Im sure this is misconstrued but what's scary is the people that are willing to say YEAH AS LONG AS IT SCREWS WITH THE RIGHT SO BE IT. No. We shouldn't use tribalism to allow us to support things we would despise on the other side. Luckily, this isnt even whats really happening but its scary people would be ok to support it if it was just because it was done against republicans

I work with tourists (My buisness is not understafffed and I'm paid well) and I tell them the simple fact is people were smartened up and are refusing to work for pennies when they could make dimes. In my area the rate of pay has increased 40% across the board. This is exactly why the 9-5 5 day a week work week exist. People will just not show up to make a stand. I imagine min-wage is going to be raised within a year, they can't get away with it anymore and people know it. Appreciate the fast food workers, they give you convenience in life.

Mine did. Problem still stands, tons of $500 sign on bonuses, people are not going to be working under sub 10 an hour conditions anymore, they've smartened up. The rate of pay has to increase otherwise it's going to be bad.

Are people getting better jobs though or just choosing unemployment?

I think people who say that Rock is still being made are REALLY missing the point.

Rock is no longer mainstream at all anymore. Even go back ten years you have acts like Muse, Paramore, the Black Keys that were very famous.

Who are the famous big rock bands now? None? That's the problem.

Even if you could find good music it has little cultural cache which is kind of sad. Its not the songs that will be soundtracking your life anymore at all

It should always be their choice. Anyone trying to decide by law what a woman should do with their bodies are moronic.
The problem isn't what women can do with their own bodies, but what women can do with the baby's bodies. It's ok to believe in abortion but anybody who says its 100% about a woman's body is not arguing in good faith and should be ignored. There is a life at stake, not just a woman's body.

We really need to eliminate any notion that being racist against white people is impossible or ok. Racism is racism, and all racism is bad, no matter what race its against. There is a decent amount of people that actually think its impossible to be racist against white people.

It's interesting too as we get farther and farther away from slavery, and things that our ancestors did gets farther and farther in the distant past. It's like forever calling Germans nazis because of what they did to the Jews. I'm Jewish, and I don't blame Germans for the Holocaust because most of them were not even alive when it happened and had no control over it.

To your point, a lot of people do criticize parents for putting their kids in dangerous positions to get to this country but the intention is to improve the kids' life by getting them here, where they have more opportunity in a safer environment. Can you see that? People are taking these crazy risks to get to this country because they want a better life for them and their kids. Its hard to criticize that intent.

I do see what you're saying, and I do sympathize with that. I don't blame the country for it either, but I get what you're saying about the parents. I guess I think if the parents are not to blame, then it's nobody, because it's just a sad situation. I don't think it's reasonable to not just hope for, but to EXPECT the country to react differently.

But yeah, for the record, this isn't about legal immigrants or birth right citizenship

Dreamers are the kids that were really young when their parents came here illegally. They had no choice in the matter and get punished for being here illegally when they had no option. Then on top of it all they have no connection to their homeland because they spent their whole life in US. So if they get deported they are worse off than just being here illegally.

Ok, so this is what this topic is about mostly. In this scenario it seems like the parents were the ones who really hurt their kids, putting them in a no-win situation. They KNEW the law, they KNEW what would happen if they were caught, and yet when this does happen, then everybody gets mad at the US and NOT at the parents. This makes no sense to me. If you know the laws, and the punishment, why break it and then get mad at them for punishing you just like they said they would?

dreamers were not born in the us, they were brought to the us illegally as children and never obtained permanent residency / citizenship.

alt righters do have a problem with birth right citizenship though, calling them anchor babies, even though that anchor doesnt really work

Well, in that case, this only refers to the dreamers who were brought here. Though that birth right citizenship (which I didn't know about) does seem pretty good of our country. Is that the norm in all countries? I genuinely don't know, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would be. I can get why people would be upset, because it allows non-citizens to force citizenship granting. But if we allow it, all the power to them I suppose. At least in that case they're taking a risk that CAN pay off for their kid. But the Dreamers case they do know the way things are.

Oh, I'm so mad parents want a better life for their children!

Again, that might be true, and it's why I DO sympathize with them to a point, but they are breaking a law to do that. If they get caught and their children actually suffer for it in the end (which seems to be what will happen when their kids need to apply for IDs etc) then that is on them, they knew what they were doing, and what they were choosing for their kids. Why are they not to blame for making that decision? They knowingly put them in that situation.

see folks, plausible deniability. I exposed his whole thinly veiled attempt to conflate us-born citizens of minorities with people literally crossing the border last week (not that the latter are worthy of scorn and hate like he pretends, but that's another thing)

First of all, when in the world did I say anything about scorn and hate? All I said was that what they're doing is unfair to their children who had no say in this, and might bear the consequences one day for their actions. They know exactly what might happen.

Second of all, I'm obviously confused. If you're a citizen if you're born in the US then what is the DACA dreamer thing about?

Is it just people who came as young kids and not people who were born in the country?

