Wow... it's been a while.... other than the spammer below me. Anyway, this popped up on my youtube feed, one of my favorite George Carlin routines. I got a rant in the works... in the meantime:NSFW and NSFC
bullshirt.I didn't bring up the Holocaust... it is in the freaking OP! That is my point of contention in this entire thread, the refusal of the claim that what we are seeing in the U.S. is "80% the Holocaust".I always try to answer a point, not to "whimsically" dismiss anyone. You confuse...
So now I am a nutjob 20-30 year old living in 1930's Nazi Germany, who is excusing abuse? Bravo!Give me a forking break. I never said anyone is the "bad guy", I never said it was ok to abuse anyone, nor am I rationalizing infliction of abuse on anyone. I just stated the obvious fact that...
Why would you want to get taxed twice?
What's the benefit to a wealthy Saudi/Russian/Chinese/Indian/Iranian, besides a more complicated tax return and more likely than not paying taxes to two different countries?Worth noting: the $5M is for resident alien status, not citizenship, without going...
I don't know that many people who have that kind of money elsewhere would want to move to the U.S. I do know people who have that kind of money here in MX; they like visiting, they send their kids to study in the U.S. (like I was), some even have vacation homes in the U.S., but they don't...
I am not nitpicking. Y'all just want to make this comparison, and rationalize the comparison, when there really isn't one. You could compare what's happening in the U.S. now with previous events in Chile, Cuba (Cuban revolution), Venezuela, the U.S. (Japanese concentration camps in the U.S...
I am not missing any point. I am repeating a question that you refuse to answer. But that's par for the course.... kind of like arguing with apologists, "you don't understand, you miss the point"... yeah...
It is a shirtty situation all around... but this is what the majority of The People voted for, and I do think something has to be done to stop the battalions of people marching down to the Southern border, as well as removing from the country people who are breaking U.S. laws, and verbal warnings...
I am focusing on what the Holocaust was: (broken record) the systematic extermination of an entire ethnic group with brutal and ruthless efficiency.Yeah, mass shootings were so inefficient that the einstatzgruppen murdered 2+million people.
And yet again... the OP compared what's happening to the Holocaust ("80% the Holocaust"). That is my point of contention. Nothing that's happening right now even remotely resembles the Holocaust.As I said before, you can compare Nazi Germany with a lot of situations in many places throughout...
There you go again... so, I'll ask you yet again, maybe this time you'll have the decency to answer instead of the petty digs: do you really think we will see in Panama and Guantanamo piles of emanciated dead bodies, mass executions, gassings, crematories, piles of gold...
You can compare a lot of situations throughout history in many different places to early Nazi Germany... however, the OP specifically referenced the Holocaust, and what's happening right now, doesn't compare to the systematic extermination of an entire ethnicity and the efficiency and brutality...
Cute. So, you Do think we'll see the gassings, the crematory ovens (probably solar powered by Tesla), the piles of gold teeth, the piles of shoes, the executions of entire families? All carried out by the U.S. armed forces?
Not all of them, no, and maybe not specifically the army... but the majority were part of the armed forces. So were the death squads operating in Eastern Europe.
Yes, in the form of waterboarding, sleep deprivation, physical/psychological abuse... but waterboarding, sleep depravation, physical/psychological abuse, that's not in the same universe as piles of emaciated dead bodies, mass gassings, mass executions, piles of gold teeth, shoes, glasses...I...
Oh! So do you feel that soon we'll see the gas chambers, the ovens, the piles of bodies, the mass executions, the mass graves... ? Carried out by the U.S. armed forces?
I am not excusing anything, but I do have an issue with the Nazi comparison. When I see piles of emaciated dead bodies, gold teeth, shoes, mothers asked to hold babies to their chest so the executioner uses only one bullet to kill them both... then I'll be the first to make the comparison to Nazis.
Well, in the U.S., it was done to Native Americans, Japanese descendants during WWII, Marielitas; refugees around the world are fenced in camps, living in tents without plumbing or electricity... of course those are known as reservations, interment camps, processing camps, refugee camps...
