    /csb time

    This weekend we were in the Albuquerque airport flying back to Houston, and we saw an older white guy wearing a red t-shirt that said something like "Did you know black people owned slaves in America?" on the front, and on the back it said "Black people owned slaves in TX, LA, GA" and like 6 other states. 

    Get on the plane, and of course this dude sits across the aisle from us. Damnit. Then, a younger black guy ends up sitting next to him. They didn't talk or engage. Right before taking off a flight attendant came up to the black guy and said there was an empty row if he'd like to move. Black guy was like "Yep, that sounds great!". 

    Fuck Trump. 

     

    There was an empty row on a Southwest flight?

    I am faaaarrr from an X's and O's kinda guy but I was thinking on third down (before the Ingram drop) that some kind of backside misdirection pass like that would be an easy 6. For a split-second I was patting myself on the back, and then Ingram let it slip through his fingers. 

    If Ingram catches that ball then obviously the game is totally different.  We wouldn’t be trailing and the big MO is on our side.

    Bernie's GND plan excludes nuclear power and since I'm an engineering nerd (O&G by trade, but that's just where the money is) that offends me greatly. Fast-tracking GenIV reactors would be my play for long-term consistent production.

    Petroleum or Chemical?

    Well cold fusion hasn’t been perfected yet but wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear (if you count nuclear) do kinda work already.  

    I guess it depends on which sector of the energy market you think the science can’t handle. 

    I thought environmentalists despise nuclear power (fission kind).  Wind and solar aren't even close to being commercially viable everywhere.

    It's a lot like watching the right.

    Not even close.  The right does incredibly dumb things there is no doubt about that but the left does it to a whole different level.  The Green New Deal is just one example.

    No, I'm against the idea of ICE.  I'm about 95-97% libertarian. 

    See my post above for details on my immigration beliefs. 

    The people who are still here after getting their day in court and were ordered deported should not obey the law?

    Last time I engaged a dumbass troll like this one the mods gave me a time out. Might have been deserved but, lesson learned. It’s probably the same guy anyway. So I’m parachuting out of this thread for the time being. 

    Some of you on this thread and site really need to take a deep breath and a step back.  My reactions and posts were not in any way insulting to ANYONE but you all tend to pounce on anyone who slightly disagrees with you.  Some if the responses like "someone raping their mother" gets positive responses is just astounding.  Is this how you act in front of friends and co-workers?  Nope not in the least because here you are anonymous and everyone is Superman when there are no repercussions to your actions.  I never NEG anyone first.  Chillax

    An opinion piece from the Washington Examiner?  Really?  That's your source?

    But, yes, there are people for open borders...they are called Libertarians.

    So the information that is cited is incorrect?

     

    Really?

     

    From the Libertarians:

    • Libertarianism is a moral and political philosophy that argues in favor of a strong presumption of letting people engage freely in mutually consensual activity and on minimizing coercion in society. In the modern political context, libertarians generally focus on government-enforced and government-facilitated coercion.
    • The right to migrate can be considered a corollary of the libertarian view that people should be free to do what they please (individually or collectively) unless it violates the rights of others.
    • Libertarians’ view of obligations to strangers has two core premises. First, no obligations to strangers beyond respecting their rights. Second, a very strong obligation to respect their rights. Together, these premises argue in favor of not letting concerns about harms to fellow nationals be a justification for opposing free migration.
    • Although libertarian theory does not really offer a case against free migration, libertarians have argued against free migration on consequentialist grounds (in terms of the detrimental effects that an open borders policy would have on moving towards or maintaining a libertarian society) as well as via the anarcho-capitalist counterfactual.
    • Even many libertarians who do support freer migration do not consider freedom of migration a high-priority issue.

    What the Libertarians really think about open boarders
