I think we need one of these. Give the civilians a break from highjacked threads.




To start with I was settling in to watch a live feed of Fallout 76 beta gameplay yesterday when this commercial came up. I almost clicked out after five seconds because I don't care a lot for FOX News but got sucked in and I ended up watching it all.

I think from an economic perspective (though not a sociological one) it hits the nail on the head about the long-term consequences of illegal immigration, and I'd like to hear what anyone else WHO WATCHES THE VIDEO thinks ABOUT THIS VIDEO. Not the issue in general, but THIS VIDEO.

It's only about five minutes and it's fast-paced and surprised me several times with facts I had never heard in my life about Caesar Chavez, and of course President Clinton's SOTU speech in the mid-90s.

Sven, a left-leaning perspective, if you'd be so kind?

I hear ya, my thought was this way maybe we can contain it instead of having it be all over. Sort of the rationale for smoking areas in school, y'know? Shrug.

Don't be stupid be a smarty-come and join the Nazi Party!



Your opinion on Nazi's?
Well-I don't like them, myself.
Seem like folks with low esteem issues using bigotry to influnce idiots.

Dunno, David Bowie was as rich and talented and his teeth weren't taking home any prizes. Nah, I'm almost forty and I've never had a cavity and Jackson's teeth impress even me.

I'm missing 2 teeth in the front- (one is an Alfred E. tooth!) and 5 in the back!
But when I was in my 30's, my teeth were good!

On the internet people call English people with bad teeth the London Look. Now whether or not it's a tongue in cheek jab or casual stereotyping is up to you. As for MJ having perfect white teeth again it's probably teeth whitening products at work, since teeth themselves are supposed to have a little bit of yellow in them.
yeah no.
