Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

I think we should allow everyone in. Make it free. People will be more likely to come in legit, through a border station, than try to sneak in.

Then the people sneaking in, you know they aren't just immigrants. Hammer them fuckers up.

I respectfully disagree. The amount of immigrants we take in should match our labor needs & economic policy. Also we only want the best in terms of quality…well vetted non-criminals with skill sets our country needs in order to thrive and folks that are likely to assimilate into our culture and language.

I know you say with good intent to let everybody in, but even just keeping out the criminals…we simply don’t have the resources & funding to support an unlimited number of poor people with no education or employment skills. I’m empathetic to people wanting a better life, but America wouldn’t be America if we just let everybody in.

So let me get this right, you tell me to give you an example of any type of ban, anywhere, and when I give you two example, without a shred of evidence to support your your point regarding my first one. I just happened to be wrong, and you are right.

Regarding my second example of the adx, you decide to add the condition of “except incarceration” so instead of ANY ban anywhere at anytime, it became any ban anywhere and anytime, EXCEPT any situation that you mention that proves I’m wrong.
Funny…




Your original post that mentions nothing about incarnation, you asked for ANY BAN, ANYWHERE, but you decided to add conditions and move the goalpost later because you knew you were wrong, Lol.

That’s like me saying, tell me why is Biden a bad president? Give me ANY example!
Then later I said, oh except this, that, this and this, and that, and this, oh you can’t mention this!
Yeah, it doesn’t work that way.

You keep trying to defend that banning gun imports would be so difficult and so bad and cause so many problems. You are the ONLY person arguing this. No one else is. We all agree with you.

You are the one that’s doing mental gymnastics, adding in all these conditions and blah blah to WHY banning the import of guns would cause so many problems, when no one is arguing that. We aren’t talking about why banning imports would be horrible and how enforcing it would be horrible.

Once again, I’ll say it as simply as possible:
Banning the imports of guns, is possible, but we aren’t willing to do what it takes, and nor do we want to.

As I said, you win.

In the theoretical conversation we're having, you are 100% correct. We could do it.

We could also stop man made global warming... by killing every human on earth.

I guess my issue is, the theoretical vs. the reality of enforcement... and I just disagree with the underlying premise of this whole conversation, because the alternatives would lead to the mass enslavement of people and societies, and empowering of criminal organizations... as demonstrated throughout history.

But yes... as I said... you are correct, it "could" be done.

But isn’t that how america became, america? By letting everyone in?

North Korea has cracked the migration problem, and they do it in four ways:

Keep the country so poor and repressed that no one wants to come.
Build strong border walls and staff them with armed patrols who have shoot on sight orders for people crossing illegally (which usually means people leaving).
Have an authoritarian society where the people are closely watched and monitored, so any newcomers will be quickly noticed.
Distribute food through rationing and a state distribution system, so that those who manage to evade the other controls will die of starvation.
The DPRK has shown the way. The USA could easily follow this path to stop migration, but if they did so I’d be the first to get shot trying to get out.

On that issue, we need to find someone that lives in North Korea, that is allowed to freely use the internet, to give a substantiated answer.

Stopping migration is easy. Doing it in a way that the citizens of a prosperous and relatively free country will tolerate is the challenge.

Not to mention that North Korea is 80x smaller than the US .................................................. ........................

SIZE DOESNT MATTER! It’s about how you use it!

This doesn’t sound so bad

There was a time we needed bodies to settle the vast expanse of frontier land in addition to a huge demand for unskilled laborers for filling factories created during the Industrial Revolution & beyond. Our economy and situation is way different in the modern & post-modern era (after WW2).

Ok sure, let them all in. But they can only live in Montana, they must never leave the state unless they're going to Canada, and they can never vote.

I hate to be the one to break it to you pal, but size does matter…both length & girth. If you hear otherwise, she is lying to you.

He's Asian.. so he's been told this his entire life.

I just chuckled and then let it go... you should too.
