Perhaps surprisingly, our review of the evidence provides little reason for optimism that a reduction in poverty or an increase in educational attainment would meaningfully reduce international terrorism. Any connection between poverty, education and terrorism is indirect, complicated and probably quite weak. Instead of viewing terrorism as a direct response to low market opportunities or ignorance, we suggest it is more accurately viewed as a response to political conditions and long-standing feelings of indignity and frustration that have little to do with economics.

WTF? State law or you only worked a limited time? Republican in office? That is entirely unacceptable, seriously. I would almost suggest posting a PayPal address but I got bitched at the last time I suggested that though I still made use of it much to the chagrin of the naysayers.
And Osama came from a wealthy family and was wealthy himself. So? You realize that your post includes a link to Wikipedia? The reason there is an article about him specifically is because, well, they are an outlier and their exception to the rules makes them noteworthy enough to have an article to start with.

At risk of going a bit too far I would highly recommend a Critical Thinking course (or two) at the collegiate level. "My driveway is wet, it must be raining."

Beer and circuses my friend. It appears you know this, which is good. Today it is televised sports and beer. Circuses are not so common any more but the result is the same. A lethargic and mostly satisfied or entertained populace does not seem to inspect or criticize their government (or those who have power over them) nearly as much as a disenfranchised group with neither satisfaction or entertainment.
This is completely off-topic. I can handle to the down-mod if needed. I feel it is worth sharing due to your comment.
I once had an altercation with a man who was behaving in a violent and unacceptable way in a modern society. In this altercation I broke their jaw and ended up in the county jail but only after I was grabbed by someone and hit them - not breaking anything but it was a police officer who did NOT identify themselves, thus that was dismissed and I was charged with a simple assault but, due to the nature, I only had to serve 72 hours, pay a fine, and pay restitution. I took the plea bargain that was offered in case you are curious which, well, you probably are not.
I tie this back in with this: During my stay in the county jail (not a rough or bad stay or anything) I learned that the term "skinner" is the derogatory name for sex offenders in the New England area.
Your post reminded me of that time... And, well, the person I attacked was assaulting someone who was absolutely and undeniably incapable of defending themselves and, why yes, it was outside a bar. Punching someone of the "fairer sex" over and over again is not acceptable behavior in a modern society and the unnoticed police officer parked at the end of the lot did not respond until I got involved -- which I do not comprehend. We have a third party defense as a law here so I *may* have been okay with a bench trial but I did not bother as failure may well have netted me a six month sentence. Oddly the greatest mystery is that the original victim eagerly offered to testify against me and had an emotional "impact statement" to share with the judge before I was sentenced to my few days -- I know the reasons but I still am unable to comprehend that either.
Anyhow, that is enough off-topic drivel for one day and I think this is sanitized enough to post under my own moniker. I did it, I will own it. I would do it again but I am getting a bit old for that.
Whilst your comment MAY be accurate in your experiences it is not true for all (which I suppose you know). It matches much of my experience but there are certainly exceptions. It is like pointing to the black people in prison without actually acknowledging why and expecting that statistic to support that blacks are criminals. Even if it were true there is no reason to post it except in an effort to rile.
But you knew this... Which is why you are the master baiter, I would have posted such myself, had I thought about it.
How about if we believe your conclusions but do not think your data supports your claim, ie you are viewing what you wish due to your observations which are obviously (and not a fault) biased?
To be honest I don't know how I would feel but it is of little concern after the fact. I don't really fear death, I do not welcome it but I accept it as a part of reality. I do suppose it would help to mention I am a Buddhist and getting up there in age now so I have considered death in great detail and realized that I do not have to fear it. I may be a bit angry if you are trying to kill me but, for instance, in my youth I was in combat a number of times so you wouldn't be the first to try though it would be more personal in your case. So, would I care? Not enough to matter too much and I may try to stop it but I would accept it on my way out and not care one wit after the fact. I don't worry about an asteroid either. By the same token I don't do stupid stuff like drive drunk or not wear a seatbelt. I do not seek or desire death, it just is not all that scary or worrisome really. It is just another step, Bare minimum, belief systems aside, I will eventually return to the matter of the stars so, no, I guess I have an odd (perhaps even wrong) view of death? As I aged I became more comfortable with it instead of fearing it more.
