It is definitely their choice to remain homogeneous. One way or another that choice will have strong consequences be they good or bad.
I'm pretty sure they are paying their taxes. To pay the minimum allowed by law is their fiduciary duty.
Re:People in Los Angeles Are Getting Rid Of Their Cars on Saturday September 03, 2016 @08:09PM (#12421911)
I live in nyc and owning a car is totally worth it. Today I drove to costco and sams club for some shopping. Tomorrow I'll drive to the jfk airport to pick up family. The freedom and convenience I get from it makes owning a car great. Even in NYC. Sure, I can go without a car but frankly it is a pain in the ass to go to costco or to the airport without. Convenience is my highest priority and owning a car is very convenient.

Is like trying to help your drug addict friend get better. No matter what you do if they don't help themselves it is a lost cause. Eventually you just have to keep going with your life and wish them well.

The drive to satisfy our curiosity is a human need and what drives scientists.
My dog used to do the same.

Re:Evidence on how to find the right career on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @10:22PM (#12310022)
I guess everybody is different. Having anybody depend on me makes me feel depressed. The only thing that truly makes me happy is working on my own projects. Anything that seriously distracts me from doing this is my enemy. I'm ok with spending a small percentage of my time with family but more than that and I will probably fall into deep a depression followed by a really angry backlash from me. Which is why I will probably never have a family. I don't think I can dedicate them the time they deserve.
So anytime now the first nations people are going to be kicking out all of us from the USA, I guess.

You mean like madoff?
Why would people boycot the mall? Why not instead the disfunctional gov? By boycotting the mall you would only make it easier for the gov to ask for a bigger bribe.

Already have this scenario. Nuclear powers are unwilling to go to war since we already know the outcome.
More than two parties is not that great either. At least here in the USA you need to win a majority of the electoral college to win the presidency or else congress will elect one for you.

So my joke below gets downvoted to oblivion and yet this trash is still here. Why?
I can already see Trump telling us that she is part of the Illuminati and his source will be The Enquirer.
Or in the wrong school. Which of unfortunately causes a revenge of the nerds syndrome.
I don't think it will ever be ok to be a pedophile which unfortunately you seem to imply it should be ok. Even back then lots of people knew slavery was wrong but could not do much about.
