You're telling me that if a country uses it's natural resources for the good of it's people instead of the profit of a few individuals they're evil?

The US is sitting on a ton of oil as well. Not like Norway obviously, but they still soundly beat Finland and Sweden. Both of which are "socialist paradises".

Norway: 554.244 bbl/day per 1,000 people
Denmark: 57.387 bbl/day per 1,000 people
United States: 28.083 bbl/day per 1,000 people
Finland: 1.709 bbl/day per 1,000 people
Sweden: 0.26 bbl/day per 1,000 people

What's the context here? Seems a bit harsh. If it's over something like his son being gay then that's just out of order.

Earlier on I was reading about the wikipedia drama surrounding the page for Londonderry/Derry. I found it kind of interesting that wikipedia refer to the city as Derry instead of its official name of Londonderry because as an encyclopaedia I feel that they should be striving to be factual instead of appeasing a certain side.

I think it is trying to be informative, but they could have done a much better job.

I think if it had broken down the various turban/facial hair combinations it would have been more informative.

My favourite part of that image is the caption of "Taliban members". How did that get past the editor?

I remember seeing this published sometime around 2002, with a couple other forms of headgear added. It was in response to some fuckhead after 9/11 saying we should arrest anyone wearing a turban or something.

Haha, yeah, those oil rich countries of Sweden, Finland and Iceland.
One nation has oil and the colonies of the Danes has oil, you klutz. Which leaves most of them without.
And haha, if you think that Alaska is even close to being social democratic, by gawd.

It was only recently that I found out that Putin is a really tiny little guy. I guess all the media and imagery I'd passively taken in made me assume he was a big guy but no, he's the same size as Sarkozy.



Also, for some reason I thought he had a fairly deep voice, but I listened to his voice the other day without dubbing talking over him (my girlfriend is from Russia and was raging over some speech he gave) and it wasn't what I imagined. Here's a video of him speaking English.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyqAFO7RJeg

Basically, I was really kinda shocked at how I managed to passively eat up all of this propaganda about the guy. I recognized some of the more blatant things as propaganda, like his shirtless hunting and vase diving but I seriously fell for a lot of the more stubtle stuff.

Despite his size he's still very intimidating.