I have a Republican governor... LePage... (Maine) He is busy starving the poors and taking away their other assistance while gutting DHHS it seems. I am pondering moving to Canada as I am of First Nation's heritage and thus have Canadian citizenship for quite some time now. I kid you not about the poor starving. He has also taken away their health care (I don't mind my taxation rate) for some reason. Starving and ill will be our growth industry here by year's end. I really wish I were kidding.
No, I won't care after you hypothetically kill me. I will be dead and unable to care. I'd care if you maimed or injured me, however. I would be beyond caring if you killed me.
Why? You won't care. I am,pretty sure of this. It is not a big deal methinks as something like 95% of all living things have gone extinct already and they are not complaining.
I have not been to Seattle since the mid-90s. I don't recall there being any Republicans but, then again, I did not dig too deep. It was a surrealistic place then and I was eating a lot of blotter at the time.
I wonder if my old(ish) Motorola RAZR is like that as it was the flagship phone at the time, It is still an excellent phone and it has my favorite feature - the slide out keyboard. The size and weight are worth it to me. It is able to take a SIM card too,
And it would make a good excuse to rescue the tower. He could make more selling it for scrap than he'd make selling it to me. I don't know where you live but it is just 100 USD.
That does help. It gives me some ideas and some potential motivation. The only reason I bought them was to build a cluster and I have absolutely no need for a cluster so I figured I would make one and then make another basement NAS or a media server. I already have a couple of servers down there but no media server. I don't actually have any use for a media server - that is already covered but the goal was to build a cluster, I don't really have a need or a good reason to build one. I figured it would be amusing and that maybe I would get another line put in and maybe make a web facing server. I understand that creating a LAMP stack clustered is really easy but making a clustered LAMP stack RIGHT is actually difficult. I never, I have had them for almost a year and have not done anything with them so I am really liking this plane tracking idea. With all the idiots with small planes in the area, the ones that don't do a flyover before landing their little Cessna or Pipers on water, snow, or a fairly flat field it might get some interesting results. We have those sorts of people crashing all the time. They land parallel to the waves. The hit ridges or small spaces of open water on the ice. Or, often enough they are landing effectively on someone's lawn and they very much misjudge the distance, So it might be interesting.
Looking it up is the lazy way. Is it a specific meter length required antenna? Did you have to make it? Or is it just some stereo wire taped to a T and then strung up or similar? I do have the absolute perfect tree to tape a fishing sinker to and toss it over and I am on the side of a mountain so I may do well but there's not much traffic out this way. My hand-held scanner does airplane frequencies but I seldom hear (I had actually typed here, I'm glad I preview before the preview.) anything and that has an upgraded antenna. The big scanner does the same and that has a mounted outdoor antenna. The ham does a much better job and I have a buddy who has a tower for sale, cheap, and it's 100' which is legal here. My issue with the tower is aesthetics. I have a pine that it would fit behind, mostly, but that is about 50' from the corner of the house. Do-able but there is a lot of math needed. I might see if there is a "local" ham club that will lend a hand or simply call around and hire someone so that it is right the first time. I can mix the concrete myself and fill four sonotubes and get the bolts in the right spot on my own so I will at least get my hands dirty,:D
Sorry for my doubting you. I've since been corrected and now have a better understanding. I Googled before I asked and, well, all the results in my quick scan looked like ads for carriers and the only Nexus devices I've seen are all carrier branded. Even in my quick Google the Google link looked like an ad for a carrier. My most sincere apologies are offered if you want them,
Thank you for the correction. The "Nexus branded devices..." could just as easily mean from a carrier. My Motorola is a Motorola not a US Cellular.
HOWEVER... I was still clearly mistaken and confused. I even Googled before commenting and the results seemed to indicate that they were all carrier devices, All I did was a quick scan so even the Google link looked like a Google ad for a carrier. It was/is my mistake and I thank you, again, for the correction.
As I've mentioned (with my foot in my mouth) the only Nexus devices I have seen where all carrier phones and when I did a quick Google prior to saying anything it looked like all of them were carrier devices. The Google ad looked like, well, a Google ad.
