    If anybody has a fence at their house you'll need to take it down because you are acting just like the KKK did in 1924...

    Stop it.

    The wall as a platform is dumb but some things that people equate it to are even worse...
    That makes no sense dude.
    I think it's silly to equate the Trump wall to the KKK wall but then I forget who is President.

    Sorry, ,my bad...

    Tempo, you just got duded....
    Dude, I did.

    I think Trump's analogy is stupid and irrelevant and AOC's response is pretty close to the same level, but from the opposite spectrum.  
    She has impressed me with her energy but not with her substance thus far.  But I'm a 46 year old white guy so there's that.

    Scary times we live in. This was going on in my own town several months ago. If we all only had fences.

    building a wall to keep out the scary brown man is not the same as having a fence to keep your neighbor's dog from shitting on your lawn.

    most people should be able to see the difference here
    No your neighbor should respect your property and understand boundaries.  It is against the law for a persons dog to go and deficate on your property.

    See how you could link the two together?

    so in your scenario, the scary brown man = dog ?

    No, I don't see how you could like the two together.

    this is what structural racism looks like
    Scary brown man.  That's funny.

    It's an analogy.  You don't have to agree or pretend it doesn't make sense, that's fine.

    The dog is a dog shitting on your lawn.  If a person was doing it I'm sure there are bigger problems where you live...

    I'm using a fence as an example as how we do need boundaries.  Do we need a wall?  Not sure.

    I do know we need to put more money towards processing people into the country.  I'm for processing all of them legally with stipulations.  


    tRUmp's fence analogy didn't resonate with me. 

    I've seen this argument that everyone aspires to have a big beautiful house, with a fenced in lawn, in a gated community. 

    Places like that freak me out  - not everyone aspires to that.  I've lived in cities with shared walls most of my life.

    Off topic a little but I find this interesting.

    When I moved back to California years ago from NY everyone had a 6-8' high wall and a garage door opener.  I was staying w a relative at the time and I asked him if he knew the neighbors and he said only 1.

    I told him I am going to introduce myself.  He begged me not to, lol.

    So, I knocked on everyone's door in that cul de sac and said hello and if they needed something please don't be scared to knock on our door.

    We became friends w everyone in our circle and felt ok to go borrow butter or sugar from the neighbors.

    Also when I was in Iraq they also had higher fences to dwell behind but that was because if I or anyone was to see a females hair without a cover I'd have been shot and so would have the woman...

    GEE,

    No mention of the word "terrorist" in the president's address last night. 

    I
    WONDER
    WHY
    ?


    Fucking liars. There is no "crisis," folks.

    I have a fence, not a wall.  It's wrought iron and 4 foot high.  It's to keep the dog in...that's it.  I'd love not to have one in my backyard, but it's practical.  I only built it for the dog when he was young.

    Thanks, but I'm not a veteran.  I went for two reasons:

    2: To say that I went to Iraq because I most likely would never have that opportunity again.

    Walking around wasn't the problem, we didn't do much of that anyways it was when you were at home.  I used to go out on the roof to workout and get some air so I had to be careful when I was up there and to not look over into other peoples yards.

    Even on the roof there was 8' walls but in the fronts and backs there wasn't so if I tried I would be able to look in other peoples yards.

    It was definitely a different experience...

    It's an analogy.  You don't have to agree or pretend it doesn't make sense, that's fine.

    The dog is a dog shitting on your lawn.  If a person was doing it I'm sure there are bigger problems where you live...

    I'm using a fence as an example as how we do need boundaries.  Do we need a wall?  Not sure.

    I do know we need to put more money towards processing people into the country.  I'm for processing all of them legally with stipulations.  


    tRUmp's fence analogy didn't resonate with me. 

    I've seen this argument that everyone aspires to have a big beautiful house, with a fenced in lawn, in a gated community

    Places like that freak me out  - not everyone aspires to that.  I've lived in cities with shared walls most of my life.
    Off topic a little but I find this interesting.

    When I moved back to California years ago from NY everyone had a 6-8' high wall and a garage door opener.  I was staying w a relative at the time and I asked him if he knew the neighbors and he said only 1.

    I told him I am going to introduce myself.  He begged me not to, lol.

    So, I knocked on everyone's door in that cul de sac and said hello and if they needed something please don't be scared to knock on our door.

    We became friends w everyone in our circle and felt ok to go borrow butter or sugar from the neighbors.

    Also when I was in Iraq they also had higher fences to dwell behind but that was because if I or anyone was to see a females hair without a cover I'd have been shot and so would have the woman...
    like, literally you and she would have been shot? or figuratively??
    I and the she would have been killed, yes.  Where we were it was very religious and that is how they handled things like that.  

    holy fuck. I would have fucking bird boxed it the entire time visting that country. 
    This is the first time I've seen this term used as a verb in any kind of legitimate way, lol. I wonder how long it will take for it to hit dictionaries? :lol:

    bird box, to (verb): to obstruct your own vision, via blind fold or other means, so as not to become victim to demons making you kill yourself against your will, mostly in the most implausible circumstances, including, but not limited to, white water rafting, driving a vehicle, and firing a high powered rifle with children in the area.

    The wall as a platform is dumb but some things that people equate it to are even worse...

    building a wall to keep out the scary brown man is not the same as having a fence to keep your neighbor's dog from shitting on your lawn.

    most people should be able to see the difference here
    No your neighbor should respect your property and understand boundaries.  It is against the law for a persons dog to go and deficate on your property.

    See how you could link the two together?

    so in your scenario, the scary brown man = dog ?

    No, I don't see how you could like the two together.

    Walking around wasn't the problem, we didn't do much of that anyways it was when you were at home.  I used to go out on the roof to workout and get some air so I had to be careful when I was up there and to not look over into other peoples yards.

    Even on the roof there was 8' walls but in the fronts and backs there wasn't so if I tried I would be able to look in other peoples yards.

    It was definitely a different experience...

    Wow, I have to brake this shit down?

    You called them scary brown men...I did not.

    No dehumanizing.  You brought up the dog, not me.

    A fence was needed to keep others from getting on to your property...  That's the analogy.  That's it.

    Sometimes people look to hard for something to be there that's not... Jesus.

    /the first time a dog behind a fence was mentioned in the same context as the wall and immigrants

    he compared a wall and a fence only. the dog shitting equating to the "scary brown man" was yours alone.

    I think you missed the point that they both pointed out. You're the one that brought up the dog pooping and used the term "scary brown man."
    He related a border wall to a house fence, and said nothing. Why you wouldn't think he was referring to protecting the house from other people I don't know. You added the part your neighbor's dog and called him out for being derogatory for what you added.

    Usually not if they have a big brown dog behind them, lol

    I don't think it was the best analogy. Fences on houses are meant for decor and keeping things/people in as much as others out. A border wall (with a few exceptions in history) are not meant to keep people in, just others out. But what was 100 times more annoying was taking that analogy and basically saying "o, so you're trying to keep dogs from shitting on your yard. So that means you are comparing immigrants to dogs shitting, you must be racist"
