Why do many Europeans think they're better than the rest of the World?
Honestly, I've been to Europe, even lived in France for a while and yes most of the countries were very lovely, but many of the people in them ... downright rude :/ Why do people in Europe think they're better than everyone else? Is it because of the age of their country? China has been around longer than most countries in Europe and invented much of the common everyday things we use. The U.S is a fraction of it's age and has come out with most relevent modern inventions. Is it because they somehow think they're more intelligent than the rest of the world, which before facts prove otherwise of. Europeans think there's nothing outside the European continent, they act like "Oh we are so cultured, but we never leave Europe, never mind America... never mind countries like Asia and Africa, f#ck them they don't matter now, do they?" - Mind you I'm not saying ALL Europeans act like this, but many act like they have a right to sit above everyone just because their mother pushed them out in a European hospital. It takes much more than that to consider yourself anyone worthwhile my friends.
How should I plan my trip to Europe?
I am attempting to plan a trip to Europe next summer (June 2014) and was looking for advice on how to best plan it on a budget. I would be starting out in the US and am looking to spend 17-22 days in Europe. The destinations I'm currently looking at are London, Paris, Venice, and Rome. I'm not particularly concerned with mode of transportation once in Europe, but the it must be a flight there and a flight back as I'm not fond of traveling by boat. My budget is a little over $4000 with the understanding that spending money will be needed for food and souveneirs. The $4000 does not include food or souveneirs, it is strictly transportation and hotels. The time of the trip must be in summer due to the need to save the money in the money required and due to College constraints. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance....
I pirate games because I can't afford them. I only play single player. Am I immoral?
The problem with your question is that you are making a number of inherent assumptions in your statement.I can’t afford to play video games.Now, I’m more than willing to believe that even if you have SOME form of funds, you can’t afford to play $60+ a pop on the next AAA title. And let’s be honest: anyone with that kind of money is a very privileged person indeed.However, the thing is that, even with a $0 budget, there are more than enough experiences out there for the shoe-string budget gamer. Just type in the words “free to play” in any gaming search engine, and you’ll get HUNDREDS of fantastic titles. There’s no shortage of excellent shooters, and you can even find a title for pretty much every single niche genre.Okay, but I NEED to play THIS game right NOW.I know this may be a bit of a whiplash from the previous paragraph where I tried to offer an olive branch, but frankly I find this attitude complete bollocks. Gaming is a luxury, not a right. You are not entitled to play a certain title the moment you want it, regardless of your ability to pay for it.Don’t want to pay full price for a game? Don’t buy it, then. Wait for that $40 game to go on sale for a fraction of the price, and pick it up then. Hell, you say you bought Stardew Valley after pirating it; I’m not sure how I feel about the whole “I’ll buy it if I like it when it goes on sale” attitude since I’m skeptical that pirates DO purchase the game eventually, but hey, I’m not your warden. If you can be honest with yourself like that, that’s a reasonable attitude.
Which is the best Car simulation game to learn driving?
While the Euro Truck Simulator is a great Simulator, it mostly works with trucks.A couple of screenshots from Euro Truck Simulator 2Sure, cars can be modded in and this simulator helps familiarise the sim (you) with the basics of traffic rules (Speeding, lights and lane discipline) along with a feel for vehicles, it is not what you want for a car simulation. Especially to learn driving.Try looking into GT series (especially the Gran Turismo 4,5 & 6), voted the most authentic racing Simulator in the world.Gran Turismo 4. The best racing Simulator to date.This is the simulator many race car drivers stand by. And for a good reason.A screenshot from Gram Turismo 6The ultra realistic handling engine along with responses to the change in surfaces and gradients, Not to mention the effects of in-game weather on the driving dynamics.The in-game effects on Driving as simulated in Gran Turismo 5.This helps you learn about the way a car would react to different inputs. This is a PlayStation exclusive title though.However, if getting acquainted with the traffic rules is what you are looking for, the city driving simulator will do the job just fine.The City Driving Simulator with reasonably rendered vehicles and interiors.But with all that being said, the above mentioned are not the replacements of a proper driver's ed(ucation). Those just (passively) aid the process of learning how to drive.Hope this helps.

Why doesn't the U.S. have high-speed trains?
I went to China about a year ago and I spend some time in the subway system. They have free wifi in the subway. You buy a subway card and it's a normal plastic card and you just hold it near the sensor to use it. The subway platforms are also a lot cleaner and nicer than those in NYC, for example.Why don't we have these things in the US?Infrastructure: we built it first.The US built its rail systems a long time ago. Updating it is incredibly expensive because old systems were not designed to be easily upgraded to newer technologies. No one knew what those newer technologies would even be.China, on the other hand, built their subway system much more recently. As such, they had access to all the most recent technology while building it.US infrastructure is getting pretty old and a lot of it is in dire need of repairs or replacement. For political reasons, it'll likely get much worse before we actually do anything about it. Once we do, though, the US will have brand new rail systems with some of the latest technology, much faster and more efficient than the current standards. Someone in China will wonder why their trains don't do barrel rolls like the ones in the US.Then, as everything does, the new infrastructure will get old. Someone will ask on Quora why trains in the US don't teleport like the ones in China.Comparing infrastructure between regions, whether they are continents, countries, or counties, is like a game of leapfrog. Each one occasionally takes a big leap forward and then stagnates for a long time.
