    Why I am probably not going to Uganda anytime soon...

    What US tied Uganda companies do I support? I never stated my fiscal ideology. From my expressed isolationist views, you make a lot of assumptions on me, have a plan for what I should say or type, I am quite able to play devil's advocate, I can see and understand your views and line of...

    You mistake my isolationist views for supporting theirs, tis not the case, but the tendency of the US to interfere in everything will always be based on such, every international action for whatever underlining cause will be based off of some perfect cause. If the world decides to forcible...

    Why I am probably not going to Uganda anytime soon...

    Sorry about the edits, but to make it clear, if they decided to pass this bill, what should we do about it? Block trade which would starve out the people? Overthrow their government for (assuming it passed) popular bill? Not that I support their actions one bit but what can be deemed...

    There is a difference between preventative action, which is what you are suggesting vs stopping an action already in effect, plus the holocaust went past Germany's borders into Poland, increasing the range by going past domestic. You also trend on a slippery slope, can communist or free...

    Why I am probably not going to Uganda anytime soon...

    Populations around the world are allowed to vote on what they want and how they want their society to be constructed, that is their business, not mine, suggesting otherwise says that we have an equal say within their government or society, (edit) and I know that they don't have a say in ours...

    Domestic policies of foreign countries bother me not, as long as it's not my country. It wouldn't be a factor that would prevent me from traveling to the country. It is always good to read the laws before traveling anywhere, so in regard to that, interesting find.

    Connection between nurture and crime?

    I was just making sure such was the case. I did some researching through my schools database, and came up with this. I read a few more peer reviewd journals that had similar results as well. European Journal of Criminology European Journal of Criminology 2007; 4; 161 van der Laan, Jan R...

    1 in 6 Americans in poverty?

    [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]There is no bias present, bailout, stimulus, they function the same way, I was referencing to all items in regards to such practices hence I placed "Keynesian", which would reference all that fall under said category, we rose above others after 2006 and beyond, by...

    Connection between nurture and crime?

    As an upcoming criminologist, I would say no, or that that correlation is far to simple. Theories which address something in line to what you are suggesting would be Cognitive, Differential association, or Cultural theory. Cognitive theory- mind develops patterns through social experiences...

    1 in 6 Americans in poverty?

    My claim was correct a few years ago(check the years), cost of living would have gone down if the stimulus didn't pass, it artificially maintained prices (Keynesian economics interfering with the market will change what would have been otherwise predictable), otherwise prices would have gone...

    1 in 6 Americans in poverty?

    I have school within 30 min, a 5 min search served in achieving the basic formula for cost of loving and that averages are used to compare states, which California itself is in itself comparable to a country, if they can average CA they can do countries, to pull some of the docs with said info...

    1 in 6 Americans in poverty?

    First off China has a devalued currency, so the cost of living is rather low, this is compared to how much money people generate (which is also lowered due to the devalued currency). So currency values are a huge factor when considering international costs of living. That can be easily measured...

    1 in 6 Americans in poverty?

    In everything else I would say, the biggest and only tax the poor pay is the sales tax, and having 1/4 to 16 the price of goods living in a country that produces more wealth is quite a benefit, and for the first 30 years of your life health is not a major price tag (it definitely becomes one...
