Describe Cocaine Heroin And People Organ Country Kosovo

Is Kosovo going to survive as a country, what does the future hold?

Sure, why wouldn’t it?Kosovo is currently recognised by 58% of the UN nation states (including three of the ‘big five’ nations in the UNSC), 82% of EU members and 86% of NATO nations, and this number is set to grow. It seems even Serbia is beginning to accept the inevitable and since 2013, has been working with the EU to normalise relations with Kosovo, there have even been rumours of a possible ‘land swap’ between the two as a possible compromise in return for Serbian recognition/acceptance.Kosovo is classed as a lower-middle income economy, but its economy is steadily growing , as the political situation in the country is becoming much more stable. Corruption is an issue in Kosovo, as it is with all nations, with Kosovo ranking 85th out of 185 countries, actually lower than other ‘established’ countries, such as Brazil. Continued economic growth and EU support will counter corruption in the next few years.The main issues facing Kosovo are its continuing issues with Serbia and non-recognition and levels of corruption. Therefore, the future would dictate either Kosovo moving forward as a recognised nation and member of the UN, with a more stable economy and lower corruption rates, or the continuation of its status quo.

The Netherlands: How would you describe Dutch culture?

Thanks for the A2A, Sinha.I will stick to the major points that immediately stand out to people from other cultures. Most of this is based on my own experiences when I went to Japan and the Japanese citizens were suddenly faced with a Dutch barbarian (that would be me!).Dutch directness. This quickly became a popular phrase among my Japanese friends. We Dutch (unlike the French) don’t like being dishonest just to spare someone’s feelings. If you gave a terrible presentation, we will tell you that it sucked (along with some helpful tips). We prefer being very direct and clear in our communication, which is why we can be perceived as blunt or arrogant.We are born with a genetic defect to like licorice. Or so the Japanese would have you believe. I actually brought some licorice to Japan, gave it to people from my university and everybody thought I was giving them medicine or poisoning them.We have a Superhuman Bicycle Riding Processor (SBRP) mutated into our brains. I went to Kyoto, the old capital of Japan and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. I rented a bicycle and for the first time in my life, I had to adjust to left-hand traffic as well as the complete lack of any bicycle lanes. This took me about 10 seconds and then I raced through the city.We like things that are free. This is rooted down deep into our genes and goes back all the way to our colonial empire and Dutch East India Company. Give something away for free and you can bet there will be a Dutch person lining up in the queue. It doesn’t even matter whether we like it. “It’s free” so that automatically makes it a good deal.We have an inferiority complex. We were once the most powerful nation in the world. See the figure below. While we haven’t lost our pride, we are now an insignificant flat backgarden of Germany that will soon be flooded due to climate change. Then we will be forgotten in history.We have learned to accept bad weather (although we’re not as good as the British). In Japan, when there would be a tiny amount of rain, everybody acted as if they would melt away. I saw a Japanese woman keeping one sheet of paper above her head as protection. Everybody carries umbrellas around all the time. I mostly enjoyed the rain (except for that one time when a typhoon passed over Tokyo!) and used a rain jacket instead of an umbrella.

What is the best analogy to describe the brain?

I really like the analogy of an economic system.I explore the “brain as economy” analogy in detail here:The Neural Citadel — a wildly speculative metaphor for how the brain works“So let’s paint a picture of the neural economy. Imagine that the brain is a city — the capital of the vast country that is the body. The neural citadel is a fortress; the blood-brain barrier serves as its defensive wall, protecting it from the goings-on in the countryside, and only allowing certain raw materials through its heavily guarded gates — oxygen and nutrients, for the most part. Fuel for the crucial work carried out by the city’s residents: the neurons and their helper cells. The citadel needs all this fuel to deal with its main task: the industrial scale transformation of raw data into refined information. The unprocessed data pours into the citadel through the various axonal highways. The trucks carrying the data are dispatched by the nervous system’s network of spies and informants. Their job is to inform the citadel of the goings-on outside its walls. The external sense organs — the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin — are the body’s border patrols, coast guards, observatories, and foreign intelligence agencies. The muscles and internal organs, meanwhile, are monitored by the home ministry’s police and bureaucrats, always on the look-out for any domestic turbulence. (The stomach, for instance, is known to be a hotbed of labor unrest.)“The neural citadel enables an information economy — a marketplace of ideas, as it were. Most of this information is manufactured within the brain and internally traded, but some of it — perhaps the most important information — is exported from the brain in the form of executive orders, requests and the occasional plaintive plea from the citadel to the sense organs, muscles, glands and viscera. The purpose of the brain is definitely subject to debate — even within the citadel — but one thing most people can agree on is that it must serve as an effective and just ruler of the body: a government that marries a harmonious domestic policy — unstressed stomach cells, unblackened lung cells, radiant skin cells and resilient muscle cells — with a peaceful and profitable foreign policy. (The country is frustratingly dependent on foreign countries, over which it has limited control, for its energy and construction material.)”Click on the link for more details.Note that all analogies and metaphors necessarily break down eventually.

