Shhh … You'll interfere with our Great American Fantasy. The American fantasy is the greatest most magnificent national fantasy in the history of the world. What do you have to gain by seeking to destroy it? Here's the thing: it's a fantasy, not real. The only risks to freedom faced by America in the last 75 years or so has come from within. The military hasn't been called on to defend America's freedom, except in such cases of state national guards being activated to enforce desegregation, and similar attacks on freedom from conservatives. It doesn't fit the national fantasy, but the real heroes defending American freedoms on the front lines are teachers, artists, defense attorneys, librarians, and even sports stars like Colin Kaepernick. And more often than not, it's subgroups of conservatives from which the attacks originate. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Most any time you increase required duties, labor costs increase. That's just basic economics. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I said you were using faulty logic. No one has provided enough specific relevant information regarding the hypothetical situations to determine if you are wrong. No one had provided any scenario that demonstrates background check requirements to be necessarily unenforceable. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I guess when you can’t go after the message, go after the messenger. I'm just pointing that your posts rest on faulty logic. It's tough to have a discussion with someone who doesn't understand basic logic. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Do you really believe a background check would not leave a digital/paper trail? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Logic? Unfortunately, you've avoided using any of that in this discussion. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

And not enforceable is not equal to not being enforced. That's what I said. I'm glad you finally agree. Now you can stop perpetuating that "It's unenforceable!" nonsense. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Once again, your logic is flawed. Not being enforced is not equal to unenforceable, no matter how many times you make the dubious claim. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Are you in the habit of taking something you wrote and using it as someone else's quote? Nope, not in the habit, but I wrote my post too quickly and proofread poorly in this case, keeping an incorrect excerpt. Apologies, and thanks for the catch. I've replaced the incorrect quote with the passage from your post that I intended to quote above in this post. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Why? Everyone benefits from international trade.You can get high quality stuff from China, or you can get junk, or pretty much anything in-between, just like from US manufacturers. Not very fast, since US businesses would effectively without computers, placing them at a serious handicap. You clearly don't understand how business works. Profits are rarely used to subsidize jobs. Labor is much more frequently used to help create the profit to begin with. Further, I think you'll find that Apple provide quite a lot of jobs, both directly and indirectly. I'm sure that figure has only increased in the intervening six years. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Nowhere in the thread did I take that position. I tried to explain but to no avail. JoeWeber's seems a reasonable interpretation of your position, as you've presented it. If that's not the message you intended to send, consider restricting yourself to words and phrases that have actual, concrete meaning instead of meaningless fluff like "linear ego".

13/88 is a pretty strange fraction to use.. I can't think of any reason a person could arrive at those numbers without specifically wanting to use the number 88. What do you think? Rates are nearly always provided as some flavor of x/(10^n). One wouldn't use other integers in the denominator in less those integers carry a special significance. For example, here, if they had received a total of 88 asylum requests and 13 were granted asylum, then 13/88 might be more appropriate than 14.8%. That's clearly not the case here, since 13 is used as an upper bound, not an exact count. As some who works with data and data analysis as a primary component of my job, I'd say one is, at best, kidding themselves if they claim it's a coincidence. Lots of people have their heads stuck that deep in the sand these days, though. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big open mouthed kiss, then says she'll see him later and walks away. The wife glares at her husband and says, "Who was that?" "Oh," replies the husband, "she's my mistress." "Well, that's the last straw," says the wife. "I've had enough, I want a divorce!" "I can understand that," replies her husband, "but remember, if we get a divorce it will mean no more shopping trips to Paris, no more wintering in Barbados, no more summers in Tuscany, no more Jaguar in the garage and no more yacht club. But the decision is yours." Just then, a mutual friend enters the restaurant with a gorgeous woman on his arm. "Who's that woman with Dave?" asks the wife. "That's his mistress," says her husband. "Ours is prettier," she replies. "Do you think I really give a damn that you'll be giving all that up, asshole?" Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I think that's something that HRC supporters don't understand. I honestly don't believe that. I believe that she has a personal agenda and the country comes a far second. No doubt she spent her career serving her country benevolently just as a cover for her ulterior motives. You should check out the recent post on biases. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!
