bobknight33 says...

So you support asylum for the "caravan", Syrians, and all other asylum seeking foreigners who are threatened with murder at home?!
That's new.

John Oliver - Immigration Courts

newtboy says...

So, anyone not born in a hospital, deport them. No ss#, deport them.
How do children born here to parents without papers prove it?

Our asylum process is broken. Illegal immigration was in the negatives under Obama, and fewer of them came from Mexico.

What support has Trump offered Mexico to help secure their southern border? They make Herculean efforts considering their resources.

You need to stop getting information from Fox and friends filtered through an angry septuagenarian liar with horrid comprehension skills.

You know who else demanded to constantly see your papers, don't you?

Children have parents-- prove your citizenship-- not hard -- no papers then go back home.

Immigration is not broken. Mexico IS broken = Make Mexico great again .. build the wall.,

Alex Jones is definitely not bragging

newtboy says...

1:40. He says the only true statement in the entire montage.

Terrifyingly, this man is 1/3 of where Trump gets his "information", and the other 2/3 often quote him as a reputable source.
The inmates are running the asylum and they've ordered 300000000 straight jackets for the "crazy" people that dare to disagree with their paranoid delusions.

Thanks That was exactly what I thought too. There's not really much I can say about it though, because my own country sends asylum seekers to the Gulags.

I think sometimes we forget with all the politics, war, anger, fear, and hate, that, we are all people, we all love, cry, miss our missing loved ones, no matter where we are from or going. It's really just so very sad. *Quality *Promote

Understanding The Pedophile's Brain

newtboy says...

I'm not so certain being institutionalized in a state run criminal mental asylum is really all that sympathetic.

Shayde said:

I'm not sure we should be sympathetic to convicted pedophiles, even if it is a brain disorder.

There was a scene in Nymphomaniac where the main character forces someone to admit they were a pedophile. When she's telling this to someone else later, her listener says something along the lines of "I hope you made him pay for being a pedophile."

She disagrees. When asked why, she says, "If someone is sexually attracted to children, and knows they're sexually attracted to children, but doesn't act on it because they know it's wrong and keeps it hidden, he deserves a medal."

At the end of the day, the convicted pedophile acted on his sexual desires, and forced themselves on a child. If the crossed-wire theory is true, this is akin to a man being sexually attracted to a woman who isn't interested, but forces himself on her anyway.

The problem of seeing it as a mental illness is that we're in danger of letting slide the fact that this person decided his desires were more important than the health and safety of another person. That's where the crime lies.

Something's Rotten In Iowa-Sanders Won Coin Toss

newtboy says...

You would think she would do better, but she doesn't.
Republicans hate her with a passion, and independents are not liking what they're seeing from her, or what they've seen in the past, and simply don't trust her.
You're right, Bernie people won't be coming out to vote for Trump, but most of them also won't be coming out to vote for Clinton. Only those so terrified of a Trump presidency that they're willing to vote for the lesser of two evils will be doing that, and no one WANTS to vote that way, meaning many will stay home (or write in Sanders).
Yes. We're totally fucked. The insane have taken control of the asylum. I hope we can wrestle it back, the time is now, and the future is dark and uncertain.

Jinx said:

Wow. I'm no huge fan of Hilary, but I gotta think she'd do better than tie against Trump. Surely most Bernie voters would come out for Hilary if the alternative was Trump? If she can only go 50/50 with Trump then honestly you don't a coin toss to know America is already fucked.

I hate Sprint! "Total due: $1,716.52" (Blog Entry by MarineGunrock)

CandyApples says...

Sprint has the worst customer service on the planet! I’ve been a customer for almost a decade and every time I encounter some customer-lack-of-service-fucktard I ask myself why I stay… Today I was told that there are no supervisors and then when I raised my voice (whose watching the asylum) I was threatened that they didn’t have to tolerate my abuse. I absolutely hate Sprint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't love or hate the first episode. Found it a bit overly bloody and there was too much weird, unnecessary sex for my taste ... I'm no prude, but come on now I liked the second episode better, so it IS growing on me. The show appears to run well over an hour and my DVR seems to have cut both episodes short so far [I've extended the recording time even more]. I need to see if I can find them online to catch what I missed [hate it when that happens!]

The only season I couldn't watch was Asylum. Maybe I'll give it another try one day. Just couldn't get past the first two or three episodes.

Hey ... Wanted to congratulate you on your pathetic elevator chime hitting number one!!! I absolutely loved that one. I've worked at a hotel and stayed in many over the years, so it's a particular subject matter near and dear to my heart.

