Random Politics & Religion #34
Shiva.Nikolce said: » Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Shiva.Nikolce said: » what is your rationale then? trump is bad so I'm against it? why does pleebo care if a bunch of idiots build a stupid wall or not? Of course it's little more than a rallying point for the Trump base so it's not like there needs to be any fleshed out ideas. If you believe that the first part of your own statement is true, then why would you worry or care? If it's poorly designed, unrealistic to fund and won't curb illegal immigration anyways what's the impact on the Pleebo? Won't it just fall apart on it's own? Or blow up in our faces? I'm not getting the how it negatively effects pleebo or why you would care. You said yourself "it's little more than a rallying point for the Trump base" so then how does a wall we can't afford to build or acquire the land for negatively effect the environment it's not on. Oh hey, its nausi with his jokes.
Kris Kobach’s Lucrative Trail of Courtroom Defeats
For years, the candidate for Kansas governor has defended towns that passed anti-immigration ordinances. The towns have lost big — but Kobach has fared considerably better. Pro Publica Its a really wonky article but then again I am a bit of a politics wonk. TLDR: Kobach has never written an anti illegal immigrant law that was not overturned but he made big bucks and ruined several small towns writing and attempting to defend them. Kobach was that idiot that headed up the failed voter fraud commission whose first act was a crime, lol.
Walls are mostly built to keep people in not to keep people out.
The most famous one that was built to keep people out didn't work so well but at least it was never tunneled under. Clue: San Diego has a wall. It also is a major smuggling hub due to tunnels. We have automated listening posts. Somehow tunnels are still being dug. The Israelis, who are probably way more advanced in detecting tunneling than we are, have automated listening posts too and yet tunnels are still being dug there as well. Question, who would have the better tunneling tech, Hamas or Mexican cartels? Who would have better funding? Garuda.Chanti said: » Walls are mostly built to keep people in not to keep people out. Caitsith.Shiroi said: » No I'm just saying someone claiming a wall is the symbol of stopping other cultures from entering the country is a pretty xenophobe and/or racist thing to say. Wanting a wall to stop people from illegally entering the country isn't xenophobia. There's quite a big gap between the two, but that I was replying to what Saevel said.

If they're being forced to build tunnels, doesn't that go against the "just bring a ladder lulz" argument? Either way, forcing the criminals to get innovative seems more effective than having no structural defense at all.

For extra points tell me how many cultures we have in the USA. For the sake of a simpler explanation, I would rephrase that as some cultures are more incompatible with ours than others. There are too many cultures where living a lifestyle that is acceptable in America would be a death sentence elsewhere. Whether you deem such culture to be "inferior" is simply opinion, but our way of life hinges on the notion that we aren't going to allow people who want to destroy our constitutional rights to gain influence or, heaven forbid, become a voting majority. You have to assimilate to survive elsewhere, so why can't that be a basic expectation to become a citizen here? Garuda.Chanti said: » Walls are mostly built to keep people in not to keep people out. Huh .... no. For all the existence of humanity we've built walls to create a safe enclosed space to protect the inhabitants from the wild animals, the elements and other tribes. Later those walls became better and stronger and were used to fend off armies. Using a big *** wall, as ineffective as it would be considering the size, to keep out illegals is perfectly in line with historical purposes of said walls. When I was a kid two blocks in NYC and there was another culture.
Many were commercial rather than ethnic. Nausi said: » Keeping out inferior cultures is in everyone's best interest.

I mean I bet Pleebo is gonna bend himself into a massive pretzel trying to justify how cultures that toss gay people off roofs are just as equal as cultures that don't.

You don't have any rational metric. You think you maintain supremacy simply by being part of your own in-group. You can cut the dumb dog whistle ***. It's not original or interesting. I'd question your superiority over a bowl of *** tuna salad. Offline

Garuda.Chanti said: » Siren.Mosin said: » the gypsy woman thing wasn't intended as a snub, fyi. My wife is a russian gypsy woman, and I'd have her no other way. The before you were born bit was intended to illustrate that majority Spanish speaking areas in the US have been around for a while. (Indeed, the New Mexico state legislature has been operating in both English and Spanish since it was a territory.) Majority Yiddish speaking areas have vanished. If you are suggesting a Yiddish bagel shop...I'm on it ! Offline

I'd question your superiority over a bowl of *** tuna salad. Some cultures celebrate throwing gays off a roof. Our culture doesn’t, and one (or a hundred) guy accused of a “hate crime” isn’t even remotely the same. A more viable comparison would be the lynchings of black people that happened with no legal consequences almost 100 years ago in the south, which is no longer part of our culture, thank god. So your argument is there is pathetic. You’re desperately conflating apples to oranges. Instead of even adressing my core point, that all cultures arent equal, which you’ve chosen to ignore. Then in classic fashion you throw out in a display of leftist tribalism, a charge of covert racism. Culture is not race bud, and the desire to preserve ones culture by excluding others isn’t racist. I don’t much care at all what race any immigrant is -as long as they adopt american values and assimilate to our culture. That standard isn’t racially exclusive (no matter what your whiny leftist babbling suggests). Therefore, my beliefs aren’t rooted in race. So shut the *** up about it. Unless of course you have nothing else to add but the continued masturbatory practice of stroking your racism/victim ***. (Tuna salad? Wtf?)

For extra points tell me how many cultures we have in the USA. There is real racism going om in this country that is celebrated. The New York Times just hired Sarah Jeong, who has specifically annotated her hatred for white people over the last 10 years.
All last night I heard professional journalists defend the idea that she cannot be racist because she herself isn’t white, further perpetuating he idea that only white people can be racist (which is in itself a racist idea). Conservatives have always said the real racists are on the left. This becomes glaringly more obvious day after day. Nausi said: » ...

I am afraid that lynchings are still part of the southern culture but at least they are no longer celebrated today. Lol first we have the joke claim that there arent enough racists to elect a senator now we have moved on to the joke that all the racists are on the left. Fun morning.
