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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

I kind of thought that this thread was serving as kind of a waiting room as everyone bided their time in anticipation of more assassination information to be released and this other conversation was just what broke-out in the meantime.

Or why he was so fucking confident in his correctness?

This entire board needs to "DO better." On Saturday, this Board immediately (before any facts were known) pounced on the fact that because the lawmakers were Dems that MAGA was responsible. However, as facts started to come out, early indicators suggested the shooter might be a Dem (appointed by Walz; wife worked for Walz; "No Kings" flyers in his car). It now appears this is not the case as even more facts were learned. Yes, I should have been more reserved in my earlier opinion but I'm certainly not going to accept a condescending lecture from you - Mr. All Knowing.

At this point we're standing in a circle and beating a dead horse since no new information has been released. As I said earlier, I don't recall lengthy threads on this Board after left inspired killings.

Those were not early indicators of anything. Don't blame us because you fell for bad propaganda without even lifting a finger to see if it could be true.
