Complex Systems Theorists Predict We're About One Year From Global Food Riots

pigrabbitbear writes with conjecture on what triggers global unrest. Quoting the article: "In a 2011 paper, researchers at the Complex Systems Institute unveiled a model that accurately explained why the waves of unrest that swept the world in 2008 and 2011 crashed when they did. The number one determinant was soaring food prices. Their model identified a precise threshold for global food prices that, if breached, would lead to worldwide unrest."

Re:Still Wrong

I dont think you are educated on the subject lgw.
There is lack of food, there is an overpopulation problem, there are droughts, floods, swarms, and other natural disasters to consider.
Also consider that obesity is a media whore, and that to become obese one needs only to eat the wrong foods, not large swaths of it.
But go ahead, live in your fantasy world that everything is okay and "experts" are just crying wolf. But when that day comes... I told you so wont put food on your plate.

We right wingers are soulless!

I got more then a thousand pairs of shoes and they all got souls. Made from the finest baby leather, treated in the tears of their mothers. This nonsense we right-wingers are soulless must stop.

And as for that silly question you left-wingers keep asking: Will you state that you have stopped eating the unborn.

No I have not stopped doing that. Now stop squirming as a I rape your ass while you secretly still vote for me because one day you hope to be eating the unborn too.
