*Sigh* Youre not even trying any more. I think people mix up different rating systems In USA TV programs have content descriptors when they are seen to have something questionable in them Content descriptors Some thematic elements, according to the FCC, "may call for parental guidance and/or the program may contain one or more of the following" sub-ratings, designated with an alphabetic letter: D – Suggestive dialogue L – Coarse or crude language S – Sexual situations V – Violence FV – Fantasy violence Here media products (tv-series, movies and games have age ratings and possible content descriptors to explain why it has certain age rating) Contains violence Contains sex Contains horror elements Contains drug use Then there is PEGI system that has its own content descriptors violence bad language fear/horror sex drugs gambling discrimination and worst of all online play option

Nothing has changed in 500 years. There are still people that think Shakespeare's plays are inappropriate for decent folk

This clearly means that Trump collaborated with Russian to hack US elections and took bribes from Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and so on. As everything is true what people are accused of even if investigation/probe of subject is still going or just starting

I would say that is pretty accurate description.

My plan is 500€/year : 150€ deductible (per year), it pays up to 40000 € of medical expenses and other things. It is completely different insurance plan.

Can't say about Sweden, but in here is how things generally work in Finland You can either use public health care system where you can if you need to see doctor you can go to emergency room if you have acute problem, or reserve time which you can get for same day or next day if you need to see general practitioner, for specialists it may go next week. When it comes to treatments, then non-urgent surgeries are the ones which you may need to wait months before there is free slot in schedule depending on what kind surgery you are needing. Or go to private clinic which there are multitude which offering varies quite lot. In most private clinics that I have used you need to wait max half hour to see doctor gp and usually you can get time for specialist for same day. When it comes to treatments it depends lots of what you need. Most clinics can do simple things, but when it comes to complicated operations then most clinics will give you referral to one of the central hospitals (which are bigger hospitals that have capacities to do complex operations), but there are also private clinics that have capacities to do complex operations, but usually they focus on certain fields. Of course cost of treatments on private clinics can be quite expensive, so it is recommendable to have health insurance (either one that you pay yourself or one that is paid by your employer).

Although these parties don't want that to be true in future and they do their best to undermine current systems. what system you mean? Democracy? Systems that allow free education and universal health care Not sure about that, do they have it in their policies? Anyway its fine as its based on voter want it that way, its called democracy, still its capitalist versus socialist, nothing far right about it (at least not in term I think most people today relate far right to) For example our "close borders, anti EU, anti immigration" party has cut hundreds of millions from education, health care, created policies to make people get private health insurances in their time in government. During elections they said that they would do opposite, but currently they have been very "right wing" in everything that they have done. Well that is sad, they should be hold accountable. Polls show that their popularity has dropped from 20% to 8%, so in next elections they probably will lose their place in government. That is good, I am surprised there is no left leaning party which would still want secured borders. (well there is plenty in our country - even commies want them secured ) Our borders are already very secure, as our longest border is with Russia that is heavily guarded and controlled because of political and historical reasons, our borders with Norway and Sweden are in very north which makes them quite unattractive to larger forms of population traffic. Our southern border is with sea, which means that people coming from that direction needs to use either boats or airplanes which are both heavily regulated forms of transportation, which means that population traffic from that direction is already under control. So main reasons to secure our borders more is to prevent people from other EU countries legally move in Finland and currently only population group that cause notable problems are Romani people from Romania and Bulgaria as they have beggar camps that have caused public disturbance which have made people demanding breaking them down and so on. Although it is Polish and Estonian workers, especially construction workers, that are in our anti-EU party's target as there are lots of them and they are able to work cheaper than Finnish workers can (because of temporal living arrangements, not paying taxes to Finland and having home in country with much cheaper price level).

We pay taxes to keep public sector running like any other country. Our policy is that education is public service and therefore it is publicly funded which is generally known as free education, but of course in money based economy there isn't anything that is actually free, only things that person don't directly pay themselves from their own pockets.

Maybe USA should first declare official language

Unless it has changed since 2013, they do not pay Federal Income Tax. Heres an interesting website that talk about the US territories. Unincorporated territories of the United States don't pay federal taxes, because congress in past wanted to have ability to impose discriminatory tax regimes with the effect of a protective tariff upon territorial regions which were not domestic states. Unincorporated territories were and are still quite lot effectively same as colonial territories were and are for European countries. They are places that are under government control, but aren't protected by constitutions and regulations of main land. In past citizens of said territories didn't even have citizenship of country that controlled them, and even now there are usually limitations and exceptions in their citizenship. All this means that benefit of said territories for main land isn't that they pay taxes, but that their citizens are seen expendable so they can used as cheap labor to get resources that main land needs, or circumvent regulations allowing tax havens, unsafe medical research and so on. Or they are seen as strategic location for either defensive or offensive purposes. These days it seems that old colonial territories cause often more headache than actual benefits because development of global market and rules have have decreased benefits that countries get from having colonial territories.

