*facepalm" I think you're too near sighted to read properly...

Lmao. Just like Trump about his son meeting Russians. Of all the dishonesty and lies you've been dumping on this forum I think that one sentence takes...

Nobody has this because it's not an existing condition. It also has nothing to do with the examples you raise. Of course the headline will be "Trump s...

Blocked for EU IP addresses.

I enjoyed reading that from a literary perspective.

Hmmm... that's pretty fucking insane.

So what does it say about the Netherlands we can set up an entire production line for ICU-ventilators in about 2 to 3 weeks but we cannot produce our ...

Cool. Have fun with 30 billion GDP cost associated with it. I'm done. I hope you're one of the people that gets hit by those costs and not people who ...

They voted for brexit, not a no deal Brexit. So the statement isn't bullshit at all.

So, trade deals don't matter? Why bother getting one with other countries then? Oh wait... You just bleat whatever fits your current argument and lose...

They stand for wall street. That power house of femininity and emancipation. In other words, nobody in power gives a shit about Tara.

@"Chester" Look! The English are ahead of the curve!

Not at district level as you pretended. The results of the referendum as a reflection of the will of the people were inconclusive, since not everybody...

For fuck's sake. That political system really is the worst. In the Netherlands parliamentary members and government appointees are vetted by their res...

Happy to vote for a rapist because Trump is one too but yours is a Democrat?

Did you read the statistical research paper proving your point wrong? Or is actual research a problem for you? The referendum wasn't first past the po...

Also, more generally: for someone who's so wary about politicians as you say you are you certainly have swallowed the Tory story hook line and sinker....

Who's "we"? Only half did of those who voted. Statistically you cannot even conclude there was a majority. See: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source...

You're wasting your time. He doesn't care about facts.

That or the USA is a banana Republic.

Which is it? Either we were so smart we managed to wrangle and cheat the English for decades as you've asserted or we're dim? We can't be both. I'm Du...

I'm referring to Kavanaugh and in his case he lied when giving testimony. Whether he raped the woman or not doesn't need to be established. The fact t...

Lying to ensure you get a cushy job is about his current character and fitness for the job as a judge. I would've hoped there's not that much subjecti...

Well, Sturgeon has been demanding an indyref2. And I do see a unification of Ireland eventually. I think those two could happen, especially considerin...

On what time scale? Is the rest of the world spontaneously going to want UK goods if the UK is out of the EU? Unlikely no? Probably that trade will fi...

yup. Especially for double stranded rna.

Hang then both and be done with it.

That will be highly unlikely considering this is now endemic. More proof utilitarianism is a stupid ethical system then! :razz:

Because the elderly don't shop where you do and everybody is aware of any comorbidities they might have? I get it, statistically you personally pose a...

Three? They're saturated in about 15 minutes...

It's because leftists tends to be collectivist and therefore also worry about others, even in the abstract, and you only worry about yourself or your ...

And even that depends on the masks. The ones with the hard plastic filters upfront don't protect others from the wearer. In Dutch they're called "expi...

Kavanaugh was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I don't accept US jurisdiction in international contracts any more.

In what way? And even if it were true, would that be more or less open then with other countries in the world? And even if that were worse than with o...

Your facts are not contrary to my facts. So what's your point? Is the EU an important trading partner to the UK or not? The rest of the world is 6.75 ...

I think the Chinese manufactured the virus to kill as many Americans as possible. That's why it targets fat people.

The exports to the EU are almost 2.5 times than to the US. A country by country comparison doesn't make sense. Whether a trade deficit is good or bad ...

I unfortunately don't have a lot of time these days to react in depth to your considerate posts. Just a few quick snippets where you'd have to think o...

This effect is always mentioned and I have never ever seen research into it proving it.

Well, I'm certainly not talking about population density as the average for an entire country if that was the impression I gave.

They're not comparable due to different moments of starting measures and different types of measures. Population density has an obvious effect on R0 b...

I think population density is an important factor where the rate of infection is concerned. All things being equal though total population numbers onl...

And from a strict economic perspective also totally wrong. Unemployment is the lubricant of our labour market. Without a pool of willing employees, yo...

Just as an example, Dutch pension scheme associations (PSA) have invested about 25% in low risk bonds from countries like the Netherlands and Germany ...

Well, I worked in finance for quite some time and was interested in it before that. So ask me whatever you want to know and I'll try to answer it (I d...

I'm not saying not to do it. I'm saying you need to solve this problem. Large PSAs and banks are large holders of government bonds that they hold on b...

It will also evaporate most pensions so you need to think of something there.

I am very specifically talking about deaths though. I'm not sure what damage you're talking about.

Actually, they definitely could. Just not the number of jets Boeing or Airbus build and not at a similar price point.
