I don't believe there is a need for a god to exist to explain the existence of the universe or of the human race but I've always felt that people are entitled to whatever theology makes them more comfortable with their own mortality so long as it doesn't leave their home or church.

I'm the same, though in the real world, not many people actually do this, and many of the most popular religions are evangelistic by nature. it is rather annoying to see public policy so riddled with religious influence.

Wonder if that shift will ever happen where religion itself gets less outwardly preachy when all that information can be so easily obtained by anyone interested. When religion was starting out they kinda had to be preachy to get as many converts as possible otherwise it wouldn't last.

if you liked gurren lagan you'd probably like kill la kill, flcl or panty and stocking with garterbelt but really you should watch madoka because it owns. it's also cutely animated when it's not in awesome bad acid trip mode

Ive kindof developed the personal policy of being agressively uninterested in any kind of evangelism, argument or acknowledgement just encourages them, I just look straight through them now matter how loud or annoying they're being. Works best with headphones on. Though I do make my votes and oppose any kind of religiously influenced policy, which to be perfectly fair 9 times out of 10 is just opposing any christian theology that tries to sneak into law since you really dont see any other religion with enough traction to be worming its way through the halls of local government outside a few isolated orthodox jewish communities that have managed to take over entire townships.

I dunno. Knowing a lot of people whose lives are currently based on visas I can see it kind of sucking to investing 15 years in a place only to be forced to leave.

He didn't escape drug lords in Guatemala to trek the desert only to hide from border guards but it doesn't make it any less valid a gripe.

He's going to be flying to basically wherever else he wants to be with the money he's made working in the US for the past 6 years after getting an education at Yale and Columbia. It's a far cry from people who are waiting in deportation camps separated from their American children because the US doesn't provide for minors who've been brought into the country to get a path to citizenship and they missed the deadline for getting it through their kids.

hes complaining about the immigration system while conflating many of the problems with it with problems that are literally just american capitalism (like lack of bargaining power) and implying that its not really a problem that its worse for unskilled and illegal immigrants

he's obviously very privileged especially relative to most other immigrants but i don't see why that's cause to smugly worship at the altar of our terrible immigration system because you don't like ivy league. also lol if you think that someone that went to yale and columbia has any money left, just ask warsz who went to the same 2 schools

But at the risk of being immodest, I should say that my American friends are right on this particular point. I am well-educated. I have contributed economically and otherwise to this country, which I love with the zeal of a convert.

I'm very happy with legislation which will make it much easier for people to immigrate here, but we could literally solve his problem with the "Give Any Graduate of a US Graduate or Professional Program Permanent Residency Act of 2016" and it would do nothing to most of the people I see my immigrant lawyer friends talking about on Facebook. Plus, he might end up moving somewhere else anyway, as the upper-middle-class successful professionals are wont, just later than he is forced to now.

If you feel that your time and energy can genuinely be better spent on something other than your current job, too bad; you will stick to this suboptimal work anyway, just because the risk of leaping to something else is too great. If you feel a desperate need to take time off to recharge your batteries, then don't expect to be able to come back. If your employer does something that truly troubles you, your American colleagues may resign on principle, New Republic style, but you have not the luxury of principles
