Also I'm not sure what's going around in that LR area between Loudéac and Lamballe. I like the south coast (Norbon, Montpellier). Dark Blue in the coast just next to Dark Red. I guest the 1% have their 3th Château there and push politics to the right. But I know 0.00 % about france, so maybe is something else entirely.

I suggest to draw a new world map. One where the "underwater" parts of the world are these with a density of poblation beyond 65h/square mile and the borders are cultural borders, and the height is not the mountain height, but the density of poblation. Anyone have a map like that, or know a tool to draw it?

Try to +1 that, bro". Then somebody created Hawai "Try to +1 this bro". And somebody took Guam from the Spanish, "Try to +1 this bro". You can't +1 this dude without founding a USA city in japan.

OddObserver posted:If you think deaths in Holodomor were a "side effect" of policies yoybnust be pretty ignorant of it. Direct mass confiscations of food from areas with famine are hardly 50 steps removed from millions of people dying. You are right but... The longer a command line, the more distributed is the "blame". Somebody in the top say "I want farmers to move to a cooperative system, make it so!". People in the middle turn that into "Make so this town farmers destroy their granary and put all the seeds in the same granary" Then on the bottom somebody ask some tugs "Go and destroy this town granaries". How censorship works in china? Nobody really ban anything. These on the top sometimes show discomfort about things. These in the middle try to guest work what these on the top dislike. These on the bottom (authors) try to predict what the censors are going to dislike and self-censor themselves to avoid having to write something, then having to remove it and write something else. On the real world negligence and evilness are hard to tell from each other because how organizations work is already pretty stupid to begin first.

Correlates negativelly with population density (but not strongly). Easy to bias by a small population, so has to be some niche thing. Correlates positivelly with poverty areas (but not strongly). Is something you do in Las Vegas. "Age adjusted annual rate per 100", goes from 0 to 1117. *head scratch* no idea Credit Score? It looks like credit score because "age adjusted" make it into a personal stat. Then is health or finance stat. If you have more than 100% something health related, you usually die, so it can be finnacial, where is normal for somebody to have a debt many times his annual salary and that type of poo poo. *googles credit score*  I have found this image, that is similar.

I mean, a lot of countries have this problem, that theres a solution is great. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/21/france-population-europe-fertility-rate posted:The picture is very different in Scandinavia and France. “In these countries the family norm is much more flexible, with late marriages, reconstituted families, single parents, much more frequent births outside marriage and divorces than further south,” Toulemon adds. “People are far less concerned about the outlook for the family [as an institution].” The positive impact of this open-ended approach to families on fertility is borne out by the statistics, at more than 1.8 children per woman in Sweden, Norway, Finland and France. I don't see the countries with a negative grown abandoning conservative views. Also, the older a population, the more prone to conservative views, so is like a negative destructive feedback loop these countries are in.

HookShot posted:Also a healthy history of Catholicism doesn't hurt. The point of the article is that it hurts. Conservative religious views = Womens stay at home. Womens stay at home if they have childrens => Womens that don't want to lose his job don't have chidrens. Catholicism => Less childrens. If you give womens the exclusive options of having childrens OR work. Many will choose work. But if you allow people to work AND have childrens, you see more people having childrens. What you see here is how less freedom remove the ability for some people to have childrens, people that want to have childrens can't have them.

Count Roland posted:This makes sense. Cities are cities everywhere. Nodes on a trade network with a certain population density. Where I live (north Spain) a town is a small ville with maybe less than 1000 persons, sometimes 3 houses on the curve a mountain road. But on the south a town can be 40K or 80K persons easily. So if somebody say "I come from a town" it could be 3 houses with 2 persons, or a ville with 80.000 persons. Sim City 5 lied to me.

The Irony Rule is that if your country / city / state is next to a huge river, you can't drink from it. So this map is probably bottled water related. * googles a bit * All I can find is this, that seems related in some way.

What I am in favor is hitting a kid as a last resort option, never the first. I would be preferable if adults could get kids to behave with voice and attitude alone, but since thats hard or expensive the next thing should do. Yes, good teachers should not need to go there, but you can't always have the best teachers; and sometimes a kid may need it. I guest I am lucky I don't have kids, so all these questions are purely theorical for me.

More like lack of sexual education. For whatever reason, the plan of religious people for teens, is to maintain them ignorant about sex, praying that they don't independently discover that it exist. Religion make people believe and do truly stupid things. The reality is that even teenagers that think sex is a sin, still practice it, but if they don't have a strong sex education, the do it without protection. So all that do religion for people, is to remove protection from STD's. No really. Religious people don't want to talk with their kids about sex, and they don't want other people to talk with their kids about sex. Their plan is maybe ignorance will work.

There are things that we think are corruption, but on a corrupt country are not consider corruption. And there are things that we don't normally consider corruption (like the caste system, or the USA political lobby system), that probably are corruption. About the caste system. It could be seen has a cause of systemwide corruption. A obvious cause of nepotism, you choose this guy has boss of a departament not because is the best worker, but because is of the caste X. It seems the caste system cause police to ignore rape / violence against some lower castes, thats imho is a type of corruption: wen police ignore some crimes, and is active on the same crimes based on who suffer them. So yes, basically, I think probably it should be seen has corruption. But Is my opinion, and probably not a popular one. Tei fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Jan 29, 2016 |

If is a USA map, the south states are poor, poorly educated and very religious. If the west coast and california is more represented, it probably correlate with population. With a world map, you can ask more questions: - Do this correlate negatively with radical islamic countries? - Do this correlate with wealth?
