When people automatically start out bashing liberals or conservatives, they lose some credibility for whatever they post afterward, amirite?
@Jezebel Anything negative said about liberals is probably true.

It doesn't matter what you believe is true, it matters how you present your argument. If you start off with an insult, it's going to alienate anyone who doesn't automatically agree from actually reading your argument. They're going to assume you're close minded off the bat.

But if you start off with "contards/libtards don't know how idiotic they are" it's basically a post to bait people and such...

Stop with the nonsense. Anyone can say they're anyone on the internet. How they act is the most telling.

Yes. All I was saying was people should not generalize and/or bait people. All it makes is for flame posts. Sometimes you can have good intentions with a controversial post and still get the same results...but meh. I think intent matters still. haha

Blocking: if you can't even handle people or trolls online, you must not be faring well in real life.

How you act online doesn't always correlate with how you are in real life. Some people just don't to be annoyed by trolls when they go online. Honestly I just ignore, but some people get harassed.

What the actual f***

I think before we focus on illegal immigrants we need to make it easier for non-criminals to enter. Think of all the families running for their lives in Mexico from drug cartels only to find there is a hefty fee that they can't afford and several years of waiting. Why punish those just trying to survive? Make it a simple, affordable fee, and a simple process so they can become legal, pay taxes, learn English and be on their way to earning a living in our land of opportunity. As for those already here, have them do the same. If discovered to be illegal, offer them the same process. Why make them go back and be subject to the same violence they were fleeing from? If they refuse the simple process, then I do believe it's time for deportation. Once we have these in place, then is the time to crack down on borders in whatever way we can. What do you think?
@sunshineofthesoul Deport them, close the border and no one else comes over they are plagues on our society.

You're a plague on society. Your argument is based on generalizations of a whole group of people. That smacks of fear and hatred.

That's why I only fight them if I'm having fun. Once it crosses into "annoying" or "angry" realm, I'm out. A lesson I learned a few years back on Sodahead.

Good to see you too!

I am wondering what the hubbub is about PHAET this time? I've always been friends to them, but I try to be friends to everyone...and now my association with them is a problem? Because people are unregistered downvoting people? Maybe some people are downvoting those to make it look like PHAET and to spread animosity toward them, because this just doesn't seem like something they'd do. I guess I haven't been here long enough to know much else.

Good to know. Well, it was Transquesta.

@Explain how it is a ""fake" account.

Well let's see...an account made for the sole purpose of defaming the one who they claim to be...I'd say that's pretty fake.

Just barely decided to join the hubbub that is Amirite, but I remember you, Transquesta :)

Explain what you mean, since I don't know how this site works quite yet...
