Haiti really is a shithole...they can't make beer and their soccer team sucks.

Going to the DR in two weeks. Interested to see what it's like there. Couple of local liquors I can't wait to try.

Dominican is OK. The other side of Hispaniola, however...

I swear b_l copy and pasted his last 2 posts from ones I made about him at some point.
He loses major points in the Originality category on my scorecard.

I told him that young girls get attacked whether they travel alone or with their parents and their parents should be held accountable for sending them illegally to the border. I showed him proof that the attacks happen whether they are alone or traveling with parents and then after debating me on this he spouts of with oh yeah of course. He is such a terrible human being.

So, tang, me and BL are terrible human beings, yet you continually defend a person who has:
1. Made fun of a mentally disabled person
2. Bragged about grabbing women by the *****
3. Referred to illegal Mexican immigrants as rapist
4. Called a number of third world countries shitholes

What have any of done that is worse than any of that?

LOL are you serious? bad luck blatantly called me a racist

cccp records a triple play.

OK, he removed the other two. There must be a glitch in programming somewhere...

Yeah I thought you said you wanted your kids to marry someone of the same race. That would be racist.

Case in point. MikeT and Tec were right about you. In fact I am not sure if anyone on these boards does not have a very negative opinion of you.

See the picture, little man?

Yes, I see how you have nothing left. You’ve literally looked like an idiot every time you have argued. I’d quit too, if that were the case.

BS. I have been proven correct in every single debate. You are a coward.

Oh, you have, huh?

Like the tax credit debate?

Are you arguing that you can't protest against something unless you yourself are hurt by the thing you are protesting against?

I am arguing you cannot be the face of that movement if you have actually never been hurt by it.

That’s stupid.

Or this one?

Liberal outrage at Berkley --- 600 police officers hired when Ben Shapiro wanted to speak there. LOL.

Talk about free speech.

Conservative outrage in America—the President freaks out when NFL players kneel. LOL

Talk about free speech.

False equivalency. NFL players are employees who in many eyes disrespected veterans. Since the color guard is always out and the announcer says "please stand so we can honor those who served".

You just cannot accept that you are ever wrong.

The constitution gives Ben Shapiro as much right to speak at Berkeley as it does the NFL players the right to kneel. Meaning, they are both protected from government action but not guaranteed a forum. The NFL, Berkeley, etc do not have to allow them the space to speak.

Indeed they don't but there were those that wanted to hear him speak. Have you ever heard him speak? He is at best benign. Yet people rioted because they did not like what he had to say and it took 600 police officers to hold them at bay. The fact that you cannot see that this is insanity is mind boggling to me. He actually does a Q & A at the end of each speech and welcomes those that oppose his views to speak first and debate very civilly.

You are honestly a terrible person and very one sided. Yes, I would say that to your face too.

People protested. They excercised their right to free speech also. Shapiro is free to stand on a street corner and say anything he wants. He isn’t guaranteed a hosted speaking engagement at a university.

But half the student body wanted him there and the half that whined and cried got their way. Are you saying that 100% of the students did not want him there or did a select few ruin it for the majority. As I said, Ben is a conservative but he never preaches violence or intolerance and encourages debates.

How do you know “half the student body” wanted him there?

It was more than half. Because I watched a news program on it. That was when I first learned about him.

LOL. like the parents traveling with the kids they sold into prostitution.

That happened. You're just too stupid to see that. So if a girl by herself travels she needs the pill but if she has her parents she doesn't? Like the bad people care. You really are stupid. And yes, that was how I learned about Ben Shapiro, the man you called a white supremacist. You live in a glass house, little man, don't throw stones.

No, it didn’t.

Definitely not this one.

Why are we cutting the military budget, that actually generates jobs vs. addressing entitlements?

Cutting the military budget won't mean less jobs generated.

How so? Do you know how many sub contractors rely on the military? That is such an ignorant and incorrect statement.

Cutting any government spending reduces jobs.

How would cutting entitlements reduce jobs? Do tell.

What entitlement are you talking about?

Medicare and Medicaid

So we cut Medicare. The dollars we were spending are no longer being spent. You don’t think that impacts jobs?

No. If a procedure costs $100...have more go out of pocket. Period.

Doctor still gets paid.

That’s not really the way it works.

Let’s say we cut Medicare spending by $30 billion a year. That’s about 5%.

All of that money comes out of the deficit though, so no one gets a tax break. Instead, we’re just disappearing $30 billion from the economy.

If someone used to have coverage for a $10,000 procedure and now they only get coverage for $5,000, most are going to forgo treatment or the doctor will have to write off the cost of the $5,000 the patient can’t afford to pay.

That reduces jobs, and not just in healthcare. People who sell anything to people who get their paychecks from the healthcare industry will see a slow down.

Now, maybe the economy can handle that. With unemployment low, cutting the deficit is probably a good idea as long as we see some wage growth soon. By that also applies to cutting defense spending, too.

Add this one to the list of times cccp wasn’t right.

Kavanaugh- he was hired at Harvard Law School by current Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who was appointed by Barack Obama to the court.

Just saying...

They had slick, pre-printed "Stop Kavanaugh" signs for the camera shot ABC News showed after the nomination.

Pre-printed. I wonder how many piles of signs the organizers had with different names on them? It would have been much more visually effective if the signs were hand-made. At least then, they could have given the illusion of spontaneity. Sometimes, the democrats just don't know how to play it cool.

Who cares? Dems have essentially no power in this situation as long as Collins and Murkowski don’t defect.

Astonishing. You are absolutely correct and absolutely miles off the mark all at the same time.

OK stalker. LOL. Care to explain why everyone on these boards thinks you’re either insane or a troll or worse?

waiting....

Create a separate thread and pick any topic and I will be glad to school you in a debate on it. Again.

Otherwise just be quiet and let the adults converse.
