Anyway, (2) would exclude me and about a dozen of our regulars. Gun ownership by citizens does not exclude anyone. Right, and that's exactly my point. Jari's formulation here is, I think, a good one: "I might for instance have some opinions about a country’s policies or practices, but me visiting that country am reasonably not affected by those policies. I hope when we evaluate meetings for the practical can-meet aspect (with everything that is implied by that), not for the long list of in-principle issues." I do not doubt that it sucks to be a gay or bisexual male living in Singapore. Spending a week there for work should be fine. I'll again agree with Jari's formulation, adding emphasis to the final three cited words: "I think it is of course necessary to consider things that affect the ability to enter, safety (possibly including usual human activities that people do outside meetings anyway, families travelling along)". /a |
