How about any quotas based on geographic location, skin color, religions, language, ethnicity etc etc

Or whether naturalized citizens can become the president ?

ooh, the prsident one is a great question

Yea - I often think about these things as separate issues

I guess we do have separate types of citizenship.

Never heard t discussed as a philosophy topic regarding ‘ special rights for some citizens’

Yes- that’s why I was asking you to clarify - cuz I thought it does exist

Kymlicka has done a lot of early work on it.

He is for strong differentiated citizenship.

So in the Middle East. Some countries have laws where a non-Muslim can not hold the highest office. In some they can’t even hold offices past a certain rank threshold

The icky part is that if you want Native Americans to maintain their status, then you must also admit that the Southern boys with their confederate flag is also a protected culture.

So it does exist all over the world

And the religious police must turn a blind eye to the Saudis princes doing blow on hookers asses.

@Malachi it’s called ‘ prevention of vice and promotion of virtue police’

😂

Sounds like theocracy gone wrong, or very right depending on your level of brainwashing.

It is virtuous for the prince to do so. Don’t you see?

No I don't see.

Yea, no one else does either 😂

I have to walk my dog. If anyone comes up with something let me know.

Ok. I’ll check out the link u sent.

Would wanna know your opinions on this from a philosophical perspective including governance and jurisprudence

I haven’t been introduced to this except for the examples I could think of on my own heh

@Malachi I think in this particular case there is something to be said about whose land was ‘stolen’ (from some perspectives) and if it’s just some retribution.

Sorry I missed this, busy morning.

I don't believe in righting historical wrongs. As those people are not alive today to stand trial.

I don’t believe in it either. I’m describing the reasoning (however flawed) behind it.

We do retributive justice all the time

what is the best way to live life?

By striving to be the version of yourself that is worthy of being here

@Ozymandias maximizing wellbeing

Your own and the ones around you

As if you were a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce. Just cool man. Like Arthur Fonzarelli.

not giving up despite everything

wait are only non-serious answers allowed?

Just do what makes you happy as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone

Like Jesus, the olive.

agreed kcon

realize the meaninglessness of our situation and constantly search for it.

also, striving for happiness is not a valid way of living your life.
