That's impossible....you have obviously just forgotten I also had a Garfield as a young person and you know what a real man I am... You can always tell a real man by the amount of respect he has on forums

I also had Garfield stuffed animals....I use to have lots of teddy bears when I was young Because my mom raised us I actually ended feeling obliged keeping the bears, which were on my bed, much longer than I should have. Every time I said to my mom I wanted to maybe move them off my bed she would say something like " you dont want to grow up too quickly " so I ended up having numerous teddy bears on my bed till I was 12-13

Of course I wont take offense, I appreciate constructive criticism. I believe in always trying to refine my posting etiquette Its just I am a 0 and 1 person, I need examples for a point to resonate so I understand the context but I appreciate the point anyway

If I recall correctly, wasn't Wade Boggs a participant? Bruce, my impression of you is that you're really big on labels and pigeonholing people. More than anyone else on these boards anyway. Well that seems to be the impression I create, despite the fact I really didnt want to offend GD What are other examples of me labeling people off the top of your head?

Yes but its not as simple as just saying " hey guys lets just throw all illegal immigrants out the USA "....I assume you dont need me to raise the obvious social and political challengers that this type of view faces ? And I am talking about Latinos here...I'm not sure who else would consist of millions of illegals ?

I never thought of you as an avid reader ....living out in the wilderness, having no creature comforts like electricity and paying homage to primordial earth spirits Do people generalize about people like you and assume you are what I suppose is a redneck, do they assume you are not informed of current events for example? It must be fun taking them apart with your impressive knowledge of many things I am always either reading a book (or two) or looking for my next one. I have well over 1000 on my shelves here and about 150 or so on my Kindle. All kinds. From Wheel of Time to War to Peace and de Tocqueville's Democracy in America to the one I just mentioned in the Election thread. I even have a few rare collectibles in the mix. I'm an educated man Bruce. I drive a pick up truck, and I live in a house way out in the sticks. I'm adept at firearms and farming that's true but I can also speak in complete sentences most of the time. I'd hope I make the correct impression on people I meet. Yes, did I not say you are very well informed. I hope I didn't offend you ?

Well thats the one thing I think I do understand, you see how criminal activity in the Latino community is almost ignored and bleeds through to impact other Americans right ? My point is people come here illegally, which leads to a ton of other crimes. For some reason you think we should just let them, so I don't understand why you think democratically passed laws don't need to be enforced. "Latino" has nothing to do with it, there are illegal aliens from all over the world. Well let me ask you a more relevant question, what other Western country has engaged in serious endeavors to force immigrants to leave ...what Western country has tried to get millions of immigrants to leave? And lets not bring Australia into this with there appalling policy of sending immigrants to that jungle hell hole island

Yes I agree but once again Mexico is another example of fairly good fiscal policy but they have several real economic challangers that have negatively impacted there potential. They avoided privatization, had issues with tax collection and they do have a real wealth equality gap. There are many people who are not part of any economic transformation...they feel marginalized and would be prime candidates for immigration to the USA Its a little frustrating that the USA becomes the prime immigration destination...because the USA has been doing things right in there economy and you have to question the slowness in implementing certain changes in Mexico but there economy is doing better and its a good US trade partner right ?

Honestly I like most ladies from South America and Central America, its there dark hair and general appearance...like her Like her

Gotcha! He have to invade Mexico. It was on our to-do list anyway. Might as well get on with it! It makes sense also Mexican girls are so hot

