I like the idea of a gender neutral uniform. Up to puberty, it shouldn't make the blindest bit of difference whether kids are boys or girls.bloggoth

I suspect it's both, but 'nurture' probably pays a very strong role.

Killing civilians at random is terrorism. Ethnic cleansing is terrorism.
But maybe if the poster makers aren't interested in that, perhaps they could include the number of US citizens killed by other US citizens with guns in the same timeframe (and break it down by perceived religion)…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Myanmar wants ethnic cleansing of Rohingya - UN official - BBC News
So you could argue
1) Killing a bunch of kids in their native country who have lived their all their lives and just wanted to go to a pop concert - terrorism
2) Removing illegal immigrants from your country - ethnic cleansing
They are different but equally shocking.Comment

Originally posted by original PM View PostThe main difference if you read the BBC report is actually they are just deporting illegal immigrants who have already started a 'war' by killing 9 soldiers.
