there's a reason for this: we constantly seek to fit into groups, limited as they may seem. We constantly grade, label and separate ourselves from the throng (even though I innermost desire might be to belong to the throng). We seek to distinguish ourselves and be unique. I'm sure the Wright brothers weren't thinking "we're doing this for the betterment of mankind"... yet they might've held (or not) personal views on race or culture...

true, but you can see this in so many ways (I choose the blue pill, for once):
- It could be some introvert who's therapist told him "go out and talk to people" but he feels needs to make it up to them for that.
- He can be doing a term paper, a doctorate's or actual real-life research, and it's cheaper to do it this way (although the sample would be skewed).
- He can use that knowledge to enrich other people's lifes (imagine he's a tour guide by profession. this adds so much colour to storytelling).
- While he might not use things just as they are told, knowledge of those life stories will surely enrich his, especially if he is an artist, and he can channel that knowledge into his art.

They were never in the Middle East. Afghanistan is in Central Asia. Wrap your heads around the fact that not every Muslim country is "Middle East" and that it's 3000 km from Kirkuk to Kabul.
And if you mean "Russia fighting muslim insurgents", well, let's not forget the lengths they went to, to crush the Chechen rebels.

The brilliant minimum wage machine 30 comments

Minimum wage in my country is 530€ per month (on a 40-hour week basis), and about 20% of the employed population makes minimum wage.
Average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment outside the capital is about 300€. Inside the capital it's twice that.
There is a (rather) strong belief among politicians and businessmen that minimum wage should be abolished because "it encourages people not to work harder because they already make enough money to live on". lol. of course, those who say it do not live on 530€/month...

In most American states that would mess up with the "liquor license" status quo. Also, drinking from an open container on the street is illegal. If you want to drink indoors, just order in.... :)

Actually I've never heard of anyone advocate Sharia Law in countries other than predominantly Muslim ones (except one crackpot Imam in London, but no-one took him seriously).
Many Muslims (outside ISIS) are resentful of foreign interference in their countries, so it's easy to capitalize on that.
"Sharia Law in the USA" is a pretty good punk song by The Kominas, tho'. I highly recommend this band, they are funny af at self-criticism and their religion, but still manage to rub salt in the "western" wound.

While I don't consider myself to be any where aligned with the views of that man on the bus, I'm calling bullshit on this one.
I'd pay a ticket to watch, I'd do backflips and clap (at the same time) to see this happen IRL, but I'm calling bullshit for now.
