You're missing the point. No one will be caught entering the U.S., with or without a visa, in a Sunnyvale mall parking lot. All you will likely be able to catch is unlawful presence, which is a civil matter and not a crime.

I really don't think you understand the difference between unlawful presence and improper entry. One of these is a crime while the other is not. Restating your false premise at the end doesn't make it more true; unlawful presence

Unlawful presence is 100% of the offenses you'll be able to catch in a Sunnyvale mall parking lot, and it disproves the OPs contention that they are all "criminal, by definition."

Unlawful presence, which is all anyone at a mall in California could be charged with, is a civil matter, not a crime. Unless there's some international border in Sunnyvale I missed, I don't think the ALPRs will catch any illegal e

If you think Ayaan Hirsi Ali wants conversation rather than extremist actions, I believe you may have missed the bulk of her work. For example, this Reason interview ( http://reason.com/archives/2007/10/10&#x2F

Ignored it again, and don't be coy, come out and state your opinion.

You completely ignored the first part of my comment. It's convenient, too, that a ruling against the people you disagree with is considered just, but you'll withhold judgment if it's overturned.

What do you mean "there aren't others that are material?" Thiel himself has said that he's funding other suits against Gawker. The impending threat of a billionaire with a personal vendetta is a significant part of thei

Considering this is the only one of the lawsuits he's funded that he's revealed, it's unclear that all of them have merit. On top of that, they forum shopped this specific case and dropped claims that would have allowed Gawke

This sounds like it's meant to be a correction, but the post your responding to mentions neither legal fees nor damages. Are you responding to the right comment?

I think you're having difficulty distinguishing the concepts of "shunning" and "genocide."

by zardgiv 10y ago
Please try to follow the conversation. I was addressing the claim that shunning certain beliefs would cause society to collapse, and I've clearly demonstrated that to be false. Not sure how what you've ranted about here ties into

The marketplace of ideas means you don't get to dictate what others find relevant. For some, this means that they don't want to be professionally or socially associated with someone who thinks some ethnic groups make genetically g

No worries, I've tried to be precise but text is sometimes a difficult medium to get my point across.

I am stating that there are plenty of beliefs that do not cause society's collapse if we shun them. The only reason I mentioned Moldbug was that he's part of the dialog here, and I wanted to make sure people did not misconstrue wh

You're grasping a bit on this. Logic does not dictate that there were implied ill-feelings on 5F36B5F62640's behalf. In fact, I can categorically state that from the one post I've read from them I do not believe they have any

Where would that subhuman line be? If they think an adult from one ethnic group is as intelligent as an infant in another, but that there's nothing wrong with that, is that believing they're subhuman and hence racist?
19.
by zardgiv 10y ago
That was the example Moldbug used, claiming that Africans made genetically better slaves than Native Americans. 5F36B5F62640 contended that the groups that were not better slaves should feel unwelcome. This is just the basic logical implica

Under point 1, a belief that some ethnic groups are less intelligent than cattle, but believing that it is not a negative trait, would not be racist? I'd classify that as a racist belief, wouldn't you?

"Wrong-think" as a phrase is one of those thought-terminating clichés. People are voicing their disagreements with his professed viewpoints, yet you are using that cliche to dismiss them without addressing their viewpoints. This

If thinking ethnic groups are genetically predisposed to being poor or in jail is not racist, what would qualify as racist?
23.
by zardgiv 10y ago
Wait, so your argument is that only Native Americans would feel unwelcome in this community? Is this supposed to be in his favor? EDIT: For clarity
24.
by zardgiv 10y ago
This is absolutely silly. Just to take it to absurdity, and I'm not claiming Moldbug is a member of the Nazi party, but society would not collapse if we shunned people who espoused, for example, the ideals of Hitler and the Nazi party.

by zardgiv 10y ago
Do you think there's an ethnic group genetically more likely to be poor or in jail?

by zardgiv 10y ago
Oddly enough, he never made that claim re:men and women. I wonder why he focuses on certain ethnic groups. There's a lot of rationalization going on here for people that usually are quite capable of critical thinking.

by zardgiv 10y ago
Claiming that some ethnic groups are genetically good slaves is "not racist except in the non-PC way?"

"Controversial" is the pinnacle of weasel words. How do you feel about his belief that some ethnic groups are genetically better slaves, and do you think that his views would make people from those ethnic groups feel welcome in yo

He also claims that some ethnic groups are genetically predisposed to being good slaves. Please think critically about this, instead of just saying "well, he says he's not racist!"

Sorry, I may have missed this, but I don't recall them having committed libel. Do you have examples?
