OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Until I see a wall that doesn't work, I'll continue to believe that they do in fact work.

As for the Republicans in the House and Senate, I hate most of them as much as I hate their Dem counterparts. They're nothing but establishment DBs and I'm glad that a lot of them lost in the House. They needed to go.

That's a wall in Jerusalem. And furthermore, the Israelis do have the nuts to shoot these people, whereas no chance we ever would (nor should)

I'm not saying that it's perfect, but it does work. Suicide bombings have drastically dropped since they built the wall. There are certainly better options out there for our situation, but I don't think for a second that it wouldn't stem the tide of immigration.

Personally, I don't think it ever happens. I've never believed that it would happen. However, something needs to be done about the immigration issue.

I am going to type slowly so you can follow along.

A wall will slow down people crossing the border. No one disputes that. What is disputed is how many would illegals would choose not to become illegals were there a wall in place.

You attempted to argue this from a cost benefit. We blew that up. Now you have said it will work and that's that. Reminds me of the people who say man made climate change is real and when you ask why, the response is "science".

We never really finished the cost/benefit argument, and we were going off of bad intel on top of that. I understand that you don't want the wall. I'm not real enamoured by it myself. All that being said, along a long enough timeline, it becomes beneficial to build it. How long would it take? That seems to be where we're having a disagreement.
 
It's completely amazing that someone on this board would call me "a cancer" for condemning anti-Semitism, or anti-Semitic decisions. There is a real, growing problem that is happening over in Europe right now.

He’s calling you a cancer because you keep posting stupid shit. Almost all of the anti semitism that has popped up in the past few years has come from alt-right and right wing populist movements.

So, where is your proof on that? I'm posting proof of my accusations. You're just making accusations.

If you're not aware of the fact that the vast majority of anti-semitism comes from the far right then you are certifiably insane.

So, no proof? I won't deny that some people who voted for Trump were racist. I want a definition on the "far right" and I want proof of how the majority of them are racists. Hell, I could point to the "far left" and Louis Farrakhan. How about we get super specific about our arguments?

I never said anything about trump supporters or a majority of people on the right being racist. Are you actually too stupid to stay on point? Or is this just the way you normally argue?

My arguments are based upon your responses. So, if you have an issue with my response, then you should probably clarify your argument.
 
Putting him on ignore was a wonderful idea. He makes inane arguments devoid of fact, reason, or logic.

I agree. If you can't actually argue your case, and you're forced to insult me... I would also put me on ignore. It's going to save you a whole lot of grief. Just think about it. You won't have to explain yourself anymore. It's a message board warrior's dream come true. Just put me on ignore and save your confidence. It's the smart thing to do!
 
I welcome opinions from anyone. But his trolling and ridiculous arguments were just too annoying for me. He’s just not very intelligent or educated but thinks he is.

So, my arguments aren't intelligent or educated enough to debate? Personally, I love those kinds of arguments. They are a lot of fun, and super easy, to counter. Somehow, I think this issue runs a lot deeper, or these posters are among the thinnest skinned people ever to post on social media.
 
Holy crap! I just sent an MBA and a doctorial candidate into the cry closet in the same thread! How awesome am I? If I were dischevious enough, I would run for the House!

Those types of people are much more tolerable when they are aware of their limitations. But when a stupid person goes around bragging about their own intelligence they tend to wear out their welcome pretty quickly.
 
You realize that I called Farrakhan "far left" and not "liberal", right? People like @uncboy10 and @ticket2ride04 are far left. People like me are liberal. Where do you fall in the equation?
Everywhere... anywhere. I'm not one OR the other ALL the time. It also depends on who else is in the conversation, or the issue at hand.

I don't think tagging those guys will work. They have you on ignore. If you think that those two are "far left", then that's your opinion. I fel sure that uncboy would identify himself as liberal. He hasn't voiced a lot of Farrakhan's views, that I can recall.

It doesn't matter what they/you identify as. Do you think most Democrats would identify themselves as "authoritarian" or as "liberals"? The reason people like this put me on ignore isn't because I'm some ignorant "far right" idiot who doesn't know anything. That would make me easy to counter, and they would be more than happy to beat me into the ground. The issue with those guys is that they know I'm right, and they can't argue otherwise. I'm always more than happy to argue against people like them, or naturalmwa, Joesplace, or mstp...because those people don't understand their own arguments. I live off of that. You can claim your credentials all you want, but if you can't argue your point, then you're a retard.

I crush "educated" people who haven't been taught how to think. That's what I do. That's why I get ignored. Again, if these people were so smart, they could crush my arguments with little dissent, but that doesn't happen. It's like if I ignored Fred on HROT. Why would I do that? The guy is a mental invalid. I would rather keep him around to make me look better. The bottom line is that I've crushed the delusions of grandeur of a few people on this board, just like I've done on every other board. They aren't smart. They might be "educated", but they aren't smart. That's their cross to bear, not mine. They get to live with their shortcomings and disappointments.
