#15 But a lot of us do not want to live in low-rent housing, packed into a building with a bunch of other people; and we are willing to pay extra to have our own house with our own yards on our own property.
#5 This would be more effective if the 'before' shot were a bicycle, because much, maybe most, of the work involved in inventing the airplane was done in the bicycle industry. The Wright brothers themselves were bicycle makers and repairmen. From Wiki:
"...Their work with bicycles, in particular, influenced their belief that an unstable vehicle such as a flying machine could be controlled and balanced with practice. This was a trend, as many other aviation pioneers were also dedicated cyclists and involved in the bicycle business in various ways..."
Also, in 1903, more people were traveling by horse and bicycle than by car. We went from horses to the moon landing in one lifetime.
#14 If you're well enough to dance, stop talking about how depressive you are. Just stop. What you call depression is not depression, it's emotional strain. If you were clinically depressive enough, your body would not allow you to dance. What most people call depression is nothing more than emotion. Clinical Depression is physical, and you cannot Kumbaya your way out of it, no matter how new age, airy fairy think your way out of it.
#20 Religion, with its invisible friends and magical fairy tales, is nothing more than an acceptable form of Schizophrenia. Adults with invisible friends are called schizophrenic. Imagine an adult telling you he or she believes in Santa Claus. Imagine someone telling you they've seen Sasquatch. Imagine someone telling you he or she can change water into wine by 'waving of hands'. That's what it's like listening to you - like listening to someone who is hallucinating.
#24 I've been saying this for decades. The only thing I would change is 35 yo. Most people stop listening to newer music by the time they're 25. I've been playing and singing music all my (long) life. I play everything from Bach to Tupac. So, I'm keenly aware of the concept of people imprinting on the music they listened to in high school and collage. And yes, I do consider it a form of imprinting, such as what happens in the animal world.
#26 haha I like how they translate 'Soccer Pitch' for the Murcans.
#29 That 'study' was done by the airline industry, and it's so extremely biased that it's basically a straight up lie. I'm not awake enough to expound on it, but look it up. ...However, motorcycles are still the most dangerous way to go. Just not to the degree that chart claims.

#29 That's pure BS, if that was true all the motorcyclists would be dead by now
you need to go study statistical probability.
Wow, your comment on #4 is about as dumb as it gets. Sounds like you may have some inbreeding in your family line.
Shouldn't there be a nice dark blue spot about the middle of Italy? Or are they just admitting it's a tax dodge...
Given the size of the Vatican, and the scale of the map, it could be the blue dot is just too small to perceive.
We're also assuming this map and this Izi post is accurate and truthful.
It's how you get eight great Somalis in that little bitty can.*
