@bohm: yes .. free speech means you can use whatever terms you want. But note: nobody was trying to jail anyone for using "racism" for "nationality". However, it is anyone's right to point out it is an attempt to obfuscate.

We can't even see his tax returns.
Why does the left care so much about Trump's tax returns?

Xenophobia involves an irrational fear of people from other countries.
Is that what insistence on following the law is? An irrational fear?
But if only that hot-button word could be brought into the argument, then it could be used to silence the other side, eh?
Perhaps next we will hear: "well we don't have a single word term to mean 'discrimination against criminals', so I guess we are left with 'racism'".

I always wondered about taxes and other civic services but still don't quite understand how people can sign-up for things as an illegal immigrant and not just be caught and deported. Is that what Obama was doing? Something like 2/3rd had done nothing criminal (I guess other than stealing social security numbers and entering the country?)

I believe it is hurtful and demeaning to refer to any human as "illegal". Human dignity matters, even for those who are lawbreakers.
So it is all about feelings? Would it "feel" better to call them "criminal immigrants"? So very tired of the word games on the left.

So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?
by Simon init seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.
i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?
... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

Simon,
This was a good thread. I didn't catch it initially (17 pages!), but I have to admit, when I saw the news about the march, I asked the same question: "What in the world are they marching about!?" I asked my wife what she thought. She said, "I don't know - women's rights?" I asked, "What rights are women lacking?". She just nodded and laughed.

Comparing WT Library - 2011 vs. 2012
by MeanMrMustard ina couple of years ago, i participated in a thread on this site comparing the old nwt (1984) to the new nwt (2013).
i was able to produce a nwt mash up pdf showing the side-by-side differences between the two versions of the nwt.
herethis site claims it will hold the file for download for a long time.

Hola Bobcat,
The Visual C++ with MFC pre-dates VB 6. I think even VB 5. During that time it was Borland C++ competing with Microsoft. I don't even think Borland is around anymore. But during the time, I thought it was better than MFC. Not much in the way of Windows development is outside of .NET these days. But it looks like WT Library is hanging on!
I used to do all sorts of VB.NET development, but now my work is C# and web based. I agree, it is terribly hard to keep up with all the stuff that is out there...

@fastJehu:
Good news and bad news. The goods news is that I downloaded the German version, and it worked! The bad news is... that it didn't work for you. I would need to know a bit more information. I think it is something on your side because it fires up for me on a stand alone installation and starts exporting the German version with no issue.
