Hell daca!? What about the fact that to jump the border with a child is Majorly endangering said child, all you libs advocate a law that ENCOURAGES child endangering acts?!?
Pinhead here; I'm puzzled why you feel deals made with the ancestors of the original people proves your argument of the validity to claim of ownership of this land. You honestly picture yourself as the victim here; my observation, not a question.
Because we settled this land, industrialized and built the country that is here today. After which people immigrated legally, The morality of conquest of the past is not relative to today.
Relativity = abdication of moral integrity. The most virulently vocal of your delicate deflectors are the meme of this theme. Firmly standing in a castle built on sand due to the hardships endured by generations of those whose didn't choose to come here.
there you go again veiling your insults in your pretty poems! That was a cute one, really. Your argument that anyone can just pop up on a spot and say its theirs is scary. I'd love to know the outcome if you tried to do that in say...mexico. Maybe canada? How about venezuela?
This post from years ago seems appropriate here: Weak and defenseless in the darkness alone when I was a caveman I picked up a stone from the cave to the moon, from the rock to a gun with rockets and bombs that could blow up the Sun while day after day and year after year I'm still just a caveman living in fear
now you see I've gone Completely out of my mind And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa To the funny farm Where life is beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see those nice young men In their clean white coats And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
Ad hominems, false equivalence, special pleadings, appeals to emotion and strawmen. What is your argument without the fallacy, emotional ambiguity and moral relativity?
What is your defense of continuing in a cycle that has plagued mankind throughout history; Conquer and defend vs uplift and rejoice. Do you tell you children to eat their vegetables so they can grow up big and strong to hold other people down.
Moving goalposts again with more ad hominem. Specifically what cycle are you talking about? Plagued mankind? Our current era is the most comfortable with the longest life expectancy in annals of human history, brought forth by blood, labor and innovation of the West. The age of conquest is long gone, there is a responsibility and obligation to protect what we inherited. Thinking we can "uplift" and "rejoice" humanity together is folly and naive.
I remember that Star trek episode very well Kirk collected all the needed components and made gun powder and made a hand cannon from a shaft of bamboo (maybe)
Why not try some realpolitik here? It's fine If you want to opt out with a meme because you can't debate and have no argument without moot emotional prose and poetry.
I'm afraid that my soul is so vacuous and my life so empty that wordplay is my only refuge; I've got 24 hours every day to waste talking in circles full of confidence that my life's particular hamster wheel is leading somewhere.
