   This seems to indicate that the borders themselves are an intensional form of profiteering. I see this more as the incremental and accidental process that takes advantage of the peculiarities of geography.

   I think you confuse the proliferation of techno-toys with quality of life. The same could be said of the proliferation of radio, automobiles, etc.

   I don't know if I follow. Are you saying you've travelled to 52 different countries and found that they all exist on the same planet populated by a species devoid of interplanetary travel and that they have set up a system of art

   I've considered this and deemed it to be false. A great counter example is Imperial China around 1300-1400AD. They were fantastically wealthy and politically stable yet "western values" did not develop.

   Interesting. Let put this into action. How about you try to hitchhike across western europe or japan and document your experences. Then try to hitchhike across the middle east or subsaharan africa. Let me know how that one goes for you.

   I think all you have to do is look at modern American income disparity in the United States over the last 50 or so years and you have your answer. Sure, the poorest did become moderately better off financially in terms of wages. Yet did t

   You know we tried this during the Mexican-American war. It turns out the Mexicans are still pretty sore about this. If borders were a purely economic construct I might agree with you. However, they aren't, not even primarily. Remove

   ^^^^^^ I would also like to ask to whom would the majority of that increase in wealth go? I would argue it wouldn't be to the people doing the moving. It would be to the people driving them to move.

   > Thankfully, neither are the problems that society is faced with. True, yet I think we can agree that some problems are more easily solvable than others. Likewise, solving some problems will have greater positive impact on society as a

    I think this comment encapsulates pretty clearly the "ally" role advocated by "diversity" "experts".

    Sure, but how do you prioritize which ones to solve? The capacity for a society to solve problems is not infinite. Furthermore, how do you define what a "problem" is for a society? It seems "because it happened to me"

    I fear the current "Diversity" zeitgeist has become a shakedown scam by so called experts to line their pockets based on the threat of bad PR. In my experience these "experts" and "founders" advice on attainin

    I wonder if Google would ever bring the author of this book on to their campus for a talk about some of the biological differences between the sexes? I'd love to be in the audience for that presentation.

    So its ok for a group of masked citizens with no legal authority to physically abuse another human being for what that person thinks and says. I'm not talking about moral equivalence nor condoning his beliefs. I'm simply interes

    And yet you haven't pointed out what I've missed. Are you or are you not condoning extrajudicial violence by masked vigilantes? Simple question, a yes or no will suffice. Also asking a simple question is far from "gushing ap

    It seems to me you are promoting guilt by association while condoning extrajudicial violence by masked vigilantes against those exercising their constitutionally protected rights. Or did I miss something?

    It seems from the comments from the individuals involved in the incident that the "perpetrators" of said offensive have been genuinely apologetic and remorseful. While Ms. Richards although apologizing for the fact that one of the jokers l
