I'm not a climate scientist, but I understand there's a pretty strong consensus that humans are driving climate change. I didn't write...
A bit derivative. The original was funnier: http://lucilleandmitt.tumblr.com Much better concept. Real Mitt quotes! [spoiler] [/spoiler]
^The idea of Pigouvian taxation of pollution (e.g. a carbon tax) is based on very sound economic theory, and is supported by a lot of economists,...

Wow. No. Yugoslavia is not the example you're looking for here, at all. Its breakup was a catastrophe. If Yugoslavia had been able to remain...
This habit of calling for links for widely known facts is a novel and amusing form of trolling. I'm sure you're earning lots of EXP and will soon...
It goes without saying that children shouldn't be forced into marriage. You're not going to find a poster here who didn't already believe that, so...
