"Lots of women in WOW, a lot of them play male blood elves so they don't have to deal with people like you."
Or, conversely, because women like genderbending in games for exactly the same reasons that men do (I know, completely crazy!). But with the added benefit/incentive of not dealing with the aforementioned.
You see it as bringing medicine, food, electricity, roads, and telecommunications to these poor bastards scrabbling in the dirt.
They see it as bringing smallpox, gambling, alcohol, drugs, racism, marginalization, despair, and suicide to a culture that was doing fine without your fancy gadgets (and now that they know about them, can't afford them anyway), kthxbai.
Mind you, the original damage of colonization is already done. So may as well give them cheap light to educate themselves by at night.
The Republican party's published, long-term strategies are to make the population utterly apathetic to the political process (thus the filibustering of everything, to ensure that government doesn't function at all), ensuring that only the crazies will vote, and to secure the crazy vote.
I'm pretty sure there's also a plan to increase the number of crazies in the first place. See also: Fox "news".
With the way things are going now, a GDP per capita increase of 7x what it is now won't mean the population will be 7x richer. It means that the insanely wealthy will be 7x richer, while the rest slide into poverty through inflation. And by inflation, I don't mean our wages, I mean everything but. I highly doubt that kind of wealth increase will even happen for that matter - capitalism overall has a tendency towards dramatic corrections to exponential growth.
So this line of reasoning is itself flawed too.
Especially amateur porn. I mean, look at Germany...
Oh, what? Germany is still there? Oh. Damn, there goes that theory.
Well, look at Sweden then...
Er, Switzerland then. Or Italy. Or...
C'mon dammit! Throw me a bone here! Someplace, somewhere must have been smote down by God because of nekkid boobies! Muslims everywhere can't be covering up every possible patch of skin for no reason at all!
New Orleans then. Yeah, that's been smote, right?
Oh, it's *still there*? DAMN! Those sinners are sure tenacious, aren't they?
