I wonder what the net would be like if you could do everything we can do now, except leave comments and like things?

No Twitter, no Youtube comment sections, no liking things on Facebook...a brave new world I think.

No Hal... I think the internet is just a pipe. A tube which carries communication. What we haven't learned is that there is a considerate way, a thoughtful way, a way in which we can communicate which doesn't have to criticise others without due consideration of their rights, sensibilities and needs. For example, I have just disagreed with your comments but I haven't flamed you or torn you down.

The Asians in particular outperform whites and out-earn whites by a good margin.

You started your response with an implied imperative negative stating I'm wrong. It reads as combative out of the gate

I understand it's the thought that counts, thanks for trying Richard*
