    My best guess is to scan it and adjust the colors in Photoshop

    Do you have it in digital format already?

    I think the only thing surprising about that map is Texas' graduation rate. I thought for sure their map would look more like LA, MS, AL, etc.

    They do. They're just still waiting to find a student capable of graduating.

    Offutt air force base is there, was the first place the president went to post 9/11.

    It would be blown off the map for sure.

    With the important distinction that STRATCOM is at Offutt. It's what controls our nuclear weapons and major missile defense systems. Bellevue would be FUCKED.

    Texas changed their standards by which they define high school dropouts.

    When the state board made "God did it" an acceptable answer to any science question, it made passing those classes a lot easier.

    Not that surprising for the rural South. My sister teaches in a rural school in SC and the school is K-12. She says that during certain times of the year it's a challenge to get kids to come to school because their parents need them out working in the fields and helping provide for the family. So a lot of these kids get held back due to missing classes or something along those lines and then just stop bothering coming to school when they legally don't have to go anymore.

    Yet the Midwest can product more agriculture and still graduate kids at a higher clip.

    But it's still the Midwest so there is that major drawback. Plus it seems it's not too difficult to graduate in the Midwest.

    This map shows countries (in white) that England has never invaded. There are only 22 of them.

    I think a lot of these were part of larger countries or empires, not the current country.

    It'd be cool to see it broken down by county to see metro areas vs rural areas.

    All of China's neighbors in the South China Sea are highly concerned about China's aggressive actions in the region. There is territory that is disputed (in some cases by as many as 4 nations), and China is ignoring the other countries claims to that territory in order to build artificial islands on top of coral reefs there to install military air/naval bases.

    They also hate each other. They fought a border war pretty soon after our war with them ended.

    Proof that people are stupid and scared. A relatively small uprising of a militant group halfway across the world is the biggest concern for Americans. Fuckin' A. I feel bad for people who wake up in the morning and think "Fuck! ISIS is still around?! Better watch my back today" :facepalm:

    Looks like an international ranking of U.S.-centric concerns.
