Don't forget that Communism will place you at the top of the Gini coefficient. I am sure that North Korea is somewhere near the top of the UN quality of living charts.
It also uses litteracy rates. For the large populations in teh south that do not speak English, I would think they would have a hard time passing a litteracy test.
There are many problems with the UN Human Development Index anyways. Like Americans are 'too healthy' as in they eat too damn much and their life expectancy suffers. This is obviously going to be grasping if you want to equate this with education standards.
Proof's in the pudding bitches!
The issue was education . .
I'm not going to even bother to look at your unreferenced abstract from a 2 page article published FOUR YEARS ago in a small bulletin . . .
Scott you ever study economics, you know the part whereby a larger country has a higher production of goods?
I assume you have already looked at the Purchasing Power Parity figures as well then. Well, what did tha tell you?
Some ROI - a socialist shithole, filled with secularist, boring, white-bread fuckheads who think their shit don't stink. You rival the French in your baseless pride.
And we know more than you do.
That's right... you know that because
I must know where they go to mature, cause I do it for a living. Most salmon are taken right before they go into the river.
You know where they are gonna go and you can set up to prevent it. In the open ocean, you have little to no chance to catch a salmon. Especially if you wanna make a profit doing it.
The two main forces at work here are:
1) Overfishing (over 99% done via commercial nets)
2) Habitat destruction. If the eggs are not able to mature, you obviously will not have any salmon. That is why so much work i done with bank stabilization and stuff.
Both are problems that need to be addressed. The only practical thing that I can do is work on the habitat so that is what I focus on.
Interesting point. It seems that if he acts like a Christian, you blather on with out of context quote about church n' state. If he acts according to secular norms, you call him a hypocrite. I would really like to see how you rationalize this...
