One thing I think the whole tragedy has highlighted is that the word "terrorism" has really cemented itself in our society and political consciousness.
What I find interesting is how quickly the media jumped to use the word "terrorism".

There are so many great TED talks that it's really hard to pick just one, especially as what we find inspirational may vary from day to day, as well as the fact that "inspirational" is quite a loose concept in itself, and doesn't make clear what it is that we wish to be inspired to do.

I'd say so. There are three main issues I have with Snapchat:
1) It's not as secure as you might think.
2) It encourages people to share things they'll probably regret.

Hi Sam, this is a very good question - for her supporters, every improvement in general welfare since the 1980s is down to her ideals and policies.

So far, I'm quite impressed with it. It seems to have a similar niche that Yahoo Answers has. That's my first stop when I need to ask a question. I think that Blurtit needs to mould it's niche around the community aspect a lot. Yahoo Answers obviously has quite a strong sense of community, with … Read more

Opinions are also going to be dependent on whether you consider yourself a beneficiary of her policies, or a victim, and on your political affiliation (which is often bizarrely not related to your … Read more

Evolution is a messy set of useful characterisitics that hang around because they work (help us survive and reproduce), and the ones that make us nice to each other are no exception.

I don't believe that the current situation on the Korean peninsula will escalate into a full blown war. The North Korean regime (or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as it is known) has one goal: Survival. It will not achieve this through launching missiles against the United States. If war did break out, the … Read more
This seems to be one of the most divisive questions of the 21st Century; at its root a simple case of brand preference, it seems to be an issue with the capability to reduce otherwise rational, socially adjusted individuals to near violent … Read more
I think it depends which ones you get, really. I've taken the usual multivitamins that you get in chemists, and not noticed any real differences.
Berocca
The only multivitamins that I've actually noticed a difference from taking are Berocca, or own-brand equivalents - Boots' version is much cheaper, and is the one I go for. The orange … Read more
