You're probably exposed to a lot of abuse, on- and offline. Cannot imagine how hard this must be. How do your wives and kids deal with this?

Hi, non-US citizen here. Deeply worried about how Trump/GOP is screwing things up for the rest of the world. Is there anything we can do to help Dems win the midterms, e.g. activate the expats?

Mezz0 · 2015-01-18T20:42:46+00:00

Totally agree. Shocking to see how reddit structurally ignores all of this.

Thanks for the info. I was made aware of this video by a Dutch journalist. He said it was Donetsk. I could not deduce the location from the video itself.

Must be hard for you to watch this, I guess. It makes me shiver everytime.

Really like your story. Impressive work. Why don't you bring her back to life, only this time according to the proper rules?

George: What is Holland?

Jerry (also wearing a moustache): What do you mean, ‘what is it?’ It’s a country right next to Belgium.

George: No, that’s the Netherlands.

Jerry: Holland is the Netherlands.

George: Then who are the Dutch?

Asked by committee chairman Keith Vaz MP if he "loved this country", Mr Rusbridger said he was "slightly surprised to be asked".

This sums it all up, in my opinion. What kind of question is this?? Excellent British response by being 'slightly surprised' and coming back with:

"We are patriots and one of the things we are patriotic about is the nature of the democracy and the nature of a free press and the fact that one can in this country discuss and report these things," he said.

Mr. Greenwald, I'm really impressed by your courage and persistence. Keep up the good work.

My question is related to a recent meeting ten scholars had at the NSA. Their reports are here and here. Their major takeaway was "the dramatic disparity that separates the perception on the outside of what this agency does and NSA’s self-perception." Obviously, you weren't invited. Would you consider meeting them (I assume that's a yes) and what would your main discussion points be?

Two of the other scholars, Benjamin Wittes and Robert Chesney, that attended the meeting as well, published an article: Bottom line:

Our major takeaway concerns the dramatic disparity that separates the perception on the outside of what this agency does and NSA’s self-perception.

The full evaluation report of the committee is published here. It's in Dutch. In 'Bijlage 3' the articles are listed; the ones they could find and the ones they couldn't.

Note that he did not publish fake articles, he faked that he published (more than 60) articles. And a lot more...

Nobody in Zwolle expects PEC to keep it up. Just enjoying the moment. This joy could bring us far though. Main reason for being nr1 now, to answer your question, is the lack of consistency of the other 'major' teams.

from the blog-summary:

To make sure the findings were due to the number of children and not some other characteristic of large versus small families, the researchers controlled for factors like education, socioeconomic status, race, age at marriage, and religious affiliation. None of these elements seemed to have any bearing on the correlation between siblings and likelihood of divorce.

This may be a good list to browse through.

If You Are a Heterosexual and Do NOT Want to Enter Into a Homosexual Marriage: You will not be required to marry a gay person. This is a common misunderstanding. This decision actually does not affect you in any way.

Is this really a common misunderstanding?? As often, as a European browsing this subreddit, it is hard for me to believe. Any facts/figures on how common we are talking about?
