And it's exhausting to explain why we have ICE for the umpteenth time, considering the ignorance surrounding the program where people don't understand that this is it for our immigration enforcement. Or, more likely, they don't understand why we need immigration to be enforced in the first place. It might be somewhat less exhausting if you didn't reply to unrelated posts. But since you decided to target me, you do realize that you can enforce immigration law with discretion and without committing gross human rights violations, right? Or that this country functioned just fine before we had ICE? ICE should be disbanded and replaced. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

The better question here is, why do we care more about Antifa attacking the facility than we do about people being held in conditions that you and I wouldn't keep a dog? If dogs were being starved, denied medical attention in a dirty, cold cage, there would be universal outrage.

| Lirishae 07/17/19 12:34:11 PM #56 | Kyuubi4269 posted... Trump is America Prime, any complaint against Trump can be responded to with "I thought this was America." No, Trump is a malignant narcissist. He can't be "America Prime" because a majority of the country doesn't approve of him or agree with his policies. The majority of the country does not want a wall, supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, and wants Medicare for All. There's also the fact that he lost the popular vote and has never broken 50% approval rating. He and his policies are only popular with his base, who do not realize they have abandoned every principle that made them Republicans. $22 trillion dollars in debt? $4 trillion dollar budgets? Threatening war with Iran? Expanding government? War on illegal and legal immigration? A serial adulterer with 22 accusations of sexual assault and rape? The party of fiscal responsibility, limited government, pro-immigration, and family values is dead. But ya'll drunk the Kool-Aid in his cult of personality, so you couldn't care less that you've forsaken every principle you once had. Kyuubi4269 posted... Please respect America's autonomy and move to where you align better. That's pretty hypocritical. Trump didn't like how America was being run, so he ran for president and tried to change it. And now you're telling people who don't like the direction he's taking the country to leave? If people really hated America, they would leave. But they don't. Your argument is the argument of someone who can't rebut people who disagree, so you just tell them to GTFO, like a 12 year old bully. Kyuubi4269 posted... Hatred and religious oppression were the pillars of American identity, America is where it is today from nationalistic greed and dehumanisation of outsiders. Trump is 1920s America. Was that intended to be a defense? Because it's not. Those are things to be ashamed of, not celebrate a return to. Kyuubi4269 posted... The hate is secondary (and not very important). Trump speaks to National interests, nationalism is love of the nation as an entity rather than its governance, he speaks hate to those he poses harm the nation. You may not agree with his conclusion, but the intent is positive. So much wrong here. Honest dissent is patriotic, not harmful. Patriotism is love of your country and the desire to make it better. Nationalism is "my country first, right or wrong, screw everyone else." His intent is to throw red meat to his base so they can watch liberal heads asplode to distract them from the fact that their lives aren't actually getting any better. Don't blah blah stocks and blah blah unemployment me either, unless you own stocks or didn't have a job before Trump took office. And those are extremely shallow metrics for judging the health of the economy. All over the country, people are hurting badly. They're working 2-3 jobs, being crushed by medical and student loan debt, struggling to afford rent. Republicans ignore this pain at their political peril. Kyuubi4269 posted... That's ironic "I want to be ignorant of how people think because I'm scared that ignorance might get me killed". Not what was said. Most people don't want to understand the mind of a pedophile or serial killer, unless they're a writer or psychologist. This poster doesn't want to understand the mindset of a cultist who would willingly drink poisoned Kool-Aid with a smile, because the scene is chilling as hell. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

There's no point in even arguing the point with someone who is going to agree with state-funded ANYTHING that is brought to the table because it makes them emotional. It's very curious how the right only seems to care about spending when it comes to paying for things when it's for the poor or middle class. If it's about forking over taxpayer dollars to feed the military industrial complex, giving tax breaks to the rich, or subsidies to corporations, the right puts it all on a credit card without a second thought. GrimCyclone posted... You're basically telling everyone: look, either agree with me or you're a "bad person". Nevermind the elements of a "good or bad person" are defined uniquely around the world. But oh no! These people right here are the straight up arbiters of truth and justice for all. They just know. They don't even need a god! They learned this s*** from the ivory towers of the public education system and youtube videos! Do you consider yourself a Christian, by any chance? If so, please explain to me how the man who told his followers to sell all their possessions and give the money to the poor would be against government spending to help the poor. Also please explain to me why you have so little faith in your God that you believe following His commandments to help the poor will screw the country over. If not a Christian, please explain to me why turning a blind eye to cold, hungry, traumatized children in detention camps is a legitimate moral choice. No deflection or denial please.

