. The West has fucked up in a few ways but changing culture and modernisation is not one of those failures.

Crni https://wenr.wes.org/2018/10/education-in-south-korea#:~:text=Korea's education system underwent a,rate of only 22 percent. This site would disagree with you. S. Korea post WW2 wasn't exactly well off and its population was incredibly illiterate with a 22 percent literacy rate. Only 5...

This is it, eight here. Whether they have changed remains to be seen but the Taliban now have to adjust their rule in response to the 20 years of U.S. presence. Women have rights now and they are in no hurry to give them up. The majority of Afghans, including the Taliban themselves, now use...

S. Korea took 40 years to turn into what is is today from what was an authoritarian junta that was tolerated because of its anti communism. We also believed in defending S. Korea and Taiwan. Afghanistan is remarkably similar to Vietnam in a few ways. A weak and corrupt nascent government...

F1 has always counted atmosphere as one of its biggest pros. Was the game 'smaller', yes and that was confirmed. It was the first game after all and what the game did offer, was pretty good. In regards to difficulty, unless you meta game, it is actually very difficult, especially the saving...

Thats why you have people like Jack Kevorkian.

Insects because they are often easy to kill and quick to die. Mostly a smash spells instant death. Insects are also the most alien of earth creatures as most other life forms resemble us humans like 2 arms/legs and 2hand/feet combo. Head, neck, body. 2 eyes one nose and mouth. Insects are...

Reminds me of the movie AI. Always liked GITS.

Probably some kind of power regulator. Sucks to accidentally punch a whole in your MMA opponent.

Tried to google but quick search got nothing. So in Deus Ex, Adam Jensen and JC Denton SHOULD feel pain right? Unless the chip imparts finely tuned motor control for their limbs via no pain like pressure. I wonder because when Adam breaks locks, it doesn't seem to hurt him. Also, what are...

Fucking Lycan Hypersport. Your very own transformer looking car.

Most people mistake information against their arguments as a personal attack. While I often hit hard, it is not out of malice but to prove a point. The people here often do not fall into that category or learn or leave. I like it here.

We certainly agree about learning from each other. While europe seems to go towards the U.S. way of thinking, liberalism has gained a lot of momentum here since the conservative america of the 50s and 60s. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

Education needs to move towards more specialisation rather rote memory and testing. Infrastructure is mostly a state issue with the government involved on the fed funding side. A good compromise would be to support a bill where the state can pay for life saving treatment that would normally...

Are not CERTAIN guns banned though? Can you own a military style weapon in Germany? Is it true that even pump action shotguns are banned? Do you disagree that Germany and europe in general is much more regulated than the U.S.? In good and bad? You got me on the socialism thing but its not...

Obviously I am not arguing against regulations like food safety or illegal dumping. But let us not be intellectually dishonest and compare that to stupid regulations like banning guns cause they look scary or mandated critical race studies, this is just straw manning. Europe to me, looks like...

So in a nutshell, Yeah, europeans are different. You lack the asshole or cowboy culture that most folks associate with America. You are willing to put up with much more regulation for the sake of 'stability' whereas we value a more independent spirit, even if it costs us more in the end. You...

Ok dem/socialism, I am American. Regardless of whatever the hell you want to call it, do you deny that euros are more than eager to have big government? Do you deny europe is selfish im their isolationism? And no, as I have posted links about AoC, having services like police and fire is not...

Morgan See, Europe IS different. Maybe it was all the monarchies. Maybe all the war and killing. Maybe the mass colonialism. Maybe time after time, Europe had the chance to try to make a more peaceful world, create a U.N. that worked, consolidated power into two super states instead of 5...

Ok you found some, mostly recent. Floyd somehow pissed off many in europe although I don't really know why it would be now instead of 2 or 3 years ago. I mean in the last post I asked for examples, all I got was the communist lady in Germany. And we are different clearly as you euros managed...
