    The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

    And regarding the popularity of blacks, specially outside of the USA - IMHO the problem is, that media is showing us the (i kind of exaggarate here :-) ) the thrashy blacks or the behaviour which is not common here, but not decent ones who could be role models for everybody no matter what is...

    The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

    Based on photos and information that i have gathered: 1. Yes, i claim (which is probably not a good or exact word i want to say due the language barrier) that Stasi and KGB kept the East Germany in a mental ruin; because well, East Germany looked like a modern western country for those who lived...

    The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

    Yes, i agree with you about the Hiroshima, however, are you claiming that the combination of Stasi and KGB power is less compared to the state power, for example in Alabama or other southern state at the same period, for example between 1945-1985? What i do not understand is why oppressed ones...

    The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

    Yes, i would not care, if the reasons are artificially created and other people are blamed in a style "i have to be in different school or different bus". For some reasons, others can survive even if there is a combination of carpet bombing and general poverty. Just ask people in Dresden or...

    The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

    Yeah right! Not sure whether you response is sarcasm or real. Why do you think there was less crime in Soviet Estonia than in modern Estonia? Displaying our national flag was almost sentence to death. Punishment was little bit less, if you celebreted Christmas. I do not miss the Soviet time...

    The *official* Election Day Game Thread!

    I would say statements and attitudes like this is the reason why Trump got the amount of votes he got and why people getting more divided both in big and small countries. For some reason, Dubai, cities in Saudi Arabia and also in Japan are much safer than those in USA which have more Democratic...

    Coronavirus

    I hope i quoted somewhat properly. In general i agree with you, however it seems, that there are tendency that "University degree + fancy job title" automatically means "expert" who is above the god. Specially in a IT field but also elsewhere. Even in medical field - i am sure that reading...

    Coronavirus

    No, although i graduated the Tallinn Technical University (IT Engineer) we did not had many energy related subjects. Still, based on those lessons and with some talking with the tutors, i would not be against to have nuclear plant in Estonia. If Greta is not an expert, why did she received so...

    Coronavirus

    Well, as it is a COVID thread - then the knowledgable ones should also not cause any panic moment a la do not visit your parents (how can a virus free person infect their parents) etc etc. We had tiny debate in Estonia where people asked a document from a doctor, that they are in good shape...

    Coronavirus

    Maybe yes, maybe not :-). So - is that person an expert who claims, that nuclear energy and nuclear power plants are bad? Should i go back to university - because i believe-think, that nuclear energy is pretty decent if you know what you do compared to solar energy. Is Greta Thunberg an expert...

    Coronavirus

    So are 737MAX engineers and certify organizations experts or not? Remember, 737 MAX got in the beginning the green light from all the experts over the world and it seems, that all non US ones never did any testing and just trusted the results on paper. IMHO there is not an 100% working method to...

    Coronavirus

    Well, experts and authorities from USA, Europe and Asia also said, that 737 MAX is a safe airplane before the flights ET302 and JT610. Why the experts have a "holy cow" status? IMHO today everybody can be an expert if the job title says so specially if you have the right connections. Nobody is...

    Close Encounters of the Feline Kind

    On the map it seems the Slate Canyon is quite near the suburbs of Provo? Doesn't the Provo department of environment and nature issue enough hunting permits to keep the somewhat dangerous wildlife at reasonable numbers or away from the city? Or is the food supply (deers and other small animals)...

    Close Encounters of the Feline Kind

    What happens should you throw some stones against the cougar? Or is a tree branch better for protection? How far or close was that location to the nearest house, gas station etc? In my country the hikers and nature lovers say/state that you should be extremely lucky should you encounter lynx...

    2020 Presidential Debates

    To clarify my thoughts - as i have seen the Proud Boys only on Google photo search i would not take them anyway seriously at all. I.e whatever they claim - they are not doing it in a way that attracts somebody like me to their group. IMHO if you you want to express your thoughts-ideas even if...

    2020 Presidential Debates

    Yes i agree, that western civilization is currently and historically during the last 500 years superior in the same sense as Magnus Carlsen is more superior in chess than Maurice Ashley :-) (who is IMHO one of the best chess commentators and has had some good games against really good players...

    2020 Presidential Debates

    Not that other heritages are bad, but hasn't history shown us, that in a grand scheme of things western heritage has been much more powerful and/or successful during the last 500 years, than asian, african or south american systems? Otherwise there would similar countries like Japan, Taiwan...
