bush_cheney2004 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 ...BC, you can mock Canada's US obsession with some cause, but the world is getting smaller, even big ole Texas. With some cause ? You guys make it a lot easier than that. Texas has been doing "immigration" a lot longer than Canada. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Black Dog Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Oh good another thread derailed by one troll's obsession with Canada. Quote

Pretty quiet compared to a lot of places, but in 1000 it was THE source for Norse... The Tex-Mex border wasn't as busy then.

Michael Hardner Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Millions of Mexican-Americans trump your puny Norse numbers. But you already knew that. Yes I did. You're on two posts (or 2 strikes) now where you're running away from this statement of yours: " Texas has been doing "immigration" a lot longer" Does Texas have a '3 Strikes' law ? I do...

No...but maybe David Suzuki can help them out with immigration. He has so many wonderful ideas. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Freddy Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Not sure why: do you see a lot of other racists around here? Maybe you should look for a different forum. You're the bleeding hart Liberal on a Texas owned forum. Quote

Freddy Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) For someone open to immigration and against racism . Black dog sure isn't very open to differences of opinions and values. And that is perfectly normal, he is allowed to hate someone or something, even if he has absolutely no other reason other then not understanding the other. Why would he bother trying. It's much easier to just hate him. Edited May 29, 2015 by Freddy Quote

You're correct: I'm quite intolerant of poorly-formed opinions and retrograde value sets, especially when coated with a film of pseudo-scientific evo-psych b.s. Quote

It makes you very angry. Like you're expressing now.You hate to have your fundamental base values be completed rendered illogical. It makes you feel stupid. You don't like the idea that everything you have believed all your life may actually be all wrong. Yea I understand. Your allowed to hate me for absolutely no valid reason other then misunderstanding, Edited May 29, 2015 by Freddy Quote

You've rattled off a bunch of empty slogans and just-so stories like "racism is born out of a humans love for his family" as opposed to simple tribal ignorance and fear. Basic white-supremacist stuff, but lacking any real courage of those convictions. Quote

It's actually a form of trolling.I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction. There is that miss placed pride I mentioned a few post ago. You are the one being aggressive towards me, You have basically come out and publicly said you hate me. Pure and simply. I've only replied to your constant attacking. if you have a intelligent questions to ask I'll be happy to answer it. Until you do, you're the one spinning in mud slinging it, looking foolish. Before you popped into this thread and started posting hateful things towards me we were having a regular enjoyable discussion, and it's been rude comments ever since you showed up. I invite you to go back and read to verify my claim. If you want to contact the moderators be my guest, it's very clear you have made me your target. Edited May 29, 2015 by Freddy Quote
Charles Anthony Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 Guys, Enough. Anybody who posts 1 whiff of a personal comment will take a brief vacation. Quote We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society. << Où sont mes amis ? Ils sont ici, ils sont ici... >>
Freddy Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) An asteroid could also come along and destroy all living things on Earth. This too could be awful to think of. Anticipating our future generation's welfare is 'good' to some degree. But I have a feeling that 5 generations down the road might not even be feasible for our Earth! Population growth is exponential. I don't know what the known rate of growth is but know that we couldn't sustain that on Earth by then. [see http://www.prb.org/Publications/Lesson-Plans/HumanPopulation/PopulationGrowth.aspx]With so much we don't know, I'm not going to leave it to chance. I think it's unwise to bare no children at all.There are to many things we still ignore about it. We know nothing of the after death. Children could, potentially be extremely important. And there is no way to find out about it until it's too late. Lack of imagination can be devastating. Edited May 30, 2015 by Freddy Quote

And there is no way to find out about it until it's too late. Lack of imagination can be devastating. To my bold and underlined emphasis above: How do you presume anyone can simply opt 'wisely' to bare[sic] (I hope you mean "bear"!) children? That is, you're presuming something about the majority of the world based on something you seem to think is simple and easy for yourself (?). Quote

Freddy Posted May 30, 2015 Report Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) I agree....it is wonderful now to have somebody else mow the lawn each weekend ! didn't think we still had support for child labour in North America That is, you're presuming something about the majority of the world based on something you seem to think is simple and easy for yourself (?).. If I couldn't have children, it would make me very bitter to know someone chose not too with the ability. Edited May 30, 2015 by Freddy Quote
