Removing people with a different skin colour from your country rather than simply murdering them all is called ethnic cleansing, and it isn't much better than outright genocide. The fact that some white supremacists claim they would ra

If you're not measuring it then it's pretty much subjective, no? You can't quantify what you don't measure. I don't know how you use Firefox and Chrome (I use both in work) but they behave pretty much identically as

I wouldn't say my inner monologue is speaking to me in my native language. That's just how my conscious mind tries to interpret it. I can 'think' without speaking to myself internally. My 'inner monologue' does

But they would have evolved with that inner monologue. It's not like it would be this strange thing to them. I was born with the inner monologue. I wasn't told by others what it was, I figured it out for myself. It's me. I&#x
