Minnesota assasination thread

[UNCatTech]

Given our proximity to Mexico, Central and south America, it shouldn't be surprising that most people being deported aren't white. People aren't scrambling to leave Canada.

They are criminals. The difference between Ds and Rs is just a difference in opinion on how/when those criminals should be addressed.

You know, by your definition you are a criminal also, unless you are claiming to have never violated any laws of this country.

But you keep up the stringent definition for brown people.

Guess we now know that not only do you hate LBGTQ people, you hate immigrants...

Who don't you hate?.

I don't hate emotion. I'm married, have two kids and express emotion all the time.

Emotion doesn't have a place in all situations. I don't make work decisions based on emotion. I make work decisions based on what is best for my employer and what makes logical, not emotional, sense.

US foreign immigration shouldn't be based on emotion because then you start making decisions that are not best for the country.

Again... it's the whole empathy thing.

Every single thing you post on this board drips with emotions because they sure as hell are not dripping with accuracy or reason.

In fact, your whole spiel about how emotion is bad for decision making is largely emotional and has no basis in any coherent philosophy.

The whole of immigration law since it started has been about keeping non WASPs out.

Well, at least non-white or non-Christian people. This is generally correct and -- other posters take note -- it's widely accepted as true.

You should also note and copy the accuracy of my facts.

You know Zen likes to claim that if you reference skin color then he likes to discount the point.

You do know you’re interacting with Zen Mode?

Yup, I just can't seem to help myself.

It's largely, if not entirely, based on seeing the result of important decisions being made based on emotion and not reason.

I get the point, but hasn't the topic been more or less exhausted at this point? Usually threads derail when they lose their purpose.

Which you can't possibly perceive. Here's your train of thought, quite literally:

1. That decision is bad. It must have been made on emotion.
2. Look at how many bad decisions are made on emotion.
3. Emotion in decision-making is terrible.

This is why nobody respects you. You can't even take the time to adhere to high-school level logic.

I’m not basing it on emotion. It’s always strawmen with you.

My entire view on the matter is what is best for America.
Rounding good people up for no good reason and in turn hurting the economy and violating people’s civil rights is not good for the country.
Taking men who have misdemeanors or no criminal history at all and putting them in situations that are inhumane is not good for the country.
Deporting college students because they peacefully exercised their freedom of speech is not good for America.
Detaining American citizens and holding them for long periods of time because they are brown is not good for America.
Deporting people with valid work visas is not good for America.
Etc etc etc

Fair enough.

Sorry, I didn't notice. It happens that way in my head all the time.

WHOA MAN! Mind blown!



Particularly hearing the Bee Gees singing Stayin' Alive over AC/DC's Back in Black. WHOA!

If I was the Gibb brothers I'd sue the **** out of them.

Gibbs - UK and ACDC - Australia..... Irony remains dead.

Your bet was that he's a lifelong Democrat who was recently converted.

I'm willing to take that bet. Name your terms.

what exactly is your bet, that Boelter turns out to be a Republican? I've already said it's likely.

Still waiting. You run your mouth, now open your wallet. Let's do this.
I accept your bet.

The question is just legality, it's whether or not a person can be deported under specific conditions, like overstaying their visa.

Again, opinions will vary on when we should/shouldn't deport people, but it absolutely within the power of the US to do so.

I guarantee you that you have done things in the last 6 months that the US and/or the State of NC have the power to imprison you for (for at least a couple of days) if penalties are taken to the extreme. That doesn't mean such treatment would be warranted, fair, or defensible.

It's a message board: everybody "runs [their] mouth..." Ok, it appears I was wrong about that point as it was pointed out that his voting record from Oklahoma suggests he was a Republican from way back. Hasn't this topic now been run into the ground? The nut bag was a Republican and I want the death penalty imposed if he's found guilty.

Maybe you should take this moment to reflect on why your instincts in this case were so obviously incorrect? Why your initial responses were so incredibly wide of the mark? Do you think your media diet has anything to do with that? How will you change to do better going forward? Isn't it interesting that when actual money is on the line, you can embrace facts?

Do better.