I agree with every word. I actually personally knew Spencer. WOD I hope you dont get offended by what I'm going to say but I feel you and I can be honest with each other and you have never offended me when we disagree That article is a well written piece of breitbart propaganda, its intended audience will vary but they want to target people like you. And thats not an insult, who are you in this particular narrative? You not a racist, you dont hate latinos but you are genuinely concerned about the influx of immigrants, the appearance of no effective border controls, the inconsistent way immigration laws are not being enforced and the perceived rise of crime that many Latinos seem to be involved in....you could see this as some type of surreptitious way that the identity of the USA is being undermined? But the reality is much simpler, the USA isn't facing a unique problem here. Throughout the world immigration is a fact and real point of exasperation in many countries. The dynamic is normally a wealthy country will always draw people from neighboring countries where there are less economic opportunities, it about economic upliftment. Why don't you have thousands of Canadians illegally crossing the border to live in the USA...yes its obvious. There economy is stable and provides for its citizens so there is no need to leave And yes certain crimes will increase but this doesnt reflect all the Latinos ....but its real, lets not deny it But you cant stop it by building a wall, its a global social development. The USA will always have people wanting to get into it looking for better prospects. My advice is if Mexico's economy was strong and inclusive enough people wouldnt want to leave

What insight would you agree with Volo on Bartie? If its " violence at rallys is unacceptable " that is what everyone has said, I would find it strange if anyone said " I think violence at rallys is a good thing for the overall health of the US political machinery " Our debate is more about I'm saying Trump is a major contributor to this degree of violence as he created effectively new landscapes at rallys with his comments Slavoj Zizek would probably say that, yes. He is a strange guy, sometimes he makes interesting points but generally I dont like his pseudo-intellectual assessments of social events ...like how PC\SJ is wrong. Also why dont any of his friends be honest and just say " you dont need to sniff and touch your nose the whole video " ..I know it sounds childish but I nearly couldnt watch the video his sniffing was so off putting But he is funny like the story about the son going to visit the sick gran

WOD before I comment on this article what is your view on it?

Why would I be defending Trump? I am probably the most vocally opposed to him on these forums but you need to put things in perspective Its interesting you seem unable to describe what you mean by true freedom I find it hard to believe you have no idea what it means therefore you must be embarrassed about something in the description....there is no judgement here but I encourage you to explain its meaning. I am genuinely interested in what it means

GD, how many of these books do you know or have read http://readernaut.com/Vishal/lists/93/

But why are you assuming Trump is pro-Nazi or even wants real violence....he is a demagogue Volo, he doesnt actually want violence which is why he avoided the Chicago rally And he definitely is not a Nazi, I didnt mean that is the reason you would support him..no. I meant because he is very anti-PC What do you mean by true freedom? Please explain in detail so its clear

I fully support Volo's anti-Nazi platform. Funny...

Yes I assumed you shared sentiments with Trump because you often raise points about SJ and PC comments and how politicians are hypocrites It doesnt matter if you support Trump or not, many people support him. I just don't. Also I dont think I ever mentioned " its okay to commit violence " ? I have only really commented on the reasons this culture of violence exists ...and Trump plays a part Why do people keep saying things like this? Volo often comments on politics and sometimes we agree on things...he has a much deeper sense of global events than people may assume But I'm not sure why his views today seem to be getting such praise ?

I loooooooooove Vikings, it must be one of my favorite series of all time

There are several contributing factors towards the violence, Trump is not the only reason but he is big part of it There have been many examples of protesters opposed to Trump being attacked at his rally's http://time.com/4090437/donald-trump-violence-protests-republican-debate/ http://www.pea****-panache.com/2016/01/trump-supporters-attack-silent-protesters-rally-21169.html http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/03/03/trump-protester-cincy-white-supremacist-attacked-me/81288954/ The list goes on and on. Trump has basically become famous because he "speaks his mind and isn't PC " ...people strangely assume that because the Trump campaign is self funded that must mean Trump " speaks the truth " No, the reason people practice a degree of PC etiquette is not because we pander to minorities who make unreasonable demands or because people are uninformed about the reality of the world its because its a global world where we need to respect different cultures and sometimes its better to be diplomatic if we want economic and political cohesion and harmony So you can think Trumps " anti-PC " is cool and constructive...but its not and this violence is a result of this I can't remember seeing this type of violence at other US elections?

Yeah I agree....the whole law has several major flaws in it, you have just highlighted one But the government is trying to do the right thing considering the social reality of young pregnancies

No I obviously wouldn't select these people....I wouldnt have to. There are many people who share my views both politically and ideology and would be more than happy to contribute towards these types of social developments
