Will Biden be called a racist now because he wants to build a wall?

What does everyone think of this....cost starts at $76,000 just for the right to own a car in Singapore? Singapore: In this expensive city, the right to own a car costs $76,000. And that doesn't include the car | CNN Business

This sorta of sounds good on paper until you really think about it...where does income-based pricing of things stop? Should the cost of goods be income based as well...i.e., a car for Gates should cost $1.4 billion? How about his groceries? etc. That is why it isn't a good idea to base things on cost. Here is a better idea...just don't break laws...and if you do, you pay the price (jail and/or $$). If someone has more money than another person that is a whole separate issue...which I have no problem with.

Funny who is posting facts and who is just trying to nitpick and attack words....LOL

Yes we would!

Wait for the spin after that post...

Imagine if politicians actually cared about getting things done and done in a timely/efficient/costly manner instead of showing each other up, all for the vote

I don't think keeping people angry has anything to do with it. There is nothing wrong with people being concerned about high crime, no matter how it is in relation to the past. No one can say that the areas people are talking about has low crime rate; thus, the need for conversation is definitely okay. Deflecting by saying, well it is lower than a previous time in history does nothing other than to deflect and/or argue with people. If you don't think there is a problem in the areas in question, you may in fact be part of the problem. Again, what are the things each of these areas have in common?

but hate tastes better when it's sugarcoated

I think the argument is that yes the gates may have been open in other presidency's, however, in this presidency the gates have been "welded open", not just opened for the monsoon season...at least that is how I took what people are saying...especially since he specifically used the word "welded" when discussing it.

My take on the article....the gates were put in for flooding reasons and are part of a boarder wall. The gates themselves have been opened in other presidencies for flooding reasons. Illegals cross through the gates when they are open. There is no mention of if they are in fact welded open during this presidency. Overall the "fact check" was really weak and not a lot of substance in terms of what is being argued here...other than yes they are flood gates on the boarder wall and they have been open before and illegals do cross through them when open.

If people agree that crime in some areas has gotten out of control, if it isn't because of certain policies and certain DA's, what is the cause, or causes? Are there any correlations between the different area's that can be made? If there is, why do people discount them so quickly...if you want crime to go down why wouldn't you be open to any and all solutions and ideas??

I think 95.98% of people agree with the basic principles around this issue. It gets bogged down from the minutia, the overdramatized media, and the inference by people in terms of what people actually intend with their opinion...ex., saying you disagree with a parent giving their kid hormone blockers doesn't mean you hate trans people, or people having an opinion of trans women should not compete against biological women in sport doesn't mean you are transphobe and are a hateful person.

I kind of agree with what you are saying Bob...but the flip side holds true as well...why are people making this a HUGE issue and headlines lately? Why bring up the very small instances of the extreme bad things that happen to trans people? Why do people make it a HUGE issue for the politicians to address these very rare instances? Why are their commercials about these things?? Why do we have parades? The point is that no matter what side of the issue you are on, it is always blown way out of proportion in order to make a point, and then people on the opposite sides sit back and point fingers. Here is a fix...leave kids alone in terms of surgery or drugs and make sure they have the proper mental health care they need. Have a bathroom for males and one for females (biologically assigned sex) and than a single stall all sex bathroom with a lock on the door. Let ADULTS do whatever the heck they want to their body, call themselves whatever they want to call themselves, marry and sleep with whomever they want to sleep with...and just leave each other alone. Oh yeah, for sports, you either participate based on the biological assigned sex at birth, or in a trans group...if their isn't a trans group, a trans person can be a leader and create one (get funding, participants, run the league, etc.).

Why would a flood gate/boarder wall gate need to be welded OPEN in the first place?? Let's try and answer that question with any sort of logical answer.

What is concerning is the joy some take when one side or the other is in shambles/messes up/does something stupid/etc...best analogy I heard of our government is the US is a bird and the R's are one wing and the D's are the other and thus hoping one side fails or screws up is hoping the US falls to the ground. It really sucks that the House is in shambles and McCarthy got ousted...not because I am an R, but rather it means our government once again sucks. I typically agree with one side;s policies, but also agree with the other sides at times too,...however, both sides do the same thing in terms of "bad" things. Overall, get rid of the R and D, have term limits, and equal amounts of $$ and air time (can only talk about their policy ideas) to campaign on.

I'm sure this is where him and I would diverge (like probably every other topic there is)...I am not a lenient person for criminals...especially repeat offenders.

Actually agree with GWN

I can't even imagine the horror for the little girl and her family. So glad they found her alive!

Then just keep posting

So doing something that is a civil offence isn't "illegal"?? What the?!?

Yep...I am a dick...to YOU! I give what I get...idiot

An easier solution would be to have no border...just let everyone in...doesn't matter where they are from or the type of person they are. We don't need boarders...they are racist and it is racist not to let every single person come into our country no matter what their intentions are. Heck I say get rid of all state boarders too, what is the point other than to segregate and divide people. While we are at it, let's just get rid of property boarders...all land is everyone's land....all houses are everyone's houses. All those terrorist are welcome anytime. MS-13 gang members, come on over...we'll cookout! It is such a simple solution....let's elect someone who will do this...oh wait.... Oh sorry...I didn't bold anything...

LOL...one of the better Holier Than Thow post in a long time...especially coming from someone who calls people "dicks" on the reg.
