Exactly. It falls into the category of things that aren't totally unreasonable to say but will rightly expose you as a douche if you do say them.

Probably because it's quite consciously a rip-off of the Kinder Bueno, not the Kinder Buena.

Also, this is just a Cadbury's rip-off of Kinder's Bueno bar which is similarly aimed at women.

And body shape doesn't determine femininity, but you're not going to seriously suggest that women who feel bad about their body should just realise that and presto! solve their problems...

That isn't the F/G round Carroll Gardens way?

As I said somewhere else, this comment wasn't "don't comment, you can afford to study abroad" but rather "how can you say there's a massive currency crisis when you're able to transfer tens of thousands of dollars out of the country to study here?". That point is a fair one to make.

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. Her comment wasn't "don't talk about this, you aren't suffering from it and therefore can't comment" but rather "these capital controls aren't causing a crisis - you're coming to Harvard and transferring tens of thousands of dollars out of the country annually, how can…

I'd be careful about taking that at face value, for one farmers aren't 'most of the country'. Argentina's rather wealthy by regional standards and is as urbanised as Germany - and more urbanised than the United States (88% to 77%) and in total only 5% of the workforce works in agriculture. The farmers aren't poor…

Indeed. This seems to be the sort of myopic hatchet job you'd expect from someone who only reads about Latin America in the Wall Street Journal...

To be fair, I don't like the stance of the Cardinals on this but he's not making a ridiculous point in a French context.

You can get marinara at the thousand-odd Subways which dot the country...

I think it was fair enough when what happened is, unquestionably, against French law.

No, they don't.

It strikes me that there's rather a large leap from wanting at least one female nominee to demanding a 40% quota. The idea that there is not a woman who would want this position and be qualified for it is ridiculous. That such a woman might not fit into the German bankers' club that is the ECB is another issue.

I sympathise with the latter part of what you said, but the big difference between before the Gulf War and the Gulf War/after is that soldiers aren't allowed to spend time out and about like in previous wars. In Vietnam US soldiers could go around Saigon, in Afghanistan when they're not out on official business…

You remember it?

Gonna get super nerdy here and show off mah Israel skillz, but that photo's *probably* not a real salute to Prince Harry. I think it's old as even in the Armored Corps nowadays they've dropped the Galil, as far as I know.

Why is it not your place to judge?

It isn't that their hands are tied by bureaucracy as much as NICE balance life quality (key thing, that) with cost. There's an entire rather morbid equation to determine the cost of any particular non-labour input for medical care balance against quality of life expectancy called the Quality-Adjusted Life Year. A…

No, like, seriously, there's no way they have an impact. If you've ever looked on the back of these devices they'll have a CE sign (or, for the US, an FCC sign and in most cases both) indicating that any equipment that emits a signal falls within the acceptable frequency range for consumer goods. These do differ in…
