True, my personal belief is that you're a textbook personality disorder/cluster B case (most white male wingnuts in the US are.) But even a trained health professional would have difficulty making that diagnosis conclusively.

In case Mr Eather is unaware of it, you have previously been widely ridiculed for writing...

Eather is "reactivated" so I didn't see the original post. As for "decency" my epitaph will be quite lengthy. Will Eather's? An amusing question for later in history... "Who was David Eather?" WHO ?>:-} ...Jim Thompson

The only thing they're better at than me is lying. I was somewhat disappointed to see that Trump is going this year. His boycott last time round was truly inspirational.

LOL! Actually, the best epitaph I've ever seen is on (English comedian) Spike Milligan's grave and it reads, "I told you I was ill!"

No one's doing here that except you. The rest of us are noticing that certain countries' philosophies and customs don't work.

Bringing lots of people over so that they can bring that failed mindset isn't helpful to us, not in our interest.

If they want to come because they admire and want to be and live like us, that's one thing. If they want to come for the prosperity but cling to the ideas that made their countries fail, that's another.

But you're missing Trump's point. He's for merit-based, and Democrats are for a quota-based system. Democrats were arguing for immigration built on per-country quotas. *THAT* is basing decisions on country of origin. Stereotyping.

Trump was pointing out that's irrational--why would we do that? Some of those places suck, so why would we, as the Democrats insisted we must, treat them all equally and import large numbers of people based solely on their national origin, rather than welcoming people from all over based on their individual virtues?

But of course none of this is real coming from the left. They aren't concerned about what's best. The real issue is that the Democrat leaders need new voters to vote ways that American citizens haven't, wouldn't, and won't. And people from countries impoverished by voting for various forms of socialism, by that very failure, have a proven track-record of voting for socialism. So let's bus 'em in!

That's what this is all really about.

Cheers, James Arthur

True. I was trying to suggest it's important to make sure they're coming to America for the right reason--to join us and live like we do. Them simply wanting to escape (what they've possibly helped create) doesn't automatically make it in our interest to accept them.

But--Trump's point--if their country's culture is so rotten, that's even less reason to *specifically* let them in because of some phony national quota.

I don't blame them for trying either. But it's absurd to think we're duty-bound to take them.

If we let a billion Africans come here and adopted their ways, we'd be Africa. Or a billion Russians, etc. America would collapse and disappear overnight. We'd have dictators and warlords--the lot, just like those others places have had, forever.

That's not the land though, those are ideas any people could decide to copy.

What surprises me is that no one ever has. Not even Europe.

Cheers, James Arthur

Yes, and it's amazing so many gullible fools have bought into it and even defend it - against their own best interests!

Bullshit.

You mean lied about what was said? (Dick Durban is known for such things).

It's dumb to hire people because they are nice, or because you approve of their looks or personality. I hire people because they can do stuff.

He's OUR schoolyard bully. Ask Assad's air force if they approve of Trump's diplomacy.

I did not make anything up. I am waiting for the ABC to put the story on iView so I can paste a link. I think I did make a mistake by saying "Missouri" - I think it is supposed to be "Mississippi". We only have 7 states, so 51 is hard to keep straight. I have been looking at the details on literacy. If you want to do your own research on literacy you will find an absolute flood of details all using a different measure of "literacy". One thing you will find is that by selecting those 2 states the results are very close and it is not hard to see that somewhere there is a set of results that support the claim. Personal attacker please note, it was not my claim and I never claimed it was.

Again. I am waiting for the ABC to put the story up so I can post a link. I did not make it up.

I'm pretty sure I haven't met him, nor did I say I had.

What's it like, being a sycophant?

Lots of things are totally beyond Cursitor Doom. When you get your "facts" from the Daily Mail and Russian Today, making any kind of sense of the world is difficult.

Actually, you did.

You really are stupid. Thompson doesn't even like me but I'd count a thousand Thompsons as friends before one lefty asshole like you.

I wonder how much of Jim Thompson's epitaph will be devoted to his plan to shoot his more left-wing neighbours after the US fell apart?

Oh, rule of law is important. Came from the code of Hammurabi, through Rome, the Magna Carta, and the US Constitution. It's another inherited tradition.

That'd be from Iraq, I suppose.
