  1. Hence, the need for a new southern location of an Ellis Island, or two, or three. We need good citizens, but not criminals.
  2. Every challenge along the way With courage I will face I will battle everyday To claim my rightful place! Come with me; the time is right! There's no better team Arm in arm, we'll win the fight! It's always been our dream! Pokeman Theme Song Version XY
  3. the Allen Aeroclub Air Festival ,Argentina on 06 May
  4. Perhaps increasing the prison budget is the goal. https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/faculty_scholarship/2614/
  5. You made me do some homework. Interesting history: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/woke-meaning-origin
  6. Good thoughts, Bill. I agree about internal guilt vs. using it as a weapon. I "think" my approach might be more of immersion. Do something with other cultures, help other cultures help others. Team-building exercises come to mind. Of course, I'm speaking from the early days of race relations and combat football. The best team-building is having your butt rely on every man on the team no matter what culture. But, that is my frame of reference.
  7. I have a whole fucking degree in communications. Do your own research on compliance-gaining strategies.
  8. Let's expand on this. Too many times, guilt is used as a tool in teaching this subject. Guilt does lead to hate in almost every aspect of social interaction. e.g., Moms use guilt as a compliance-gaining strategy and the daughters will get angry and the result is non-compliance and resistance. A much better job of teaching racism could be developed.
  9. “While boasting of our noble deeds we're careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.” ~ Horace Greeley
  10. We need to move past it. There are a number of jobs downstream that are going to be lost because of the boycott.
  11. No court has ruled against one having to fill out an ATF Form 4 to own NFA firearms. Just enact legislation that all weapons need to be an ATF Form 4 event. Tell your congressman - no charge for the consult.
  12. Make real sure that's a comparison you want to make.
  13. None of what you say is incorrect. There are numerous articles on the American Decline and the parallels between the US and the Roman Empire. My issue is - Who can lead us to a confident course correction and is America willing to sacrifice to achieve it. I fear our collapse whilst people have their faces buried in their phones watching TikTok videos. While our country was found on individual rights, we always had a sense of the greater good, not the I/me. I'm also concerned with your arriving and most articles using that year as a benchmark for the beginning of the decline. Coincidence?
  14. So, you'd rather we treat POWs who've killed American soldiers better than illegal immigrants? What in the holy fuck is wrong with you.
  15. Read the whole motherfucking article not just the fucking headline. The third component shit that you didn't read - Less than 75K of the 500K is allocated.
  16. Swing and a miss on both counts. He said, "Fee." Snopes corrects the notion of interest rate, but doesn't say that. ~https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/home-buying-mortgage-fee/273-a107f354-34c9-4f35-8b89-b3e3292291eb
  17. <hangs head> Why not just put on a combat lifesaver course in every school.
  18. That is no shit. We can't get the congress critters to sit down with each other and talk about real-world shit. These days they only know how to slam each other on social media. Fuck what's best for the country.
  19. Thanks for stepping in Doug. Quite frankly, I/we can identify the problem, but I personally don't feel qualified to address it for several reasons, 1) Having neighbors/acquaintances/family be interviewed about one's mental health can range from the, "He's a loon" (that is all noise and no action) to the, "He was such a nice kid," and 2) At what point are "we" becoming the old Soviet Union where neighbors rat out neighbors. I'm kind of resistant to having a "shoot first, ask questions later" type investigating people for mental health and feel like there's a better direction to take - although I don't really have an answer.
  20. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_total_probability#:~:text=In probability theory%2C the law,distinct events%2C hence the name.
  21. I admittedly don't know much about federal school funding. Just know that our property taxes are significantly more than other areas and our local school system is quite "affluent." Enough so, that we have full-time campus police, etc. etc. But, of course, these luxuries come to those that can afford it. My question would be - when it comes to protecting school children; why does that not fall under the welfare clause of the constitution. How is it that we could develop an entire TSA in about 8 minutes due to 3,000 people being killed at the twin towers and all the other peripheral things in the name of public security, but we can't protect children in schools.
  22. I don't remember voting to spend 80 Billion in the Ukraine.
