unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487They made the choice to come here illegally so don't whine that when they do so they have to deal with the consequences.0 -
seeking asylum is not illegal. crossing the border between ports is. separating family members is not "the consequences" as laid out in any law. it is the policy of this piece of shit admin to try to scare illegals from coming, and to strong arm congress into giving him funding for his racist wall.unsung said:They made the choice to come here illegally so don't whine that when they do so they have to deal with the consequences.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
Who defended this?Halifax2TheMax said:
Tell that to the woman who was told by the Texas sheriff that she’d be deported if she said anything about his molesting her 4 year old daughter. He’s been indicted and yes, it didn’t happen in the camps but since none of us know really what’s going on with female detainees, how can you say there hasn’t been physical harm? Only because it hasn’t been reported? And by the way, emotional harm is more lasting and devastating than physical harm. I’m disgusted by the lengths some will go to defend this abhorrent policy or Team Trump Treason, in any aspect.mace1229 said:

You keep missing the point that others make when making that comparison.mace1229 said:
No one has said that. Why does everyone insist on misquoting those that disagree with you?dignin said:Don't worry guys, this is like going to a scary movie. The kids will get over it.
Plus, the toddlers can watch the world Cup. Who needs a mom and dad when you have that? How bad could it be?
What I did say is how bad of a comparison this is to Jewish children in concentration camps.
i have a problem separating these kids when they are not united within a few hours.
i also have a problem comparing this to Nazi concentration camps and saying this is just the first step towards Nazi Germany.
Tell the story like it is, talk about how inhumane it is, how scared the kids are. But don’t compare it to the murder of 6 million people and the harsh labor camps of millions more.
You also say that none of these kids are being physically harmed, experts in child development say they are.
You also seem to have more of a problem with people equating this to Nazi's then you do with the actual act of separating children from their parents.
"I don’t like them being separated either.
But it is even more ridiculous to compare it to the haulocost and all the absolutely horrible things that happened."
im not okay with emotional abuse, but there is a difference and I was talking about one and you’re referring to the other.
If there were any I wasn’t one of them.
The only thing I’ve said in the last 24 hours on this topic is that comparing it to Nazi concentration camps is extreme.
If you and everyone else want to compare it to that then fine, it’s just my opinion and Nazi Germany was exponentially worse, and therefore not a justified comparison.0 -
Geez, where does everyone get off by creating their own assumptions from everyone else. Or is it that people can’t just follow a conversation more than 1 reply?benjs said:
I can't comprehend the fucked-up-ness of this conversation, that when you hear the line "my government is abusing human beings", you'd rather pivot the discussion to what kind of abuse, the level of the abuse, and who is being abused. Why, in the year 2018, in a supposedly developed nation, with supposed moral outrage over countries lacking human rights, are we having the discussion over what subset of abuse is legitimate? Why is there any answer other than "no fucking way am I okay with abuse" that is morally permissible?mace1229 said:

Ive said that.
I think I need to summarize.
It was said this compares to Nazi camps because of the fear these kid must be facing. My reply was I don’t think that justifies the comparison, which got flipped into my saying what these kids are going through is nothing worse than a scary movie.
I responded that of course it was, but you can’t compare this to Nazi camps where people were experimented in, tortured, mass executed, starved, worked and beaten to death. Kids never saw their mothers again, husbands never saw their wives and so on. In my opinion you can’t compared a couple weeks of separation witho no real reports of physical abuse to that.
The response was that psychologists say we are doing harm.
My reply was what you responded to, I never denied emotional abuse.
And that now turns into your statement of I’d rather pivot the discussion and so on.
I think it’s important. Comparing it to Nazi Germany is extreme, and when you talk about extremes like that you lose people. And stories get mixed up, people don’t know what’s true or not. I guarantee you there have been people who turn on the news to hear reports compare this to a concentration camp and think “no way” and move one. Honestly when a reported does that I question everything else they are going to say about the situation.
Talk about what’s really happening. Talk about the emotional damage, talk about better ways to handle this. Don’t make these giant leaps and criticize everyone who doesn’t agree 100% with you.0 -

Save your racism against white people for inside your racist home. Americans come in all races and nationalities. There are plenty of people that immigrated to this country legally from our borders that are being protected. Even non criminal people that came here illegally but sought to become legal, that are here now. I'm sure they understand. No one has a problem with people that are living and minding their own business and obeying our laws of this country except for racists like yourself. You show your true colors when you make statements like that.Smellyman said:mace1229 said:I agree. That was pretty much my point.
I don’t like them being separated either.
But it is even more ridiculous to compare it to the haulocost and all the absolutely horrible things that happened.We are comparing the start. Getting people to dehumanize a population, start taking away kids and putting them in camps and pretending it is ok. All for 'safety' and the good of the chosen people, white Americans.It is not preposterous at this point. Comparing it to watching the Blair Witch is Preposterous and displays a cognitive dissonance I cannot fathom.0 -

For the 15th time, I get why trump is doing it but I think it is absolutely horrible. There has to be a better way to stop illegal immigration but I don’t know what the answer is. I do give credit to trump for trying something but again, I don’t agree with this at all.my2hands said:

I think everyone agrees that those business owners should suffer some real consquences for that. jail, I don't think so.
but then be prepared for costs for everyday goods and services to skyrocket and/or jobs to be lost as business will go international for their labour.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0
