I don't think I have a problem with government facilities for homeless. Why would that be a problem?

Beowulfsfriend replies on Sep 10, 2019:

@jerry99 You would. Fine. Have you walked among the homeless? Have you really talked to them? Spent even one night in a homeless shelter? You might change your mind. Oh, and yes, I have. It still doesn't give me full insight as each person is facing an individual problem, be it economics, hard luck, addictions, fear, mental health. Most don't trust the government; many don't trust most people.

I’ll put this in other groups. I’m probably preaching to the choir here 🙄

@Sgt_Spanky @Sgt_Spanky See above. Someone accused Cutiebeauty of being a troll, at level 9 no less, for using a fake photo. It has gone way out of hand. I don't, personally, see any need to question someone's picture or avatar. If I hadn't done this on my phone, I may have used a warrior avatar myself. I think at our levels we have usually ferreted out spammers early enough - not to say we shouldn't keep at it. As I said - it got out of hand.

How can you be allowed to fight for this country without being a citizen? So the gov used him and now is disavowing him. FTS!

Beowulfsfriend replies on Sep 3, 2019:

It has been allowable for a long time to serve as a non citizen. When I served late 70's early 80's, it was also a means toward getting citizenship. In the Navy a large number of those who did the Mess (food prep) and laundry and supply were from the Philippines since you seldom needed even a lower clearance. And some served in my spaces - the secret parts at least, not the ts. Had a very good Jamaican friend who fixed computers. Back then you could keep your green card after your time for a linger period to either go to school (with the gi bill) or find a job. For those who fought in war zones, they are eligible for medical aid - how can one justify denying that right, especially if wounded. Only an uncaring bigot can find justification.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Aug 28, 2019:

@RobertMartin that is the point. Until you offer viable means to photograph everyone eligible, then all you are doing is supporting suppression of the vote. And as others have pointed out, voter fraud at the polls isn't even a blip on the radar. It is contrived news. Why not make ection day a holiday? Why not an election week - encourage more people to vote personally and not by mail? Or, maybe you would prefer only land owners vote; a poll tax, or a citizenship test (actually that might be fun as few trumpies would pass). All of those have been used in the past to repress voting.

The War Was Won Before Hiroshima—And the Generals Who Dropped the Bomb Knew It | The Nation

I've long suspected that the official rationale for nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki was bullshit.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Aug 11, 2019:

Since the Russians had a deal with FDR to join the war so many days after the end of the European War, it is odd that we dropped the bombs days before the Russians declared war. And of course most Americans believe the misinformation that the Russians declared war because of the bombs.

I also wondered about that. The plates being able to do so much doesn't mean the courts will allow it to happen. The other thing to consider is that driving is considered a privilege and not a right.

There is a need in some places more than others. There are also places where they leave the bodies out in the "field" for forensics experts to examine - those places have a long waiting list actually.

When a site can be specifically connected to terrorism and is unwilling to get rid of those connections, it should be shut down. To allow it to continue is carrying "free speech" to the point of idiocy, like allowing people to shout "fire" in a crowded venue when there is no fire.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Aug 5, 2019:

Not sure the legalities and what is needed in court. To close a site outside of the U.S. is easy - I've seen some after being shut down as the government puts up a big US seal and says something about bagged and closed.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Aug 4, 2019:

Common sense is sadly waning. Try laws like Finland where their population as a percentage holds a fair number of guns from childhood to the grave. They have polar bears and Russian Bears next door. Gun ownership is nearly expected, AFTER training and background checks. They have fewer handguns and no assault rifles. And responsibility of ownership, something that left the US years ago. I've suggested going back to 60's gun laws, when if someone got shot someone better have a damn good reason, and no such thing as unpunished tragic accidents. Guns were easier to get then - but no assault weapons seems to be a deal breaker.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Aug 1, 2019:

@St-Sinner Yes - and that idea of asking at the country of origin does not comply with international law. We then need pull ourselves out of international treaties and not expect other countries to follow those rules to which they have signed. Time to ship all the "dry footed" Cubans home, don't you agree? Time to look at all those who lied on their forms, so as to revoke their citizenship - by the way, Melanie Trump lied (well documented that she was working without permission). Should we make it US policy to no linger uphold world agreements we have signed?

@St-Sinner Fine. I'm just defining illegal to you - AND, those coming to the border crossings AREN'T illegals. They can be told no, but they are NOT illegal by showing up and asking. So, the politics of calling them illegal is bullshit. Unless you want to go all North Korea like so many MAGA's - until then follow the LAW - dont just spout your portion of it. Or, break international law, to which we have signed onto and want others to follow.
