Yep, it is the responsibility of the rapist (in case of the girl) and the responsibility of the murderer in case of a store clerk. Desire to save money (for the government - by having larger police present, for store owners - by not hiring extra security) is a very natural thing, except that for...

I do not know, but maybe it is the job of the Police, not the store owners, to prevent crime? It does not take much to extend this logic to say "kind of shows a complete disregard by women who decide to walk on the street in mini-shorts and tight t-shirts".

Sure, we need immigration. High-skilled immigration that will benefit Canada, not refugee baby-producing machines. And about multi-culturalism: are you sure it is good? Agree about the food, but we do not need that many immigrants for it. And some "culture" makes current citizens uncomfortable -...

So? This is anecdotal evidence and can be considered a cost of discrimination. Of course, discrimination may result in actions that are incorrect ex-post, but they may as well be correct ex-ante based on the available information at that time. Example: you live near a high-crime neighborhood and...

OK, let's debate. For the entirety of the past debate, I have never framed "rational" as "moral". Actually, the fact that I said that "rational" and "unacceptable" are not mutually exclusive (sorry, I made a typo in my post #138 where I said that unacceptable policy cannot be rational" - what I...

Finally someone uses logical arguments against discrimination / systematic racism. This argument I can agree with. Reducing crime is a public good and reducing systematic racism will reduce the poverty and crime rate among black, eliminating that confounding factor behind the correlation, and...

Believe me, if big people have an option to pay 20% more for a 20% wider seat (and Business class seats are about 20% wider than Economy) they will take it. The big person is the one who has the highest discomfort in the economy seat, not the person next to him. Unfortunately, there are no such...

The difference is that business class is much more expensive then 1.5 times the economy, especially for transatlantic flights (even premium economy is more than 50% above the economy) comes with additional perks and too much leg room that are not needed. It was a good idea to introduce "extra...

This post clearly indicates that you cannot read or comprehend. You basically repeated what I was saying: the fact that blacks commit more crimes per 1000 of their population is not because they are black but because they were raised in bad environment with low income and high crime rate...

Or boy, I just hope in real life you are a different person. For your lies and your post, please, scroll up to post #100 and see for yourself what you said. As for the rest of your nonsense in the post I am replying to now, if you can still fail to understand that it has nothing to do with what...

To the previous 3 posters: guys, it is becoming boring. You refuse to debate using formal logic. You always mix what is best for the individual (and it includes his caring for his family) with what is best for the majority of people, and you blandly assume that if something is better for the...

And yet another lie from you. go back to your post. You said I am doing it, not that you think I am doing it. Huge difference. Huge.

I could not miss the opportunity to comment on this one, so I am back :). But I promise to get away when it becomes too boring here. Thank you, Valzazar, for making this comment which allowed me to offer an example where "pull up the ladder behind me" is completely rational and maximizes your...

Sorry guys, but Franky's lies and some repetitiveness make it no fun anymore 😥. I am out :). I hope everyone had fun participating in this debates :)

Nope, I got most of my education abroad
