  • @Rufus said: As a citizen of a country that embraces and celebrates diversity, successfully, your assertion is nonsense to me. My Canadian relatives are against immigration and always have been as far back as I can remember. Your country …

  • I think that might be what fenomas was aiming at.
  • There's nothing magical about being founded by immigrants. All countries on the planet were founded by immigrants.

  • We know that some brain chemistries make various persons more disposed toward anger, fear, depression, anxiety, etc. In some sense we can say that a given disposition lessens someone's free will. For example, someone who feels a lot of habitual ange…
  • If you like weird fiction, The Gods of Pegana by Lord Dunsany is great.

  • I don't believe that study. I've seen other studies that are far more convincing. There is nothing wrong with simple nationalism, and there is no reason at all that citizens should have to share their country if they prefer not to. Cultural diver…

  • The brain works as a immensely complex network of neurons that receive stimulation from other neurons. If the stimulation of a neuron reaches a threshold, it sends an electro-chemical pulse down the axon, i.e. it fires, which stimulates other neuron…
  • Citizens have a right to be here. Immigrants do not.

  • The first amendment is mentioned in the press frequently. You'd think that just about all Americans would at least get freedom of speech, press, and religion, but apparently not.

  • @Rufus said: Not content with deporting illegal immigrants, now the Trump administration wants to start deport the legal ones too. Reading the article, this is rational behavior on the part of the United States. Most immigrants are not of…

  • A lot depends on whether someone is capable of knowing right from wrong but chooses the wrong action. If a three year old trips someone at the top of the stairs, there will be no punishment because the three year old isn't capable of telling right f…

  • I've always wondered if he average conspiracy theorist actually believes the conspiracy or just pretends to believe the conspiracy in order to make life more amusing.

  • Trump has an advantage over much of his opposition (I can't estimate what percentage) in that he isn't insane.

  • @fenomas said: That's utter nonsense. Most cops are white; do you go around claiming the police controlled by the whites? Well, yes, in most jurisdictions. If you want to claim the press is controlled by the Democrats, look for evid…
  • It does support the claim. It doesn't absolutely prove it, but it does support it. It's easy to show that those institutions are majority Democrat or lean Democrat. If you want to show that despite this being true the Democrats don't actually con…

  • @fenomas said: "Hollywood is controlled by the Jews" and "this study says N% of Hollywood producers are Jewish" are separate, indeed unrelated, claims. Surely even you see that? I certainly wouldn't say that they are unrelated.
  • Prediction about Supreme Court: Brett Kavanaugh is neither a Nazi nor a fascist. There will be no earthshaking changes in the Republic. If Roe v. Wade is eventually overturned, abortion will remain legal in most states. Some states will outlaw it…
