So why am I being encouraged to make an economic migration and they're being banned?

This is simply the conflation of illegal iwth legal, not just spurious, but dishonest.

Yes there is. That isn't how luck works. It's the definition of random.

It's the exact opposite of random, but glad you are willing to respect the definition of random unlike illegal.

You could only have been born to your parents; your DNA is unique and could only have come from them. Any deviation in the events that led to the copulation that produced you would have produced someone else, i.e. a sibling.

Why would I? It was luck. I had no control over it. Same as them. What I do do is recognize context. And there's no reason why economic migration is good for the goose but not the gander. You're preaching it to me while condemning it for them.

As explained aboev, it could not be luck, but even if it wase, your conclusion does not follow: it is, of course, spurious. You not having agency in the choice of your birth is not relevant.

Excuses and semantics. For real, what's the difference?

It is neither an excuse, nor is the difference between illegal and legal merely a semantic one, but definitional. You judgmentally falsely accuse others of hypocrisy as part of your schtick, never seeing it in yourself... where it's everywhere.

A clump of cells incapable of breathing or living outside of a body is not a baby. Just because you think it is doesn't give you the right to subjugate another person's body and take control of it.

It is not a clump of cells, but you do not establish your right to murder it just by location or dependency. That is reason against abortion, not for it. Namely, the necessity of law to protect the helpless individual from amoral ignorant outside actors intent on murdering him or her.

This is what you support. One day you will know you were wrong. I pity you that day.

It is real simple....If you think abortion is wrong then don't have an abortion. Problem solved.
By your logic, every time you use your sock monkey to get funky...you are killing half the person and a future person. Sperm lives matter right?

No, this is not a coherent argument either, nor does it answer my objection.

No, you used an example to attempt to reinforce your point. I turned that example around and explained how your reasoning was all wrong. For both that situation in Appalachia and the broader point about minorities. The Black community find themselves in a particular set of historical circumstances just like Appalachians do.

Now, as for the rest about Appalachia. Bullshit guys don't work on pills. I live it every day. Of course they take them to deal with the pain. OF WORKING IN THE MINES. They would've taken them regardless of the pushers(Big Pharma should absolutely be prosecuted for what they did, just talking reality). They do lots of other things too, that still aren't legal. America has always exploited our area, that's nothing new. Hence the drugs. In the twenties they even called in the Army to break the strikes and beat us back to work. You have some illusion that life was good before the present messed that up. It wasn't.

You explained none of it. You just said it's wrong vut i have 100s of years of proof. Turns out the harder you work, the higher the odds you'll have a good life.

That's not true about working on narcotics. They get drug tested regularly and fired if they're dirty. What little mining jobs the libs left behind are too precious to risk.

They get tested because its mandatory for insurance and other liability reasons. Iirc the shift foreman has to visibly look over each person before they go underground to also verify they aren't intoxicated or visibly unable to perform.

So apparently you don't know as much about mining as you think.

Even so it all goes back to my original point: regardless of race in the free market you can make a nice life if you work hard and have personal accountability. Handouts poison work ethic and ambition but they do produce votes, which is why libs love them.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

ILLEGAL why? Because they crossed a line on a map looking for economic improvement. @trueblujr2 told me to move to the city for work. If I go to Knoxville I'll have crossed city boundaries, county boundaries, and state boundaries. State boundaries that once were, and many would argue should be again, much bigger deals than they are with the freedom of movement we have today. Y'all have two big ideals here that are massively at odds in your ideology.

So boundaries to your home and property mean nothing i suppose. Guess ill just build a structure on your land and drink your soy milk from your fridge.

Thanks pal!

If you're waiting for a coherent answer from sam, just save yourself some time.

Get a hammer, smash your thumb with it, and then take 4 aspirin.

You'll be better off in the long run, and it won't be NEARLY as painful.

Definitely tried to say we think that maybe he is a white supremacy Nationalist, domestic terrorist, but if we get caught lying we can say we weren’t 100% sure. We will see who runs with it first.

It is trending that way. Their goal of one world government is going to cause the US to have multiple ones instead.

2020 was a stolen election. If you were honest with yourself, you’d admit it.

Cite the proof in a court case or shut up.

Nor is it the government's business then. And the only thing the Federal Government and SCOTUS have said is, "it's none of our business." So what, exactly, are you whining about, you irritating ankle biter?

If Trump does win, he needs to figuratively nuke all of those agencies back to the stone age and start over again. No playing nice this time.

I wonder if all the Commies in the news media is calling those who disagree with Venezuelan elections results election deniers?

 

[bubba_bomb]

Start watching at the 4:19 mark. They display a chart on how the Venezuelan and Georgia elections follow the same chart trajectory. Maduro literally copies the election theft strategy the Dems used in 2020. He was down bigly but all of a sudden overnight he amasses just the right number of votes to win.

Agreed, and she is supremely qualified, which irks me to no end Trump did the DEI nonsense by saying he was picking a woman.

Leave that shit out of it, dude. Biden, too. Just pick the dam person.

Qualified maybe but a huge disappointment Barnes warned us Shes Amy Phony Barrett, aMM pick

I went over to the rafters today (first time in MONTHS), to see if there was a link to the La Familia/TheVille TBT game, and immediately regretted it. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I panicked and left within 30 seconds. It's horrifying in there.
