  1. You said: "I don't understand what point you are trying to make?" (statement) I said: Clearly, but that is not a question, it's a statement. (statement) You said: "Actually a statement followed a question." (statement) I said: It's one sentence. It's a statement, pretending to be a question. (statement) I am sorry, I was being a pedantic a-hole. You are correct, it was an actual question and not rhetorical. No one knows why, except perhaps the author. I was asking for opinions. Fair enough Indeed I disagree. I believe the organizes are largely anti-Semitic, and while the protesters may or may not be, but they are not "designing" anything, they're often just showing up. I think it more than possible, again, I think it likely. I can't speat to the UK, but by and large, people in the US have sympathy for Palestinian civilians being killed, but they generally do not like violent protests and Jewish American kids being barred from attending classes and parts campuses for "safety" because of pro Hamas protestors attending the most prestigious schools in the county on student visas. Why would anyone trust such subjective "data"? Why the qualification? We agree What do they protest? I agree (strictly speaking). Most everything is debatable. I did not use the words left or right. If you believe in equity over equality, you are a leftist. If you are anti meritocracy, you are a leftist. If you believe it is true that all cultures are equal and none is superior, you are a leftist. If you believe the world is divided into oppressors and the oppressed, you are a leftist.
  2. And I can buy a new car....
  3. I think they put you to sleep if you're fat, and just sedate you if you are not. Of course, if you're thin and want to be put to sleep then they will, but it costs extra. I have had it both ways, and I prefer being awake. The procedure itself is not without risk, and the anesthesia brings additional risk.
  4. Yeah, they can get a special bill together to get Trump, but a special bill to fund Ukraine? Nope.
  5. I wonder if winter being over has anything to do with it. I guess Trump was right about that pipeline...
  6. So far, Palestine has killed about three Israeli citizens for each IDF solider killed, while Israel has killed only two Palestinians for each Palestinian combatant killed.
  7. I love the "The majority of illegals come in via legal ports of entry, so the concept of a 2000 mile Wall was stupid." response this got. It's like saying the majority of criminals are not convicted, so the concept of prosecuting them is stupid. The illegals coming through ports of entries are not worried about being apprehended, because they are generally just phony asylum seekers that know once they are apprehend, they will be released into the county and just given a in a court date, and often transportation and a host of benefits. The illegals not coming through ports of entries are worried about being apprehended, because they are generally not just phony asylum seekers, and they know that once apprehend, they will likely not just be released into the county, but that they will often be turned back and or remanded into custody for prosecution for whatever criminal activity they are involved in. The wall is to apprehend the criminals that are afraid of being caught, not the ones going to the port of entry looking for the welcome wagon. What I find interesting, is that the left uses the "ports of entry" argument as justification for not having the wall, but that fact the illegals are coming through the ports of entry only shows that the Administration is letting them in, as if that's a good thing.
  8. So, you're starting with the emojis again. I never said immigration only benefits the rich, that is your "age degraded brain" reading things that aren't there. Now would you please explain how with a labor force participation rate of about 60%, low wages, and rents at or just off of all-time highs, how millions of people that do not share the language and culture, will likely never assimilate, are often illiterate in their native language and will immediately be put on public assistance, given free medical care and education with benefit working class Americans? Again, I've seen your links and I understand how it will benefit the rich and why the left loves it. What I'd like you to explain is how it will benefit poor and working-class Americans. You can't, because it won't, it only hurts them.
  9. It's not, but Israel does not manufacture weapons to use against the Palestinian public, Israel manufactures weapons to use against Hamas/Palestinian militants. That civilians are killed incidentally is just an unfortunate result of war. Do you understand the difference?
  10. Europe's dependance on Russian energy may be an issue.
  11. You pay $2,500 for airfare alone, but $488 for a 90-day visa is a deal-breaker? And so much so that you would not visit your family? I hate price increases as much as the next guy, but that does not make a lot of sense to me. It's like waiting in the car at the national park while you family goes in, because it costs you a dollar and it only costs them a quarter.
  12. President Biden has said he’d shut the US-Mexico border if given the ability. Biden said he'd shut the U.S.-Mexico border. What does that mean? | AP News But apparently since his amnesty bill failed, he's looked at the polls and has decided he can do it without additional legislation. It's almost like he was lying...
  13. Not to mention the sole purpose of the post was to deflect, change the subject, feign indignance and again avoid actually supporting their argument.
  14. Looks like Germany is giving Putin all he needs... Germany accuses Russia of 'information war' after spy leak – DW – 03/03/2024

  16. The left wants the border open, that's why it's open. Most Americans want the border closed, that's why after three years, with the election coming, the left/Biden wants to pretend they want to close border, when most Americans know he's lying. The left tries to ram through Biden’s POC "bipartisan" border bill that will cost more and just exasperate the problems for working Americans, and when it did not pass, because the people that actually care about working Americans did not vote for it, the left blames Trump. No one in the press says anything about H.R.2 , the "Secure the Border Act of 2023" that would close the border and solve many of the problems. It was passed in the House almost a year ago and Chuck Schumer refuses to bring it to the floor. H.R.2 - 118th Congress (2023-2024): Secure the Border Act of 2023 | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
