Immigration is much more controllable in Australia. I know because I'm trying to emigrate there, but the requirements are extremely high. In the U.S. on the other hand, all the corporations are so excited to get cheap Mexican labor, that they are in no hurry to make immigration difficult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-23784627458055817062010-08-18T19:55:59.027-05:002010-08-18T19:55:59.027-05:00Gosh it's not just America.

You should hear the ridiculous propangda going around in Australia about the "boat people" and "stopping the boat people" during the current federal election campaign. <br /><br />An expert estimated that it would take well over 10 years to fill 1 football stadium with illegal immigrants who arrive by boat. It's like 5% of illegal immigrants or something.<br /><br />It's so stupid. Nobody in their right mind would take such a dangerous journey (in which many die) to cross an ocean and start a new life here unless their live back home is absolutely miserable.<br /><br />Let em in I say.<br /><br />(ps maybe noobs are miserable in RL and we should welcome them to the magical world of escapism! er, World of Warcraft)Cassandrihttp://www.hotsdots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-28539015325381967512010-08-18T19:28:02.748-05:002010-08-18T19:28:02.748-05:00@mark: We taught you how to mass-produce tobacco i...@mark: We taught you how to mass-produce tobacco in mildly radioactive fertilizer and then to smoke small amounts of it constantly so as to develop lung cancer, and as we all know, cancer cells are immortal, meaning that we gave you a little piece of immortality. To balance it out we killed a corresponding percentage of the population. I'm assuming you're native, hopefully I didn't completely misread.<br /><br />@Okrane S: New players absolutely do affect the existing ones. Where do you think new raiders come from? Or the other people in LFD? Or old raiders? They were once new and their learning process then influences how they play now.<br /><br />@mark again: The douches in trade might be old players who have nothing left to do. But maybe their audiences are new. Not that I'm disagreeing that new players clearly have some sort of effect.<br /><br />@Tesh: Blizzard could sell eternal quitessence for $25 and somehow manage to sell out every single pixel. Yes, their servers would run out of pixels.<br /><br />Ironically, gated communities require some way for people to get around the gate, or else they die out. In real life there are community boards and housing prices and that sort of thing, but how would they filter players in or out of private servers? I suppose they'd just end up as a series of blips as a guild or group of friends make one and eventually leave before some other group rents it out.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-87089145830074606762010-08-18T11:21:19.985-05:002010-08-18T11:21:19.985-05:00I'm still waiting for the "Vanilla Wow F2...I'm still waiting for the "Vanilla Wow F2P" to happen.

Get out, newcomer!<br /><br />@Anonymous: No national culture is homogeneous, but perhaps the US least of all, which is why I laugh when I see nativists get in an uproar over the destruction of our culture. Still, I think there is some ethereal American culture of things like having some level of appreciation for hamburgers, hot dogs, calling football by the wrong name, and freedom. Sadly, the recent 'controversy' over a Msulin center not at ground zero has shown that there are a whole lot of fake Americans who clearly don't believe in freedom or our Constitution.<br /><br />@Anonymous: You bring up an intersting concept: a partially assimilated group might still look very different from native citizens who more easily see the differences rather than the similarities.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-72693337113635442392010-08-17T16:22:17.488-05:002010-08-17T16:22:17.488-05:00But what about the 2nd and 3rd generations that cr...But what about the 2nd and 3rd generations that create their own form of "sub-assimilation"? If you've ever lived in a large city in a southern US border state you'll know what I'm talking about. They have created their own culture that is a branch away from the the previous two. In fact, I know many mexicans that would rather skip the border states and go northward because the people in the border states are "weird" to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-11565694957927181092010-08-17T08:29:08.768-05:002010-08-17T08:29:08.768-05:00Any reference to US culture makes me chuckle.Any reference to US culture makes me chuckle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-27198296088679635872010-08-17T07:45:19.805-05:002010-08-17T07:45:19.805-05:00Shoulda shut the fuhggin' doors in 1750, after...Shoulda shut the fuhggin' doors in 1750, after me ancestors was all here.
