Yep, also a regional name for the area of the eastern Mediterranean. And welching on a debt, if you're British. :P Language is such a virus.

Nevada's cardiac arrest rate cracks me up. A lot of people losing big at the casinos.

This doesn't even get into the sub-divisions of these ethnic groups, either.

As I said, if you'd like to make a rational case for unequal rights between social majorities and social minorities, then feel free.

Very true, but the clear correlation, across those European cultural differences, between education and tolerance remains.

And yes, culture plays a clear influence as well. I don't compare Asia and Europe in much at all, aside from PISA scores.

In terms of percentage of population, according to eurostat, northern Italy is in the lowest European percentile. Southern Italy is better.

Bigotry comes in degrees, it's not a binary condition. Italy has anti-discrimination laws. It could be worse. It's still not good.

Willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

If you have a rational reason for unequal rights between social majorities and social minorities, the floor is yours.

There's a correlation, worldwide, between education and tolerance. If your hang-up is whether or not it's formal, then I concede that part.

True, hence the survey being self-reporting of any education whatsoever.

Two hundred and twenty five thousand people in 30 different countries.

Those same countries also have higher rates of education in general. More doctorate students, etc. Active mind vs inactive mind correlation.

Yep, it's from the eurostat Adult Education Survey. Any sort of training or education.

It's the percentage of people between 25 and 64 who had voluntarily received education within 4 weeks prior to the survey.

"was not allowed to use time stamps with the actual dates (1848 - 1850) so had to put in 1974 - 1976 instead."

It's the symbol of Iceland's Nationalist Party.

His brother (who I also captured and fixed) loves belly rubs. :P This guy doesn't even like having his head scratched.

I believe I would employ the "finders keepers" defense of the case of gradeschooler v sibling, 1986.

Wobble of the earth's axis, actually. Location in orbit around the sun has no impact on seasons.
