  1. Re:Immigration is simple on Immigrants Crucial To Innovation · · Score: 1

    Every country has strict immigration policies--including the ones in Latin America--but, they are all wrong. As productivity and consolidation progresses and workers are laid off, hundreds of millions of uneducated illiterate paupers are the missing piece of the puzzle in the 21st century Western economy. They are key to GROWTH, INNOVATION, CRIME REDUCTION, PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE, ENDING EXPLOITATION. If they didn't sneak over our borders, we would have to sneak across their borders to bring some back! In fact it's quite a mystery why we don't need to, and a think tank is being set up at great cost in anticipation of illegal migrant scholars who will finally provide us with the answer.

  2. Re:This is why there should be a market for organs on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 1

    Coercion is bad...therefore harvesting should be compulsory? The idea that paying people money is coercion is rooted in some socialist mentality that every citizen should get paid a comfortable living just for breathing--which is fine, but no socialist has ever actually tried to realize such a plan.

    If you were a fat old white guy who couldn't speak English you would likely also face "discrimination". And I think you are overestimating citizens' freedoms. Many states require you to identify yourself to police, at which point they can run your name through their databases and find out more information than any document could hold.

    Come on, he was driving a car with no plates and he had no driver's license on him! No natural-born American would expect to get away with that shit (well, other than Steve Jobs).

    Yeah, I ran across some Scouts raising money to rent a whole theater to watch Madagascar. I guess it's more modest than Girl Scouts selling mass produced cookies to pay for a trip to Disneyworld, but that kind of debauched beggary can't be good for kids.

    What if you ring someone's doorbell causing their house to explode from a gas leak? Since the property owner is also liable for creating a fire hazard, sometimes it's best just to call it an "accident".

    Obviously there is a benefit to the shooters or they wouldn't be doing it. Just like hikers benefit from singing kumbaya around their dangerous campfires. I'll agree that particularly dry weather may make the risk too great for either of these activities, but banning everything that doesn't directly benefit God and Country isn't reasonable

    Obama is not a straight-shooter. Nobody knows what he actually stands for. Don't think Obama masterminded the ATF operation, but that agency absolutely has a prohibitionist mission. There was never a good reason for the US to give a shit if American guns end up in Mexico, especially if that country encourages millions of criminals to violate our territory.

    Your suggestion to amend the Constitution in a nonsensical manner is doubly so since you are not restricting the right to bear matches. Guns kill, matches burn.

    Yeah, from the female perspective male sexuality appears alien, hostile, evil. The reverse is also true, but those ovaries are so valuable what they say tends to have more weight. Actually embedded in that girl-talk are the challenges boys face that no one gives a shit about: girls being cock teases, de-sexualizing and dehumanizing boys, using boys for status, and even the outrageous claim that girls' violence against boys is not detrimental!

    teach your daughters that slutty is what men like, and that their bodies are all wrong, and need silicone, and botox, and collagen, and liposuction and thousands of dollars of other cosmetic surgery to be attractive to men; or from a source that will teach your sons that women are sluts, bitches, and whores to be used as nothing more than a willing hole, and that "real" women have bodies like porn stars.

    All good lessons. Young porn starlets have healthy bodies: teaches your daughters not to let themselves become fat cows, and that they don't have too much time to find a husband before their boobs and faces are completely wrecked. Women are sluts: teaches your sons not to put women on a pedestal, which will make it easier for them to fulfill themselves sexually and to form relationships with real women. You criticize porn entirely from the delusional female perspective.

    Now from a rational male perspective porn can possibly make your sons insecure, and certainly might make them lazy. As in all things, moderation is advisable, but this lesson teaches itself.

    These individuals are members of an organization that has successfully attacked us in the past and that has pledged to attack us in the future. There is no practical way to bring them to legal justice, as they operate as a de facto government in territory that they control. In that sense they nearly are members of a nation-state and the rules of war can be found to apply to them as lieutenants in that de facto government's military structure.
