I heard that Bayani in the next village over had some dayuhan pay him 5000 pesos to take them out in his boat and look at the whale sharks! If we could keep our local whale shark population here instead of migrating down the coast, they would pay US rather than them! In two days we would make more than we did all last month! Let's get some food and see if we can encourage the whale sharks to stay here...
Corals are all over the Philippines - whale sharks, not so much... Tourists will pay a lot more to swim with whale sharks; you can go to nearly any beach in the Philippines and find corals.
The problem is actually poverty. The locals are incredibly poor, and found that having a few whale sharks nearby meant that wealthy Westerners would come and give them lots of money to swim with the whale sharks. So when the choice was to live with a pristine coral reef in abject poverty, or let some damage happen to it but actually earn enough money to send your kids to school and buy some modern conveniences, the locals chose the heartless approach of putting their own lives ahead of the corals.
which means ensuring that women using the platform are able to express themselves freely and without fear.
What about those who are using the platform to express their disagreement of or dislike for those women? Should they not be able to express themselves freely and without fear too?
It totally depends upon the political position of the women being disagreed with/disliked. If the recipient is liberal, then it's hate speech and abuse; it they are conservative then it is justified completely and those "women" need to shut the fuck up because they are spewing hate speech and should have their accounts closed down immediately and forever.
Israel has a wall across its entire border. It works. China had one across part of its border. It didn't work. Israel is modern times. China's wall was ancient times. Walls work.
The pass was used by the Mongols, and that is why it didn't work. But you keep wanting to ignore the fact (even Politifact confirms) that a wall works in Israel. You know, modern times, not people on horses... Why do you deny the fact that a wall cuts illegal entry by 99%?
Keith Ellison is on record - in the link I provided - as stating that borders are "an injustice" and that anyone should be able to "go back and forth across the border seeking out the highest wages". And wore a shirt that literally proclaimed (in Spanish) "I do not believe in borders." I don't know how you can spin that to a position that he does not believe in open borders - unless you mean he doesn't believe in open borders because he believes there should be NO borders.
Leave Syria? Yes. Right now. And I don't think I'm sadly mistaken; Assad is a bastard, but he's not a bastard who targets destroying other countries. We're not at declared war with Syria - so let's get out. You want to stay? Fine - be the bloodthirsty hawk on this one...
Yep, they were willing to pay for it out of their own pockets. I guess now they won't support it because the President wants someone else to pay for it?
The wall wasn't effective because it stopped short. It stopped in Jiayuguan, about smack-dab in the original borders of the Mongol Empire. Kublai Kahn simply had to ride around the end of it... And in modern times, we see - as I linked above - walls work. Even for determined illegal aliens.
There is no cut in manpower for CBP in the budget; a wall makes it easier to patrol (a defined barrier with a clear path along it). And whilst our barrier would be ~3 times as long, we have ~40 times the population and spending to allow for it. If it works - it works. It's just a matter of political willpower.
Then you're all for expanding funding for ICE, right? That's the role of ICE - to identify, arrest, and deport those here illegally. So let's trade wall funding for a 10X increase in ICE budget and activity. Sound good?
Except walls work to control borders. For those overstaying their VISAs, that's what ICE is for. But there's a group who wants to disband ICE because they do exactly what their charter and the law requires of them - identify, arrest, and deport illegal immigrants.
You meant to write that Schumer backed off after he got heat from the extreme left wing of his party, right? It wasn't Trump who backed off - it was Schumer. Or is PBS now a conservative mouthpiece of the Trump Administration?
Walls work, cutting illegal immigration by 99%. Provided it's done right, and you actually extend the length of the border (which the Great Wall in China does not).
Type in ALDI into Google. It probably comes up with aldi.us - which is what the reference is to. It's a grocery/sundry store chain based in Germany with around 10,000 stores world-wide.
When I was 11, we were raving about the first Star Wars movie in the theaters, the PET/Trash-80/Apple II, and CBs were the way you did any long-distance communications. Now get off my lawn...

MSFT and AMZN are up for the year... GOOG is down half of what AAPL is for the year. It's really AAPL that has taken the big tech hit this year.

Two things:
1. Which society - the US or Saudi Arabia?
2. Examples of bias against women (measurable - not what you feel, but what actually the result is)?

Don't worry, this study will be used to tighten down the Rust Code of Conduct...

Huh? I can't find the massive ads on my Note 8... I guess I'm not looking hard enough?
Why? They're down 15% this year...

I would LOVE to pull out from all overseas military "actions". But is seems the Democrats are all up-in-arms over that very move...

Former congressman and DNC chair Keith Ellison. There you go! He even attended May Day parade wearing a T-shirt stating he does not believe in borders.

Schumer, Pelosi, Obama, Clinton - all supported a wall back in 2006. What's changed since then? Their own political fortunes. Not a whole lot else...
