@bhtooefr Of course, in that same utopian world, no one should need to leave their home to have a better life. We should all be able to have a good life wherever we are right now, only moving in we want to (or are forced to due to some kind of natural disaster).

Oh, and a couple more things.

If your problem with immigrants is that they look different from you, fuck entirely off. (A lot of US opposition to immigration boils down to this, of course...)

Cultural conflict is an interesting one, though. Forcing people to abandon their culture is abhorrent.

I do, though, feel that migrants are taking on some responsibility to fit into the local culture? (This could be seen as problematic, but let me explain first.)

Note that in this case, the cultural conflict applies even within internal migration within a nation.

But, cultural compatibility is important.

For starters, if you aren't able to fit in, nobody's going to have a good time. (Note that in multicultural settler nations like the US, there's probably *somewhere* to fit in, though.)

But, also, there's the danger of settler cultures (like white Americans) trampling over other cultures...

@bhtooefr so. played a lot of football in high school, then?

@phooky Nope, none at all, why?

@phooky Oh, I see where you're going... I went to a weird school, let's just say.

@phooky (But yeah, there is the whole problem of people being born into a culture that they don't fit into, which is a whole 'nother issue, and is also a huge problem in the US.)
