Still waiting on that proof by the OP of large groups of brown people tearing down american flags from houses and burning them.

Indeed.... And I've gotta love my Master's Degree being "poorly educated" meanwhile he makes the most ridiculous assertions ever and doesn't provide any citation and he's apparently the bee's knees.

And on being an "HR Professional" - that was my career, as well as my education path which includes a Master's Degree. "Professional - n. a person competent or skilled in a particular activity." And I specialized in opening stores, it's a well paying career path, made more doing it than I made hiring office workers for Verizon when I first came out of college by far. (almost $10k more before bonuses, about $30k most years counting bonuses plus I gave me an excuse to see different areas that I enjoyed) But I guess because I managed staffing for 10k+ sq foot groceries with 200-400 staff per location that was frowned upon. [I'll admit it's not the most prestigious HR position, but it's one of the better ways to apply the degree]

Pretty sure a Master's Degree program in HR is more than enough to qualify as a professional being that it's the highest degree I'm aware of for the field.

And on "living off the taxpayer" - I pay quite a bit in taxes on my trust, and I've still got another 13 years before I'll have taken back every dollar that I paid in via my FICA assuming that wasn't defraying anything. And not at any point have I lied about one ounce of my life story. (Plenty of people disbelieve it and I don't care to be bothered by it so I've stepped back from that stuff however)

On "pretending to know the law" - I was reciting after reading an article on the matter. I wasn't 100% sure, I looked it up and that was the explicit specifics. This isn't the one I used before but it's even better than that one it looks:John Carter says Constitution gives Congress sway over immigration policy so Obama lacked authority to defer deportations of young illegal immigrants | PolitiFact Texas

In telephone interviews, lawyers versed in the Constitution and U.S. immigration laws told us that while there is no explicit language in the Constitution saying immigration policy shall be set by Congress, Article I, Section 8 has long been interpreted as giving Congress that role. The fourth clause of the section says Congress shall have the power to establish a uniform "Rule of Naturalization," as in determining who can legally be in the country.
Merlin was saying it was given to Congress in the Constitution which is false - they're given the ability to determine naturalization which isn't precisely the same thing, the SC has decided they're close enough however. But it's not because it's in the Constitution.

PS - Who's really the mad one? Going through a month worth of my history to quote stuff at me? LOL.

And on my own life, it does mostly suck - I'm generally unhappy, part of why I try to make the world a better place rather than focusing on my own life and health problems I can do little for.

Vaclav, Generol, no offense to either of you, but neither of you are sharing complex ideas. If it takes you pages of text to regurgitate these basic ideas you probably need to revisit the drawing board. Also this tit-for-tat bullshit just makes the writer look foolish.

I blame fanaskin and people like him - you forget to answer a point and suddenly they'll throw it back at you a week later saying "See this is right" because you didn't deem it that relevant to continue. ><

[Plus I love bullet lists]

I never would have guessed that this thread would make me think fondly of the time when we were talking about Astrocreep's movie watching habits.

vaclav is anal retentive, especially when he gets into "know it all" mode and starts talking to himself on a message board, wait until he starts citing his relatives as sources, it's a hoot.
Lol, I hate it when Fanaskin makes a good point that I have to agree with.

A trillion fucking dollars.

Also is Obama caused this mess. He opened his god damn mouth with the whole dreamer bullshit and it caused a retarded game of telephone in central america that to them the message was come here youre a okay.

Also Mexico is pretty fucking hard on illegals, which is laughably ironic.

I realize that - but I've turned a leaf in that regard. Or trying to, but people KEEP DRAGGING THEM UP NOW. People stated it was annoying, so I stopped. Except responding to harassment on it.

"This is annoying Vac, stop it"... (finally listens after a couple months).... "Vac, it's so annoying when you do X".... GAH!

(PS - On the above prod - she is a electrical engineer with an internet focus to be fair, and I'm not sure she ever endorsed it, just linked it - but I do assume such links to funding stuff to be endorsements)
It is annoying when you post outside of "Other Games" Vaclav, please stop. Get a job.

Bad news on the "getting a job" changing that - when I open the shop I'll probably still browse the net during slow times being that I'm planning to have a small LAN setup in there as well. (Doing a tabletop gaming/RPG/hobby location - and going to toss a video gaming/PC gaming lounge in with it assuming I don't run dry on funds to supply it from what I've got set aside, it is the first cut I'll make if I end up short though)

Must not be in Caly - we give our illegals driver's licenses. Stupid, but true.

Hey Convo, should we talk about how hospitals on the border have been closing the last decade because of the care they are forced to give illegals, and how the fucking Feds of all people won't take them into custody until *after* they get treated, so that they aren't responsible for the bills?

nah just getting blackout drunk and driving the wrong way on the freeway and killing cops

42-year-old ID'd as wrong-way driver who killed Mesa officer
That's impressive. Guy droves the wrong way on major freeways for 40 plus minutes before hitting someone. Even late at night that is a major accomplishment. Illegals drinking and driving is common in the Phoenix area. My aunt had her truck totaled when I was a kid by an illegal drinking and driver and the driver wasn't even deported. Amazingly the guy did make full restitution although it did take about 5 years.
