    It's the old "blacks are violent because they're poor and they're poor because they're violent" argument and somehow it's the white man's responsibility to fix it.

    I doubt the dam will fall.

    I have no doubt the Chinese included tons and tons of steel to keep it from breaking.

    Many well constructed man made structures do very well in earthquakes.

    Mississippi is unique in that it was once majority Black.

    Why do Blacks deserve this much land, anyways?

    40 million people.

    that's 12% of the population.

    they get 12% of the land.

    No, they won't. Not even close. And one reason is in the first part of your sentence.

    China isn't famous for its up-to-par building standards or its forward thinking. If you're interested, here's a line describing just a few of the problems with the dam.

    Do they use heavy steel in the concrete?

    If I know the slump of the mix, I can tell you if the concrete will work or not.

    To those who do not know, when we pour commercial concrete, we track many things. We will fill a cone shaped container with concrete and put it under hydraulic pressure when it cures.

    We will remove the cone from the sample and see how much it slumps. For instance a sidewalk takes maybe a 4 inch slump. A good pour for a dam can take a lesser slump. A lousy pour slumps half a foot.

    Doubt it. Even if it did, you underestimate the strength of the Chinese state.

    Agreed.

    I actually agree with Ronstar on this one. If we were going to go this route--total segregation--they would need 12% of the land (I think this would be fair). Technically, I don't think we can go back to this, but what we need to do is assimilate the hell out of the blacks and Hispanics and then hold the line on any further immigration. We have to get them to get their acts together and then bring them into the fold, but not as cowering, guilt-ridden vaginas. The first step is cutting out the corruption so that the system is seen as fair and trustworthy.

    In this hypothetical scenario, agreed.

    No, nationalism works quite well, actually. It takes the best concepts from the left and right and combines them into something worthy of respect.

    They are underrated. When something is important and their pride is on the line, they are quite capable. You guys who underestimate China just don't get it.

    I don't get that remark.

    This is the report we have.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam#Composition_and_dimensions
    Made of concrete and steel, the dam is 2,335 m (7,661 ft) long and the top of the dam is 185 metres (607 ft) above sea level. The project used 27.2 million cubic metres (35.6×106 cu yd) of concrete (mainly for the dam wall), 463,000 tonnes of steel (enough to build 63 Eiffel Towers) and moved about 102.6 million cubic metres (134.2×106 cu yd) of earth.[33] The concrete dam wall is 181 metres (594 ft) high above the rock basis.

    The main key to concrete is reinforcing concrete.

    Poor concrete has no steel.

    And if you use proper steel in sufficient quantity, the pour vastly improves.

    The dam appears to be well reinforced.

    My caveat is I am no dam designer nor engineer.

    But my experience for about 9 years was using reinforced concrete and the projects I worked on included the Oakland Alameda County sports complex. We drove piles that were for the heavy structures steel tubes we filled with steel and concrete. They still stand as we built them. And this survived the Loma Prietta earth quake very well.

    The dam is finished and contains 463,000 tons of steel I believe

    That is an amazing amount of steel.

    I was speaking only of good vs poor concrete pours.

    But a project like a dam has plenty of steel in it.

    Were your sons complaining about the steel used?

    I once worked with iron workers very often on jobs we did.

    Trump has polling at 33 per cent of Hispanic voters, a number that outperforms Mitt Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008. He has stated that he will carry the Hispanic vote, and certainly run very well with the Black vote.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-two-candidates-don-t-like.html#ixzz4D12pOX1P

    Trump loves the Black folks and the Hispanics. Only the Islamists that want to harm us, those folks he can't stomach.

    The population of Indians hasn't reached critical mass yet. Once it does you will get corruption, a high murder rate, rapes, female infanticides, illegal arms trading, drugs, domestic violence, cyber crime, and probably a whole bunch of people with incurable TB--very high TB rate in India, and an Indian-style caste system in the US.

    I wouldn't want too many Indians here.

    The only non-western immigrant group I'm partial toward is the East Asian population, though only as a small minority. That said, I don't want any large-scale immigration.

    Very small gap here, but maybe it's because both sides acknowledge that majority of the greatest people who ever lived were white men.

    Or maybe they just both believe Asians are smarter.

    Lack of work ethic is really not the same as being "lazy." You can be lazy and accomplish so much; or you can have a ton of work ethic and accomplish nothing.

    I like to determine work ethic by the fields of study people tend to gravitate towards…

    Manners are subjective; and also a cultural construct.

    Who commits more violent crimes is really determinant of who is more violent.

    Much of the Asian Indians in the U.S.A are clearly of the upper classes of India.

    Even so, clearly racism didn't impede their success, nor did they need white privilege to get their success.
