My first dream job was truck driver, the second one shop-assistant( I was fascinated by the amount of candy I could have had), the third one scientist( pretty conventional) and the forth pilot.

And now I work as a computer programmer although I plan on getting a parachutist badge.

My vote goes to Abraham Lincoln for two reasons:

1, He preserved the union

2. He ended slavery

While it can be argued that slavery was doomed in an ever industrialising world, it was never clear how to North-South divide would resolve. A weaker president could have resolved to accept the de facto independence and to see the dissolution of the union but Abraham Lincoln didn't accept that, he fought and kept the country together.

I prefer the American accent over the British one( although the Irish one is my personal favorite).

As a side note, I grew up learning English by watching cartoons when I was young and I was really annoyed when my school teacher kept "correcting" me :"You must say trousers, not pants!" , "It's called autumn, not fall."

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I started to dislike the British one :P

I don't think you're philosophy is really healthy. It's a well know fact of life that if you throw something in the air it will eventually fall to the ground. If one asks "why are things falling towards the earth" you could give a simple explanation by saying "due to gravity". But this automatically implies at least some physics, in order to understand what a force is, gravitational acceleration and other such topics. And bear in mind that does are only superficial explanations, we don't really know how gravity exactly works( scientists have proposed a theory of sub-atomic pariticles named gravitons, but it hasn't been proven yet). In order to really understand a very basic principal of life, you have to study very deep, otherwise your understanding of that subject is very shallow and a superficial understanding of things can lead to very bad ideas, stereotypes being one of them. 

Also, by attacking Steve, rather than his arguments you've made an "Ad hominem" fallacy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem).

Evolution is a process that is not related strictly to biology. In computer science there is a class of algorithms called "genetic algorithms" that apply genetic principles ( inheritance, evolutionary pressure, mutations and recombinations) in order to find practical solutions to common problems(eg. the shortest route between between a big number of cities). The interesting thing is that they don't offer the best results, but their results are among the first 1%(depending on how well they are written, this might vary) and are a lot faster than other conventional methods( which would require months or years to give the best solution).

Fashion. In the west this trend started in the '50 and '60 and tanning was recommended for many things, from fatigue to tuberculosis. Back then the harmful effects of UV radiation were not studied so the trend continued. 

From a cultural point of view it might have something to do with the hippy movement since they were generally against the conservative ideas of their parents( who associated tanned skin with outdoor construction workers).

I sometimes tan when going to the beach in the summer but I have a rather negative view of those who use tanning beds. They are harmful and their only purpose is to make a fashion statement, to show your 'hip' status( just like cigarettes), not to mention the unnatural look they give.

I don't live in Scotland, so my opinion does not really count.

It seems to me that the whole process required to create a Scottish state will bring more disadvantages than advantages. A state must run hundreds of embassies around the world, it needs to have a standing army,a navy and air force(not to mention secret services) and a very big bureaucracy which costs a lot. They would also lose the seat Great Britain holds in the Security Council at the UN. They wouldn't be able to benefit from the economic ties Great Britain has with it's former empire. Of course, politicians love big bureaucracies so I can see why many suport this.

But people will mostly vote with what they consider right, depending on how they define themselves, British or Scottish ( or both).

En Roumanie, l'enseignement supérieur public est gratuit. Si tu peux passer les examens d'admission et tu es dans les premiers x%, tu ne dois pas payer rien. Si tu n'est pas dans les premiers x% mais tu as passer l'examen, tu dois payer une taxe qui n'est pas très grande. Dans un monde ou l'information est disponible sur l'internet, il me semble une vrai bêtise demander milliers d'euros pour des études.

Les universités d'ici ne sont pas très bonnes mais elles peuvent préparer des médecin, des ingénieurs et des enseignants capables.
