re: #252 Sergey Romanov

First of all, this concerns not only people already in the country, but also people who might one day arrive. I.e. immigration policy should have a cultural component. How to implement it without “throwing the baby with the bathwater”? Above my paygrade.

As for domestic policy - case by case. When problems arise, solutions should be found, like e.g. seeing if people are forced by the community (by extreme peer pressure or otherwise) to do something against their will, like coming before quasijudicial organs or wearing certain clothes against their will, and then according measures can be enforced.

Sure, that makes sense. It’s very complicated to enforce, though, and hard to define. We have to do the best we can.

(Witness the FLDS mess. They can live on a gated ranch and dress like Little House on the Prairie if they wish. When there was a question of forced and underage marriages, the cops got involved.)
