Why do you have the right to force someone to provide you a service when they find it objectionable? And why, when there are other businesses available, would you want to force someone to do business with you other than to stir up shit.

So there for the state can force a person to use their talents for something they may have objections against. 

So you’re talking about vigulanties. That what you call people who act like the police without the authority afforded a law enforcement official.

So you’re saying that the reason behind enforcing a law is more important than actually enforcing it?

1. it is common for laws to not be enforced. - this is absolutely not true, yes there are specific instances of specific laws not being enforced by this is by far the exception to the rule.

10000% agree!

I 100% agree with you, children have no place paying for the crimes of their parents. This was addressed with DACA, after that I think that if you come together you should leave together.

Yeah sure, I’ll give you that I ran through spellcheck a little too fast. I’ve also go a job that takes a higher priority than correcting you.

Very true, but the idea that one of your rights could be taken away for life over a misdemeanor doesn’t sit well with a lot of people. Also, assholes (of both genders) who beat their SOs deserve to spend more than a token stint in prison.

“don’t even get me started on what it says that you wrote “boarders”” As that is what this thread is about it seems like your comment is fairly useless.

Honestly, I haven’t put too much thought into it. But one only has to glance at the current configuration to know that its broken. In my view it seems like there’s been a shift from trying to bring in the best of the best in a given field or position towards cheap labor in many different areas.

Yes, because we dont let just anyone come into our country whenever they want. They have to pass through a checkpoint and have valid paperwork.

We don’t deport citizens who commit crimes because they are in fact CITIZENS and they have certain rights that non-citizens do not. We’re a nation of laws and boarders, and while I agree that our immigration system needs to be fixed, if you come here illegally then you are in fact committing a crime.

I’m almost always against new “common sense” gun control, but I can get behind this. Change the laws to make domestic abuse a felony and I think it could be a real way forward that all sides could agree on

The “gun lobby” receives the vast majority of its funding from citizens who what to have their voices heard. If you look at the numbers you’ll see that companies who sell firearms commercially are running on very thin margins.

Actually I’m responding directly to a line you posted “If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear.” where you imply that you’re ok with things like warrant-less searches. I mean if you’ve got nothing to hide you shouldn’t have any problem with the authorities going through your stuff unannounced right?…

Yeah it might be a little on the dramatic side, but lets look at the idea behind your comment of“ If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear”.

The products used for that expressed right, nice try. Cali and a few other states already tried it and it was struck down.

They weren’t illegal when they were purchased. and yes, people turned them in because they were told that if they didn’t they’d be arested and sent to jail. That is forcefully disarming a populace. I wouldn’t say that they “participated” because they are more intelligent, its because they had no choice. But go ahead…

“If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear.” I’m sure the jews back in 1930's Germany might have a different take on that.
