A little off the point here but recent studies show that genetics can actually determine your political views. Also it wouldn't hurt for what's left of White America TM to absorb Native culture more, it's called a cultural synthesis.

Also they adopted a 6-year one term system, ensuring each election would have been a lukewarm lameduck session. There's logistical reasons why parties were useful. But the parties are also an impediment, imo, to elected officials representing their constituents. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthesis goes both ways and assimilation is frowned upon within minority groups that want to preserve their culture. I don't know if you realize that what you're saying means that white America would breed out the first people.

This country was built on the backs of immigrant labor. "Unless you're Native Amerikan, we are all immigrants. This country was built on the backs of immigrant labour." FAKE NEWS. 'Native Amerikan' doesn't even make sense. At all. We don't say 'native amerikan' in Kanada. On top of that, Amerika (US) and Kanada (the country not the fabled area from the past) didn't existe until Europeans came and conquered the continent. The progeny of the original settlers are not immigrants. If you are born on this continent you are not an immigrant. How am I an immigrant when I was born and raised here and have never been anywhere. (Not to mention I have Indian ancestry in me lmao). You do realize that almost the Indian nations/tribes/land were build build on blood, war, and conquest right? The biggest, and strongest tribes wiped out the weaker ones just like the Europeans did. All are shameful but the one-sided shaming and revisionist history is laughable. Of course, none of this or your silly pasting changes the fact that when you move away from country a and go to country b you should adapt to your new homeland not the other way around. You likely left it because you saw it a ****hole and wanted a better life. So, why change your new home into your ****ty old home that you fled?

Well we do say it here in Amerika. My intention here is not to go on a PC tirade I'm just stating the fact the U.S. has a long history of immigrants from across the globe coming here and "building up" our country and I think the idea that America has a certain locked in CULTURE that you have to adhere to live here is a bit absurd. In fact, I'm all for opening up the border to Mexico and employing them through the federal government to greatly expand our infrastructure. There is literally tons we could do with them on the national level, and they're more than willing put forth their sweat and blood to effort. The problem here is that boomer Americans can't seem to let go of their love affair with privatization, so they hire all these Mexicans dirt cheap and clog the private sector, which riles up other people.

Yeahhh....I'm guessing you never lived in another country or stayed there to assimilate into their culture. Listens buddy, immigrants go all around the world. It's why China has Jews and why Brazil has Little Tokyo and why the world has Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I don't know what your point is but if you're one of those regretful hyphenated Americans then we're not going to find some common points.

ShadySands Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 They wouldn't need to be ordered to attack as they are guarding supplies.

Volourn Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Well.. if the fed gov't makes a law that states that they can have access to it legally the state would have to give them the supplies, right? So, it would be the state governor breaking the law and said guards would be criminals if they 'defended' the criminal. Not, that I think this should/will happen but the governor is acting like douchebag making him just like Trump who he supposedly hates so why copy him?

Bartimaeus Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Securing shipments your state rightfully and legally paid for in the face of likely illegal seizures (speculation: hasn't been challenged yet, but from what I've heard, the current opinion is that it will eventually reach court and the federal government will be ruled against long after this pandemic is already over) in order to save lives of your citizen is a little different from the national crisis profiteering the administration has been pursuing in my books, but you do you. Edited May 1, 2020 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

LMAO This is, as you already gathered, political theater. If such a law actually existed the first time it was applied the State AG would sue in Federal Court and seek and injunction. There is a 99% chance the injunction is granted. Then the legal wrangling would begin until there is one of three outcomes. The SCOTUS eventually decides it It gets dropped because one side or the other or both change political party control It becomes moot for one reason or another.
