I agree with Trump 100% I believe that illegal immigration is a growing problem in our country and that we need to find a solution. Vote TRUMP!!!!! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain
And why do you believe this? This is not an argument for your opinion, it's simply an opinion. I don't like Hillary, but she's the lesser evil here. Trump's policies constantly change, not to mention they are racist, homophobic and (I'm assuming from your username you're a girl, so hopefully you should care about this) sexist. I believe he is a very greedy, ignorant man.
I believe what I believe because Trump is NOT a racist dang Hillary is a murderer and a lire, trump dosen't constantly change views... but Hillary does In an interview from 2008 Hillary states that we should stop illegal immigration by building a wall but now she is saying that we need to let everyone in...
"In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat," -Trump 2004
"Hillary's always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job" - Trump
In 1999, Trump said he was "very pro-choice"
Not to mention his huge flips on abortion for a few days after he initially said women should be punished for having abortions. Or his recent oddness with his immigration policy. I could go on.
If you're voting Trump because you think illegal immigration is a huge problem and Trump will fix it, as you said earlier, I have two questions for you.
1) Why do you think illegal immigration is such a huge problem?
2) Why/how do you think Trump with solve those problems?
1) if we have a lot of illegal immigrants here that means that they are getting free healthcare paid for by the tax payers if they are illegal that means they don't pay taxes which means we pay for them to live here but they don't put any money back into the system. We can NOT survive with that kind of money loss.
2)Increasing security and deporting more illegal immigrants.
if we have a lot of illegal immigrants here that means that they are getting free healthcare paid for by the tax payers if they are illegal that means they don't pay taxes which means we pay for them to live here but they don't put any money back into the system
Contrary to what you might believe, undocumented immigrants do pay taxes. Source. The Affordable Care Act also does not require governments to provide health care to these immigrants; all the states that do this are from state legislature alone. Voting for president won't affect that. Source. Also, they work, buy things, and do tons of other things to get money back into the system.
We can NOT survive with that kind of money loss.
Got any numbers on how much money is lost?
I found an interesting discussion on the topic, if you wanna read this article. It's a complicated issue, and I think that lays out the problems pretty well.
2)Increasing security and deporting more illegal immigrants.
Building a wall has a whole slew of issues associated with it. As much as it seems like a logical security thing, it has a lot of issues. Again, if you want more to check out, I found this article which lays stuff out pretty well.
And deportation? Do you honestly think that tearing apart families, sending people 'back' to homes that don't exist, and taking people out of the work force is what we need? It might be. But is it worth it?
While I think Hillary does have some issues (not the ones you're thinking of) I honestly think she's intelligent and hardworking. I don't think she lies all the time, or is completely disconnected from reality, or cares about nothing other than herself.
I think she's a little too hawkish/willing to go to war, and I do have some concerns about her ties to big money. But that is nothing in comparison to a candidate that reflects almost none of my views and who has no idea what it takes to run a country. Trump has proven himself to be impulsive, ignorant in the ways of leadership, and is appealing to his supports fear and ignorance rather than their intelligence and logic.
And Hillary represents a lot of my views. And I think she's intelligent, and most importantly, willing to compromise with those on the other side of the political spectrum. In our horribly divided political world, I think it is imperative we have leaders who can make compromises, or else nothing will ever be able to get done. I simply don't see Trump being that person.
One road leads to national bankruptcy, individual poverty, illegal immigrants overrunning the country with the inevitable increase in civil unrest. The other road leads to national disaster, the creation of a ''brother against brother'' society and a confrontational foreign policy accompanied by the ensuing risk of international conflict which that presents. Let's hope the nation can choose wisely.
Nahh, but joking aside, (i mean, if she will even live that long) the hillbilly would fuck America and the world. but especially the world, that's the bit I'm concerned about.
5 years ago, I was totally left.
2 years ago, I was left, but I realised that the right was on to something.
Now? Well, I'm an equal mixture of both I'd say. All these neo-social justice movements (neo-feminism, the "LGBT community" which literally shames me. I literally feel ashamed by these raging crybaby wannabe Liberace's, Christ, what an awful representation of LBGT people they are.... Not to mention areas of Black lives Matter etc) are just tumorous, but that doesn't mean I don't care for things like the national health service or trades unions.
Still, trump has more appeal than Hillary. Hillary's flaws are wanting to blow up the world, and being down-key racist. Trump is overtly racist and more or less, a bully. But at least he has other plans other than "Military! Israel! Conquer the Middle east! Fuck Putin!" I mean, could she be at least a little original?
So Trump, Giuliani, Milo and that lot have my vote. Even if they are assholes :)
Take youtube for example. Majority of gay youtubers you can think of, make their video content/ their whole channel's deal about them being gay. the Finebro's for example,are Jewish. Their videos however, don't reflect that. They don't make a big deal about being Jewish, and why should they.
Most gay youtubers however, whether it's "top 5 gay things to do" or another of the coming out videos, it's all; gay-centric. Like,shit I'm arguing this really poorly but I can't be arsed to delete what I've written. The LBGT community makes a big deal about them being LGBT in the hope that people will look at them in a more normal light. But by constantly and blatantly reminding everyone of this one character trait, they make people think "Ok we get it,jeez, no need to go on about it". I mean, being gay is great and all, but why do you have to make that your one defining characteristic? just annoying. And to think that these people who are doing harm to LGBT people by stereotyping themselves,claim to be standing up for them, and representing them.. Bad bad.
