Personally, I think the system is pretty bad - it made sense 200 years ago, but many things are outdated. For example, voting on a Tuesday leads to a low participation, Democrats in Alabama as well as Republicans in California basically don't count, etc. That being said, the rules were clear...

40k AR$ for a used MBP (while apple released a new model this year) with marks and 2 previous owners... Sounds like a steal :D

I'd google for criticism of the electoral system-based voting from 2012 before putting money on it - you'll find a lot of the same arguments that are brought up now and it was way before Trump... In fact, in a 2011 poll the majority of Americans preferred a system using popular vote - overall...

Well, (dis)proportionality is a clearly defined concept, so no matter whether one likes the voting system or not, it's disproportional https://en.wikipedia...ty_(mathematics

Just imagine that one president would do something against the law but has control over the judges and thus does not get prosecuted. Then the next president removes the control and let the judges work freely which results in bad people going to jail. In this case, they'd be related, but I...

Crossing a street can be highly dangerous, too...

No, its not erroneous: the most commonly used definition of the Holocaust - in Europe and in the US - is the genocide of Jews by the Nazi regime. Consequently, the other victims are not ignored or overlooked, but just don't fall into this definition.

If the numbers always follow this pattern, why not just block everything that looks like +54 11 5101 00 ** on the phone?

That was a general issue (at least in the K years): getting the parts into the country in a reasonable timeframe. But it doesn't matter where the notebook was bought - either the local service partner has the part or not. Sorry to burst Bajo's bubble, but they don't produce Apple replacement...

Apparently you still don't understand the difference between a random website on the internet and several peer-reviewed scientific studies from a research group focussing on firearm research.

Just FYI: the warranty of Macbooks is international. For iPhones/iPads it might be different, but for a Macbook you still have a similar warranty compared to a local purchase.

Thanks, you will do us a favor as you seem not capable of either reading or understanding the sources/studies I linked in several posts. So keep reading your rifleman and armed citizen magazines - you are definitely the target group...

I just believe in facts based on unbiased scientific studies, while you believe in the American Rifle Man and Fox News stories. I don't decide what's news and what's not, I look at facts, not "news". But I also learned that it's not worth discussing topics with people who will stick to their...

You see, discussing these topics doesn't lead to much as long as people believe in anecdotal evidence and highly biased magazines more than independent scientific studies. It's like saying human-induced climate-warming doesn't exist because it was pretty cold in B.A. the last weeks and there's a...

The self-defense argument is another NRA propaganda. The facts are pretty clear but I'm pretty sure someone can come up with some anecdotal evidence of a friend of a distant relative who read an NRA article describing that someone prevented a crime using his gun - which is clearly more relevant...

Nice straw man... There seem to be those who think that strict gun laws cannot prevent all homicides and mass killings, but reduce them significantly. Even though we cannot prevent fatal car accidents, it makes still sense to have seat belt laws and speed limits.

Come on Steve, do you need to sell personal opinions of an NRA supporter as "scientific facts"? The real numbers are the reason that the NRA does everything to prevent the CDC researching gun violence as a public health issue. You can argue about whether the right to own a firearm should be...

Despite being totally unrealistic - at least for the foreseeable future - even if those two guys want a single state doesn't change the fact that the article is utter bullshit as it sells a thought/vision of 2 persons as a fact. Any newspaper with at least a mediocre standard of journalism...

Nikad already gave links to several articles which include pictures. I never met the guy, so cannot confirm whether it's him or not, but it seems that quite a few people here went to his restaurant and nobody claimed 'it isn't him', whereas his name is also mentioned in some of the articles...

I think you don't understand 1) the idea of the EU and 2) the referendum, which was not about the EU "dragging out" the UK...
