I can't tell whether this is a satire or a parody.

It's simplistic because of the format. Its intention is to explain the general line of reasoning to the person who asked for it, not provide an exhaustive analysis. The article you've cited addresses immigration in general, not lo

In this case it would result in their being repatriated to their countries of origin. Usually these are ovens only in a figurative sense.

Ordinary people in the US benefit economically because of their citizenship. Many of these people possess few skills and would live in abject poverty doing the same work in other countries. Admitting large numbers of low-skilled workers inc

You aren't too old to do something new. People working in this industry are often required to display unfelt enthusiasm for things that really aren't terribly exciting. One can be forgiven for being through with this nonsense by t

If we applied this to traffic laws, people would insist upon traffic laws that better reflect the way they wish to drive.

Yes. Extraordinary people are significantly less common than ordinary ones. Therefore, admitting large numbers of people indiscriminately will result in admitting significantly larger numbers of ordinary people. Perhaps I was wrong to say &

Often stories of this sort are used to advocate a more permissive immigration policy, particularly toward those from Mexico and South America who have entered the US illegally seeking economic opportunity. Rational arguments seldom make the

The number of such people is probably many orders of magnitude fewer than the number of ordinary people who benefit from economic migration to the potential detriment of citizens already living in the country. Existing immigration policies

Possibly so, which is why decision-making is so often delegated to those who have no personal involvement.

From a more detached point of view, the question is whether law ought to be enforced irrespective of how it is violated. Many people would say yes.

I don't believe "a study" is needed to arrive at every conclusion under the sun. Just as I don't need a study to assert that I'm looking at a computer monitor right now, I don't need one to assert that people w

Shots fired. This article does not actually posit or examine the titular question. It merely states the statistic we all now know and then goes on a tangent about diversity in the tech industry. Pure clickbait, not worth your time.

For those of you lucky enough to have skipped the article, here's a summary: A few academics have noted that religious participation is declining in America, interest in spectator sports is increasing, and the two have a few broad simi

I think much of the dissonance we experience when evaluating Seneca's life comes from our separation from his time period. Concerning the particular issue you mention, possibly contributing to rebellion in Britannia by calling for debt

I recommend going to sleep if possible, or persevering with sleep in mind as something to look forward to. After waking, one tends to have a more harmonious frame of mind. A sense of depression (and I assume you're referring to the emo

At the risk of talking out of my depth, to me it seems very nearly a cliche in criticism to hone in on a person's inconsistencies in order to unveil him or her as a hypocrite. It ought to be well understood that human beings are not pe

It's quite possible to communicate romantic interest in a way that wouldn't make the other person uncomfortable or suggest disrespect.

As such a 20-something, I can attest that this is not universally true.

I think this approach would reduce one's probability of a successful outcome. It may actually be preferable that the call be somewhat unexpected, because receiving a call, particularly at this point in history, is a bit disarming.

Trust me, this is not true. Initiating contact is not only acceptable, but quite often preferred. Generally this approach is just protecting your self-esteem.

I've read a few comments deriding the complexity of this analysis. However, I think it is worth identifying it as a fact that, noticed or not, there is something of a power struggle in the early stages of the human courtship ritual. He

Why wouldn't one just call and avoid all this nonsense? It doesn't eliminate the wiles and ways by which we seek to gain the upper hand in a sapling relationship, but it does introduce a touch of humanity into the exchange which,

It's a different situation. The Kindle is popular and entrenched, the streaming media products not so much.

Obviously the presence of guns is not the only variable that differs between the US and countries with lower rates of sexual assault.

False indignation is a poor way to arrive at the truth. "Insulting," "destroy," "abhorrent," etc. Sheer emotion. You seem not to be familiar with Indian society at this moment in history. I won't trouble y

It's amusing that this article states outright that carrying a gun can "not really" make people safer, because guns are banned in so many places. Instead, Indians need "better policing" and "changing attitudes.

One way to witness that the notion of 'self' is bankrupt is to sit quietly, and gradually begin excluding all experiential input. Begin with numbing the bodily senses, then proceed to blind the mind's eye, and then stifle the

Perhaps this line of thinking is why many adults of today let the kids run rampage while matters of immediate importance to them go unattended. It is often difficult for a thinking person to admit to a sense of certainty, but at the risk of

So fantastic that the amount of time and energy this girl and her peers dedicate to its use is well directed? And here I'd thought it only enables one to send photographs to one's friends, with a scoring system to encourage the de
