I can't tell whether this is a satire or a parody.

It's simplistic because of the format. Its intention is to explain the general line of reasoning to the person who asked for it, not provide an exhaustive analysis. The article you…

In this case it would result in their being repatriated to their countries of origin. Usually these are ovens only in a figurative sense.

Ordinary people in the US benefit economically because of their citizenship. Many of these people possess few skills and would live in abject poverty doing the same work in other c…

You aren't too old to do something new. People working in this industry are often required to display unfelt enthusiasm for things that really aren't terribly exciting. One can be …

If we applied this to traffic laws, people would insist upon traffic laws that better reflect the way they wish to drive.

Yes. Extraordinary people are significantly less common than ordinary ones. Therefore, admitting large numbers of people indiscriminately will result in admitting significantly lar…

Often stories of this sort are used to advocate a more permissive immigration policy, particularly toward those from Mexico and South America who have entered the US illegally seek…

The number of such people is probably many orders of magnitude fewer than the number of ordinary people who benefit from economic migration to the potential detriment of citizens a…

Possibly so, which is why decision-making is so often delegated to those who have no personal involvement.

From a more detached point of view, the question is whether law ought to be enforced irrespective of how it is violated. Many people would say yes.

I don't believe "a study" is needed to arrive at every conclusion under the sun. Just as I don't need a study to assert that I'm looking at a computer monitor right now, I don't ne…

I think much of the dissonance we experience when evaluating Seneca's life comes from our separation from his time period. Concerning the particular issue you mention, possibly con…

At the risk of talking out of my depth, to me it seems very nearly a cliche in criticism to hone in on a person's inconsistencies in order to unveil him or her as a hypocrite. It o…

It's quite possible to communicate romantic interest in a way that wouldn't make the other person uncomfortable or suggest disrespect.

As such a 20-something, I can attest that this is not universally true.

I think this approach would reduce one's probability of a successful outcome. It may actually be preferable that the call be somewhat unexpected, because receiving a call, particul…

Trust me, this is not true. Initiating contact is not only acceptable, but quite often preferred. Generally this approach is just protecting your self-esteem.

I've read a few comments deriding the complexity of this analysis. However, I think it is worth identifying it as a fact that, noticed or not, there is something of a power struggl…

Why wouldn't one just call and avoid all this nonsense? It doesn't eliminate the wiles and ways by which we seek to gain the upper hand in a sapling relationship, but it does intro…
