unfortunately that's useless if you can't do anything about it... just think about the recent unfruitful millions-strong street protests in france, how powerless we are even in self-proclaimed democracies.
Even then, it's better to know you are being short-changed. Alas, France's problem is an old one, the executive has too much power. It was maybe good for people like de Gaulle, but most leaders can't burden the responsibility properly.
That's not how defamation works. You're saying that if the statement is out there, surely people will do a deep investigation into the correctness of it?
OP was saying that even the sentence "bob says that jim is x" is defamation because readers will take it as "a ringing endorsement of bob's statement", which is patently untrue unless you are a little kid.
It is not patently untrue. It wholly depends on the reader’s opinion of Bob. Also most people’s intelligence is not that much greater than that of a little kid. They are only more knowledgeable, but not necessarily more intelligent.
Reading the news, my gut feeling is that US and China are preparing the ground for war between each other, though it makes no sense from an economical point of view, so perhaps I'm reading it wrong.
yeah, a future that chokes on pollution, constantly on the brink of annihilation by ever more powerful weapons, with freedom ever more vanishing under growing mass control systems... all so you can have some silly gadgets that you'll get bored with in a day, always chasing for the next shining toy
> Researchers also find that when we develop groups, our friendships are more sustainable than they are with individuals.
this really should be simple common sense. We are so far removed from our natural habitat (the small tribe/village where everyone is always around everyone) that we have forgotten this basic simple thing too.
