Re: Trump pardons Joe Arpaio
I would like to repeat my belief that we have accidentally fallen into a techno-thriller universe written by a mainland Chinese author. It is the only thing that makes sense anymore.

Re: Hydrogen turned into metal
Let me just say as a metallurgy geek: Wowowowowowowow!
I mean normally hydrogen is this horrible stuff we try to get rid off (it does bad things to aluminium alloys), but this is really cool!

Re: White Nationalists' Enthusiasm For Trump Cools
Radical movements tend to splinter over and over and over, since there are no real stakes (they have no power or wealth to divide) there is no motive to be reasonable. The time to worry is when the radicals present a united front, but at the same time moderate and compromise, because that usually me...

Re: Michigan just banned banning plastic bags

In Oklahoma the state government banned cities from passing minimum wage increases after the Oklahoma City and Tulsa city governments got ele...

Re: The Holocaust on Ice (Only in Russia)
Sorry but i don't see what the problem is here. What is it about an ice skating performance that makes it offensive in ways that the very silly movie that inspired it isn't? Did the Nazis decapitate people with ice skates or something? If you wonder why certain movies are acceptable, while this is ...

Re: Trump 'may have avoided paying tax for 18 years'
This just shows that he is the right man for President, Americans don't like paying taxes, and if this guy could stick it to the IRS, THE IRS, then he has the gumption you need for the job! So obviously he'll go up in the polls. Go on, be honest, isn't that reaction what you're half expecting at thi...

One of the reasons for the problems is of course that the Venezuelan government is actively blocking humanitarian aid, after all the perfect socialist economy does not need such things.

Re: Pakistani clerics say 'honour killing' is against Islam
They are not the first ones to say this, a prohibition against honor killing is mentioned in the Arabian Nights for crying out loud. This is one case where we definately have a very good case for popular behaviour going against the long term, established theological concensus of the religion.

Let me give the same answer that I gave on other forums: The reason the politicos want to be in the EU is partly political ideology, and partly that it would surely be much more fun to be able to play around in Brussels than in Oslo. Simply put a population of slightly under five million people is n...

Have I completely misunderstood or is both Trump and Sanders an expression of, "No more mainstream, humdrum same as old! Break the system and give us something actually new!" sentiments? Because there seems to be a lot of that going around.
