Sadly, a self-proclaimed socialist has no chance in hell of winning an election in America.

He'd have my vote in a heartbeat, though.

Yep - I hear 'reality show' and all I think of is fake, scripted drama, contestants chosen for looks or 'sellable' story rather than talent or relevance, and insulting 'challenges' that emphasize the previous two. I really hope that this show manages to sidestep a lot of this and stick to the science first and foremost.

That describes most western European non-native English speakers I know (especially the ones from the Nordic countries). Not only do they speak English at least as well as the native (American) speakers I know, they almost universally write better English than the native speakers do. Whether it's true modesty or humble bragging, I don't know - but plenty of these people would easily pass for native speakers, accents aside.

For comparison, most American, English-native speakers I know don't speak any other language. The state I live in (Oregon) is trying to remedy this by requiring two years of a foreign language at the high school level, but I'd prefer to see second language education start much earlier and be a more fundamental part of our students' curriculum.

Goes to show that even software engineers can be pants on head retarded.

Sorry, but I couldn't vote for an anti-evolution candidate regardless of the circumstances. It shows a fundamental disregard for science. I'd hope that the majority of Redditors would agree.

I assume that all the liquid for the perspiration is coming from somewhere. Do you find yourself having to drink a lot more than the other people you know? I'm just curious if you end up feeling dehydrated a lot if you don't get access to water on a very regular basis.
