Depends on what you mean by "hire."
Democrats use them for political gain, votes, etc. etc. etc.

There was a time when I would have agreed with you, but after seeing what's become of the Left-Wing and the Democratic Party, I have vowed to vote for Republicans for as long as it makes Democrats weep blood for them to win.flashback wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 2:23 am You have the vote Republican no matter what and the vote Dem no matter what. I keep telling my 36-year-old son you have to find a way down the middle, fuck the left and right-wing bullshit. There are answers to problems. It starts when you look at that man in the mirror and start by changing that person.
Lot of farmers and business owners voting blue, eh? That makes sense. There wouldn't be a reason for them to come here if they couldn't find work, and the vast majority of them send their money home and eventually return home as well, so closing the border would actual be a bad idea.
I assume you're talking about the intros, which are based on chords / melodies from 'Mother' - which is nothing like 'The Narrow Way'.ZiggyZipgun wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 4:21 pm Anyone ever notice how similar the melody, harmonies, and chord progressions of "The Show Must Go On" and "Waiting for the Worms" are to "The Narrow Way, Part 3"?
The USA does have several policies that hold down minorities, as well as a raging police brutality problem. These I don't think can be disputed much. You are right that on the surface the Democrats wanting to bring more people into the country who could be victimised by these systems does look hypocritical. In terms of the lawmakers and the politicians, you're absolutely right. However in terms of the people I know the feeling is more that two things can be true at once - immigration is good, and the USA still has a long way to go in terms of civil rights. The hope is to make a better country for people to move into. Moreover many of the people that the Democrats are referring to are refugees, who are running from countries far worse than the USA in terms of civil liberties.
1. The policies which hold down minorites are, more often than not (Biden and Harris included in this,) written by Leftists/Democrats. As for the Police Brutality problem, stop drinking the Kool-Aid, mate. The Left screeched for body cams on cops until they got them and the video footage didn't support the narrative. Body cams are now gone.theaussiefloydian wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:35 pm

4. That's my two cents on that.
1. I won't disagree with you about Biden and Harris. I dislike them as much as anyone else, including my friends who are further left than I. And on the topic of police brutality, I neither have the time nor the arsenal of sources to fully discuss that, but I have been assured that it is a problem. It isn't unique to the USA either, I will admit - I won't stand here and act as if any country I've lived in has any moral high ground. Up here in Canada Indigenous people are treated not very well by police, leading to a disproportionate number of missing Indigenous women not being properly investigated for example. And even if it were not an issue, I still think it kind of absurd that police training in the USA is a matter of weeks or months. Surely it should be longer?mosespa wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:42 pm 1.

2. Obviously, I disagree. As can anyone who actually lives in the States and doesn't buy into whatever CNN and MSNBC spew forth in the name of fear-mongering and ratings.
3. But the people that you know give their support and votes to the politicians that you agree are problematic. My best friend "leans left" (to use his term,) and I remind him regularly that he is supporting these people who are doing things that even he thinks is shady. If one keeps voting for these people, then one is throwing their tacit agreement with the problems, whether or not they SAY that they condone them. Their vote is all the condoning one needs.
