somalian

The point is, if there is no central auhtority, someone will become that authority (picture somalian warlords, russia after 1917 revolution and so on).

Ok, Somalian government chops children's arms off say if they don't want to convert or something like that.

While this isn’t mind blowing Somalian starve to death poverty, it is a major contrast to a US upbringing.

Here's to hoping the Somalian pirates won't need to be as desperate by the time these ships set sail.

Australia also has a huge Somalian community (particularly in Melbourne) = plenty of great restaurants.

Indian emigrants may help India but I doubt Somalian or Libyan emigrants help countries they fled.

I work in the shipping/logistics industry and I assure you, Somalian piracy is not a threat to Wal-Mart's supply chain.

I'm really meaning Somalian pirates, which have shown repeatedly complete disregards for their own lives.

Not to mention the genocide on Christian Arabs, or kidnappings for sex-slavery of over 7000 female Yezidis by Arabic and Somalian islamists largely from Europe.

I was hoping this would be about startup costs for something like Somalian pirates...

Medieval Iceland, Ireland, Somalian xeer, various merchant law throughout history.

This is already about to happen in the UK where the last bank is trying to lose their Somalian remittance business and being blocked by a lawsuit filed by immigrants.

".so" is of course Somalia, and unless this is a Somalian startup, I don't think you should hand-wave away the connection.

For all we know, it might reduce crime to "Somalian in Scandinavia" levels rather than "Scandinavian in Scandinavia" levels - these are both crime levels which exist under Scandinavian policy.

Isn't it probable that a poor Somalian would say that an American working at Walmart who complains about his or her suffering is "out of touch" with "reality" as defined by the majority of humanity?

I understand that there are pirates elsewhere, let me rephrase: The only stories I regularly see about pirates are Somalian pirates, and the only times I have heard the "you should have some sympathy, they are poor and starving" line is in the context of stories about Somalian pirates.

Remember when the Hillary Clinton campaign released a photo of Barack Obama wearing a (Somalian) turban?

I am not particularly aware of modern non-Somalian pirates.

Somalian pirates have to play a careful game with opportunity cost: the ransoms they demand have to be less than the cost of eliminating them, and on top of that they have to not kill people.
