    there's the selection effect; because high SES areas don't attract latinos and blacks (i.e. the poors). also higher incidence of bilingualism, better business relationships etc. more importantly, only the 'good' ethnics (i.e. the higher SES ones) move into high SES communities. the thing about...

    if you cared to read that article, or putnam's research (both past and current), you'd know that this wasn't a big deal as you're making it out to be. the conclusion is not that diversity is necessarily good or bad, but that its consequences are contingent. in the context of high socio-economic...

    aww that's no fun china has been the most populous 'country' in the world for thousands of years, and as a result has had one of the most sizable economies. the last two centuries have been an aberration in terms of the (lack of) chinese prestige, hence why the period of roughly 1820-1940 is...

    internment camps have worked before also, what don't you agree with? china has no operational ballistic missile submarines, and has a meager arsenal of around 20 (44 if you include the DF-31, which is more likely to fall out of the sky) intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching...

    Presidential Election

    now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. what point are you trying to make? that the war in iraq is definitively over? no one disagrees that the withdrawal wasn't significant, but it didn't 'end the war'. technically, the war was over in 2003 after the fall of the ba'athist regime. that...

    Presidential Election

    while it would be fun to pursue this line of enquiry, there are a number of things that distinguish this war from World War II and make the comparison spurious at best 1) the U.S. didn't start WWII. 2) WWII ended with an unqualified surrender by the axis. 3) the 'war' isn't over in iraq. the...

    because the U.S. has more personnel in iraqi than in all those "other countries" combined. the iraqi occupation continues, as does the sunni insurgency, and americans are still dying. you can hardly blame Christian for saying the war isn't over. the U.S. embassy alone employs 15,000 people...

    i never said the war wasn't over; in fact, i said quite the opposite. read up; what did you write, what did i write. you said "they're not there anymore". i said they are. and you agree with me. also, are you really equating the ongoing occupation of iraq with the "dozens of nations around the...

    Presidential Election

    no, i mean because at least 10,000 americans remain in Iraq to execute american foreign policy whims... they're just not 'troops' per se. i'm saying while the war is over, the occupation isn't and american forces in latin america and pakistan aren't just military advisers, either
