#3 - only illegal ones. I don't think many have a problem with legal immigrants.

#17 - looking back at my post, I was too harsh on you, Gal_tuesday. You are trying to help, and unlike so many progressives here, you don't wish death on people.

Please accept my apologies.

#14 - how many anti-vaxers will be reading this post? Three? Four maybe? And do you think if they haven't gotten vaccinated your thread will somehow magially convince them to get vaccinated?

No offense, but it doesn't sound very realistic.

#1 - as all Americans who respect our borders should want it. Don't denigrate non-Republicans like that.

*yawn*

Another anti-vaxxer-dies-of-covid thread.

How original. I never could have seen this coming.

I'm not sure I understand the topic of this thread.

Some how I think the world will go on for Australians and Americans in spite of France's little hissy fit. I guess time will tell.

I just hope next time they are jack-booted, the US and Australia remember today.

"Why can't you be surrender monkeys like us?"

The French

" But, I could see our useless military and intelligence agencies condoning the strike knowing kids were present"

I can see that, too. Those people hide behind children and put their arsenals and headquarters in mosques so they scream how horrible the US is for targeting children and mosques. They have no one to blame but themselves.

But that said, I still don't think Biden targeted children. He probably knew they wrould be collateral damage, however. Collateral damage is unavoidable when the enemy hides behind women and children

I've never seen nor heard of this happening. It's a very interesting phenomenon.

He may have lied about them dying, but he did not target the kids.

I'm pretty sure they are seeking a lower cost of living and fewer taxes.

I'm almost 60 years old and I've known a lot of people who have made a lot of moves. Yet I've never heard anyone say, "Gee, I think I'll move to this state because I like the governor." The article doesn't address this obvious point, oddly enough.

But the New Yorker? Another state that people are leaving because of the high cost of living and high taxes. Article sounds like sour grapes. Why don't you, New Yorker, look at the real reasons people are leaving California and New York? It's not because their governor's teeth are less pearly.

Meh. The spotlight is always on the disease or cause of the most recent celebrity's death. Remember when Robin Williams died? Everyone was talking about depression. What happened to that conversation? Has the world improved because it was spoken?

I haven't noticed.

People are shallow. If it's not in People or Us magazine, most don't care after a week or two.

#46 - put them on hold. But if sasquatch calls, I'll take it. He's more likely to exist than any of the 5,000 gods mankind has been plagued with in their history.

Isn't it weird how some people think I shouldn't have control over my body (specifically eyes) and read what I want to read without question or ridicule, but feel women should have control over their body without question? I think just as a woman should have control over her uterus, I should have control over my eyes. And neither of us should be questioned for our choices.

I wonder if those folks can spell hypocrisy?

"From the guy who has to exert total control over who he sees posts from."

Yes. I also have control over which magazines I read. I have control over which newspapers I read. I have control over which personalities I read. I have control over which blogs I visit. I have control over which topics I read here.

You think I shouldn't have such control? You think as a progressive you should control my reading habits? Geez. how fucking arrogant and self-centered is that?

And thanks for proving you were completely unable to discuss a real idea and had to continue with the small minded talking about people stuff.

To everyone -- especially -- speaksoftly:

I told you so.

Back to killfiles with you, speaksoftly. Feel free to ramble on how I hate reading childish drivel and how I would rather read about the topics than myself even though you think I should.

#43 - who cares what the bible says about abortion or anything? It is no more a realistic tome than Harry Potter.

#26 - americanunity gets it.

#24 - I never knew refusing to read what one doesn't want to was the sign of a small mind. I guess I need to start reading Harlequin romance novels lest I be labeled a small mind.

On second thought, no. I'll continue to shy away from things I don't want to read -- like childish insults. Label me how you wish, Bruseaz. It matters not to me.

Why do progressives denigrate people who don't wish to read what they want to? I don't put people down because they like to read cheap drive by insults and don't want to remain on topic. Why don't they give me the same consideration because I don't want to read that crap?

Control freaks is my guess. "READ WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD, OR YOU ARE A SMALL MIND!".

Got it, Bruce. I don't agree, though.

Is that OK with you? Can we agree to disagree and move on?

As the article said, weed has been used to quell nausea. But when you scarf down a bag of Doritos, a pound of M&Ms, an eclair with a pickle and mashed potatoes in the center, and a three day old tuna sandwich from the 7-11 because of the munchies, your gut it going to complain and purge itself.

Back on topic after Donnerboy hijacked the thread:

Again, can't this be fixed ala Andrew Cuomo?

"Proceeds to discuss Donnerboy."

Actually, I was responding to donnerboy. I did not gratuitously bring him up. But you know that, troll.

"It's just like old times!"

Indeed.

Jeez. What a mistake it was to loosen up the killfiles. As snoofy said, "Just like old times.

Killfiles back on. Maybe I'll check back in another week or two and see if anything has changed.

Isn't it interesting that the only people who object to Eleanor Roosevelt's quote are those who spend their time here insulting people and rarely, if ever discuss the topic?

I've never seen any of the people who discuss ideas object to it. Not a single one.

Think about that, and let it sink in, ye with small minds.

#14 - ""Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas"

I know this offends you, speaksoftly, because you are unable to discuss the topic. You always discuss the people who write posts with which you disagree. You despise being reminded of what you are and what you do here.

Prove me wrong. Your post #14 is of course a small minded comment about me. See if you can step out of that small minded mindset and comment on what I wrote. Can you dispute it? If so, please do.

Or continue being a small mind and whining every time you are reminded of it with Mrs Roosevelt's spot on quote.

I'll wait and see which you choose to do. If you can muster up the courage to shift from small to medium or great mind, prove it to us.

Not only I, but those who seek more than childish name calling here thank you.

#11 - " That sounds exactly like what a liberal would say."

Indeed. Liberals are not afraid to hide from their sins and do not protect those who commit them. Progressives, however, are blind to the weakness of their own as you clearly admit to being with your "not".

Liberals accept their mistakes and learn from them and can joke about their own who are weak. Progressives like you pretend it's a blasphemy to call out one of your own.

It's obvious which you are, my dear, dishonest, Donnerboy.
