Well, I guess terrorism might be arguable as a form of diplomacy...

Huh?

Click on the link. One of the fields in which they offer a degree as part of their global diplomacy program is international terrorism. It's in the small ad that runs above the text.

But you would need to consider: how many (legit) businesses will employ you if your resume shows your title to be "Master of International Terrorism"? :D

EDIT: On the other hand, how many would dare to refuse you...

SPECTRE, COBRA, Doctor Evil...

It's an MA - not a Doctorate.

/has one in the same field.

Made a silly mistake in explaining that going through US Immigration once. *ahem* ("Terrorism studies, it's in terrorism studies... crappit")

Given the impact of international terrorism on global politics, issues and diplomacy I'd be surprised to see a master's in diplomacy that doesn't have modules on the hows, the whys and the consequences of terrorism.

Hell, we're looking to cover aspects of terrorism on our Forensic Psychology masters due to the number of terrorists currently held in the high security directorate.

This said, it would be funny if the course was an MA in International Terrorism - great conversation starter at parties, not so much at immigration.

Huh?

You stole SaintB's signature joke. The one about the upside-down keyboard.

Yep, you stole it. I saw it in his sig. Then I saw it bigger, in red, in yours.

For shame!

Still can't understand why someone would want to repeat the same text with every friggin' post they make, sometimes hundreds of times a day, and still think it adds something to what they're saying...

many leaders of many nations seem to have thought so. especially those of the most dominant nations. some of whome, if you really want twisted irony, have received peace prizes.

Seeing the signatures is optional. So you have nothing to complain about.

Personally I have them turned on. The shape and colour identify the poster without having to drag my eyes all the way over (and sometimes scroll the page up) to the poster's name, and (b) they are often funny or informative the first time or when they change.

Once I found them annoying. It seems my visual cortex has built a filter for the content when they're familiar, so I don't read them over and over unless they're in huge text or an irritating colour.

Wha? I didn't know he had it, I've had it on my MSN for ages.

It's OK. It doesn't show. :tongue:

My visual cortex isn't of the filtering kind :D, so I'm glad the forum software has a filtering option for it. It's the only way I can "survive" on a forum like this.

But I believe this discussion pretty much constitutes a threadjack, while the original topic could make for much better fun. :p

Oh, how cute! It wants to shake hands!

I've only seen your posts for the first time this last few days. I'm liking you well enough.

I don't know SaintB that much better, though over a longer time.

So rather than taking sides, could I politely suggest that since SaintB used it here first, you find something else funny to put in your sig instead?

I won't hold any grudge if you say "no." It's just a style point really.

Suppose so.

There's a line limit to the sigs, no graphics or animated texts. Only the rankest of newbs use silly fonts. The default format is black on white. The avatars are small.

I'd say it's quite dignified. Though I am considering turning the avatar display off.

If having your real-life door kicked in by armed men in balaclavas counts as "fun" ... I guess.

Well, the way my front door jams, they better ring the door bell and ask to be let in, or I don't give 'em much of a chance. :p
On the other hand, if they don't charge for it, it might be a cheap solution to unjam it... :D

Like an insurance job. They kick the door in, grab you and take you off for questioning, impound your computer and your filing cabinet.

Six months later, having found nothing indiscriminating whatsoever, they have to fix your front door up real nice, provide you with a computer which isn't six months too old, and they've filed all your receipts in chronological order, which is handy come tax time.

Then they give you back pay for the time you spent in custody, not working a lick.

I love government.
