Yeah, most times when it's really hot in Europe the humidity is low. Also being at a higher latitude than Hong Kong, the sun isn't as relentless. These factors make the heat much less oppressive than the sauna in Hong Kong or Taiwan.

Not for me, I hate frost and snow (not that Scotland is ideal either!), give me the Mediterranean or California any day.

I genuinely don't consider 15 minute walks short hahahaha.

Why should not USA use finland as a bait to russia like it does now in media all the time, just 5 million peeps in the north-nowhere.. Nobody would miss them nor even notice they would disappear.


WHO CARES?

/huh?

When it is about you and your own family I suppose you care? Well, everyone in the world is you as in a matter of i, person, personality and having a family. It does not make the difference what is number of human population in the world. You still want to practise your thing and not want to be invisible and swiped into islam etc. I think you should care as some bigger than you might care about you and not stomping over you.

I cannot see argiculture in your statement, agriculture has roots of caring.
I think you took Ariete's statement too seriously.

And on an academic point, I would argue that agriculture does not have roots of caring, but rather contains the roots of social stratification, the class system, territorial conflict, and slavery. Quite the opposite of caring.

Contemporary Danish Kingdom


Islanders in motorboats first drive the whales into a bay. The chase may be lengthy. The exhausted, terrified and confused whales are eventually driven into the shallows. Here the bloodbath begins. The islanders repeatedly hammer 2.2 kg metal gaffs into the living flesh of each whale until the hooks hold. A 15 cm knife is then used to slash through the blubber and flesh to the spinal column. Next the main blood vessels are severed. The blood-stained bay is soon filled with horribly mutilated and dying whales.

You can't do that cruelty and remain fully sane.
Nevertheless, the question is, why does Denmark accept such thing?
