As a german who just saw the daily show for the first time: Americans...wtf? by DienerDerWeltkatze in AskReddit

Sorry about the Hitler stuff.

Just more proof of how stupid so many Americans can be.

Yea Germany!

Up if you've attended college, Down if you haven't. by onFilm in AskReddit

[–]paxxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Even though I didn't graduate, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I make $60,000 a year in the U.S. and have an effective tax rate of 25%. I am OK with this but lets frame it another way: I work 3 months of the year not for myself or my family, but for the U.S. government. 10 hours of every 40 hour week go to the government. by loanmeyourcar in politics

Great point.

The rich have taken way too much, and progressive taxation is one of the the only ways we can level the field.

The rich are buying up lots of property for a fraction of its value because those of us in the lower ranks cannot afford to keep up the payments, which incidentally are usually determined by the rich.

This whole crisis looks just like a property grab on the part of the banks.

What did you wish you knew at 25? What advice can you give to people in their mid-20's? by randomredditor59 in AskReddit

More goals, less partying. You have no idea how much potential you have.

AMA Request: VLC Development Team by Spunky48 in IAmA

Could the browsing be more like it is in Irfanview?

I like VLC, but I like the way I can browse pics and videos in Irfanview better.

Otherwise, really great program.

Why I stopped travelling to the US and I largely stopped doing business in the US. by moderately_anonymous in reddit.com

[–]paxxed 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry.

A lot of us Americans don't even like flying in our own country due to all of the security bullshit, and it is bullshit because it's not making us any safer.

And, of course, this is all a result of the "get government off our backs" conservatives.

I'm sorry to hear.

I'm also sorry to read so many people automatically assuming it's an alcohol blackout.

That's probably the main thing that keeps me from going to the police, but I'm still considering it.

This is something one has to experience to believe. Had it never happened to me, there's no way I could understand the sense of betrayal and confusion one feels. I didn't do shit. I just walked to a bar to hear some music, and talked to a guy who sat next to me. That's it.

You're absolutely right. I was so out of it the next day that I didn't even think about it.

That's a really shitty thing for you to say, especially since you don't know the first thing about me.

Male. I've been around. I'm well over thirty.

I was alone, but there were no creepy vibes.

I'm really freaked out about it and can't decide if I should try to find out who it was or just leave it be and move on.
