It wouldn't surprise me if places like Nigeria have a bunch of semi-whitewashed English speaking faces/voices to perform this kind of grey area work. Even better if some of their family is part of a hostage taking gang so they ca

Common sense 3d printer regulation. Nobody needs a device that can produce weapons of war. Sensible people will have no problem registering their printer, getting a permit, and universal background checks to make sure whoever they sell it t

Yeah. For the record I'm not against unions. It's just as a worker it's always been way too exploitive / exclusionary to be practical. I don't doubt it's great if you're a chosen apprentice due to conne

NBER research suggests unions correlate with lower relative employment for certain more vulnerable populations such as young and old. There's also the risk the union basically exploits the young and old by driving their wage from shitt

Does unionization really make companies more successful? If unions have such high interest in the company stability and success I presume the evidence shows union shop companies have more success and longevity after unionizing vs like ones

Cool. Let's repeal the chicken tax. Give workers with less privileged contracts less taxed access to the import truck market.

You're right. The Canadian armed forces swear allegiance to the monarch of Canada in the UK, the same man not coincidentally currently monarch of UK. The monarchy of Canada, an abstract idea nebulously exists perhaps everywhere (inclu

An abstract system has no physical location. The actual monarch, the flesh leading it, is in the UK.

It only makes no sense if you don't understand the monarch of Canada is in the UK, and thus is monarch in but not necessarily of UK. (But really the same dude and mostly defended as separate as some sort of weird commonwealth savi

The head of monarchy of Canada is residing in the UK. Being a monarch of UK isn't same as being monarch in UK. The Canadian monarch is in the UK, this is fact. >y're different sovereign entities that have the same office hold

Yes. And they are living in the UK. We're both right.

Nah referring to England's king.

The monarchy of Canada is the monarchy in the UK. But yes you're right. Pedantically we are both accurate as I intentionally didn't say they swore to the monarchy of UK. In any case it's a distinction that leads to the

Yes the military in Canada also swears allegiance to the monarch in the UK. So maybe he could order Canadian forces to attack the UK government when they try to abdicate him?

by salamanderss 3y ago
He'd still be commander in chief of Canada's armed forces. There's that at least.

I've been debating this with various people for years and you're the first person willing to pick one or the other. For the record I'm in agreement, although imo neither answer is wrong as long as consistent. What is insane t

Heller made clear that right of people is individual rights of persons. So for instance you still have fourth amendment right even when by yourself. Heller also clarifies the right is disconnected from militia service. I'm just looki

Ah k so those on non-immigrant visas aren't people, unless they buy hunting license to become a people? Does that make sense to you?

My assertion is people are people. If the Constitution says the right is to people then people have the rights if people. If you have no right to bear arms you're not a person and the first contrary to your claim does explicitly tail

So aliens have the right to bear arms in the US?

by salamanderss 3y ago
Part of the first amendment, specifically assembly and petitioning grievances is explicitly qualified to the 'people'. Aliens are not generally considered the 'people' in the US, as evidenced by them not being allowed a

But there is hilariously due process that probably protects those opinions once you've already snuck in. It's a wonder why people put themselves through the hassle of legal immigration where they have basically no rights, when the

DC v Heller makes clear the present day interpretation of the people conveys individual right. People is also said in the fourth amendment, surely you're not arguing individuals have no fourth amendment rights. In the first I'm s

Not great myself. Sometimes you move someplace specifically to assimilate with the culture because you feel it's a leg up from where you left. When it is infuriating is when someone comes from someplace that has been torched by faile

There are various cultural traits that are effectively as solidified as phenotype by the time you're old enough to be considered acting independently of your parent/guardian. Lots of these traits are also used as backdoor phenoty

Money. For the same reason I prefer rich immigrants who hate me and buy my shit over nice ones that end up on stamps after they get their papers.

Free speech is granted to the people. So probably not. Note right to bear arms is granted to 'people' therefore by deduction if you are barred arms you are not a person. Aliens are not typically considered 'people' in

My objection is the criteria is likely arbitrary and capricious and have more to do with ideologies of the sorts of people designing and executing this than public safety. Maybe the AI is better, maybe it is worse. On some occasions CBP ju

Migrants always pull up the ladder, they're no different than you and I. Look at South Africa, visas are a total nightmare meanwhile almost everybody there are from tribes that migrated in recent history.
