And some people are fine with beheading others that don't believe in their god. And sometimes even if they believe in the same god, but in the wrong way.
A lot of the "lack of opportunities" is their own fault. There are plenty of Eastern European immigrants in Western Europe that are working their asses off, even though they don't speak the language and have low education. There are Asian immigrants, and 2nd/3rd generation that are working hard and doing well in schools.
It's predominantly the immigrants from Northern African descent that don't speak the language properly, don't bother to get a good education, and don't show much respect for the non-Muslim population.
It is not reasonable to expect people to not touch dead or sick people
If the consequence is that you'll catch the disease and end up with a serious chance of dying yourself, it's a very reasonable request. And when people refuse to follow such basic advice, there's little hope that a "global warning and response systems" can save them.
Of course, the fools that want to protect their own children from the dangers of vaccines are just idiots and no harm ever comes from vaccines, so don't question why the government is collecting hundreds of millions of dollars into a compensation fund.
Instead of adding it all up, you should consider that it's still only $2.25 per shot, which puts a limit on what they expect to have to compensate per child.
Charlie Hebdo is actually anti-racist, left-wing, and will mock nationalist party National Front just as much as different religions, including Judaism and Christianity. They only seem to be anti-Muslim, because that's the only group that can't take a joke.
Europe is traditionally a place that people leave so it's not surprising that they haven't figured out how to assimilate immigrants.
It's not even the immigrants that are the biggest problem. It's the 2nd/3rd generation young kids (mostly men 18-25) from immigrants that came over in the 60's and 70's that are causing the most problem. Those are people that grew up there.
In America, there aren't as many Muslims. If you have one Muslim kid in the classroom, they aren't as likely to question the teacher about the Jewish holocaust compared to when you have classroom with more than 50% Muslim kids. They'll get more vocal, and more threatening, to the point where any talk about the holocaust has been removed from the curriculum in order not to cause problems.
My question was a rhetorical one, but since it got moderated "-1 don't understand", I'll rephrase it in a more direct way.
Not to be a heartless dick, but it's not that hard to do if someone shows symptoms en route
The problem is that most symptoms that are developed en route are going to be simple things like a fever or vomiting. These aren't clear enough to be recognized as a symptom of a dangerous disease. Taking a blood or mucus sample, and running a real test could take hours, if not days, and that's too long to keep a plane full of people waiting.
You are seriously going to claim that these guys basically handed an unknown third party what amounted to a pile of untraceable cash trusting that they wouldn't run off with it and that they knew the risk they were taking?
Most people would understand there would be a risk that they would be ripped off during such a transaction. Yes. But there's a big market for illegal goods, and other ways of trading have risks too. Some of them a bit more up close and personal than losing a handful of money.
Your calculations are way off. Per day, 3600 bitcoins get mined. At current exchange rate, these represent about $1 million. For an average price of $0.12 per kWh, that puts an upper limit of about 350 MW on the total mining electricity use.
The major reason why ebola was able to grow was simply poor basic health care practices in some countries. Simple rules, like not touching dead or sick people, and washing your hands regularly would have helped a lot more than "databases" and "global warning and response systems".

age-old discrimination based on racial profiling, bigotry, and sterotypes, not any actual accurate information.
Accurate information is often unavailable. Imprecise information, especially if you have a lot of it, is useful.
Not really. Saudi Arabia is the largest exporter, and without the oil money, the people will be quick to revolt.
And most importantly - what is going to happen with the scanned data after it is determined that I'm not on a watch list?
It goes in a database of course, so they can track your whereabouts.
this is a Customs checkpoint, where their ENTIRE JOB is to know who is passing in and out of the country.
If biometrics data is only taken at these checkpoints, what reference are they going to use to determine identity ?
1) Copying DNA from one human to another.
As long as you don't copy the DNA of a Disney princess...

ALL cellphones are expensive as hell.
I just got a new Sony Xperia phone for $300. Nice screen, fast CPU. Works great.

Yes. But it's easier to give in than to defend, especially when confronted by a bunch of youths who aren't afraid to use violence.
free speech doesn't mean you're allowed to insult and provoke at your leisure
That's exactly what free speech means. If you could only practice free speech that wasn't controversial, it would be meaningless.

Also, for best experience try to spend some time in Europe in a predominant Muslim neighbourhood, preferably as an attractive young woman.
Morality and honestly are not universally present in free market agents. Therefore, regulation is required to guarantee the maximum freedom.

Depends on the symptoms. Are you going to quarantine an entire flight when a passenger has a fever or is throwing up ?

Make sure you are really untraceable though. Making enemies with a bunch of criminals may not be the smartest move.
