And? Personal anecdote has no bearing on the question of whether or not foreigners are ethically or morally entitled to immigration and citizenship, or whether the process should be made easier.

This common argument is disingenuous. You hide behind the term "inclusive" as though everyone is treated equally but simultaneously believe that >Excluding skin color and gender is being blind to prejudice, not fighting it. Whi

This attitude promotes prejudice, merely redirecting it to whatever demographic is convenient to paint as "dominant", it will never solve the problem because it explicitly prescribes different treatment based on ethnicity/gen

So because this land was colonized 500 years ago (as it was before Europeans arrived as well by the way, native Americans were not pacifists), we shouldn't enforce borders? How much time must pass after a land is conquered before natio

Are foreign peoples entitled to US citizenship? Where is the obligation to make the process easy and open to everyone coming from?

No, I'm saying that there is a limit to the degree of accomodation they should expect from groups that they join, and have no right to demand special treatment and cultural change. But in the modern West this freedom only applies to fe

No, not even remotely what I'm saying. People of all cultures are free to work/play wherever they want; but the onus is on them to partly or fully assimilate. Especially if they're joining a functioning team. The issue is thi

Isn't that the point of a signature? An opportunity for a recipient to accept or reject a package based on it's condition?

I shipped 6 1080TIs out to a buyer a few years ago. He tore open the package and pretended that 4 of the cards were missing. This was a signature delivery, which means the buyer ostensibly accepted the package with a giant hole in it if his

I don't think emissions should be a concern at all for a reforestation project, unless orders of magnitude more waste is emitted compared to that absorbed by a tree over, say, 10-20 years. Forests pay long term dividends beyond carbon

Adding Apple to the list of companies I'd never work for. White men are just supposed to shut up and take the increasingly open discrimination? This isn't equality. And it won't actually lead to equity either, but we all will
