None of these probably as I would be paying a lot just for the brand. I usually pay very little for my shoes. The only brand shoes that I have are second hand shoes.

I am just left of the political center in the Netherlands, but certainly not a socialist, however in the US I would be called extreme left wing probably.

As much I agree that each murder is a despicable act against humanity, and all these victims deserve our remembrance, it is hard to compare the figures. Looking from a Dutch perspective for instance, the few hundred thousand people who got killed in my country during WOII by the nazis are more significant than the millions killed in China by the communists. Also certain killings are particularly gruesome or sadistic, for instance when we consider the systematic murder of Jewish children. Children have that innocent aspect. Of course there are other genocides in history where innocent people got killed purely because of their ethnicity, and some of those are also less well remembered than the holocaust for instance because they took place much longer ago, involved less victims or took place in a part of the world that does not has the attention of our media so much. Then there are direct murders which feel more personal than for instance deaths that result from politically created famines (as happened a lot in Russia and China for instance). Finally in a war the situation is never black and white, freedom fighters might be fighting for a right reason and cause a lot of innocent victims along the way. I think many communists and even many fascists also believed that they did the right thing to improve the world. So it depends a bit what you want to remember and how you look at things, but of course all victims deserve our remembrance.

Not definitely "should" - but some will and some won't consider it. Personally I will, the more religious a candidate the less likely it is I will vote for him / her.

I guess that also depends on the mood I'm in, for now it would be piano :-)

I happened to me once at a my regular cafe, I went home without my coat as fast as I could, next week I returned and put up a sign in the exact place where my coat had disappeared "I suppose you took my coat by mistake, please put it back" - later that night my coat was back! :-)

What is your definition of more christian? Probably they are christian in a different way. I could also imagine Romney to be more extreme but that does not make Obama any less christian.

For me the choice would be between Norway, Sweden and Australia. All have good and bad points, I guess no place is perfect. So yes I like your idea of moving between them depending on the season, (not that I have the money to buy even a single place in any of these countries).

Because of the children...

Cannot answer with these options.
