Oh we were laughing. At you.


You don't think that I knew exactly what was going to happen when I posted that? I laughed all the way through.

Without a goal? I don’t have goals? Well shite. Tell me more about myself.


It certainly doesn't seem like you have any. You keep going to the well of socio-economic superiority as a crutch. It's really more like a Band-Aid that you continue to use because it's not making you happy. You keep trying over and over but it's just making your ego bigger and it's going to make the fall that much harder.

quote:

Oh sweetheart. It doesn’t take much to be better than you. My dogs shite it better than you.


I'm sorry but that doesn't mean anything. You're just saying that across the internet that you're somehow so much better but I've never actually seen any evidence of that. I see a young man with too much time on his hands and no real Vision or ability to find peace.

quote:

If my father made the money we’d be new money. See, you live life chasing money. I, on the other hand, don’t need to. I get to pursue other interest.


It doesn't seem like you found those interests. You see the evolution of a human, in terms of character building, generally comes from adversity and Rising above it. It's a tried-and-true method of things reaching further and growing. You're living in Paradise, so you say, but you don't seem very happy.

I am no longer chasing money. I am making money and I have hired people to help me make more money. I'm funding a music festival for the second year in a row and hoping to expand on it and be my 4th business.

I'm not saying these things to brag. I am saying it to point out the fact that I've already learned what is going to make me money and what is going to make me happy. I don't live life sweeping up dollars like some sort of hobo. I point these things out because I want you to understand how far out of touch your view of people who have to work is. In some ways you're incredibly handicapped because your view of working makes me realize how afraid of it you are. I think that's sad. You're so afraid that working for a living is going to make you less of a person and take away the only thing you have that you feel makes you happy at all.

The rest of us are okay with life dude. Some of us even learn how to earn for ourselves and start building for a better future.

quote:


You don’t need to hope. I know where peace lies. I spend a lot of time there, Which is why I was so kind to invite you. So you can find the peace you so dearly seek.



Actually as much as we squabble, I would love to go party. If you're serious then I'm down. I honestly think we probably have a fricking blast.

That’s an odd thing to say, considering you’re the one who started the thread and posed the question.

You are making several unsupported implied assumptions with this statement.
quote:

the premise that this is unprecedented and no other caravans have ever came.


If there have been other similar caravans of similar size, it begs the question of why isn’t that point being made by the Progressive media?

Are you suggesting that this is just a normal activity that happens all of the time, AND that it’s nothing to worry about?

- If it is just a normal day in Central America and that massive illegal border crossings are just normal, and fine and dandy - that, in and of itself, is a huge national story.

Left wing groups funded and organized these groups before midterm hoping to get a bad reaction from Republicans

Most people don't give a rats arse about those people.

Come on man. If that was true they could have done it at any point. They wouldn't need a caravan for that. You guys really have to start thinking more. I'm not saying that to be rude. You really, for the rest of us, need to start using your brain.

Honestly, conservative media has been killing it. You guys have no right to say mainstream media and liberals anymore. It's just not basing reality. Your news leans further to the right then does any other news to the left. I keep seeing Fox News trying to paint this as an invasion. To me that seems like the obvious tell into who is really steering this whole thing.

Do you honestly think that many people are going to March all the way up to the border and start throwing rocks at the military? Again, stop using emotion and start using your logic and reasoning

Of course it is, by the dems. Trump is just trying to actually enforce the law and secure our borders.

Depends, if we just let them flagrantly violate law, no rocks. If on the other hand they are stopped at the border, rock on water head rock on.

Translated: The dims are losing.

The leftist started the invasion to say that Trump hasn't fulfilled his campaign promise.
"He failed on border security"

Now the leftist dims are saying "we need strong borders" just like they have (while campaigning) for decades.

This is so dumb. You know that if they're coming up here to seek Asylum then they're not going to start assaulting the military. That's just stupid. You guys are always paranoid and fear-mongering

anyone else on this board asking these questions?


No. Because most of them arent the strict constitutionalists they claim to be.

Just like I called the Democrats out for the SC pick rape accusations, I'll remain vigilant about this caravan. It's too well timed. And its really strange that migrants think they can just walk into country. They know they will be confronted. I seriously doubt they are that stupid.

And the 1st response a rational person would give is to at first warn them prior to leaving Mexico. If by slim chance they make it in the border zone, use tear gas and nonlethal weapons to disperse them.

Use real weapons only if there is violent resistance.

Several political figures outside the U.S. have said the U.S. will be destroyed from the inside out. With each passing year their prognostications appear to being proven right.

There's enough cancer on the inside of America presently. Until that's cured, we don't need to be admitting further sickness into this country until a viable way can be formulated to take care of it.

It is a campaign stunt.

Organised by people on the left, to make Trump look bad (turning poor women and children away) at midterms.

This is such a weird angle to take.
It is absolutely bizarre how popular this talking point is.

The national news and politicians shouldn't talk about it because they're weeks away? When should it be reported? After they get here?

And of course it's being used politically. Whether they get here in 2 weeks or 2 years it's extremely important to vote for people this week committed to fighting illegal alien criminals invading this country.

That line is so bizarre to me.

They won't be here for two weeks! So they don't matter to this election!

If an issue two weeks from now has no bearing and is completely unimportant on who you're electing, then what the hell issues are you concerned about?
