Elerond Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 So, Trump signed EO that forbids kids to be separated from criminal parents. Which means kids will be detained in adult facilities with criminals. Great work Dems a real success... If they are seeking asylum, they're not criminals. Also are they detaining them in super maxes or something? Maybe Cruz was on to something with expediting the processing via immigration judges. Asylum seekers are not separated. Only the criminals (second time attempt, smuggling, cartels etc.) are being held in incarceration and their kids in separate care. Are a lot of claims they are doing it to asylum seekers. Certainly is believable US law enforcement is lazy enough for that. By my understanding about issue is that Trump/Session with their so callled zero tolerance policy wanted anybody, including asylum seekers (or as some say that asylum seekers were their main target), who do even minor friction in their entry to USA to be incarcerated, which lead to people who entered with their children to be separated from their children because of law(s) about incarceration of children. Now Trump has written excecutive order which says zero tolerance policy will continue but that children can be incarcerated with their parents for indefinitely (although there is bit of a loop hole as excecutive order say that it will not supersede any laws so technically authorities could continue do what they were doing before the excecutive order) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) "Why do Republicans hate children?" Both sides hate children. Republicans torture them when they are alive. Democrats don't even want children to be born hence their pro murder policy. Also, it should be noted btw, that while Dems are currently whining about children being taken from their parents at the border (a horrible thing), the Dems are also the ones who push to have children atken away from their because they have the 'wrong' religion, because the parents allow the kids to play outside, or because they dislike the names they give them. Think about that. Same **** different pile. Edited June 22, 2018 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 "Huh, didn't know Volo was pro-life." Nah. I'm anti life. I'm evil that way but I'm honest about it. Or am I. My 'relationshipo' with abortion is complicated because abortion is complex and anyone who boils it down to pro/anti is missing the big picture. My big peeve is the intellectual dishonesty that we are spammed when it comes to it. But, anyways, that is a different discussion. Back the border mess. Fix it. Next. That goes for Kanada. And, Kanadians right now at eproud that while we also separate kids from parents at the border it doesn't 'happen as much' which makes logical since we have less immigrants (illegal or otherwise) than the US for so many obvious reasons so it seems to be a silly thing to brag about. ' We only separate 100s of kids instead of 1000s. We r0xxors'. Those 100 kids sure love that. I guess. 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Zoraptor Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Turkish election is on tomorrow. Will be interesting to see whether there really is an Incel Revolution or near total control of the media and throwing dissenting reporters in jail works out for Erdogan. I'm not sure how Erdogan would cope with even a 2nd round, his ego is sufficient that anything less than victory on the first round would be a defeat. In other news, the Saudi Coalition in Yemen announces the capture of Hodeida Airport for the 8th consecutive day. Actually no, they seem to have conspicuously not announced it today. Given that there's sudden 'pressure' from the US to accept the UN peace deal- and the mind boggling number of destroyed vehicle videos released by the Houthis- it seems likely that things are... not going well. Maybe charging along a narrow unsecured coastal strip in a procession of MRAPs when your enemy has ATGMs wasn't such a good idea after all, who'd of thunk it. On the positive side, no literally starving the population into submission, for the moment at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A narrow victory would still be a defeat for Erdogan (since it shows that the opposition still has teeth) and his ego (much like Trumps) won't settle for anything less than an absolute landslide.

A narrow victory would still be a defeat for Erdogan (since it shows that the opposition still has teeth) and his ego (much like Trumps) won't settle for anything less than an absolute landslide. No irony, if Muharrim Ince wins it would certainly be a revolution given how entrenched the AKP is. If they go to a 2nd round he has a decent chance too since every candidate who isn't Erdogan seems to hate Erdogan, including the islamists and conservatives who should be his allies. A narrow first round victory would still mean 50% of the vote for Erdogan, and it's all he needs for his program. I'm sure he'd like Putin numbers for bragging rights, but a win is a win.

Blarghagh Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Then why the highest suicide rates are among the rich and not the people this guy listed? I'd be interested in reading a source for that claim, my google fu failed me and gave me only research that said the opposite (paraphrased, number may be slightly off): - If you live among people with higher income than you, suicide rates rise. - If you make less than 36.000$ suicide rates are 50% higher than anything above. - Unemployed people have 78% higher suicide rates than anyone else. But the research I found was dated, released in 2012. Where'd you get this info? As far as I can tell, suicide rates among the "rich" have risen more quickly, but that's only because the suicide rate along the "poor" was already so high (and is therefore has a lower rate of rising only) and the rates for the "rich" haven't even come close to catching up despite their meteoric rise. EDIT: Either way, even if this guy is talking nonsense Reuters claim is much worse. Antidepressants treats symptoms, not causes. They cannot fix anything and more of them are not a solution. It's sticking more bandaids on an infected wound. Edited June 23, 2018 by TrueNeutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 I'm not sure about that, but I do feel (mostly from anecdotal evidence in this case) that a lot of people take drugs that are wrong for them and accept it simply because the doctor told them to take it. Almost everyone I've seen take antidepressants does so as an ongoing thing when most of the time they're better off using them as a stabilizer to help them get back on track. Some people may need it, especially if depression is a form of comorbidity with mental illness, but I think most people diagnosed with depression should not be getting ongoing prescriptions ad infinitum. Ideally I'd want more education on medication use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
