    Another brick in the wall: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-the-law-already-allows-donald-trump-to-build-the-wall/article/2609082?platform=hootsuite "Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate that 1,300 miles of the border, or 66.5 percent, have no fencing at all; 299.8 miles, or 15.3 percent, have vehicle fence; 316.6 miles, or 16.2 percent, have pedestrian fence, and 36.3 miles, or 2 percent, have double-layer fencing. Johnson also said there is no work being done on any additional fencing." Establishment lies notwithstanding, there are only 36.3 miles of secure fencing on the border currently.

    Cultural differences. Edit: I read it's because when they drop something, they don't say "I dropped it" they say "It fell from me"

    Yeah, but under Allende it wouldn't have stayed that way. "As president, Allende adopted a policy of nationalization of industries and collectivisation;" from Wikipedia. It'd be about as successful as Venezuela. Edit: Monroe doctrine actually had to do with opposing European colonialism in America.

    After Pinochet, Chile has become a very successful democracy.

    I'm not sure what you mean by that, you're welcome to change it if you think it's unsuitable, if you can.

    Which claim? That if you don't deal with terrorism it will get worse? What fear mongering are you talking about? How often do we have 50 people killed in one incident? Why do you assume we have to give up freedoms to combat terrorism? May be some of the migrants coming here have to give up something, but it won't be us. As far as domestic, I still consider them illegal combatants, but there may be legal issues with that interpretation, or perhaps we have to treat them as common criminals to avoid possible future abuses of power by the government.

    It's easier for your own toddler, not so easy for other people's. Is your argument that we shouldn't root out extremism and just allow terrorist attacks to happen? What you and Obola don't understand is that terrorism is fundamentally different from regular crime and accidents, it's an act of war, and if you don't take all necessary measures to deal with it, it will only get worse and worse. The country woke up after 9/11, but now it seems a lot of people went back to sleep again.
  10. Wrath of Dagon
    That's right, we can absorb a few terrorist attacks. Kind of hard to do anything about those murderous toddlers though.

    You must be covered with flies all the time then.
  12. Wrath of Dagon
    That's OK, I had worse bullying from a fly I killed the other day. Edit: It's interesting that Pidesco is a mod though.

    3-1 a pretty pathetic mob.
  14. Wrath of Dagon
    Yeah, join the club.

    This is like being trolled by retarded children.

    Trump is for keeping warm, therefore he must belong to the alt-warmth movement, therefore he is in favor of burning puppies.

    This is how you cook statistics: http://nypost.com/2016/12/05/report-buried-trump-related-hate-crimes-against-white-kids/ And this is how you get a "97% consensus" http://reason.com/blog/2016/12/05/the-successful-progressive-conspiracy-to http://blog.dilbert.com/post/154082416051/the-non-expert-problem-and-climate-change-science Edit: Sounds like plenty of fat to cut: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/12/06/pentagon-reportedly-buried-study-exposing-125-billion-in-waste.html Edit2: More from Pielke: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/12/04/roger-pielke-jr-my-unhappy-life-as-a-climate-heretic/

    We don't know what Trump's agenda really is, I'm hoping he's more pragmatic than the idealogues, his past statements would indicate that, but in that case Price wasn't a good choice.

    Criminals make the best neighbors.

    Apparently there's more to the migrant smuggling than meets the eye: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-04/something-strange-taking-place-mediterranean

    The deal we originally made with China for reconciliation was that we would hypocritically support one China policy while doing everything we can to keep Taiwan independent. So Chinese get upset every time we forget the hypocrisy. Of course as Trump pointed out China doesn't ask our permission for their aggression in the South China Sea.
  22. Wrath of Dagon
    Yes, and US accepts 1/5 of all world migrants.
  23. Wrath of Dagon
    Taiwan, not SK. The media had lost all credibility a long time ago, no use crying over spilled milk.

    So you're judging billions of women by the action of one sick woman? I never said all women are better parents than all men, which is all your argument disproves. And I didn't make the claims you say I did, you need to learn about straw man in addition non sequitur.

    There's a lot more to "The Witness" than I originally thought. I'm usually stumped though, my normal mode of playing is to quit for a while, then come back and try to find a puzzle I can solve.