And when it all comes crumbling down and your would-be utopia becomes a dystopian hellhole because life isn't anywhere near the ballpark of being fair or perfect, what will you do? Raise your head to the sky and scream and snarl at the god you dont even believe in? As darkknight posted earlier, these "socialist" countries are actually doing quite well for themselves. You are being sold a bill of goods by the rich and powerful controlling the system, who don't want you to realize that you are being hosed. They are masters of misdirection, teaching you to be afraid of poor brown people who have no voice and no power in this country, so that you won't go after them, the people who really do have the power to take your stuff away. GrimCyclone posted... It's never on you though, is it? Always someone else's responsibility to make your life ideal. Depending on what that consists of at any given time. If you don't realize that people can end up in shitty circumstances through no fault of your own, you are either naive or ignorant. Pick one. GrimCyclone posted... So you know what? Think about it like this. No matter who comes to power, no matter how socialistic this nation becomes, you are going to have to get up every day and live. There's no way around that. No one is going to hold your hand and if you want something, you're going to have to go earn it. At least in your lifetimes, nothing is going to be free. Maybe that's how you live, but most of us have friends and family, and we don't begrudge someone down on their luck getting help when they need it. GrimCyclone posted... So debate all you want. The truth remains the same regardless of what happens in politics. I'd rather DIE than take one penny from a man willing do to something I wasn't. And more than that, I'd gladly die defending his freedom to do so. Have you ever been homeless? Struggled to afford food, or life-saving medication?

He also thinks there was no "malice" when he purposely distributed video of the rape even after he promised the victim to stop doing so. This is why women don't come forward, especially women from past eras when this problem was even worse.

It's a bit more than that. Some white supremacists have co-opted the original flag, so that's why some people object to it. "Still, its origin is steeped in a time period where America was a slavery-driven and openly racist country. The values of that era persist within American culture, with white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan using the Betsy Ross Flag in its propaganda in more recent times. The group passed out mini Betsy Ross Flags in a New York town in 2018 in addition to the typically used Confederate Flag and candy, according to The New York Times. It also used images of the flag in a letter sent to a campus newspaper in Washington in 2017. The flag also caused a stir in Michigan in 2016 after a gaggle of young white men waved the Betsy Ross Flag during a high school football game. The incident led a school district superintendent to issue an apology after some families pointed out their discomfort with the flag and the NCAAP noted the flag's adoption by extremist groups. Some KKK groups in Georgia were found to have required members use the Betsy Ross Flag during ritualistic meetings if not a Confederate Flag, an Albany Herald investigation discovered in 2013." https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/12/flags-and-other-symbols-used-far-right-groups-charlottesville https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/is-the-betsy-ross-flag-racist-meaning-history-and-symbolism-behind-usas-13-star-flag/ar-AADKF5t --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

You're playing up the danger an unarmed person represents to an armed person to justify your stance. If that's really the standard, we live in a country where any application of lethal force can be justified simply because the shooter felt "afraid," no matter how misplaced that fear actually was. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

| Lirishae 06/28/19 4:33:47 PM #38 | aDirtyShisno posted... Depends on the State laws and the specific situation. The article doesnt specify what happened but does state that the mother instigated the fight, and that the shooter was charged initially but those charges were dropped by a grand jury. These series of events suggest that whatever specifically happened suggested that lethal force may have been warranted for adequate self defense. Unless the pregnant woman was armed, it's hard for me to imagine a situation in which lethal force would be justified. I have no proof, but I feel quite certain she shot at her stomach on purpose. But even if the shooter's claim of self-defense holds up, that doesn't make it right for the now-former mother to be charged. If that's the law, the law should be changed. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

Doesn't matter what race, religion, or region you come from. The US is a country of laws and is not a free for all. Coming to the US to seek asylum is 100% legal.

