Durban is a city in South Africa; probably riots were happening there in the 80s .. www.durban.gov.za/eThekwini/

  Not that I want to impress the board myself, just out of curiosity, do you use econometrics at work?

I run a lot of regression models.  Factor-based risk models; expected returns, and the like.

Panic: Durban Riots, interracial conflict between Zulus and Indians in Durban, South Africa, in January 1949. In January 1949 a bitter racial conflict occurred in Durban. The consequent loss of life and property was officially given as follows: deaths; 142 (87 Africans, 50 Indians, 1 white and 4 others whose identity could not be determined); injured; 1 087 (541 Africans, 503 Indians, 11 Coloureds and 32 whites; of the injured 58 died); buildings destroyed: 1 factory, 58 stores and 247 dwellings; buildings damaged: 2 factories, 652 stores and 1 285 dwellings.

 So Morrissey was singing about Durban? No matter that the other places he sings about are all in the UK or Ireland?
 
 A simple google search with say, Dublin Dundee Humberside versus Durban Dundee Humberside, should be quite revealing.
 
 I still believe you are profound.

I for one would never mess with Steven Patrick Canker-Blossom on the subject of Smiths trivia.

Can you imagine spending every waking moment of your entire life conspiring/studying/planning how to murder massive numbers of innocent people in the name of Allah?  
 
 Hope the suicide bomber/bastard's "virgins in Heaven" turn out to be ugly crack whores who are sitting around in thongs, eating bacon sandwiches when he arrives.
 
  Too bad these clever hateful morons can't take all this energy and time, go back to their third-world countries, and figure out how to run real economies, uplift, educate and care for their own people, instead of blaming the Christian/Jews for their "plight". What a miserable bunch of fucks.

Is Saudi Arabia really considered a "third world country"?

No, it's a monarchy that's designed to glorify and benefit the wealthy royalty, and enslave the poor.  If you took away their oil, it's an impoverished, elitist hell-hole. Their version of Islam is particularly fucked up. Who do you think is protecting these terrorist cells?  By focusing the militant's misery and anger on outside enemies, the royal family keeps dissent from their own doorsteps.

No, even tho I am a Christian who grew up in Egypt...but I'm sure you're gonna tell me; and invoke a jihad against me?!!! Go ahead.

Perhaps we need to do a little history to work out what third world means: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Travel/Def_Third_World.html

you are really crazy.

It was a "figure of speech" and not a lesson in international economic scaling.  Don't even try to defend these bombings to me.  There's NO excuse.  It is a horrible strategy that furthers NO agenda.  I condemn abortion clinic bombers too.
