It's important to remember that in negotiations, both sides strategically establish their initial demands to be much more extreme than what they ultimately expect to receive. That is the case here. The Executive branch is posturing for

Of course the desires of a few obscure people are irrelevant to the actual merits of voter ID. There are some Democrats who support immigration because they hate white people and want to "Brown" the country. Does that mean immigra

That's just propaganda based on speculation about what the "other side" intends with voter ID laws. People want voter ID laws so that non citizens can't vote. This is the reason why many developed countries around the wo

That's a naive conspiracy theory. More likely culprit is the fact that Congress is in general unable to act on complex issues.

Think about what you're saying, the country was in tatters in the wake of a civil war precisely when it was not culturally homogenous. Finnish is spoken by the vast majority of the population today. Progress has been made largely due t

This is an important point to understand. Scandinavian countries are 1. Small, 2. Homogenous, 3. Culturally and demographically stable, 4. Economically stable. There are genuine differences that come with national scale that make comparison

It's actually very simple. The Flu has a stable amount of people it kills per year and is already quite established in the human population so it infects a very large number of people per year. nCov on the other hand is a new and poorl

You should look at the SquattyPotty. It's a raised platform that you put next to the toilet. You squat on it and do your business as you would at a traditional squat toilet.

Not trying to gaslight, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. In this hypothetical we're not excluding all, just some. The point stands and it is revealing.

In my post I said "preferentially choosing people of one race over another". Sure the hypothetical Country Club lets in some blacks, but it really sets a much higher bar for them. It sets a lower bar for other races. That is affir

Based on that picture alone? Some tall, some short, some old, some young, some men, some women, some skinny, some fat, etc. Lots of superficial diversity in that picture.

Do you know their backgrounds? Do you know whether they were raised rich or poor? Perhaps some come from the Eastern states, some from the West, others from the south. Some are young and some are old. Maybe some like classical music while o

Imagine if I owned a country club and it came out that I'm preferentially choosing people of one race over another, say actively excluding black people. How do you think that would be received? That's literally what affirmative ac

And yet a board of all women, all black men, etc. would be celebrated. This is pure racism and sexism. Unfortunately we live in an age when "white people" and men are unjustly blamed for many things, and the confluence of this bla

That's a good point. I'm reflecting on my own experience as an adult but as a child I was definitely more active than most of my peers. As an adult I've put considerable effort and practice towards controlling myself in socia

I think there's an important distinction between hyperactive thought and hyperactive outward activity. Most people associate ADHD with the latter when it's really more about the former, as this essay describes well.

The US is not imperialistic, that's just a cute talking point. That said I do agree we spend too much on our military. We should always spend more than any other nation to ensure dominance, but I'd imagine cutting the budget down
