The Blue Board

Alright basic economIcs stupid....

Scarcity....

Look up the definition...Of scarcity stupid.

Every American has a finite amount of mOney to spend each year on a finite amount of resources.

If we deported "illegals" the cost of your new house, your vegetables. Your meats, most of the stuff you buy that's made in an American factory would increase by a rather small percentage. Maybe 10-20%. This increase would decrease your overall purchasing power, along with millions of other Americans.

The macro-economic effects of this would cause retards like yourself to rail about Obama, while failing to understand that deporting 11,000,000 low skill minimum wage workers just increased the costs of most of the shit you buy at the grocery store.

Again I envy your stupidity. If I was as Stupid as Troytide, life would be so much easier.

I wish I was a retarded Alabama fan, alas I have a brain.

First off, making $4 an hour in America is a hell of a lot better than making a nickel an hour in China. Second, if we're really that concerned with curbing "government leaches," why don't we start with those people that don't actually work a hard day's work?

But do you really want to know why I'm against deporting these people? Because they do work, and they work hard, and they do jobs that other Americans feel they are above doing. Quite frankly, we could take a page out of their books when it comes to earning a day's pay. I'd be quite content with them making minimum wage; they've earned it.

All non-sense. The $4 compared to a nickel is irrelevant as the effect on American jobs is the same.

And now Americans won't work for next to nothing, but they will work if the price is right.

The last paragraph is just emotion filled non-sense that has no place in a rational discussion. And btw, Americans work plenty hard ourselves.

Wow. In those discussions I don't think I have ever referred to the entire US population in that regard.

Your argument has strayed into the absurd now, see you in another thread, some other time.

Anybody else wants to a have a rational discussion that doesn't involve absurdities and talking points I am willing but I won't respond to the bull**** that has been thrown at me by the last two posters any longer.

That is all they have. They can't have a real conversation without name calling, ignorant stereotyping, or making absurd comparisons that make no sense. My guess is that they are know it all teenagers with no life experience.

Please tell me you're not actually a "birther." That would just be too priceless.

So you think I should take people who live at home with their parents, have no education, have no work experience, have never purchased a house or car, have no credit, etc seriously when they try to tell me what is best for the country and what I need?

Everything that you post is a sarcastic deflection and brings nothing to the conversation. See if you can respond to this without an immature deflection or calling me a name.

Would you take a single person seriously that was a marriage counselor?

Would you listen to someone's opinion about Canada if they had never been there?

I wouldn't, but to each his own, I guess. Before you try to spin this to fit your agenda, my point is that people with no experience on finances, budgets, taxes, etc should not be taken seriously when they comment on fixing the economy. That is one example of many on how experience gives a person more perspective on things, instead of repeating what they heard or talking out of their ass.

Someone deflects and name calls in almost every post they make. Yet it is a "canned" response when they are called out about it, even though it is true. Nice deflection.

It's a "canned response" because, nearly verbatim, it is said in every single political thread. That's not deflection, that's an observation. So when you talk about people slinging insults or just ducking the discussion, I'd like to know if you're the pot or the kettle?

Should experience be taken into account when judging someone? Of course. But should you immediately write someone off for lacking it? No. Quite frankly, I think as a society we look for any reason to write people off early and often. If we would take the time to hear what people have to say and see what their ideas are, I think we could accomplish a lot more.

But even then, people will even overlook experience if said expert doesn't share the same viewpoint as them. Americans, IMO, get more cynical and confrontational with each passing day.

"Before I try to spin this"? Don't flatter yourself.

You're making yet another false equivalency. Just because someone hasn't lived through/experienced something doesn't mean that their opinion should be ignored on the matter. If a single person had gotten an education in therapy and counseling, of course I'd listen to them. Same for Canada - if someone had gotten an education, done their research, and put in the effort to learn about Canada, of course I'd listen to them.

Automatically dismissing someone because they haven't experienced something is stupid. Watch:

Have you ever illegally immigrated into the US? If not, your opinion on immigration doesn't matter.

Have you ever been a woman and had an abortion? If not, your opinion on abortion doesn't matter.

Have you ever been poor and on welfare? If not, your opinion on welfare and public aid doesn't matter.

Do you see how silly that argument is?
