In some countries, the European Union officially authorized drugs, and recently seen in Germany nightlife, where people quite freely even take hard drugs.
I think that within the European Union, only Portugal has legalized the hard drugs. And even there, it is more of a de-facto legalization than a de-jure legalization. More and more countries are inclined towards legalizing the soft-drugs. Uruguay and Netherlands are examples. I don't believe that legalization of drugs can lead to a positive result. More than that I'd gradually moved away from the legalization of alcohol and Smoking. Legalization of alcohol and Smoking have made some sort of positive experience? Drug legalization has positive results everywhere it was implemented. Why don't you study the after-effects of the drug legalization in Portugal? There was a sharp decline in crime and deaths from drug overdose. And within a few years, the number of drug users also started to decline. |

This is what happens when instruments of death are readily available to anyone with the money to buy it,
The guns are readily available, because the authorities are not doing their job. They are not preventing the mental patients from buying guns. Also, they can't stop the flow of illegal fire-arms from across the border (Mexico). |

Its highly doubtful they can do that seeing how they are blaming the Russians for everything thats happened.
They need to find a scapegoat, right? They are not ready to admit that they lost the POTUS elections because they fielded a weak candidate. In that case, the donors will ask them to return the campaign donations. So claiming that they lost the elections as a result of the Russian hacking is convenient to everyone. |

Interestingly in all countries, officials steal. On the forum no one said that in his country, officials honest. It turns out that theft is a common issue in all countries. Why then do we need these officials?
Contrary to your belief, there are a number of countries, where the officials are not allowed to "steal". Switzerland is a perfect example. Outside of Europe, Singapore would make a good example. Japan, to some extent is also free from political corruption. |

It is clear that this guy suffered from some form of serious mental illness. The question is, if that was the case, then why was he allowed to carry his handgun? It must have been confiscated by the authorities, as soon as the tests confirmed his illness.

In order to wage a (real) war, they must have a fully functional army. I don't think that the British army is capable of waging war against anyone, much less Russia. Just admit it. The United Kingdom is no longer a superpower.

Could you hate a religion that propages a message of violence? Of suicide bombings? Of crashing airplanes with innocent passengers? Of killing babies while shouting Allah Akbar?
Answer that question, my friend. Because as distasteful as this question is, it is the question.
Islam is a religion which grew solely as a result of violence and murder. The same could be said about certain denominations of Christianity, but they changed their ways many hundreds of years ago. |

This is good because they can't cover all the expenses and as far as I know students take a large loan for their studies.
Taking large loans will also put pressure on them. They will be tempted to opt for low paying jobs, rather than trying for higher education. IMO, the government should provide a small handout, to the top 10% or 20% of the students. Interest on education loan is not so high that it is not a problem. The problem is to find first job. Then the state should help the students. Unfortunately a global trend to reduce the number of jobs that delay beginning. Even if they get good jobs, the students struggle to repay the educational loans. This is due to the steep rise in tuition fees. The government must make education free, and the problem will be resolved. |

In America are very careful animals. In Russia, poisoned stray dogs, and they die in agony. In the USSR even on city streets went brigade flayers with hunting rifles and were shooting at stray dogs. Barbaric country!!!
If that is the case, then good for the Russians. So it is confirmed that in Russia, they give priority to humans over the stray dogs. On the other hand, in the United States it is the other way around. |

In my opinion everyone loses no winner for WW3.
Nope. During the past two world wars, there were both winners and losers (unfortunately, Germany had the misfortune of ending up in the losing side every time). This time also, it will be the same. |

So what's your solution?
Huge camps to get rid of refugees?
No. Deportation to their home countries. These "rapefugees" does not belong to Germany. If they want, then they can go to the other Muslim nations, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. |

How to stop terrorism is simple, send them all back where they came from and leave them alone or genocide them.  That is the best solution, but anyone pursuing it will be branded as a Nazi and psychopath by the ultra-left thugs. But this is the only solution that is going to end terrorism permanently. |

Kiribati sounds fine. Island, warm and sunny, parlamentary republic and ex-colony of the UK. I think this is the best solution. Or just to stay where you are and try to survive somehow.
I am afraid that Kiribati is not a very wise choice. It is a group of low lying coral islands, already threatened by the rising sea levels. Nuclear strikes will cause the polar ice caps to melt, and these islands will be submerged under many meters of seawater. |

Gold is at from stable. There is plenty of volatility in gold prices. Compared to Bitcoin it may look more stable, but any gold chart of sufficient length will give you enough data to see that gold suffers from volatility in the short run.
At least when compared to Bitcoin, gold is far more stable. One of the reasons is that the market cap of gold is between $5 and $6 trillion, while that of Bitcoin is less than $15 billion. So for a 1% change in the gold price, there must be at least $50 billion worth of market cap change. You obviously omit a few important things First, the market cap of both gold and Bitcoin reflects the total amount of these assets, produced or mined, respectively, while the price is determined by the amount traded. We don't know how many bitcoins are traded, while with gold it is only a small part of all gold out there. The rest is either stashed away for centuries, or used in jewelry and electronics as well as other industries. Further, there is a multi-trillion market of gold derivatives (so-called paper gold), which heavily distorts the price determination mechanism. In this manner, the comparison of market caps makes no particular sense If the Bitcoin exchange rates increase in the future, then it will also become more similar to gold. Most of it will be hoarded, and only a small amount will be actively traded. Also, Bitcoin derivatives will appear in the market, once the popularity reaches a certain threshold. |

It makes me laugh that most of the people commenting negative things about Trump do not even live in the United States. The majority of the American people voted for him because they were tired of the crap that has been going on. Trump actually has some great policy.
You know the reason, right? Trump wants to keep the factory jobs in the United States. Already Ford has cancelled plans for a billion dollar factory in Mexico. Non-Americans are losing out from the Trump presidency. So it is not surprising to see so many of them badmouthing Trump. |

Yes, Arabs will be forced to start wars when oil demand drops to zero. Their domestic non-oil related production is not existent. They import everything. I can't agree with your statement. It is the high oil prices, which enable these countries to get involved in so many wars and conflicts. Once the oil money runs out, they will not have the means to start wars. |

Even though he cant stop all drug related problems within the specified time he will do a lot to minimize and eventually root it out.
I am afraid that the recent dip in the drug crime is only a temporary phenomenon. Once Duterte is overthrown and the vigilantes are put behind bars, the drug gangs will return. Duterte is not going to stay as the president forever. |
