Level 6 · 9 mo agoIt annoys the shit out of me when researchers say poverty is not a factor. Just because the leaders are rich does not mean the kids blowing themselves up are not desperate for a paycheck and a future.

Level 8 · 8 mo agoSaying terrorists aren't mentally ill is total bullshit. You have to be completely fucked in the head to think blowing up civilians is a divine duty.
