Absolutely. I've interacted with people from dozens of cultures all over the world. There outlook on life, goals, dreams and aspirations have been remarkably compatible with mine. Cultures 'flourish' when they exist in a legal/political system emphasizing the rule of law and individual rights...

I know right? Black Irish culture couldn't possibly exist alongside Protestant English/Germans, much less that of Italian Papists. Certainly Chinamen/Japanese/Koreans would be unable to cope with Western civilization and fail to prosper while polluting 'our' culture. Don't even get me started on...

Certain races simply don't possess the qualities to orchestrate a global sex-trafficking network effectively.

In New Zealand?

Two countries thousands of miles away without blue water navies aren't even remotely a threat to Greenland, especially given that it is flanked by numerous countries hostile to Russia and China who DO possess blue water navies. It's one of his most clownish arguments, which is really saying...

The 'Golden Age'....for China. It makes me apoplectic what this fucking idiot has done. All we had to do was maintain the status quo and be a strong partner throughout the globe and China would collapse under its own demographic issue and massively inefficient capital allocation. But no, the...

Deadly crimes?

Saw the Dead about a dozen or so times back in the day. Still the most unique concerts I've ever been to. As always youth is wasted on the young. I had only mild appreciation for what I experienced. This is one of those events where you really wish you could turn back the clock.

Here are some things we could do to protect our economic power that have been proven to work for damn near a(n American) century: 1) Encourage/promote global free trade with minimal barriers/tariffs. 2) Invest in and encourage higher education, as a huge (and growing) % of our wealth is derived...

Fuck no. That would create issues Trump has no plan whatsoever to deal with.
