    I'm beginning to think that the biggest mistake is democracy and giving everyone the right to vote.   Half the population will be lower than average intelligence who are given exactly the same voting power as their more intelligent counterparts.  Kind of bonkers really.   How many anti-democratic states have embraced the nightmares of multi-culturalism, or net zero, or women with penises?   None.   

    Which democracies voted for open borders and mass migration?

    so you would have been one of those people cheering on the fight rather than trying to intervene?

     

    Breaking up a catfight between two ladyboys in a culture alien to you without even knowing what started it.

    Good luck with that.

    Chlorinated chicken is the poster-boy product for all that is wrong with US food... but even if they allowed it in, pretty much no-one would buy it because of its infamous rep. As long as food stuffs are clearly labeled, then who cares?

    It's a little bit nanny state BS to say that people are too stupid to make decisions for themselves on what to buy if clearly labelled... if you buy the likes of chlorinated chicken, then you deserve the consequences for being a complete moron.

    The last time you went swimming in a public pool, you immersed yourself in chlorinated water.

    When I was a teen, the French were up in arms about the use of Le Weekend. English has adopted words from many languages - verandah comes from India for instance. Thais have made their lives easier by using the English word computer, although there was an official Thai word created by the Royal Institute: เครื่องอิเล็กทรอนิกส์คำนวณและประมวลผล meaning "An electronic device for calculating and processing."

    I guess people do prefer easy over official words.

    The Royal Institute words for computer you quote is a definition of a computer, not an equivalent.