I'm not sure what's wrong about shutting down someone who isn't qualified to hand out dietary advice from doing so for-profit. Would you feel similarly outraged if she was offering tips on prescription drug usage? I didn't know, but looks to me like the requirements for obtaining a dietitian's license in Florida are quite stringent. That's a good thing. She doesn't get to do the same thing without undergoing proper training. What happens if someone's health is damaged from following her advice? As long as she is not presenting herself as something she's not what is the problem? Suppose you need new brakes on your car. The repair shop quotes you one price and I offer to do it in my backyard for half. Should the government be harassing me? The choice is always with the consumer. If you do a **** job on my brakes then I or someone else could die in addition to extensive damages to vehicles. Now we could blame the car owner for being a cheap bastard but if this keeps happening and damage keeps happening then perhaps the guy fiddling with brakes should be told to stop because he is doing so in a way that is creating a public health crisis. Now a bad diet isn't going to be as spectacularly lethal as a car wreck, but as the numbers man pointed out there are potentially severe health issues that can arise in a bad diet. Why do you guys assume she gives bad advices? If she would be bad then she wouldn’t have customers. Also having a license doesn't actually prevents bad diet advices. It only ensures that the wealthy will be the only ones entitled for certain jobs. It baffles me that most leftists support licenses. Licenses means that government guarantees certain level of expertise, if license holder fails to hold that level of expertise then government can be hold to be accountable for issuing license for person that didn't have enough expertise in their field to do their job. People should be allowed to buy services from people that don't have license with knowledge that quality of service that they are getting isn't guarantee by government. Although there are field where need of expertise is so high that it is understandable that they are regulated by government. I can't say if dietary advises fall under such need of high expertise that it demands government regulation. But food industry is one of most heavily regulated industries around the world, because bad food can cause epidemics among the people, which we have seen several times in past, which has lead to regulations that food industry has these days. I would point out that most people regardless of their political background support licenses, although they may have different opinion what things need licenses.

President Trump on Tuesday told Puerto Rico officials they should feel “very proud” they haven’t lost thousands of lives like in “a real catastrophe like Katrina,” while adding that the devastated island territory has thrown the nation’s budget “a little out of whack.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-praises-himself-for-administrations-great-job-in-puerto-rico/2017/10/03/fdb5eeb4-a83a-11e7-8ed2-c7114e6ac460_story.html?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.22c8b27c1813 Good to know, I was worried for bit that Puerto Rico was facing real catastrophe. But I must say that Trump shows here how brilliant leader he is. People should remember to be thankful that they aren't child facing famine in Africa, because that is bad. So sad.

People should just accept that it is "Hyvää Joulua" (Have good Yule), like we do in Finland and everybody can be miserable or happy for fact that it isn't their holiday that gets praised and there isn't constant need for battle which phrase to use during midwinter holiday season Sounds too close to "hallelujah" to ever work. It don't think that they have similar sound https://translate.google.fi/?hl=fi#fi/en/hyv%C3%A4%C3%A4%20joulua%0Ahallelujah

They say that you know that you live in free country if you can insult its institutions and symbols without fear of punishment or other forms of retaliation.

Paris agreement is non-binding voluntary agreement, so its pros and cons are, are you with other nations behind the idea that nature should be protected and emissions need to be lowered or are you not. And agreements are deals where people/nations come together and decide to do something together. And Trump as self proclaimed deal maker don't seem to have against deals (agreements) generally speaking, so he is clearly also leftist group thinker .

The Clone Wars (22–19 BBY), also known as the Clone War and the Great Clone War, was the name given to the major galactic conflict fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

You can go here and look at the actual statistics for Harvard: https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics Those numbers tell that asian americans are over represented in Harvard (22.2% of admitted students compared to 6% of population). African americans representation is about same as their percentage of population (14.6% of admitted students compared to 14% of population). Native American or Pacific Islander have are bit over represented (2.5% of admitted students compared to 0.9% of population). Hispanics or Latinos are under represented (11.6% of admitted students compared to 16.3% of population). Non-hispanic white americans are under represented (49.1% of admitted students compared to 63% of population) By this numbers show clear institutional favoritism for asian americans and it is white americans that mostly suffer from this favoritism.

This is the peak of modern jurnalism. One sided story, author is the subject of article, no proof the story actually happened. I applaud. Did you notice what section of the paper it was in ? Don't you know that letters to editor/public voice section pieces needs to be go through extreme vetting for facts these days just so that paper that publishes them could not be accused for bad journalism and even that probably would not save paper from accusations of fake news if reader don't like what they read. I mean we live in time when direct quotes with video link to person saying thing they are quoted to say are accused to be fake news attack pieces.

I cant say I have ever heard Muslims going around and saying " "Allahu Akbar" unless its in the context of some kind of terrorist attack or Jihad or military outcome But I am not really an expert on Arabic and dont really pay attention when people speak it ? It mean god is great, it is phrase which Muslims use in their five daily prayers they should do. Interestingly it is phrase which use predates Islam. I Interesting, but when its used in the context we are referring to its normally screamed aloud and only those words are used ...its definitely not used in a nice way ? It is used in several situations In prayer, as mentioned In times of distress In times of joy and gratitude Following births and deaths During the Eid Festival and the Hajj In west it is most commonly linked to Jihadists/terrorists who use it as their battle cry. It usage as battle cry by Jihadist/terrorists is probably inspired by fact Muhammad and his followers used it as their battle cry. So in sort it is used both in nice and in not nice way
