what does "cop" mean here? "They are seeking for a sort of democracy where everyone should agree with them or they cop it."

What is a good English self introduction in interviews?

Any Chinese learner who would like to have a "real" language exchange? I'm a Chinese living in Guangzhou, so I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese and another dialect, Chaoshanhua. I'm looking for a native English speaker to be my language partner who is interested in any of these languages. I expect that we can have a verbal conversation with each other regularly, maybe 30minutes each time. I think this is a better way of enhancing listening skills and oral speaking in any languages. So if you are interested in my little project, please contact me and we can start right away. :)

Is there anyone working in the financial sector or other related sectors? I am a finance major and I am thinking about my career plan in the future. But as a student, I don't have much knowledge about this sector--about how a career is really like in a bank or a finance company. So I'm rathered confused about the direction of my career life now...So, if you are in the same situation or if you have some related working experience, come and share with me and all the people who are interested in this as well. (*^__^*)

Are they of the same meaning: foolish/stupid/silly and fool/idiot/simpleton? It seems that all these words share the same meaning in Chinese, but I remember my teacher has told us that they were slightly different, like "intelligent" and "smart", which are used in different situations though they are of the same meaning in Chinese. But I am still not quite sure how to distinguish among these similar words and use them properly. So I would really appreciate help from anyone who can give me a hint. Thanks! :)

Does it make sense to you that left-handed people are in general less successful than righties?

I've just listened to the BBC technology news and there was an interesting one reading that left-handed people generally do not perform as well as their right-handed peers, say, on average, they get a lower score at school, and lower pay at jobs, according to a new research among 45,000 people in the UK and in the US.

But around me people often say that left-handed people are more gifted and intelligent, and perform better in many aspects like music and writing than the common right-handed people. 

Are you  a lefty or a righty? What do you think of this finding? Come and join the discussion if you think it's ridiculous(well, I think it is) haha. 

Three times more than=three times as much as? e.g. This room is three times as large as that one. This room is three times larger than that one. Do they mean the same thing？It rather confusing to me, so I need your help. Thx.