Either way, whatever is illegal, the parents who are bringing their kids into that situation I think should be to blame and not the country for enforcing the law

I have no idea what you're talking about. That sentence about immigrants was I don't get why the RIGHT gets so riled up about immigrants (illegal or otherwise, but I meant illegal). It doesn't really make sense to me that they think that's a big deal with all the other issues in our country. Who cares if people are here illegally? They aren't really hurting anybody.

Basically I'm fairly neutral on the issue. I don't think they're not human. I don't think they're any worse than us. However, it's simply a fact that if you come into the country illegally, you might get kicked back out. I don't get why some people are talking like that's the country's fault, or like you should be able to sneak in, have kids, and then they are automatically citizens such that people can just do that all they want to force their kids to get to be US citizens. That sounds like something no country would support.

If they ARE citizens, if they're born here, then I'm confused and need explanation of what the deporting is about, or the idea you can't go to college etc.

I'm not one of those people who thinks all illegal immigrants must be deported, of all things affecting our country, I don't think that one is big. I think if they are here, whatever, let it be. But just as some people feel passionately against illegal immigrants, others feel passionately in favor of them.

After watching movies like In The Heights that tries to put a big spotlight on the tragedy of kids of illegal immigrants not being able to afford college, and seeing the people who were even angry it didn't go far enough in portraying how hard it is for kids of illegal immigrants to become citizens, and all of the debate over the DACA act and the Dreamers....even the word Dreamers seems to be glorifying the children and tugging at heart-strings. I feel like the people are angry at the USA for making it difficult for those children to become citizens or for them not truly being legal.

Why aren't they mad at the parents who put their poor kids into a situation where they aren't truly belonging in any country at all? Since they grew up in America but weren't supposed to be there, knowing that if they ever got caught they could be deported? I know they might be trying to make a better life for them, but at what risk? Obviously there are more people who want to live in America then can be sustained, and there has to be SOME process for green cards etc, as hard as it is, not everybody who wants to live here can. It isn't fair to those trying to do it legally if people sneak in, and it isn't fair to the kids either who might one day be kicked out.

I guess I think that I don't understand why people get so riled up about immigrants, I don't care if illegal immigrants are here and I say all the power to them if they can get away with it - but when I see kids talking about how they grew up American and don't know any other way, I get more angry at the parents for putting both them and the country in that position. I don't get why that's not the common thought that the parents shouldn't do that to their kids

. Whether the you believe that a transitioned woman or a transitioned man is truly a woman or a man has not been fully scientifically accepted by the larger portion of the population or fully scientifically proven. So you're projecting your beliefs onto someone who doesn't share them rather than discussing those beliefs up front so that there are no ill will or hurt feelings when things advance

The problem is that despite this being a complicated matter, with many varying opinions and controversy, people won't accept that this is a question of belief, and are stating firmly that its fact, and if you don't think so, you're a bigot.

No, it's not a violation

You don't get to just magically determine you were violated when you made literally no effort to communicate what you want and what you don't want. Sorry, but that's not how any of this works.

If you don't want to see a dick in bed, then man up and say so

I consider myself on the left, overall, and much more so than right, but I hate the hypocrisy of people on the far left. This is NOT the way the general message is about sexual consent from the left, which talks about making sure that the other partner is comfortable with your advances, not just making as many as you can until they stop you

Just understand that a transwoman and a ciswoman are literally the same thing: woman,

This really bothers me because everybody treats this as a fact, when it's....not. It's an...opinion. It relies on how you interpret gender.

Personally I have no problem treating a trans person as the gender they would like to be treated as. To say that they are literally the same thing.....and just expecting everybody to agree with that....I just cant agree with.

To me, boys and girls...mean nothing so I don't understand transgender. When I grew up we rejected gender roles, and that was the progressive stance. Girls could love sports and cars. Boys could like pink and dolls and dresses, if they wanted. They shouldn't be constrained. To me, boys are males, girls are females, and at that point they don't have to fit into the box society has set for them.

Things like trans and non-binary confuse me because it seems to be saying boys are manly, and girls need to be feminine, and if you don't suit that, you're actually something else. An extremely feminine boy, to me is just that, a feminine male, and it shouldn't matter how they are.

I guess there is some merit in changing that. Perhaps instead we say that if you like cars and sports and stuff you are a boy, no matter what your genitalia, and if you like dolls and dresses, you are a girl. So you choose your role in society and purposely choose by the gender roles. That's....ok I guess. In some ways maybe thats easier for people? Since they don't have to worry about expectations.

But this is your opinion on gender, and not the world we currently live in, and not everybody agrees with that.

So I have no problem treating a trans woman with respect, but in terms of objective arguments, I don't agree that a trans woman is 'literally' a woman, because I dont feel like gender means anything, and to me its just...were you born with a penis? Ok youre a man, no matter how you act or feel, because being a man doesn't mean anything to me besides that you have a penis.
