So what if our allies hate us? We're owning the libs, man!

So we're all clear... there are more punishments for "violation of team rules" than being booted from the team.

I mean... that sounds noble, but if you kicked off every athlete from every sport who said or did something to hurt their ex, half of Nebraska sports would be gone. And that's girls and guys sports. This kind of "solution" is not a real-world idea. Kids do dumb things. You can't default to the nuclear option because someone offended someone else.

I've seen people talking about the kinds of problems you're talking about here - basically, assimilation of foreigners into American culture. It can be a big problem, especially if all parties involved aren't interested in assimilating.

While I agree with Mavric, I'd rather see Iowa State or Kansas take that slot.

Are the people you're talking about here illegals?

To your second paragraph, I think polls show that this is what people overwhelmingly want. The immigration process is too long and doesn't meet the needs of refugees or us Americans. On your second paragraph, I don't think our border is as unsecure as the media says. Our border patrol, along with existing barriers, do a good job. It's just that desperate people will find a way in. The best thing, as you've said, is to make the asylum/immigration process easier and quicker. Problem is, that's the opposite of what Trump wants. He wants 1) a monument to himself, and 2) to show that he's hurting people from the s#!thole countries, as he calls them. The cruelty of it all is the point.

I can't wait until 2028 when President Ocasio-Cortez declares a national emergency and enacts the Green New Deal and all the conservatives are like, "Yep, that's what the president can do." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just saw that. What an ultramaroon.

Trump is stating his intent to declare an "emergency" so he can force American taxpayers to pay for his racist money pit. Remember, if you're in favor of this stunt by Trump, you're saying you'd have been OK with any other president bypassing congress to get their pet project done. For example, if Obama had just declared a national emergency and funded Obamacare rather than vet it through months of congressional discussion. The powers you allow those in office today will be used by people you oppose tomorrow.

I do small crafts for my girls, and hand out candy at work a lot of times. It's fun if you're into this kind of thing, and it's easy to do something simple and inexpensive. Pinterest is a great resource for cheap Valentine's ideas. Been going there for a few years now.

Dude, WTF are you on about? Just stop with this mantra that people only care about winning. It's getting really old.

From an account created less than two hours ago, with one post. Let's not pretend this is indicative of the view of everyone else in this thread. It's a tiny minority, and they're wrong.

So @Moiraine can do whatever she wants? Pfff!
