yep

nail on the head dev

everyone wants to be on this boat

but the ship can only hold so many

if everyone were spreading out to the midwest it probably wouldnt feel so strained in cities, but no one wants to live in kansas lol

And it can't sustain lunatics constantly trying to poke holes in the floor of the lifeboat.

you arent wrong there, everyone today is so sure their one idea is the one that will save us all

everyone wants to be the person in the history books,

i just dont think anyone's name from this quagmire will be remembered

it will be a period we try to pretend didnt happen

In a less tense era everyone trying to promote their favorite pet ideologies would just be natural political discourse.

Bob, your screen name just made me die laughing

bob rosses asshole is typing thats so funny to me lol

Thank you, I'd just like you to know that my license plate will one day read, "TREES"

nice lol

(first day really trying to join the discussion, some things are still catching me off guard) been a looooooooong time since i joined in on public record

(guess thats also a "please excuse the noob" at the same time)

I'm not a fan of too many migrants making their way into western countries. A lot of people in Cali wanna give them a free pass, especially illegals (I'm mixed on this subject tbh), but it's really insulting to a lot of the immigrants who came here legally and had to work their asses off just to stay here. My parents worked hard to build a life here, I've seen them struggle and grew up with it.

i agree with you bob, i have a lot of friends that did put in the work, and some that did not, and got kicked out.

my best friend from highschool is a canadian who was here till about 05 or so, and the us kicked him out

i kept telling him dude get your paperwork

but he kept comming up with excuses

they tried to work with him, but he just never got his paperwork in and got sent home

i dont blame america for that even a little

Yeah man it's hard. My dad came to AZ from Brazil on student Visa to get a degree. He had to apply for scholarships, his parents could only afford helping him out with rent. Universities are tough on people immigrating here legally but they'll advocate hard for stuff like DACA.

It's a real slap in the face.

one of my current friends is from Brazil as well, i am often worried about his status because he hasnt really said if he is or isnt really legal. he doesnt like to talk about it too much

but like i notice that he never bothers to go get a valid liicense

just drives around with his passport like thats all he needs

My father came to the US on a 747, he followed the law to become a US citizen. I had to get certified copies of his naturalization papers for the Army to inspect when I enlisted

thats interesting Khan, i always wondered how that worked

He gets pissed any time people talk about amenisty

ya i notice that a LOT here from the groups of people that came here and did it right

When I enlisted I was signed up to be a headquarters monkey so they had to do a background check for a clearance.

they have little to 0 tollerance for skipping in line

and i dont blame them

And it's not easy to even get a green card.

well, i think you for your service Khan

thank you even

cant type for shit today
