Thanks for that inane platitude. No discussion about the identity of the United States of America, which happens to share a name with the continent of North America, would be complete without bringing up the displaced aboriginals. As though the bleak fate of the American Indian, who had little to do with the advent of the technological civilization that rose in his place, is somehow supposed to encourage me to usher in the same fate for my own nation. Do leftists ever actually think about any of the boilerplate they repeat?

That doesn't even seem to be an answer to what I said.

Displacing who, from what home specifically?

As a businessman, I understand we've advanced..into the biggest GDP nation on earth, but that doesn't alter the fact that we were NOT the first Americans. It doesn't change the methodology of how we "claimed" this nation. That is neither left or right, just factual.

What if we called it "The United States of Columbia," for example. But the continent was still christened "America." Would we be the first Columbians? The United States of America =! the continent of America. The former is (well, was) a nation-state, while the latter is a piece of geography. People get caught up on the nomenclature to the end of making silly points.

You're dodging your own question (but the robot bit was funny).

Japan has made maintaining ethnic purity a higher priority than dealing with their demographic problem. I didn't say it wasn't up to them, you challenged the notion that it was racist, it is in fact racist. And again, American does not = white.
I am not joking about the robots, they have very promising model only 2 years away and that is the smaller firms.

How is it racist to have immigration that only benfits a nation and not harms it?

That is what leftist do that cant use facts so the use emtion and theats as well at character assassination to shut up people who speak the truth.

Japan's problem:

A smaller population would mean a higher stranded of living...I mean it is not all that bad.

I just pointed out it does not benefit the nation, rather it harms the nation in order to maintain ethnic purity. But that is how they set their priorities.

Why do you ignore what I say and simply restate your questions as if I had never answered them. The question has been answered.

For 99.9% of us, perhaps. What you racists are missing is that a lack of immigration would cut into the earnings of Fortune 500 CEOs, wealthy agribusiness interests, real estate moguls, silicon valley tycoons and other members of the ultra rich. How can you be so heartless?

I don't mind robot window washing too much. It's a very dangerous job, especially when you consider how tall skyscrapers are. However, I have a serious problem with robotic cleaning "staff". It might sound like a great sci-fi movie, but in reality we already have more people than jobs. Why would we want to take even more jobs away from people? Besides, I'd be very unnerved by a robot being in my room. Too many robot movies for me.
