The European Commission didn't learn the same thing from the Scandinavian Model. Quite the opposite.
One thing one must be wary of is that a lot of the criticism of the Scandinavian model comes from pro-prostitution organizations that are actually not in the hands of the sex-workers themselves, but of the brothel…

Well, if you were a WoW boss, you'd have millions of people devoted to know with chilling accuracy every little bit of your behaviour :D

I've seen some of the most conservative catholic groups trying to stage a comeback of literalism, precisely because of how popular protestant fundamentalism is, and how envious these conservative catholics are of how well the protestant fundamentalism is working in the matter of conversions.

That might be a first impression of evolution, but the survival of the fittest more often than not means "survival of the luckiest" than "survival of the betters". For example humans, we are a product of the evolution in a harsh, dry and cold earth. These environmental circumstances produce generalists: life forms…

The view of the church on the matter is not that evolution had the purpouse of creating humans, but that god used evolution to create humans. It's an equivalent view to that of god using the hands of the believers to help those in need, rather than doing it directly.

I'm not a christian catholic, btw, i'm an…

You know, this is why i think that classism is a problem that is worse and more urgent than any other, in terms of social ideology. More than racism, sexism, ageism, ableism... Why? Because even the most egregious racists or sexists acknowledge that, in principle, everybody should have the same rights and should not…

Yes, after both our cultures have looked at the world centered around themselves. In the minds of some Spaniards, at least until a couple of decades ago, America was still "a Spanish thing", and the US and Brazil just English and Portuguese theft. Of course, the fact that Spain stole it from the natives doesn't cross…

I've just checked and have seen that in the English-speaking countries you go with that definition of continents. In Spain at least, we talk about the 5 continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Oceania, with Antarctica being the 6th continent but not really, because it's uninhabitted. Interesting that we learn…

Spanish Sahara isn't gone, just under foreign occupation and awaiting for a referendum that will never happen :(

Wait, Australia isn't a continent, is it? Isn't Oceania the continent?

I think you misunderstood her. HMC was talking about the ethnicity of Nina Pham, and if her dog will be killed, unlike Bentley (and like the Spanish nurse's), due to it.

Because the protests against the govt. due to its handling of the ebola were raising, and the govt. needed to be seen acting decisively and doing something. Anything.

And this is why religious schools need to have their teaching licences revoked.

Is this really a case of racism? We are assuming that the father is looking for "cool black kids" because they are "tough". Seeing how the add is in New Orleans, it's possible that the kid is in a school where most other kids are black. If the kid has an innate difficulty to make friends, and as a result is bullied,…

I don't know how it's over there, but in Spain we still have flea markets where re-sellers who collect the almost free factory leftovers resell for a large price markdown. Well, if you know how to haggle, which i don't (this is what my mother does).

Yeah. Surprise of surprises. In Spain many of us are against bullfighting, and we feel a visceral disgust at having our country identified with that disgusting farce.

Oh come on, it's not rocket science. My mom had been doing everything at my parents house, and since i went to China for work, i have been able to wash my clothes, cook and do the dishes from day one (after a couple of phone calls to my mom). The apartment isn't pristine, but it's decently clean.

I would like to see an all-female Ghostbusters movie. I think it shouldn't be a remake, though.

It would be. I think it shouldn't be a remake, though.

Next advice by the police for women to prevent rape: "Don't be women, be men".
