Y would both of u guess otherwise? I would have guessed something in the humanities based on the way you write and think about things.

I'm guessing to take an evolutionary psych course means he probably majored in psych, or perhaps biology or something related and took evolutionary psych as an elective, no?

Wadani;940576 wrote: Yeah it's pretty interesting. One of my profs was a well known evolutionary psychologist. Is that what you studied, Wadani? I wouldn't have guessed that.

She's very pretty, but everyone in that vid could use an extra 20 lbs lol

I kept trying to imagine the state of mind of the "hunted" today as I was watching the events unfold, wondering what he must thinking and feeling, probably hiding somewhere injured and terrified and knowing that it is only a matter of time before his life comes to an end in one way or another. I am sad that at 19, he made the choices that he did and I hope we can find out why. But that's where my sadness ends, because at the end of the day he is responsible for so much physical and emotional pain and heartache in this city and he doesn't deserve our sympathy. This photo in particular is still haunting me, where he's caught in the same frame as the 8 year old he murdered: Blackflash;940194 wrote: It's not the issue of unfair generalizations I'm failing to understand, my problem lies with the reaction to any criticism I or anyone else gives. Even when discussing the potential case of a Canadian-Somali student playing a role in a Mogadishu attack the other day, a friend of mine immediately deflected the blame on to the Canadian government, and their supposed inability to 'understand' the Somali community. Why can't one discuss endemic problems, of course taking in to account any perceived obstacles (discrimination, prejudice etc.), rather than wait until said obstacles dissipate? Fair point.

SomaliPhilosopher;940187 wrote: I am sorry safferz I am not familiar with such saying. Is that some sort of sexual innuendo. If so, such advances are not appropriate on this site. Lets keep it professional. lool no, in this case it means you're making a failing argument and reaching for any idea/interpretation/argument you can think of to make it work There is nothing sexual about straw.

Blackflash;940180 wrote: I have an honest question that stems from the denial of the validity of these events by every Muslim on my Facebook feed. Why are they so easily offended by the idea of two Muslims killing in the name of Islam? Whether it's the Illuminati or baby-eating Jews, they'll claim someone else is behind these 'blatant false-flag operations', and choose instead to ignore what's happened in London, Madrid, Toulouse and now Boston. Please refrain from citing the OKC bombing, Sandy hook and Aurora shootings. This isn't about the events themselves, but the butt-hurt that ensues afterwards. (I am going to cite OKC, Aurora, Sandy Hook and other white male crimes though...) I can't say I've ever seen denial in the way you've described it. But I can certainly understand the frustration with the discourse surrounding terrorism -- how it's seen as something acted out by foreigners (read: Muslims) against "us" (read: Americans/Westerners), and how every attack - even when we know very little about it - is always narrated in those terms. Even what counts as terrorism is deeply shaped by these ideas. What do we know about the Boston suspects' motives? Why are we so quick to assume that their Islam or their ethnic background had anything to do with their criminal acts? The issue here is that when you are a Muslim, or any other minority for that matter, your crime becomes representative in the eyes of the majority as an example of your group's pathology. A white criminal, on the other hand, is one "bad apple" and a troubled individual.

This is why it took so long to catch the suspect:

Song choice is not intended to threaten you btw lol

SomaliPhilosopher;940162 wrote: Safferz why are you listening to music on youtube. Go to a club, get your 2 step on, maybe twerk here and there, and celebrate. Its Friday and your city is free and is no longer held hostage by a ex communist now jihadist teen ruski. haha you're right SP, I'm still a little tense from the last 24 hours and haven't gone outside yet. But I plan to go for a walk in the morning, grab coffee and get some fresh air In the meantime, the dance party will have to be at home:

I'm happy he's been caught, but I do think there's something more to this display of state power in the pursuit of a 'terrorist.' It'll be interesting to see how things go from here.
