And then, of course, you have the actual witnesses, the pilots. But what do they know about encounters in the air. :snicker: The pilots btw. said that...

I think now it's politically correct for authorities to remind that we don't know. Like not jumping to conclusions or so.

Do notice that there has already been a discussion on the PF in the thread UFO's by @"Michael" after the Senate inquiry into the subject just two mont...

Basically there hasn't been any response to Finland and Sweden (when the time comes) joining NATO. And yes, it's been quite empty on the other side of...

Well, one can always be an optimist and look at what is good and what really bad things have not happened. And the easiest way is to put our present p...

And what does it tell when the name of your capital has been changed six times? The city that now is Kazakhstan's capital has been named Akmolinsk, Ts...

India is part of the global community and thus totally open to the influences of polarization and populism just like Finland, UK or the USA are. Popul...

The US can experience political mass shootings as uh, it's now experiencing mass shootings. Likely they will be downplayed, because nobody likes that ...

There you have it. All politics. Stop! Did you notice that you already gave the reason, the cause and the effect earlier above? There it is in a nutsh...

I think this is totally sensible that being a member of trade union is voluntary, the whole idea and participation has to come from the workers themse...

So trade unions are banned or what? I don't think so. Well, if you're workers vote and think against their own interests... either they are genuinely ...

Well, every 9 out of 10 American workers don't belong to a trade union, so I guess you are in the minority.

For trying to coerce Zelensky to do something about it, actually... Fearing to bite the hand that feeds them, I guess. But it's tragicomical how Ukrai...

Some might not see it this way, but I find duty starting from things like being a parent and being there for your children. Or being there for your pa...

Australians know him as Timbo. Best example of a media troll who says this to get popularity (and notoriety) he is happy with. Earlier he was suggesti...

It's not maturity. Spaniards that I've met are just as mature as we Finns are. It's more perhaps about poverty, weak institutions, not so great econom...

Unlikely you don't think that way, but those that think that changing your job is the cure if your salary / working conditions suck and think it's all...

If you think all collectivism is socialism, then you get what you deserve.

The question, NOS4A2? The answer? Try to avoid them! Use more precise definitions. Remember to mention if either the present or the past is in focus a...

Anybody who doesn't believe this should see for example the movie American Factory. The first thing when talking about trade unions in the US, people ...

Not to be Spain basher here, we must also remember that Spain is the example of how a fascist state then can transform itself to a democracy. Hence if...

I would think so too, to be marxist would be way off, but they surely are ideologically on the left. I think the bitter civil war and the Franco's reg...

Ok, well there's a problem here. I don't think that the majority of Spaniards and of the Spanish workforce are Marxists. Percentage of workers that ar...

Cardboard drones likely aren't as visible in radar as the ones made out of metal or plastic.

So much for that workers solidarity! Are these the largest trade unions and are they really Marxist?

Yes, but notice what there is said: What I think is happening is Russia quickly responding to a situation, not being behind it. And they have fine int...

Ummm... by "topping" I wouldn't be sure if it really is better than anywhere else, but I would say when it comes to transparency they aren't bad. Finn...

Just like the highway system, many things have become into existence because defense matters.

Those too, especially if their jillion dollars are made thanks to those contacts to politicians and influence over political decision making. Yes, Yes...

They become ones when they have lots of political power, yes. But so I guess happens to any group that has a say in public matters. However let's get ...

Or isn't it legal to strike? Yet @"Benkei"'s question is really important here. Fucking weasels in that trade union I say, that cannot then give assis...

Well, one does buy insurances for various issues and hope one isn't going to need the services. Yet even in the case of the fire department this is a ...

Marxism yes, liberalism, ummm... now just what to you is liberalism? I think you are simply disillusioned or disenchanted about the current state of t...

The simple fact is that democracy is the cause of this, and I would say rightly so. (There are naturally other reasons, but this is a structural reaso...

Few if any! And that's the worst part of it. Just look at the history: People really wanted change after the Bush years and got Obama. Then other peop...

Lol. If there wouldn't have been conscription in this country, I would never, ever have gone to the military voluntarily. Not because of opposing the ...

Well, I've learnt it's the Noam Chomsky approach: you only criticize your own leaders (or leaders of the West, if you are Western). Others can critici...

I don't work for the government and am not an official. Yet as a reservist I have voluntarily trained other reservists, so that's I guess the closest ...

Great way to say that: I agree, a moneyless society is genuinely and literally wealth free. Poverty is abundant and people can often experience a fami...

Lol. Obviously coming from an American. Well, in smaller expandable countries where the people have to have fought just to survive as a people, the fe...

So do I. But Americans simply have to understand that the present system can totally change, and actually quite quickly. The naive thing is to think t...

Because not all party political systems are braindead or not working. But I guess you will not hear anything about it in your hate of political partie...

You do understand that this is the way that the two parties hold on to power: the other side is so bad, so evil, that you have to vote for us, because...

The classic liberal starts from the individual, for example from the rights of the individual. Yet people function as members of a community and membe...

Or simply the payment for the services they provide is called taxes. You are intentionally dropping crucial things here that the sociologist Max Weber...

Because now you are putting the enforcers also work as legislators. When the military has a bigger role in politics, just look at the consequences in ...

Obviously. If it wasn't for them, then you surely would have genuine protection rackets being run. At least in the long run. Actually this would be an...

Usually there is. Or was the question if in universeness idea there would be. I'm not sure about that, ask him. https://i0.wp.com/www.politicalscience...

There isn't any nation that does so. Icelandic and Costa Rican police do get their pay through taxes.

In my view giving the military a "stakeholder" status wouldn't be a good decision, as obviously the military and the police are part of the executive ...
