Bob,

I didn't know you were a globalist.

Reverend Bob, I'm confused. If citizenship sucks, why is it the American Energy Party?

"Surprising how so many people in this forum simply have no idea what they are talking about."

Citing Breitbart -- the exemplar of "fake news" -- automatically rules out wasting time responding to you further. Your primitive, caveman-like, thuggish avatar is quite apposite! Of course I also recall that you were the one who thought collapse and no-collapse metatheories of QM were the same thing, when of course they are the exact opposite.

Go play in traffic, you right-wing troll.

Typical, transparent tactic, Dave...attack the source of the information without addressing the information.

Bottom line: the 'dreamers' did, and still do, have 'pathways' to citizenship, Dave.

Now, you can go back to suckin' on your bourbon, you communitarian dupe.









And: the cat is dead or alive, not both, and, there's only one universe.

The word "American" merely signifies where the AEP started. It will, of course, be open to membership throughout the world in an adversarial relationship to non-AEP governments everywhere.

There is a reason why criminals are imprisoned and punished and not simply killed or deported. Who will absorb the debt otherwise?

Isn't paying to imprison more people just creating more debt?

You gotta pay the moral debt. You can't just commit a crime and not pay the price, just like you can't just get goods and services and not pay the price. I'm not saying moral debt is real, I'm saying there is a mechanism in society that is tabulating moral debt and needs to punish criminals for their crimes, hence, the idea of cheaply just deporting or stripping criminals of citizenship can't be done. I agree it might be a practical and logical solution too get rid of undesirable elements from a society, but the punishment of criminals in some way outlines the rightness of the values of a society, without suffering criminals suddenly there is no right and truth and justice and so on.

But a green card isn't a right to stay? It's just a right to work, sensible unless you want these people not to pay tax.

By defintion, a nation has an inside and an outside, it has a border, and -- absolutely -- a nation gets to decides who crosses that border and how they cross it.

You wanna abandon the nation model in favor of a borderless one, that's your choice, but we ain't there yet.

Till then, things are what they are, Bob.
