  Their words

  I think we should use this kinds of data to completely turn around Europe's immigration policy: - We should have super easy inflow for immigrants from countries whose previous immigrants have shown low crime rates You're from Japan?

  Cold exposure trains autonomic regulation that generalises, so that an everyday provocation stops producing an anger response at all.

  Their words
