I'm sorry, but I disagree. Words have meanings. That's why slavery is different from indenture. And that's why racism is different from discrimination. Racism is a thought, an attitude, a mindset, what have you. Discrimination is an action. And "illegal" generally means "subject to...

The other four are piracy, war crimes, genocide, and torture. There are continual attempts to add terrorism to the list, but they keep tripping over definitions and disagreement on terrorism vs. assymetrical warfare. It springs from the obvious fallacy that if you drive a 500-lb bomb into a...

Do you deny that many people will use the harsh conditions of indentured workers in some bizarre attempt to mitigate the wrong of slavery? Here's another one. Did you know that there are still countries that have indenture, but slavery is one of the five violations of the jus cogens norms of...

Wrong. The "calf follows the cow." The child of a female slave was a slave. The child of a male slave had the status of its mother.

Racism isn't illegal for anyone. Discrimination is unlawful (not illegal). Racism is protected by the First Amendment.

I disagree. I sometimes hear of people from other cultures being "enslaved" in the U.S., by which they mean confined to the house and forced to work without pay. That's not slavery. Two key differences between that and the chattel slavery practiced in the U.S. is that a chattel slave is just...

Don't think much of that system. Creates too much ill-will.

Yeah, and you'll recall I pointed out that any such provision has repeatedly been struck down by the courts, and I suspect management knew that very well when they agreed to it.

I happen to agree. Not that it matters.

An individual legislator's thinking (and voting) can be influenced by whatever fairy tale trips his trigger. He just has no business imposing his fairy tale on folks.

Funny how with all this terrible anti-White discrimination, they still have half the unemployment rate of Blacks in the U.S. And half the unemployment level among college graduates. But that's OK, long as you can find something to whine about.

Poor White people. They're so oppressed.

Of course, their theology is no more sensible and no more supported than anybody else's, but least they give lip service to doing what's right because it's right, not because the Great Big Sky Daddy will give you candy and ice cream forever.

OK

Sure. . .

That's the model France, generally regarded as the best health-care system in the world, uses. Australia and Japan use variations on that model (Australia is "public option" insurance). There are good arguments for it. When health-care facilities are constrained by the sharp-eyed people at...

It'd sure as hell put them arrogant, pushy, Punjabi-speaking Canadians in their place!

I didn't vote for Trump.

Maybe y'all should take a lesson from that heaven-on-earth, Pakistan, and pick a minority language as your official language. They chose Urdu, even though only about 7% of Pakistanis speak it as their milk tongue, with Punjabi (48%), Sindhi (12%), Saraiki (10%), and Pashto (8%) way ahead...

Anybody who thinks that any health-care system can be anything but "two (or more) tier" is fantasizing. The smart play is to just acknowledge it and elevate the lower tier as much as feasible.
