Invisible Man's latest activity

That's not what his post says. It wasn't comparing foreign students from those countries studying in the US with American students studying in the US. It was comparing college seniors in those foreign countries (i.e. Indian students who stayed in...

Is that Trump's version of the story? Or someone else's?

In order for this to be the case, it is logically impossible for those rulers to be the deciders of what is just or what is deserved. Therefore, your claim that we are the deciders of what is just, or what is deserved, because we are the rulers...

You are confusing is and ought. "Justice" refers to ought. "Deserve" refers to ought." "We are x," is a statement of what is, whether it be just or deserved or not. Rulers can and usually do rule unjustly and give others and themselves what...

Then it is not justice. Earlier you said justice was everyone getting what they deserve. The law that governs what people deserve, if such a thing really exists, is not up to you and me to make.

And if we accept that there exists any law that governs what people deserve (i.e. justice), then this law is not "our" law; it is not something that we have any control over; nor does it allow for the president to do anything that would be unjust...

Justice is not something that can be "ours" or that can depend on laws that people choose to write. We don't get to vote on justice or invent our own version of it. Justice, if it exists at all, is a universal, transcendent, and timeless law that...

In your post that I quoted, you referred to justice. Justice does not have one set of requirements for the president and another one for everyone else. There may be manmade laws that do that. But justice cares nothing for what those manmade...

Sorry for bringing this back to life, but I was thinking about what I said here, and the last sentence of what I said in the above quote isn't true. If you did try to pay off a loan with payments that were always half toward the interest and half...

Aside from the obvious fact that engaging in voluntary exchange of drugs for money is not an injustice deserving of death, even when it comes to injustices that are deserving of death, for any person to dispense justice to another person while...

Unless you are taking a test run in your new speedboat in the Gulf of America

The way Trump is saying it is wrong, since it's not an either-or like that. But he's still right that we benefit from bringing in more skilled labor from other countries even after taking full advantage of our own population.

And that gets back to my previous question. Is Trump proposing some new federal insuring of 50-year mortgages at taxpayer expense that doesn't already exist?

If that's all he's doing, I don't see what the problem is. Who cares if they merely offer the product?

Isn't that partly because the best college seniors in CS from China, India, and Russia, are studying in the USA? The ones who stay in those countries and go to college there are not their top students. These students from those countries who...
