But as your question was in relation to the virtual world, I would think original thought, being able to put your ideas into words that others understand with clarity and being able to understand and accept opposing views even if you don't agree with them.
Constant copying and pasting, whether referenced or not, is a sign of not being able to put together an intelligible post of your own.
If any of that new blood is only interested in divisive American politics, please tell them that the International Dating site, CS, is currently closed and to go somewhere else
If everybody got their DNA tested, they'd realise what a mishmash they comprise of. Since the beginning of time, people have travelled, moved, traded with, invaded, colonised or peacefully moved to other areas. That is how ideas, inventions, produce etc came to be shared. I think inward and outward migration is good, but I do also believe that it is important for the newcomer to respect the culture and ways of the host nation. I think it is important to learn the language also as you will never be part of the community unless you do so.
The main problem is that there is nobody discussing it at any level. Leaders are burying their heads in the sand hoping the problem will go away. It won't.
