What would you call maintaining a open border and not enforcing the laws currently on the books?

Remember House Majority leader Eric Cantor , nobody talks about it, but his district voted him out because of his pro-illegal immigration position.

yes as a matter of fact, they're all for an amnesty because for some retarded
reason they think pandering to illegals will win them votes from the latino
community and as crazy as it sounds, that's the very same reason the democrats
want to grant an amnesty to illegals

Amnesty is the only sensible solution, you're not gonna round up 20 million people without seriously infringing on citizens' rights.

Because then we can force those people to pay taxes.

Border security definitely needs to change to prevent this cycle from repeating, but amnesty (besides doing nothing) is about the only solution for illegals already here.

Change the current policies and there won't be much need to round up people, but I wouldn't take it off the table.

Their tax contribution wouldn't justify their expenses and drag on wages, deportation is the only solution for illegals and their anchor babies already here.

How are you gonna locate and deport 20,000,000 people without violating citizens' civil liberties?

How are you gonna deport anchor babies? Revoke birthright citizenship? Lol ok.

No developed nation in the world allows anchor baby citizenship, the US shouldn't be the exception to the rule.

Those 20,000,000 are illegals, their "civil liberties" aren't US citizens main concern anymore, we just want them out. They can apply for legal US citizenship back in their homeland.

As has been repeatedly pointed out to you... you don't.

Prevent them from receiving benefits.
Prevent them from getting licenses.
Prevent them from sending money out of the country.
Prevent them from attending our schools.
Prevent them from working.
Send them home immediately if the are arrested for any reason, and their families with them.
Turn them around at the border. Do not feed them or offer aid of any kind.
Require e-verify and seize the businesses of those who hire them.
No Federal payments to "sanctuary" cities and states.

They'll leave.

You don't have to. Deport the parents. Offer the parents the choice of:
Take your kid with you.
Give the kid up for foster care.
Give the kid up for adoption.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I never said the illegals had civil liberties, I'm saying you can't round up 20 million people without violating ACTUAL citizens' civil liberties.


If you think I'm wrong lets hear your plan.

I thought it was always like this. Fortunately, the board has an ignore function so I just go into threads where I know people are going to act a fool and put those who do on ignore. It's actually made the Shroomery a much more pleasant experience for me. Once those elements are removed, even controversial conversations can be productive and enlightening.

I wouldn't go so far as saying the board culture needs to change, there are steps one can take to limit contact with unsavory individuals.




LOL!

I've never even replied to any one of your posts and I got put on ignore.

Sometimes I put people on ignore if they're being obnoxious in a thread I'm following, then take them off when the thread dies.  We're all entitled to express our opinions; doesn't mean anyone should be forced to read those opinions. 

That's just me, though. I mostly just lurk these days anyway. If y'all want to get into maddening debates, that's your prerogative.  My hope for everyone here is that we learn something from each other, and let hate and anger go because life's too short to allow ourselves to get bogged down in that bullshit.

i haven't particularly noticed this, but i generally only keep tabs on some regular threads i post in through my posts list and only read a few new threads a day give or take.

but in the event this sort of issue is occurring or does occur i wouldn't agree with the community being overridden with hate.

Humans are self important creature's blind to the concept that all life has value. The treatment and experiments on animals today is no different then what is described in the holocaust.  We are walking contradictions. I don't mind to see it all burn away.:hellfire:

I too have seen a darkness fall upon the Shroomery.

And it is concerning to say the least.

And disappointing to be honest.

Some users are just so set in their ways, there is no deviation at all.

Asante, dude...I love you man, you're a good egg.

With that said, the shroomery has changed SO much since the last time I was heavily involved on here back in 2003-2011.  Back then it was really lovey dovey which was wonderful, so many positive vibes everywhere.  I miss people like Coaster and thedudenj, I know Coaster was kinda crazy but he was a good dude, anyway shit is rather negative nowadays.

Seems like so many hipsters are here and they only care about what is current and "cool", and if you're not current then you're forsaken, outcast, it's really lame.  Sure there are wonderful members still around, don't get me wrong, and the shroomery is an amazing place I love very much, but I hope the lames don't gain the upper hand.


reply fail on my end...

So true, Shroomery has changed A LOT since the Coaster days.

At least we still have threads like this around: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22192042

:uhoh:


I don't know guys but..

Theres a hardening in the debate towards illegal immigrants, with great hostility towards them shown and radical solutions only being a word away.

The bashing of African Americans in general hardens and gets more widespread, the miscommunications between the groups keep getting bigger and the frustration and aggression greater.

People get downright BASHED for their political affiliations, right up to common usage of words like "libtards".

I see holocaust denial and actual antisemitic remarks pop up amidst more moderate criticisms of the state of Israel, and also talk of "zionist conspiracies" which are from the underbelly of neonazism.

The utter bashing of religions and anyone in it, most particularly a frighteningly onesided and radical approach towards Islam, with people starting threads like "Everything wrong about Islam".

Homophobic, sexist and transphobic sentiments slipping through the cracks.

This worries me quite a bit, because I love this website and I'm seeing people getting increasingly antagonistic in all directions.

Why so hostile guys? Why so violent?

I expect that the subsequent discussion this OP evokes will get out of hand and turn into a shitstorm, but at least I got to say this much. I'm sure others feel this way too. Let's be our own moderators and actively work at restoring the peace here, not by moderating others but by being the change we want to see.

I'll tack on a poll because polls get a more honest response than posts - most people simply refuse to get shouted at and this skews the direction debate will take.

Let's see what comes of this.

.



This is the fault of the administration and mods.  I repeatedly lobbied you guys to move political threads from the Pub to the Political forum but you wouldn't fucking do it.  The consequences have been a coarsening of the Pub and the virtual evisceration of the Politics forum.  You are reaping what you have sown. 

Who is violent?  Look, we have laws about immigration.  Follow them or fuck off.  How's that shit working out in Europe, anyway?

By the way, you are one of the most extremist posters there is.
