You apparently don't have to be that smart to get in there. May be a good place to waste more federal student loan dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-7440317386787618212010-05-11T13:38:43.652-04:002010-05-11T13:38:43.652-04:00does anyone else have a problem reading the commen...does anyone else have a problem reading the comments in the new format of BIDER?

When you have little to live for and you are suicidally depressed, the barrier against your committing a violent act to further or express your belief system decreases. That is not to say that wealthy and comfortably middle class people will not engage in terrorism, just that it's harder to do when you are enjoying life or at least not suffering materially. I won't be at all surprised if we see an increasing amount of violence and terrorist-type attacks as our nation's economy continues to deteriorate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-11224243372901006632010-05-11T00:26:39.652-04:002010-05-11T00:26:39.652-04:00The title of this post made me say "uh-oh&quo...The title of this post made me say "uh-oh"<br /><br />Honestly, I've heard conflicting stories about his background, particularly whether he was fired or he voluntarily quit his job and went over to Pakistan. If he was laid off, then yea, I would think the recession was a contributing factor. But if he quit... well, I dunno.<br /><br />For some reason, at one point I came up with a theory that his wife or family was kidnapped in Pakistan and held as leverage for him to be an under the radar terrorist. Pure 1000% speculation, but there was something that triggered that thought in me.Archangelnoreply@blogger.com