So are you denying that companies like Google, Facebook and apple are working directly with governments to control the information that the citizens see? And you're still defending them as a "private company?" So, let me get this straight. The Republican-controlled executive branch is conspiring with tech companies to...censor conservatives? And if you don't think Google is a private company entitled to make its own decisions, you want the government to do what? Regulate it? Break it up? Take it over? aDirtyShisno posted... In addition, Google and YouTube have specifically been given immunity by Congress as a platform from content on their platform. What this means is that if you commit a crime on their platform they are not responsible. That's not "special immunity." That's just good ol' Section 230. You're regurgitating a bogus argument that tries to claim that moderating their content means they should lose their immunity. But if platform holders lose this immunity, they will either shut down or massively censor everyone to avoid liability. aDirtyShisno posted... Just because two thirds of what I stated is currently underway and the final third will become true in a matter of days does not make my statement less true. Undocumented immigrants are being provided several programs free of charge. Just because not all of them can and/or will take advantage of all of those programs does not make it less true. Here's what you said: aDirtyShisno posted... If someone committed the crime of entering the country illegally they are being rewarded with free healthcare, free tuition, and free drivers licenses, at least in California. They are probably being given even more than that, but thats just off the top of my head. And here's what you proved: "California is planning to give select illegal immigrants the option to enroll in means-tested healthcare." Do you have any proof for your other statements? --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

| Lirishae 06/13/19 11:54:02 PM #95 | aDirtyShisno posted... Also, Im sorry if you fail to have a grasp on English grammar rules, but being given can mean a process that is currently underway. As you would be aware if you read the included links the particular budget with the included provisions has already been passed by both houses and just needs a signature from the governor. It is highly unlikely that it would be vetoed. I stand corrected on Medi-Cal then. But if you think "California is planning to give select illegal immigrants means-tested healthcare" backs up your original assertion, it's probably not my English you should be questioning. The vast majority of illegal immigrants are not getting massive amounts of freebies, as you initially represented. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

That a handful of tech companies have extraordinary power over public discourse is a serious issue, yes. Hyperbole like "we're turning into China" isn't. If you don't understand that there's a huge difference between government censorship and censorship by private corporations, I don't know what else to tell you. The First Amendment protects you from government censoring your speech. It does not protect you from what private companies choose to do. If you don't like what large private companies choose to do, all you can do is regulate them or break them up. But right-wingers usually claim to be against both of those things.

And it's not means-tested welfare, which is what I was talking about. Medi-Cal is California's universal health care program, and the proposal you linked to would allow select people to access it regardless of their immigration status. So I'll amend what I said to, "Select illegal immigrants will get free healthcare in California along with everyone else, but don't get means-tested welfare like Medicaid." OhhhJa posted... I'm so shocked that the technocracy is coming up with more excuses to shut people down. We're rapidly becoming China and the left is rejoicing.

It's not that it should be "legal" it's that drug abuse should be treated as a health issue and not a criminal one. This. Selling should still be illegal, but using shouldn't. Locking up addicts who need treatment does not make the world safer. It doesn't help addicts, it doesn't help the community--all it does is destroy lives, break up families, and waste finite money and manpower that could be better spent elsewhere. --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |

If someone committed the crime of entering the country illegally they are being rewarded with free healthcare, free tuition, and free drivers licenses, at least in California. They are probably being given even more than that, but thats just off the top of my head. That is BS. Not even legal immigrants get free anything, much less illegal immigrants. Go look up the requirements for Medicaid, or pretty much any other means-tested welfare. You have to be a US citizen, or you have to pay into the system for years (at which point you've lived here long enough to become a citizen, making the whole thing moot). --- "Little scratches on people's hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't know that." -Li'l Cactus 3DS FC: 0619-3174-3155 |
