  isn't a border a virtual wall? Not literal and tangible, but to separate land? Jurisdictions?

  I think most people Trump was trying to tap into with this wall thing are anything but racist against Mexicans. Could it be more logical that a person or family in America that is struggling inside the country to survive, and paying taxes WITHIN THEIR DESIGNATED BORDERS, are also supporting those who are breaking the law to benefit? I am not saying its a correct way of thinking, but it is what people think, and its not racist. The united states imposes taxes and laws on its own citizens, now someone who chooses to struggle to obey those laws, may resent someone (anyone really) who disregards the same law provider, in this case the United States.

  There are racists, always will be sadly, but the laws and borders are not racist, and the people sensitive about enforcing those things are not automatically racist either. No matter how badly you want them to be.

  I agree the wall is a symbol, and it's one of hate.

  Please elaborate, and for the record, I am not keen on the wall idea, I think it's a lot of things, but "symbol of hate"? no. Explain to me how it symbolizes hate?

  And when it comes to the countries like Iraq, we are thoroughly naive on how they feel about us in those countries

  Again the issue is the wall, it's bigotry on display. If Obama tried putting up a naval blockade or a wall along Florida's coast I would be calling him and anyone that supported that a bigot as well.

  The 'Wall' is just a thing. More symbolic than anything. Something is illegal or it's not, we have gotten to the point where we judge a political figures bigotry on his willingness or energy to enforce the law. Trump has chosen border security as one of his campaign issues and now he is acting on it. That's pretty much the end of the story. The idea that he is the biggest racist since Hitler is blown way out of proportion.

  Why doesn't anyone step up and protest how poorly we treat our vets? we have a lot of other issues in this country that should come before our concern to protect someone who is essentially breaking the law. And I have no problem with anyone that does break the law, and comes and works or becomes legal or whatever, I have some dear friends who have done that, but I can't complain that a law exists.

  Would anyone here be willing to admit that if (hypothetically speaking) Obama and Trump signed the EXACT same executive order the reaction would be different? If you say the reaction would be the same, you are intellectually lying to yourself and this is why the new crazy group think left has lost its collective mind.

  Anyone care to talk about Obama being a Cuban Xenophobe? No? *crickets*... nothing?....anyone want to make some commercials or protest for cuban trying to escape a communist shithole???? nothing?? really??????? someone cry xenophobe or bigot...

  That's right, because he can do no wrong in the eyes of the granola crunching, armchair, regressive leftism that realistically puts more energy into hating trump simply because they are outraged than any one single thing he actually does.

  2017 Circuit Assembly: Lesbians at school demonstration

  by darkspilver in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  steve2: is there some way this can be presented so that it is crystal clear what was actually in the demonstrations and what was added?

  i guess some will think it should be obvious - but this is where misunderstandings arise because we end up wrongly attributing something to jw organization that was never said.. circuit assembly theme: maintain love for jehovah!.

  note to speaker: warmly encourage young ones to prove their friendship with jehovah by observing his commandments and defending his standards.

  It was a part of my wife waking up, we just started season 2 and now she is excited to watch it, during the first season she acknowledged it made her very uncomfortable.