Is it probable that people anywhere in the world are kidnapped solely for the purpose of involuntary organ donation?

Let's entertain the notion, for argument's sake.Let's imagine that there's a country with a majority party that wishes, for the purposes of political domination, to subjugate a portion of its population. This ruling power sends these people to jail, labor camps, etc, easily coming up with criminal charges to justify the actions legally.Let's imagine that not long after, this government realizes that it can maximize the economic value of prisoners by not only using them for labor, but also for organs to sell on the black market....but wait, you say. Organ donations need to be matched, and that's hard, you say. Rejection is a huge problem with organ donations, it was totally on the news, you say. It would be a low-margin business, you say.Hmm. Good points, but...What if supply were not a problem, as it is in the U.S.? What if there were literally tens of thousands of people in these prisons, and any of their organs could be used? The chances of finding a match suddenly get pretty good...What if I told you that thanks to modern medicine's powerful immunosuppressive drugs, perfect matches, while ideal, are no longer necessary? What if I told you that certain organs like the cornea can now be preserved for up to 2 weeks after harvest, easily allowing for global transport?What if this country was on a planet with more millionaires than the population of New York City? What if there was no reason to believe that the wealthy have a lower need for organs than the masses? What if many of those millionaires could afford a private transplant operation with a black-market organ many times over, meaning that it wouldn't matter to them if organ rejection happened a few years down the line--because they could just do it again? What if some of them were willing to put their ethics aside for the lifechanging chance to come off dialysis, to see, to live longer and better?Hmm. Scary. I'm really glad this is the 21st century and that despite what I know of human nature and my access to the internet, I can rest assured that this is just a ludicrous myth cooked up by Hollywood and pop culture.Now go Google "Falun Gong organ harvest".

How can I describe the appearance of a drug addict in a novel?

Take a nice and long look in the mirror and what do you see? Now describe, using creative words, what that person looks like. That, friend, is an addict.All of us are addicts. Some are addicted to food, others to alcohol, others to drugs and still others to sex, either as porn or the act itself. We have active addiction by almost 90% of the world’s population called INTERNET or Cell Phones. Just try to do without either for even a couple of hours and ask how painful that is?Anything that one finds stimulating their brain’s pleasure centers most effectively, is that which we return to frequently, for that hit — ergo: Addiction.I drank from the age of 12 and stopped at 19. I really liked it but the more I imbibed the more I had to imbibe the next time. It was due to this realization that I had cut-out alcohol and the main reason why I never got started in weed or other harder drugs. I know, that if it did stimulate me, I would never get enough.I loved coffee and even this I have cut-back. Pretty much anything that truly gave me pleasure I have cut from my life. Now I channel my pleasure addiction into my writing. At least the outcome is something productive and not damaging.Therefore, to describe an addict we must first describe ourselves. Then we can describe those people of varying stations to our own lives: the executives we work for, the various monarchies, the homeless drunk, or drug cult teens.Remember: Anything that anyone repeatedly does to excess can be considered addiction.

Is Kosovo illegal?

Well, I am very poorly disposed to discuss the legality of Kosovo as a state. But I will give you my perspective on it from a moral point of view.The problem I have with the secession of Kosovo is, that it was in fact a culmination of three great waves of Albanian genocide of Serbs.Kosovo was Serbian heartland for centuries. Under ottoman oppression, the first big wave of Serb genocide begun. Albanians in Albania are about 50% Catholic and 50% muslim. Albanians in Kosovo are virtually all Muslim. There is a historical reason for that. During the ottoman rule, Muslims were allowed to bear arms, and christians were not allowed to own, posess or bear any arms. So Mulsim albanians, who could bear arms, simply went over to Kosovo and drove Serbian farmers off their posessions and took over their farms. No authority ever protected Serbian farmers against their Muslim Albanian attackers.The second big wave of genocide was during WWI. Under Austro-Hungarian occupation, Albanians were encouraged to massacre Serbs and take their posessions.The third big wave was during WWII under Italian occupation. Once again the occupiers held a favorable view of Albanians and an unfavorable view of Serbs, and Albanians were once again encouraged and rewarded for killing and driving Serbs away.This is how the Albanian majority in Kosovo came about. And giving Albanians independence is in fact rewarding them for the genocide they perpetrated.Another reason, once again moral, against Kosovo independence, is that the Serbs in eastern Bosnia and Eastern Croatia were not given the right to self-determination. Why were Albanians in Kosovo granted that right, but Serbs were denied it? What about that northern sliver of Kosovo, where Serbs had not yet been driven out completely? Why don't Serbs in northern Kosovo get their right to self-determination, if Kosovo Albanians were granted that same right?To sum it upYou don't reward a group that perpetrated a genocide with a state.Every group should be granted the right to self-determination or none should be granted that right.For those two reasons, Kosovo will always be problematic for me.
