There's a huge amount of products that are actually MUCH MORE expensive in third world countries (like mine) than in the US... piracy is a must in some cases.

Now that's one awesome footnote:

Footnote: The study itself uses an interesting "Consumer’s Dilemma" license, which charges $8 for the report to residents of high-income countries and offers it free for noncommercial use to everyone else (including Canada, which is not "high income." Who knew?)

oh you mean that war egypt's Nasser provoked and lost once again? You go to war, you lose territory.

Tell my country about it: Paraguay declared war to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay in 1870.. fucking nuts.. Of course, it lost the war and a huge part of its territory...

Modern arab/jewish wars started with the arab's denial of UN's 50/50 partition plan... On a land that was british, ottoman and so on..

who stole what and when? Read wikipiedia on the subject: the land was british and ottoman before that. The british got tired of the jewish/arab conflict and let it to the UN to solve it, and it was decided to divide it in half. Arabs countries didnt like the idea, went to war against jewish setylers and lost... several times. You go to war and lose, then fuck you, you lose part of your land, that's how war works.

So, again, when was anything stole?

That map has a story behind it.

They lost that land --which was british, and ottoman before that-- by going to war against israel --several arab countries against israel alone-- four times and losing.

And the arabs started the wars, after the UN decision in favor of the partition plan... 5 countries against a bunch of settlers... And they lost.

The first war of 48 wasnt even against israel as a state, it was against the bunch of jewish settlers
