I love that this is getting down-voted. Because the liberal agenda is more important than scientific biological facts to some people :)

> And WHY would this be a problem inherent to women?

Because men and women have entirely different brains. They have entirely different strengths and weaknesses. Hate to break that to you.

The rise of "lets pretend everyone is equal even though they're obviously not" is one of the worst things going on right now.

Agreed. When they say something like 90% of all new businesses fail, that doesn't mean you shouldn't start a new business, it just means a lot of stupid ill prepared people start businesses and fail. Which has absolutely no bearing on YOUR chances of success.

> Are you trying to make some kind of analogy to humans being limited to a certain skill set because of genetics?

Of course I am. Do you think anyone can be a great basketball player?

Trying to pretend that all races are "the same" is blindness.

2. The problem here is that you can't train a bulldog to herd sheep. You can't train a poodle to be a livestock guardian.

Much of what working dogs do is pre-programmed. It's instinctive. Very little (if any) training is required.

Why try to train things to be things they were not already designed to be? It's FAR more efficient to breed the traits and instinct you want into a breed.

Shame they can't issue wildcard certs. I don't see why they cannot.

Why would your ISP allow you to send packets with a source address it hasn't allocated to YOU? That kind of check/enforcement is pretty cheap and simple.

> If tourist movement is spread out across Europe equally

It's not.

There is still a cost. And that cost is going to be passed on to everyone whether you use it or not.

So the cost incurred will be passed on to everyone in higher fees.

eg people who never "roam" are going to be subsidising those people that do.

A negative move spun as a positive... clever EU, clever.

There's a reason for that though - land in Scotland isn't as useful or valuable.

> "Who owns land is one of England's most closely-guarded secrets."

> This seems really strange to me. Why should this be the case?

It's not. It's a clickbait title. There is a land registry, and you can look at it to find out who owns land.

XML generators and parsers have been in use for a decade+. Pretty sure most of the bugs have been found and fixed by now.

It's just reinventing the wheel because the new generation don't want to use the same tools the previous generation did. The time and effort spent doing this is quite ridiculous.

(FWIW, I hate XML, JSON is far better. But there's more important things to work on).

If you're writing these things by hand, you're probably doing something wrong...

"Lane changes" aren't really much of a thing in the UK either.

Firstly, in the UK they aren't 'equal' lanes. They are for overtaking only. Undertaking is illegal. So we don't just change lanes willy-nilly. We change lane to overtake someone, and then change back.

Secondly, only motorways and dual-carriage ways are multi-lane. Most roads are single lane.

> Surely this isn't something we need to guess at, there are roads with such systems and similar roads without and those can be compared.

It's mainly done for political reasons or money raising reasons rather than safety. These cameras are usually on motorways which are the safest roads to drive on. It's all just for show, it doesn't actually make us any safer.

I would also say Cruise control results in more dangerous driving. If you're traveling at a constant speed, things get boring FAST. It's easy to just get bored, stop paying attention and zone out.

Cruise control isn't as big a thing in the UK. We have bendy roads and drive manual cars not automatics.

In the UK we have "average speed cameras". They are dotted along a road, and monitor cars individually by their license plate.

I would argue they make drivers far less safe, because whilst on such a road, drivers are glued to their speedometers to make sure they're not going over the limit.

Drivers should be concentrating on driving safely. Not on driving at a specific arbitrary speed.
