Imbecile: AOC claims US "running concentration camps on our southern border""that is exactly what they are...concentration camps" {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 06:03

AOC graduated **** laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in international relations and economics. tatoufan Jun 18, 08:24

both things can be true. it is indeed imbecilic to compare the two. {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 11:14

Fits the definition "a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, Antibody Jun 18, 09:03

sworn declaration from an actual nazi concentration camp survivor that yes these are the same thing professor zovek Jun 18, 10:09

Silly me. I was hoping no one lacked the sense to try & justify those comments. Ask an Auschwitz survivor how apt it is. forlorne Jun 18, 10:29

You're adding your opinion to the definition. Nevertheless, kids have died from lack of medical care. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:33

NO, they haven't died from lack of medical care HERE. They died of illnesses they were forced into a long unhealthy trip with. forlorne Jun 18, 11:11

And no that wasn't my *opinion*, that is the accepted def of concentration camp, unlike to *censored* one you gave {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 11:12

rest fo the definition you left out "a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted forlorne Jun 18, 11:09

" sometimes" doesn't mean ALL the time. Concentration camps didn't start and end with the Nazis. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 11:13

A place people volunteer to go to, are free to leave, and are well fed, clothed and get medical care free is NEVER a concentration camp {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 13:34

So now you want to argue the defintion of volunteer? {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 13:58

In this context volunteer = came of their own free will. {nm} forlorne Jun 19, 13:06

now how 'bout an admission that your quoted concentration camp survivor was no such thing? {nm} forlorne Jun 19, 13:06

Seriously, what a stupendous insult in the face to anyone who has actually been in a concentration camp! {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 11:14

Not to this survivor you ignored. Antibody Jun 18, 11:22

You didn't actually trouble to read it, did you? The person who wrote that was never in a camp, they escaped Germany and ended up in US! forlorne Jun 18, 13:44

Difficult to respect concentration camp argument.Difficult to respect supporters of bigoted, cruel, authoritarian immigration practices {nm} SenJohnBlutarsky Jun 18, 19:36

Parkland teen has his Harvard acceptance rescinded when his racist social media postings come to the school's attention #WompWomp professor zovek Jun 17, 16:58

Seems appropriate to rescind admission. This was recent, & if nothing else idiocy in the age of social media scrutiny. {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 07:07

No such thing as free speech in progressive society, only conformant speech {nm} Nobody Jun 18, 09:43

He's free to be a racist. Private institution Harvard is free to not admit him. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 09:49

"he's no angel" same age as Korey Wise when he was railroaded as a juvenile into a 11-year prison term for a crime he did not commit {nm} professor zovek Jun 18, 10:31

We agree...up to the point where you call Harvard a "private institution". When tghey take my money, they aren't private any more. {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 11:16

Fox News Poll: 50% of registered voters believe Trump campaign coordinated with Russia. 50% say Trump should be Impeached. Antibody Jun 17, 16:58

In other words, ~50% say they hate Trump. Weird:7% said they want him impeached but not removed from office. Huh? {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 07:10

why is this mass shooting getting little attention? https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/17/us/philadelphia-graduation-party-shooting/index.html {nm} forlorne Jun 17, 13:45

CNN is little? {nm} Antibody Jun 17, 14:33

Buried in CNN. Point was, coverage seems wildly inconsistent. {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 05:58

Mass shouting of one??? {nm} Lukasck Jun 17, 15:58

It must be why... When there is too many shooting in your country, numbers have to be bigger to attact any attention... {nm} Lukasck Jun 17, 16:02

To attract any attention... damn fingers... {nm} Lukasck Jun 17, 16:02

Federal Reserve: the top 1% have made $29 trillion (with a T) since 1989. the bottom 50%, not so much professor zovek Jun 17, 11:14

The 1% create jobs so that the 99% can earn money. They deserve to make tons of money. The bottom 50% made poor life choices {nm} Nobody Jun 17, 12:05

The median income in the US is $61,372 in 2017. According to you, anyone making under that has made poor life choices. Antibody Jun 17, 14:59

That's household income, which is typically two incomes. So each person makes approx. $30K which is about $14/hour. If you can't make more.. Nobody Jun 18, 10:00

No, they don't. DTravel Jun 17, 15:04

Those born into the 1% also did nothing to create jobs so they should give up all their inheritance and make their own $. {nm} Antibody Jun 17, 15:11

On what basis does the government have a right to your ALREADY TAXED assets rather than you deciding who gets them? {nm} forlorne Jun 18, 05:57

On Nobody (a.k.a psisson) 's basis that only job creators deserve to make tons of money. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 09:07

Oh no, doxxed! Yes those who create jobs for the 99% to earn a living "deserve" to make gobs of money. {nm} Nobody Jun 18, 09:52

Who do you think develops and manufactures and markets those products and services? Not the 99% {nm} Nobody Jun 18, 09:51

Small businesses, started and owned by the 99%, are responsible for more job creation than large corporations. {nm} DTravel Jun 18, 10:36

Forgot to mention, businesses start (and create jobs) to fulfill a demand. DTravel Jun 18, 15:43

That's a "damning indictment of capitalism"? Envy is not a good look. Capitalism has been the biggest driver of the most people in history forlorne Jun 17, 13:39

If that bottom 50% is better off than they were before, what's your beef? So many people would rather they made 5% forlorne Jun 17, 13:42

"Socialism has been the impoverishment and death of hundreds of millions." There are many of wealthy people around Europe tatoufan Jun 17, 14:08

actually... race is a protected classification so even facially neutral laws may be unconstitutional if they have a disparate racial impact professor zovek Jun 15, 14:12

Remind me how you objectively decide which "race" someone belongs to? {nm} forlorne Jun 17, 08:29

As someone who worked in the 2010 Census, a person is whatever "race" they tell you they are. {nm} DTravel Jun 17, 22:59

Bottom line: finding out how many citizens the U.S. has is a legitimate function of the census. You're trying to create "motivation crimes". {nm} forlorne Jun 17, 08:40

It's optimism, like choosing to go to the moon within 10 years. Imbecile is saying the moon is part of Mars. {nm} Antibody Jun 14, 14:46

It's like saying "we're gonna cure disease". It's either pandering or delusional. Why not promise immortality if he's elected? {nm} forlorne Jun 17, 08:24

Huh? Many diseases have been cured. {nm} Antibody Jun 17, 11:12

specific diseases! saying you're going to cure cancer=saying you're going to cure ALL disease. Cancer in the broad sense is not a specific forlorne Jun 17, 13:47

No. Cancer =/= all diseases. Cancer is "a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body." {nm} Antibody Jun 17, 14:35

Trump saying he wants to end HIV transmission by 2030 is a specific, optimistic proposal. What Biden said is medical idiocy. {nm} forlorne Jun 17, 13:50