Enjoy the rest of whatever time of day/night it is for you iaui

iaui said:

Thanks!

I haven't seen it. Worth watching?

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver - Migrants and Refugees

newtboy says...

OK.
Point 1. I do agree, the inability of many migrants to assimilate to their new homeland, and to expect the new land to change to suit them, is an issue...one not limited to Muslims, but one they certainly share.
Point 2. I would say 'asylum' does not exist if one must wait 5 years to even APPLY for it, and during that time must not work. That's ridiculous, just like saying they're running from asylum to asylum. They are moving to where they believe they might be able to eat, and maybe live outside a small, overcrowded cage. If honest, working refugee camps were to be erected in Turkey on the borders, funded by the EU and others, most of the refugees would go no farther...but that hasn't happened...at least not in any working way for the numbers coming.
I won't assume there's much 'insertion' of non-refugee migrants in the masses, they would have to travel across numerous closed borders and through numerous wars just to join the group...I don't think that's happening. Maybe a few that crossed the Mediterranean to Greece, but that's not many if any.
Point 3. Yes, the numbers are overwhelming. That does seem to be a good incentive for the EU and America (and the other Arab nations), and eventually Russia to do more to stabilize Syria, however, and also a good incentive for them to create systems to deal with these people while treating them as people.
Obviously, though, the only permanent solution is to stop them from being forced out of their homeland. No?

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver - Migrants and Refugees

vil says...

3 things, I may have mixed them a bit.

1 - past experience specifically with muslim migrants (some may have been refugees) in Europe - overall not great, mostly they consider our social system and political correctness as signs of weakness. They consider themselves superior, the first generation may be grateful for a better life than back home but the second and third generations feel superior to non-muslims (especially jews and atheists, but also christians) and entitled to benefits while hating the secular state. Will the current and future waves accomodate better? This has nothing to do with our imperative to help those in need, it is a practical problem. Also not racist - although I do admit racism and xenophobia are a major problem in many parts of Europe and trouble me very much in my own country. More so than the Vietnamese or Ukrainians or people from the Balkans "these people" organize in clans and tribes and will try to impose their view of the world on us, who organise in tiny families and on facebook. Albanian thugs are well organised but they dont hold the view that everyone else should be an Albanian thug too.

2 - current wave of migrants and refugees - lets assume we are talking only about real Syrians boarding boats in Turkey trying to reach Greek islands and not people from all over north africa trying to reach Italy or anyone else trying to reach the EU (possibly pretending to be Syrian). So we have this exemplary Syrian family which has run away from a war to Turkey. They are safe there, only they have to either stay for a couple of years in a refugee camp before they can try to find work or they have to survive in a grey economy sort of like Mexicans in the USA. They know that if they dont apply for asylum in Turkey and manage to set foot on EU soil they can ask for asylum there and be treated better than in Turkey. So these boat people are actually not running from war to asylum but rather from one asylum to another. They make sure not to stop in Greece or Croatia or Austria or Hungary but head for Germany or Sweden. Mostly I believe they have no idea of political geography but they have mobile phones and friends who have already made the journey and know how to milk the local system. So for purposes of compassion they are refugees and totally need our help but from a clinically economic (yes, materialistic) point of view they are very much migrants. Migrants we feel obliged to help because they are sort of refugees too.

3 - the mass and speed of the exodus means we are stretched to accomodate them and they will later start to passionately hate us because Europe will not be the heaven they expected it to be.
A few thousand refugees every year are no big deal even for a small EU state. Hundreds of thousands will be very difficult to take care of in the entire union. Inviting more is just irresponsible.

The good news is that the real Syrian refugees who make it to Europe will probably be the more resourceful, better educated part of the current wave of incoming people and will be able to take care of themselves fairly quickly by my estimate. Also they are mostly variants of Shia - the less orthodox branch of muslims. I am worried more about future waves than the current one.

Maybe we have messed up a bit but we need to learn from our mistakes, and even Germany is now guarding its borders. It would be better if we were able to guard the Shengen perimeter.
Then if we wanted to save more refugees we could send trains or planes to pick them up in Turkey or Jemen. You know, set up an EU consulate there so they could directly apply for asylum in the EU country of their picking. But we have to make a conscious decision first - how many people from the desolate and failing parts of the world do we want to save over a given time period so that we dont fail ourselves. Are we failing? Ask the jewish families who used to live in Malmo until recently.

Please explain to me how you know that these people fleeing near certain death in an incredibly destructive and deadly civil war are 'mostly migrants' rather than refugees. I've heard that line before, but never a word to back it up.
