Pay goes something like this in a large level multinational Low level India -5k$ Low level eastern Europe 15k$ Low level western Europe/US 30k$ Low level Switzerland 45k$ Low level manager India -...

I drive a Prius for years, and basically it is a nobrainer. We do a lot of miles on the road, so the car pays itself faster than average in our case. The only alternative is a diesel of some sort,...

Yes, it is depressing, but you in New Zealand look better than most in that respect... at least this is how it looks like from far away ;-) ( maybe grass is greener... )

Fish on cocaine, not suprising.

Yes - Listen to Kev on this one, I can just add + 1 to what he said. Most importantly "more is not better", a 3+ 1 strategy for few weeks is max you can take on, as in prinicple if you wanted - it...

Unwilling, but there is no choice, is there? I would actually prefer state involvement in getting unemployment under control, even artificially... to try and get the people back into work with a...

yes - something somewhat related to this topic in the news today Heart eating on video "live" (not in the link, but BBC article discussing it) - war... how can you prepare for it - you can't,...

That's a great article - we people have a strong desire to live, shows best when we are cornered. Also war is taken very lightly in the mainstream culture world wide, plus it is amazing that WWIII...

After it escalates fish and chips trade wars can take place. "If you do not want to drink my tea, I will not eat fish and chips from your village anymore!" Everyone suffers.

Does it really matter? The scale is 1:4 , it is pretty clear that Chinese economy will outrun US pretty soon. Take a look where they were 10 years ago. There has to be a major screwup somewhere...

This part is very much true. I think we still have a few people on this board defending Iraq invasion with "threat of terrorism"/whatever... even today - in 2013. Pretty impressive propaganda work....

To add - I completely agree, during 1990's and even more so in previous decades, new version meant big productivty boost, but after office/win 2000 for those platforms, newer versions have some...

I like this one: Just a note. Naming your kid “Trig” but nicknaming him “Trigger” is kind of like naming your kid “Bob” and giving him the nickname of “Robert.” :-D

Drugs war goes on in most of the rest of the world, and gun violence is still at the levels it is. Reason if due to different culture, but also gun policies. Does not mean drug guys do not kill...

China has everything to play for. With skill and a blast of freedom, it can take its rightful place at the forefront of world affairs. But nothing is foreordained. Depends on them whether they can...

Fair is fair, it is US citizens that elect their politicians and not the Chinese, so why would Chinese have to suffer first if US defaults, it should be the people who are the culprits in the whole...

The truth is that if you can buy marijuana in the same way as tobacco - that will have no ill effects, but for higher level drugs you may need legal prescription, and perhaps even "place of use",...

I also support legalization of drugs, any kind... just different level of requirement for legal access. Similar case should be with guns (different level of requirement for legal access). Even if...

That is an interesting take, even though the balance is moving, perhaps slowly for a "human lifetime" timeframe, but it is moving pretty rapidly from evolutionary point of view. In principle this...

First point - are you doing anything about it? Want to spend others people's money? So my point of putting money in my life where I think it's right you come back with "Gestures are pointless" ......
