Starship Troopers rules where only military veterans are citizens with full rights

They want a perpetual underclass of browns. Why do you think that there has to be a path to citizenship?

I think he's asking how do the white people become citizens if its not at birth. The answer being that it will be applied entirely hypocritically.

This is good and intuitively makes sense. This needs to be the argument.

That was a joke from me just for the record.

In countries that do not have birthright citizenship you usually obtain citizenship if one or both of your parents have citizenship. If neither parent is a citizen there might be a way to apply for citizenship.

Ireland had birthright citizenship until 2005. Now, if you're born on the island of Ireland you're entitled to citizenship if one of your parents is a citizen (naturalised or otherwise), or if one of them has been legally resident in the country for three of the four years prior to your birth. Five out of the last nine years' legal residence (certain types of residence, ie Stamp 2 for study, excepted) will entitle any adult to apply for naturalisation, and once naturalised, they can apply to have their minor children naturalised also.

That's what it looks like when you just about manage to placate the racist angerbears by taking them at their word and reshaping the laws to literally only exclude the dread Anchor Baby. Very little confidence that's how it would go in the US.

ETA also birth-entitled to citizenship if born on the island and one of your parents is a Brit. No idea why, but that's always been there.

Oh yeah me too haha hah

Basically, yes, that's what I meant. Maybe a better way to phrase it would have been, what are the criteria for citizenship if it's not birth in the country?

Thanks for the info.

Apparently Project Veritas has gotten some of their employee's to secretly work on the campaigns of a bunch of progressives.

In this bombshell they record Beto campaign workers deciding to feed and give blankets to some immigrants recently granted asylum and are staying at churches. They do talk about possibly using campaign funds to do it, would that actually be illegal?

Did you dudes realize that schools punish kids for defending themselves when being physically assaulted at school?

It likely varies by jurisdiction, but in my neck of the woods they literally train kids to put their hands in their pockets to avoid fighting back if they start getting pummeled by other kids because if they put their dukes up and hit their assailant they'll be punished with suspensions.

If my kid got suspended for hitting his bully / assailant back to protect himself I'd throw a "Defend Yourself!" party while he's suspended with all his friends and would provide as much soda and ice cream as they desired.

Yeah it sucks big time. In middle school some kids girlfriend said I was cute or something, don't really remember. Anyways while in the locker room for PE this kid runs up and just punches me in the face right in front of the PE teacher, who breaks it up immediately. I never touched him. I still got suspended for like 4 days and had to do a bunch of community service. Same exact punishment he got actually.

There's no good reason for it. Best I can see a school might defend this practice by saying they have a hard time deciphering victim from aggressor so punish both, in which case I'd say "innocent until proven guilty" and **** right off with this policy.

What the **** are you teaching children - at a learning institution, no less! - by telling them to put their hands in their pockets while getting assailed?! The ****?!

I went to a bunch of different school districts. Some would take into account who started it, and actually try to understand who was to blame/just defending themselves/etc. Some would just punish everyone.

The *punish everyone involved* schools were worse in every way than the others.

My stepdad always told me - if someone hits you, hit them back, no matter the consequences. Which I don't think is bad advice for grade/middle schoolers. By high school you need to pick you battles a little better as kids could have weapons or do serious damage.

That middle school was actually great besides that. Great teachers & great food. I think they got a ton of money from the Indian reservation right next door, same one I now play poker at.

Fun story. The school once went on an intense several hour lock down that went on well after school being over because some dude on the reservation mountains was spotted with a rifle. Guess he was just out hunting or something lol.

The schools are probably more worried about defending themselves against lawsuits if they say - whether implicitly or explicitly - it's okay to fight back and the bully gets seriously injured.

Terrible argument, especially considering roe v wade and life starts after 1st trimester. don't bring conception or any similar mess into this.
Born in USA = citizen. End of story.

I would have gone into a blind rage and smashed Alexa to pieces.

Why?


And that kid is freaking adorable.

Here's me with every voice-automated customer support ever:

Female voice: "Would you like to speak to a representative?"

Me as clearly as I can say it: "Yes."

Female voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Would you like to speak to a representative?"

Me: "YES!"

Female voice: "I'm sorry... I still didn't get that. Please say yes if you would like to speak to a representative."

Me: "YES! YES! YES! **** YOU!!!! T )@!@#(@#9)(#U$!O*#$*#$$*##$OU*$OU$OU#$ " (presses 0000000000000000000000)


From copacetic to BLIND ****ING RAGE in 15 seconds. Never fails. I think my blood pressure went up 10% just typing this.

Bringing Alexa into my house would be like willingly bringing ikestoys into my house to troll me every time I say something.

I'm ready to burn all the racists who don't have any empathy for these people.

Did you guys see Elliot made a Mr. Queen movie
