Illinois' "Let them rest in peace act" signed into law.

So, I am assuming that you were in favour of postponing or changing locations of the NRA meeting after the shootings in Columbine? I think that lists pretty high on my list of rude assholes. -
WHOOOSHHH again

Who is they?

Funny earlier in this thread a conservative "stood up" with great pride to show us all GREAT news...the budget deficit was going to be only $300 billion. So a couple of years ago a president was bad for running a $69 billion deficit, but now the president is hailed for having only a $300 billion deficit? What a fucking joke.

Figures, their Utopian ideas are a bit of a joke.

Read again, that is not what I wrote. -

In all fairness, the fact that those people are dead and the plane is gone is in no way proof that the plane actually crashed into the pentagon. Now, I am not buying the conspiracy theory. But this post, howveer emotion provoking it is, really provides no proof. -
Great, another ASSumption, that's three who made ASSes of themselves.

Benefitting from a statement has nothing to do with introspection. Here is some introspection for you....I am not here to win arguments. From that follows that I don't care if I could benefit from it. I know they are very tough concepts to grasp....
-
Didn't you earlier say that the NSA was right to block an investigation cause they did nothing illegal? And now you are saying if something illegal happened it will come out? Those two statements don't really go so well together. Clearly there are many questions that are left unanswered. Can you tell me what would be so wrong about this going to court so it can be decided on? I won't get into your media conspiracy theory, but you may want to switch sides in the pentagon thread.

So is posting a story and heralding it as great news, when really all it says is that you are adding less to a massive debt than expected.
-
Let's start with your ability to read. Who made the requests? Who is authorized to make those requests according to the law that was posted?
-
I don't really care if I could benefit from it or not. It was a lame attack based on assumptions....but it gave the resident followers something to respond to I guess...
-
I'm sorry. Could you kindly point out where I said Canadians do not have the same problem? Time to get off your high horse and stop making assumptions about things you have absolutely no clue about.
-
Excellent, that just means you are adding less to your massive debt than expected. You are right, that is great news....
-
Well, it is the American way to just finance everything and claim bankruptcy when you can't make the payments anymore.....
-
Does that mean they can make a mass request for millions of names and numbers, or does it have to be individual requests? What is the authorized investigation? Does the criteria change for a mass request like this? And did the request come through the FBI or through the NSA? Again, many questions that really should be settled in a courtroom, but I guess many of you just blindly follow your president when he says: Trust me everything is okay. I mean, his track record has been really good, he has never been wrong before....
-
Why would you say that? This program has absolutely no bearing on me nor does it affect me in any way. I am not arguing this based on my personal opinion, but your immediate assumption of such certainly makes me wonder if you are. I didn't say anything about rushing. Once again you are making things up. I see no reason why it should be blocked eitehr though. If it isn't a big deal, then let it go through court and voila, everything is settled. I am surprised that many of you don't seem to care that the NSA can effectively block any investigation, which is exactly what is happening here.
-
great so where is all that money coming from? My guess is a large share of it is being borrowed....
-
You are kidding right? You are basing the legality of this program on a SCOTUS ruling on one case in which data was gathered on one person in a ruling from 1979? Now we fast forward almost 30 years. A federal agency is going through 100's of millions of calls and your position is that it is legal based on that ruling? I agree, the principle is relatively similar. But technological advances and the magnitude of the program certainly alter the case significantly from your 1979 SCOTUS ruling. Wouldn't you say that it is at least it should be tested in court to see if the courts agree that it is or isn't significantly different? Thoese are your checks and balances in place. Those checks and balances fail completely when the entity that is being investigated has the power to completely block the investigators. This case should go to court to get a ruling on the constitutionality of the program. It only makes sense.
-
Why not just keep the employed ones and give them a guest worker visa? WOuld prevent some major hiccups in your economy.
-
Different things. You are mostly talking about future illegals. I was talking about current illegals. I agree that you want control of your borders and who enters your country. That is one issue. Secondly there are illegals currently in the US. Of those a fair share actually work. from the numbers taken above, it looks like you have a problem with filling those jobs. I.e. if you kick them all out today, your economy would take a huge hit, since there aren't enough human resources to take over. Yes, I understand that the sudden demand for labour is going to increase wages, possibly enticing some to enter the labour force again. But do you really think that would happen in enough quantity to fill all the jobs left behind? They aren't the most sought after jobs, no matter what wage.
-
If that is truly the case, then just simply kicking out the illegals would pose an incredible problem. If that rate truly relates back to 0% and we estimate on the low end that only 500,000 illegals are employed in the US.....who is going to take those 500,000 jobs? If those numbers are correct, then kicking out the illegals would be one of the worst options.

Geography and infrastructure...plus history doesn't pay that well.

Sorry, should have been more specific. How many LEGAL people are looking for a job?
