Gee willickers straw man argument 🙄 much? First of all ... arent you the people who claim the sovereignty of nation borders. If you went weapons hot into another nation OF COURSE youd be subject to criticism and rightly so ... The IS would only be positioned as heroes of the day if their assistance...

Ill pay that 👍 as that logic path arguably leads to the same or similar conclusion. However forcing a pregnancy makes a woman nothing more than a vessel or incubator .. I see that as a significant imposition on a womans exercise of her free will. No Hashi .. there IS a clear parallel between gender...

https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/455126-ann-coulter-how-we-became-the-worlds-suckers-on-immigration Looking at our immigration policies compared to the rest of the world, you'd think America lost a bet. The United States is one of only two developed countries in the world (the other is Canada...

Why not look at it as the value of manual labour having increased a bit? --A The problem, though, is that the value of manual labor has not increased. Why should someone, whether citizen or immigrant waiting to become a citizen, be paid $12 per hour for working on a house when a new, possibly illeg...

Also what do you guys think about minimum basic income (MBI) in the near-to-medium-term-future when automation takes over most jobs? From what I've seen, the experiments they've done with is so far have not gone well. They haven't gone badly, but they did not have the outcome that was expected I th...

It wont matter what that number is. I live in the real world where people live. I have seen this in action. Where I work, about 5 or so years ago, they made our companies minimum wage $12. That is the lowest pay and that would be for entry level non skilled. Over the next year because of the outcry...

Maybe the answer is that people making more should be ok with the people making the least getting a bit of an increase, without demanding one for themselves? --A so what it took me 15 years to achieve you should be able to walk in off the street and make the same? So if I spent several thousand dol...

Pretty much what I get here in Florida from May thru October, sometimes even November.

OTOH we don't get sub-zero very often

The President, legally, morally, and ethically has no duty to answer unsubstanciated accusations against him (though the dumbass probably will). His credibility is not in question in regards to these allegations. Hers is. Now if video comes up, then this might change, but otherwise, it's a non-star...

This is why it's a terrible decision to what decades to report a crime committed against them. Memory fades, witness's and evidence disappears, and ultimately, it's becomes nearly impossible to convict in a criminal court. Heck if you ask me what I was doing on june 30, 1983, I would be hard pressed...

Im not convinced government policy or legislation should be made on "feels". As much as I may respect your respective "feels". I agree that line in the sand is hard to define. However. I dont see the logic in does a zygote have human DNA therefore its human being equivalency is ...

Well, I've certainly been around pro-life folks all my life, so I feel "qualified" (for lack of a better term) to chime in here. Yes, a lot of pro-life people believe that life begins at conception (sperm + ova = full 46 chromosome organism). They tend to look at it from the same standpoi...

Cheers Wos .. and I meant ... CASE not CARELESS. Honestly hate autocorrect 🤔 but sometimes it gets it right 🙄 I agree that THAT .. sending asylum seekers to a dangerous part of Mexico is ill considered. Indeed a lot of immigration policy IS ill considered. Hashi that may be so ... but if you were E...

What I love about the Tank is, no matter what you post, someone will reply, "How can you say that we should roast babies on a stick and then feed them to rabid wolverines!" Look Wayfriend, I may be the only Conservative Republican on this site who really doesn't like President Trump. I've...

Please tell me if Trump is credible. Why? If I say you stole my wallet 10 years ago, and you call BS, whose story has to be more credible? But let's say you had a habit of stealing wallets, after 10 years, would I have any proof that you were the one who stole my wallet, or could I even prove that ...

Its hardly about a slippery slope in holding facility construction. The fact that current facilities are demonstrably inadequate .. as the below description asserts.

I see your points and it does have a fishy whiff about it. I totally appreciate the difficulties in reporting incidents of sexual abuse for victims. But not reporting means usually .. not reporting. Did this woman report it to police? To media? Or some other entity? Now just because something smell...

Yeah, mostly agree. Communism, (and now "socialism") has always been the great bug-bear of the US. The chances of them actually having a socialist (let alone communist) government are vanishingly small. Apart from anything else, they're political ideologies that are, largely, fading in pr...
