    Rich give a lot of money and expect a lot of thanks for it. I guess they'll get the thanks so they'll feel encouraged to give again, but it doesn't mean much unless it hurts. That's when you know you've given enough.

    It's true our legal immigration system is unreasonably slow. I'm not sure of the reason for that but someone who has power should speed it up.

    When you say shit like this with your Avatar Pirate hat, it gives me a chuckle.
    The last Pirate I saw, Was bellicose maximum after looking in the ransom Sack. We had given him a fancy new pursers leather bag, stuffed with paper and $10 bucks on top.
    The fool bellowed out, The Kaffir is worth more!

    Some say, his loud mouth killed him.
    I sort of think it was, dim wit and slow hand.

    As a nation we're a few hundred years old...China...15 thousand years old...India...even older....time is catching up with the New World and it is going to age just like the rest of the planet...buckle up.....for those who want to curb the population...stop making babies! For those who want to be charitable...one could adopt a child

    We tried to adopt. We even paid Holt a sizeable amount. But alas, my job had me moving around too much. Now, we give to our Church. Use to give to United Way but now it's the Church since we're both retired.

    @MarAzul I just get back from a fun weekend camping and I see you intentionally misspeak about my father again.

    No I'm not emotional.

    I'm going to state it to you for the last fucking time. My father came to this country legally. You seem to really go out of your way to ignore that. Please stop. It's insulting to a great man that I respect and love dearly.

    Also for what I am sure will not be the last time, I AM AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. I have stated that many times also. I have shared the story of my father coming to this country LEGALLY and serving in the US military as an example of a person immigrating in this country the correct way. It would make no sense for me to share his story if he had come to this country illegally.

    >>> No, I did not ignore that. I you have clarified.

    >>>I have no need to insult the great man, nor did I intend to do so. Not long ago, I told you I would like to meet him.

    >>> Yes you have, several times as I recall but I did not know the details. Thus my post about Hank Drews, a man I worked with where his journey here seems very much like your fathers.

    That's exactly why I've got Marzy on ignore. I think he's got a good heart but he gets all twisted at times. He gets so twisted that I have to put him on Ignore.

    Your story about your dad is simply awesome and uplifting. I think he provides inspiration for all of us (or should provide inspiration for all of us if all of us would open our hearts and minds).

    Thanks again, Sly, for your depiction of your father. Now, I have to meet him. Let's do dinner on me. Don't forget your sweetheart and mom.

    It's like the Three Stooges took over the White House. People are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Everybody looks to the next tweet for answers and those answers are incoherent.
    Edit: Well, not totally incoherent. We know he thinks of undocumented folks as vermin infesting our country. They're bringing rapists, drug dealers, thieves, murderers. Also, we know he doesn't like Africans because they come from "shit hole countries". He doesn't like Muslims. He doesn't like people who were captured as prisoners of war. He doesn't approve of anyone not from Norway. However, if you are a WASP then you can do whatever you want to women such as grabbing them by the pussy or cheating on your wife so long as you hush up your Piece of A... with some hush money. You should get a medal for not getting VD. In fact, why not buy a Purple Heart? That's one way to get one.
