Ok so stay in India and build businesses in India. What’s so difficult about this for you? You’re not entitled to move to another country nor am I. If we have too many people from one place how can we build a multicultural society? If you’r

Incredibly poor rebuttal. 1. Saying “you’re unaware and I’m too lazy to post links” means you don’t know enough (and no I don’t care if you’ve immigrated before) to discuss the point. 2. Yes some countries allow people who secure jobs to wo

No. I mean people who are African from Africa and Hispanics as colloquially defined. Should Indian engineers get precedence over them?

You’re implying we should just welcome every Indian to the country. Sorry I’m more concerned with making sure Africans and Hispanics can make it here. Maybe Canada should do the same? Instead of increasing brain-drain on the rest of the wor

Ok so Canada makes it easy for high-skilled while US makes it easy for low skilled. What’s the problem? Should we deport and restrict immigration unless you’re high skilled? The point is that the US is very forgiving and easy going with res

Sorry but this is completely ridiculous and disingenuously undermines the OP's very good point. First, even if some Americans don't support universal healthcare, that doesn't mean that all Americans don't support it. Eve

Then the correct approach is "you are likely not ready for this material, I recommend you do XYZ and come back". There's no problem with telling a reader they are not ready for a text - in fact, it can save them time. The way

Which could be a fine solution, except one or more groups still are making rules which affect the lives of all of the other groups. So disengaging means letting other groups you may disagree with dictate parts of your life.

It's also in your nature to murder other humans, steal things, and participate in all sorts of mischief. If you're of a certain disposition it's in your nature to rape children, maybe hang cats, or try to destroy the lives of

Agreed, though we will all need to pray that GPU costs come down - I saw 1080s on Amazon going for $1400 the other day, granted it was just a spot check and I’m sure it’s cheaper elsewhere.

People don't have the money to spend on clothing, but can spend it on experiences and travel? Either one of those seems like a free money purchase, with clothing being less of one. I don't disagree with your assertion that wages h
