Trump is visible proof that 50% of the population is of below average intelligence.
Does anyone understand why the US electoral process has to be so complicated?

Cant say I do and therefore its a boring answer :D
Do you think that there will ever be a day that the world more or less is living in peace? Or are humans incapable of that.
I think we are not fundamentally capable of enduring peace. Unless aliens really visit and are hostile to us I don't think the 6/7 billion people here will ever truly be united. Even then after the war they will go back to their usual parochial selves.
Do you think your country will be in another war in your life time?
Not talking about America cause they will always be in one..somewhere :p:
I don't think Britain will be in another out-and-out war, like the Falklands, for a few years, but I can see us being involved in many ISIS or Afghanistan "International policing" conflicts
Do you think that the ever-increasing world population will lead to conflicts simply because people will want a share of scarce resources: food, land, etc
It's not the increasing population per se. The Earth can host a lot more people. It's the expectations. Most people think they are entitled to more than they actually deserve or even practically need. They want more and they want it at the expense of the next guy. This is how conflicts happen. Then it's just human nature in all its glory.
What will be the last rampart of privacy to fall in the world of big data, government surveillance, facebooks etc.?
Text messages.
There was a recent incident in the National Hockey League where a player was suspended for 20 games for clobbering an on-ice official. The player, and his team organization, appealed the suspension but the appeal was rejected because the league got hold of some derogatory text messages from the player’s personal phone. No one knows how the league managed to get a hold of the text messages.
Do you post personal photos (of kids, family, etc.) on Facebook (or any other open social media)?
I do not. I do share some trip or vacation photos with friends but not on fb but photo sites etc. (even there picasa managed to become G+, **** google)
I frankly am fed up of people posting stuff all the time. I have seen a friend even posting pics on fb within 15 minutes of her child being born. That is just crazy to me.
Ok, any plans for the week-end?
I am going to a Spanish taster course. Fancied learning a language for a while and so have booked this to see if Spanish is for me. If I like it I will book a course. Then playing football afterwards. Gardening at home Sunday.
What languages can you speak?
None apart from my mother language which is romanian.
Who's your fav singer?
