Agreed.

As a thought experiment: Imagine the owner of Google turned out to be a massive Trump supporter. Would it be acceptable to remove Hillary supporting websites during the run up to the election from search results as a political protest?

They can certainly accommodate a lot of people. They have over 100,000 air conditioned tents at Mecca which can hold over 3 million people:

Despite the facility to do so, they take in no refugees. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/12/facts-figures...

Agree. This demonstrates the political direction that Twitter is moving towards. When I was more naive I used to believe that papers reported the news - now I realize that they apply their political bias to spin news. This has now happened with Twitter.

Newspeak is happening before our eyes but not in the direct way Orwell imagined.

Like Ukraine?

Agree.

Judging her on her track record would just be sexist.

Correct.

These minorities shout blue murder if they think that it can get them an advantage, yet persist with racist and discriminatory practices that they have imported themselves.

It is likely a major piece of the puzzle and will also be due to reverence of their elderly.

I agree and it is ironic as journalism depends upon free speech.

Great writeup of a classic game. Loved playing it

> There seems something profoundly suciidally nihilistic in the idea that Europe should simply do nothing different and simply be more and more welcoming as attacks happen in an attempt to appease extremists until at last Europe is no longer populated by Europeans.

It reminds me of this fable:

Victimhood.

Complete straw man argument but not surprising from a self-hating liberal.

The article details the increasing causes of mortality in this group.

The sword cuts both ways.

Here is a story about a white poet that used an "ethnically sounding" name, as he would not get published as easily using his birth name.

I might start submitting a few submissions for conferences using a pseudonym....

Blue collar white Americans are being replaced by cheaper, less demanding migrant labour.

It is a bad time for those that are not academically gifted.

Everything is a straw man for you.

Muslims are the highest offenders for terrorism - should we treat them different?

How about this - it is very radical and might be hard for someone like you to handle.....

How about we allow companies to hire people by merit.

I apologise if it is a horrible thing to hear for authoritarian, "diversity officer" supporting, communists.

The irony of the left - they want to treat people differently based on their gender and skin colour.

In the UK, white British make up 40% of medical doctors.

Would you support quotas and biased hiring to increase the number of white British doctors? It would make it more representative of the population.

What about primary school teachers? If 9 females and 1 male go for a job, should the male always get preference?

Have a look at the pictures - it is full of chancers from all over the world.

Even the "children" often turn out to be adults. In this study, 260 of the 309 people investigated were over 18:

Your statement is extremely smug.

I looked at your other comments. You live in north England and earn £20k per year.

If you have children, you will find that this does not go very far. If that is your sole income then your standard of living will not be far above one of the recent economic migrants.

If your children is not as academically gifted as you, they will likely live a life of chronic underemployment and a far lower standard of living than you.

It is the simple rule of supply and demand. Bringing in large amounts of economic migrants will depress wages and drive up living costs.

One or two generations ago, one wage would have been enough to afford buying a house in a decent suburb.

For our generation, you need two incomes for a similar setup.

For your childrens generation it will be three incomes as you will need to significantly contribute.

Every day in Nigeria close to 20000 people are born and this is accelerating. Even if 1% chose to come over, it is demographic suicide.

It is our grandchildren that will suffer the most. We are giving away all that we have worked for.

The government should start planting more money trees so they can pay for it all.

Just remember to keep paying your taxes, which will increase, and dont complain if your standard of living goes down, your hospitals and schools are overcrowded, or your children cannot afford a tiny apartment.

The failure of the EU is becoming more apparent each day.

They cannot even account for most of their own spending[1], so they should definitely NOT be given more power.

For the union to work the richer nations must accept lower standards of living which is completely wrong (unless you are one of the poorer states).

The migration issue is a welcome demonstration of the farce. Rules, such as the Schengen agreement, are broken unilaterally and the views of the people are ignored.

The European Union is a post-democratic state.[2]

How pathetic.

It is like the ancient Greek comedies all over again.

Why dont we make the attractive people HAVE to sleep with ugly people first?

Make sure that the most able athletes in society mate only with those physically disabled from birth.

Those with the highest IQs mate with the mentally retarded.

The laughable thing is that you think that people should choose to go against their own personal preferences IS racist - you are asking people to change their dating decisions based upon race.

Then why is it a big deal to have a white actress play Tiger Lily in the current Pan film?

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/07/tiger-lily-pete...

Would you have been happy with a white south African playing Nelson Mandela?

He is a good actor but why dont they give him a different super spy film?

James Bond is a British spy of Scottish ancestry.

It would be cultural misappropriation.

This may be true for non-violent crime.

For violent crime, there is a direct correlation with black Londoners.

"In London in 2006, 75% of the victims of gun crime and 79% of the suspects were "from the African/Caribbean community."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_K...

This does not solely reflect lower socioeconomic standing as Pakistani + Bangladeshi communities have higher levels of poverty, and similarly poor areas of cities in Wales and Scotland do not have the same proportionate level of gun crime that occurs in London.

I think you mean black people

The author of the piece should add a times series on violent crime and shootings. These should decrease with time if the area is "up and coming"...

They want free stuff so they travel to the places that give them the most free stuff.

The problem is the long tail of sites or site features that don't work without flash and users who rely on those sites or site features.

I've heard Facebook video and last.fm streaming don't work without Flash for eg.