Yes bad grammar and whatnot but I can't be bothered to go back and check it, the gist ofmy argument should be clear enough.
Well, I believe a majority of those channels are channels that are devoted to gay education. And I don't think there's any problem with having a channel devoted to a part of your personality. There absolutely are channels like that for people of all creeds. There are channels just about Judaism, or Christianity, or Asian-American culture, or most anything else you can think of. And while you might often be coming across these 'gay-centric' channels, if you think it is representative of all gay content creators on YouTube, you simply aren't looking.
Take Connor Franta. He's an openly gay YouTuber, but as far as I know, he has exactly two videos devoted to only gay topics: His coming out video, and a resist to his coming out video a year later.
Of course, there are individuals who are loud, or try to represent the community by doing nothing but fulfill stereotypes and discuss nothing but homosexuality, but that is absolutely their right, and they certainly aren't the only voices out there.
And to this:
"Ok we get it,jeez, no need to go on about it". I mean, being gay is great and all, but why do you have to make that your one defining characteristic?
People do that because for so long in our country's history, so many gay people across the country have had no gay icons, no one telling them it's ok to be gay, and no window into gay life. Many of these you tubers grew up in families that were unaccepting, or around people who told them they were wrong. Most are working to simply get the content out there so it can reach those people in search of a community.
I get that in countries such as Somalia or Saudi Arabia, then yes it is necessary. And I quite like Connor Franta as it happens. but that's the point,he's not overt about his sexuality. there are some people who use their sexuality to define themselves by, which is totally unnecessary. the worst that would happen in a country like the UK is someone would call you a batty boy, or would pull your shorts down in the changing rooms and push you over. Know what you do to that, tell them to piss off and sock'em one. It's not just a gay problem, being called abusive words.
I don't deny that LGBT people have it harder than some others, but by going around pointing out your differences instead of just saying "this is who I am, deal with it lol", you only drawn more attention to your differences! I should know :O
My problem isn't with LGBT people, it's with the LGBT 'community'.
This shit.... just,any one of his videos.Take his opening video. gay guys kissing,like,great. I mean,it's no secret couples kiss. WHY MAKE A COMPILATION VIDEO OF IT THO? Who want's to see that,gay or straight..it's just flaunting your sexuality! and the banner? "Everytime you don't subscribe a gay baby turns straight" like..I'm not even going to comment. This isn't a radical example either,there are plenty of this kinda channel out there.
This is why the LGBT community shames me! Because I don't want to be part of a community that says "Hey,you don't like something,I'm going to RAM IT DOWN YOUR THROOOAT". I would get if this was a response video to some homophobic guy, but just as it is? Eck.
I swear to god I'll flip if you call me homophobic by the way XD XD
Mine is the same argument of any woman who opposes the neo-feminism style arguments such as "put all men in jail, castrate all men, all men are pigs, children shouldn't have fathers, they don't need a rape instructor, a penis is a rape device" etc..
Now that Trump has won.Hillary supporters are out here rioting,setting American flags on fire,beating and even killing Trump supporters. And they say Trump supporters are violent.
Well, let's see. If people don't vote for Hillary, they have proven the intelligence of the American People, and will thus be allowed to live a little while longer.
However, if the people of America do vote for her, she will initiate Nuclear War (ofc) and we will mostly be wiped off the face of the planet. Which will have been deserved, having been stupid enough to vote for her :)
So whatever outcome there is, will be the right one!
All we need is a buddy of Putin in office and we won't NEED a nuclear war! He'll show "The Art of the Deal" and sell U.S. to him for a profit! That's all he knows!
I don't watch FOX News as a habit, just check it out frequently. If I DID watch it I would probably give them control of my mind, eventually, and really believe most of the "Trumped-up" crap they spread. I would rather think for myself, thank you, and, letting the fog clear after watching the FOX, I see little of substance, lots of rhetoric. Hillary has done MUCH for this country, Trump has done for HIMSELF.
I went to Chicago in the late fifties. It was a MESS, Mayor Daley wasn't a totally upstanding politician, to be sure. I returned to Chicago in the early 70's, What a difference he made! More of the case against HIM was true but he did a LOT of good. Much less of the case against Hillary is true and SHE will do a great job .... if we can reduce the OBSTRUCTION (read: conservatism), in Washington!
I hate fox news as much as the next sandal-wearing man. But do you really think someone who wants to go to war with the worlds most powerful military is better than someone who wants to cooperate with it?
Don't bullshit me by pretending America's main foreign policy interest ISN'T war,it always has been and will likely continue to be until it's collapse.
Already as secretary of state, Clinton has pushed and pushed for war in the middle east, and her pushing has been largely successful.
So, it's already decided, that she as president will wan't to continue the development of America's military, and arms industry.
There are plenty of wars to be had. The most costly would indeed be an eventual war with Russia. So is it just a coincidence that she has expressed a desire to extend NATO borders around Russia, and is continuing to demonise/threaten Vladimir Putin? Of all the countries to talk about,of all the leaders to challenge,it doesn't strike you as alarming that she should choose him as her target? Come on,stop lying to yourself and everyone else.
