Egypt looks crazy in that diagram... it really shows how vital the Nile really is.

That tiny little strand of bright yellow contains almost 80 million people. It is crazy.

Look at how much space isn't heavily populated enough to register on that map.  I find that more interesting than the wealth distribution.

Here's an interesting one. At Blizzcon this year, Blizzard thought it would be a great idea to have the band Cannibal Corpse up on stage singing about how "Horde is awesome! Alliance are fags, cocksuckers, emo cunts, should slit their wrists, etc..." you know, as a joke. I personally see a bit of non-PC humour in it if you're aiming for South Park levels of subtlety (Average WoW player?), but that's a wee bit of poor taste for a major gaming broadcast, no?

Seems they did get an apology from the President of Blizzard.

For the record, that isn't Cannibal Corpse. It's L90ETC, an in-game band made up of Blizzard employees. They just invited Corpsegrinder because... well, either they have no taste in metal or everyone with actual talent was busy that day.

Hell, it's about time....

Doesn't matter if you don't like farm aid. The gist of the case is simple:

A.) If you were white you got farm aid (money and cashed checks);
B.) If you were black you just didn't.... (for that reason only).

Only took nearly half a century and seemingly endless scapegoating by many republican candidates in the recent debates.

This is actually a win for the government, because believe me, 50 years of compound interest (actually between 30 and 50 depending on the individual) plus the larger amount this case would take if it went to court, would be truly astonishing and deserved. They have as air tight a case as you can get with smoking guns of some of the worst deep south racism against a large number of people.... The taxpayers are absolutely dodging a bullet to the brain, despite what some say.

Wargarble! Long story short, invasive illegal searches at buses, trains and ferries. Welcome to the Fascist States of America, prepare to be groped and fondled no matter how you travel.

What are they looking for anyway? It's not like it's illegal to carry a weapon on the bus in the US, now is it?

Err, why are you blaming him when other people are the ones who actually did the murder?

The dude and his book are both loony, but the blame lies on the parents who went through with the beatings, imo. They're the ones who did it of their own free will and volition. Direct your rage at them.

“Do something!” she whispered, trying to keep her sight on all of them at once.

It's partly his fault because he advocated it. It's like hanging up posters with the personal details of abortion doctors on them, and with cross-hairs over their faces.

This has happened three times now, and that's just the ones we know about. You've seen the video. The very implements he talks about and his crazy book were found in all the cases involving this. I am raging at the parents, they should be locked up for the rest of their natural lives, but Pearl could stand to stare at the inside of a cell for a decade or four himself.

Is that the same guy who got a couple parents to smother their adopted child to death when attempting to make her experience some bizarre sort of rebirth to make her accept her adoptive parents?

On the author's (juridical) guilt, aren't there "endangerment of other people's lives" or "cause of other's death" charges for exactly these kind of situations, where there is an obvious source and reason the crime was committed that wasn't directly involved in the crime?
