@FringeyFrank@fishstark It was a live debate at the time though? And some places did it earlier and some did it later. And it's better to have done so earlier
@cruelsardaukar Tbh that sounds reasonable. Probably only the top 20% of that is inhabitable and half of that is food and infrastructure. So they get Manhattan density where people actually live and have space for sprawling stuff like the Jedi temple
@FirstClassDuck@headwaysmatter@uckema Yup. The Canadian and British conservative parties seem to have adapted to multiculturalism better than the Republicans. Strange brainstorms in certain sections of the Republican elite that way.
@BorjomiDrinker Catholic churches regularly get Catholics the priests don't know and tend to be much larger in terms of regular attendees. So most priests would not expect to recognise everyone receiving at mass
@graciehartie Singapore has had sub replacement TFR since the 1980s. The population has doubled since then, 40 years ago. Easily half of Singaporeans are either settled foreigners or the kid of at least 1. So being anti-immigration is blatant hypocrisy.
@CatholicPebble Can't disagree. I just went for a friend's wedding and this is how her and her now husband went into their relationship. But it requires a level of spiritual formation and maturity of both that is really not common, even amongst active Catholic youth.
@MetalSpearFish Sinophone diaspora who did poorly in school. So they speak at home, listen to the music, watch the social media, but can't really read a newspaper.
@Sorgum687168@nguyenhdi The holding area can be in Malaysia or Thailand but neither of those countries actually accepts permanent resettlement of refugees as citizens. There is very little middle ground in between benefits for refugees and blanket rejection of even basic services.
