> ethnically cleanse

? Who's talking about ethnic cleansing? We're talking about violence cause as a consequence of the USA's drug policy + CIA interference.

The levels of misconception in this thread are remarkable

Just walk south. Don't walk north. Walk south. It's that simple.

Mexico is a civilized democracy with public safety problems, you people talking as if it was North Korea...

> They were seeking asylum and political refuge

Asylum and political refuge? Cause you're poor and from a violent place? Might as well bring in the whole of south America then...

> Any other dialog is pure rhetoric and Trump based fear mongering.

I don't have a horse in this race. I'm a south-American immigrant myself. I didn't vote nor care for y'alls Orange Leader. I just feel personal responsibility shouldn't be downplayed.

Ok, you took a gamble, to illegally go into a place that ostensively doesn't want you. The gamble didn't pay off, tough luck.

What the USA is doing is inhumane (news at 11) but I have very little sympathy for people who put their children at risk like that.

I'd turn into a criminal before putting my children at risk like that. Maybe this makes me a worse person. It certainly makes me a person whose children are not in involuntary semi-permanent detention.

I didn't say it was. I'm saying migrating illegally to the USA is a terrible choice. Hell, legally migrating is already a questionable choice. There are better places to fight for your life.

What responsibility is bore by the parents who willingly took them into a country where they know they would have a high likelihood of being mistreated?

That's a bit of a strawman. The cultural tradeoffs between "inspectable" JSON and "bloated" SOAP have to do with their most common consumption environment.

In my current life I work mostly with JSON and a typical workflow involves checking API documentations, querying the endpoints, and understanding the structure. I need to own the mapping between JSON and domain objects.

In a previous life I worked with .NET and C#, mostly SOAP APIs. A typical workflow involves right-clicking somewhere, pasting the link to the SOAP endpoint's WSDL file, and automagically getting a collection of strongly typed classes that I can manipulate directly and operate on as if they were domain objects.

The idea that when using SOAP one spends any time (manually) parsing and trying to make sense of XML is a misconception.

To put it in a modern parlance, one shouldn't compare SOAP to JSON. SOAP is JSON + Swagger, with the Swagger integration costing 0.

The fallacy in this case is a strawman. They are saying that if singular they is acceptable in certain situations (e.g. this very sentence), it then becomes acceptable in any situation (e.g. "Their name is Charles.")

The reality is that singular-they in these new variations is not a linguistic phenomenon, it is instead a political shibboleth.

No, it hasn't, not in a subjetive syntactical position, that's a fallacy.

Because the core of libertarianism is individuality in opposition to collectivism.

> Does that mean she's somehow aware of capitalism, mass production, or American culture?

Yes.

You seem to disconnect in your thought the very fact that these production models are American culture. The indigenous operation of markets before imperialism would basically use different production models and produce different goods.

The very thing you're describing is a consequence of American cultural hegemony.

Edit: Of course culture never occurs in a vacuum and transculturation goes both ways. Also I'm not denying advantages or affirming disadvantages of the current state of transculturation between cultures. I'm simply pointing out that we (US-influenced western etc etc) are so deeply into it that we don't even perceive it as "ours" and simply perceive it as "the way things are"

This actually sounds delicious, I'll get some oysters next Friday by the street market, thanks

> just a mass-market t-shirt

The very idea of a "market" which is a "mass-market" and a "t-shirt" as a clothing item, which then become together a "mass-market t-shirt" (meaning globalised production chains, exploitative corporate governance, fast fashion, conspicuous consumption, etc) is already in itself an example of permeating "American culture".
