Or you just need to get better at it. Funny though, since you brought up the language requirement in the first place and then made that response to it... seems like a really clumsy set up for a bad one liner if you didn't really mean any of it Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Here's a tip: if you want anyone to be able to figure out what your 'overall point' is, choose your words more carefully. At least carefully enough not to completely contradict yourself in the space of two posts. People might think you were more concerned with playing a game of 'gotcha' than stating a serious opinion.

So it's easier to become a citizen here than in Norway. Oh come on. Do you want to have a serious discussion or do you want to keep pretending to be an idiot? I know you're too smart to think that competency in language is the only requirement for citizenship in either country. So please, act like it Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The US economy added better-than-expected 250,000 jobs in October
jakee replied to airdvr's topic in Speakers Corner
Are they returning? But again, jobs were increasing under Obama at the same rate as under Trump. What is Trump doing to the jobs market that Obama wasn't? How many, and for how long? But you've got that backwards. It's supposed to be, he's done everything he said he would do - and on that score he's falling far, far short. To be honest though, even making the claim your way around is, quite frankly, crazy. He's done a heck of a lot of things he either didn't say he would do, or said he wouldn't do.

Which is a statement that applies to those giving the orders. (BTW, are you saying that the role of the US military is not to safeguard US citizens?) Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I think you just answered your own question Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Does that make it better? I would say that not being considered a person at all is worth less than being 3/5 of a person, just as being 3/5 of a person is worth less than being a whole person. So really, I'd agree that the 3/5 thing is a red herring, but only because it distracts from the fact that what the constitution says is actually much worse. Anyway, are you putting any of this effort towards figuring out what argument can be made about the 14th? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Oh yeah, I know those cynical bastards don't have a shred of honesty between them. I meant what am I doing in there? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Err, whut? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Speaking of which, you said you could make an argument about the 14th, but you haven't yet attempted it. Can you, or not? I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. I did... No, you didn't. You said the argument would involve a certain concept, but you haven't stated any part of what that argument would be. It's like claiming an argument could be made that the second doesn't protect gun ownership, then saying only that the argument would involve the concept that people shouldn't be allowed to have guns. Has any argument relevant to the 2nd amendment itself just been made? No, of course it hasn't. In the same way you have not made, nor attempted to make, any argument regarding how the 14th amendment could be limited from soli to sanguinis. If you can, I'd like to hear it. If you can't, just say so. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

And why do you think it hasn't been tested for 100 years? Maybe because it's one of the simplest, plainest bits of English in the whole text, and undeniably means what it says? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
Ok, so again, please try and make that argument. Y'know, bearing in mind the amendment clearly states jus soli and does not mention jus sanguinis... Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
There is an argument to be made for the first part of the amendment. "all persons being born or naturalized in the United States," read as a domiciled citizen - not as a tourist or illegal immigrant showing up to have a kid and, Ta Da!!! My kid is an American. Go on then, try and make that argument... Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That is flat wrong. The news media are subject to libel laws. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You have a rare gift for simplifying to the point of absurdity. Leaving aside the fact that I don't think anyone wants to advocate a strictly feudal military dictatorship - do you think the continuous social disturbances, peasant uprisings and attempted coup d'etats of the Edo period would qualify as 'stability' in modern society? Please, explain. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

To call it 'fallen' because it is imperfect means it was once perfect, and implies it could be perfect if it wasn't for us. That isn't true. But again, that's not all you're saying. You're saying that the person with cancer is sick, and because they're sick they deserve to die. Go try that out in a hospital and see how many people are insulted. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
No they don't. That's a barefaced lie. They provide Trump administration press releases, without rebuttal. They don't even qualify as a media outlet, they're a PR company. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
This is hilarious. You do realise that the majority of illegal immigrants into the USA are Mexicans, right? Do you not think that the reasons Mexicans want to leave Mexico could just be the same reasons Central American migrants don't want to stay in Mexico? That never once occurred to you? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

When did congregations of homeless people not exist? and You know you can’t get rid of them by simply not tolerating them, right? What is you proposal of what to do. So... you’re angry that liberals tolerate market forces? Ok, so again what would you propose the government does to artificially control the real estate market? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The DOD press release says nothing about MS13 or Soros funded 'thrill seekers'. Are you qualified to defend your own statements? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

To make it look like mail. FFS, no one said insane wannabe serial bombers had to be that bright Do you want to have an ideagasm?

So if and when it is found that the people who sent the bombs are far right wing Trump supporters, you will admit that Trump is evil? No, that does not compute in my mind. Individuals are individually responsible for their own behavior. If blame is to be placed, I would say it falls on BHO & HRC as they are the ones who instigated the divisiveness in the recent past. In that case, I blame you. You thrive on divisiveness, and want nothing more than to see the country split to the point of civil war. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Hi Chris. So you’re saying that President Donald Trump is ignorant, misinformed, and prone to speak out about things he only knows from the National Enquirer? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
so it seems you have prejudged the investigation! Good for you, not like that's anything new. Haven't you been pre-judging that Mueller will find nothing ever sinc the very beginning? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
