@joefrancis505 @nunopgpalma Iceland's first parliament, the Althing (Icelandic: Alþingi), was established in Thingvellir in 930AD

@GCSCS_RuG @SherminAmiri That is true, but not the same as a threat to a culture. There have been many waves of immigrants to the UK, there are always worries as you describe, but they always become identifiably british after a couple of generations. Threats to a culture tend to come from the majority.

@EdmundCB @wight_spirit Sunlight. That comes down on us for free, driving the whole earth ecosystem and its economy.

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@GCSCS_RuG @SherminAmiri It would be, but in most of the cases I have seen, their culture is not actually being attacked. Rather, another culture (usually a minority group) is asking for equal status or someone is extrapolating to an imagined one threatening future

@BNHWalker And we could do better than PMQT in parlaiment. However, I suspect their value is in dramatising political conflict (so the public sees their views aired) rather than real debate.

@burkov Better than Audi though... the more expensive the car, the smaller the sizeof paper it is named after ;-)

@Horganism @curiouswavefn All fields use similar kinds of argument against outsiders, sometimes they are right and sometimes not.

@EdmundCB @robinmonotti Nor understands averages or the underlying reasons for the warming - which is global.

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@GCSCS_RuG @SherminAmiri Language is flexible like that, but unfortunately people use phrases like "original inhabitants" to exclude others they do not like (e.g. different religion, immigrants etc.)

@burkov As did Emily Dickinson

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@burkov I always use a spaced em dash

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@lugaricano In a technical and not political context.

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@lugaricano I am just citing your post for the use of the term "theorywashing". Thanks!

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@EdmundCB I have not heard the rhetoric of HE as a competitive market for quite a while now - something I more associate with Thatcher&Blair

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@Soarpoints OK, I am corrected, but it is still a great novel. I suspect many of the others have been voted for without people reading them - worthy novels.

[Bruce Edmonds @BruceEdmonds]

@Faust_III but at what salary? People studying philosophy might not expect high salaries.
