We should stop propping up and defending unpopular governments, dictators and regimes with financial aid and military assistance. Just as we need to let failing businesses fail, we need to do the same with foreign governments.
If need be. Remember though, I'm not a "boots on the ground" kinda guy.
That goes against the point of it being open... But I agree we need the infrastructure and organization in place to handle the load because nearly 1/4 of the worlds population would show up at our door. As for worrying about becoming a 3rd world nation... Exactly where do you think our ever expanding Welfare State is taking us?
Let me try to hit you between the eyes on this one....
Is there really a scientific way to determine when life ends?
Before you determine that the life is gone... must you also proove that the soul is gone, etc. etc.?
Besides, I stated they should focus on when that life becomes an individual.
A sperm is alive, an egg is alive... Disagree?
they both have the exact same DNA as the parent they came from... Disagree?
Once they combine, its scientifically indisputable that its not only still alive but also an unique individual with DNA distinct from that of both parents.
Everything else is irrelevent.
As I said... ALL taxes, direct and indirect, should be rolled into a sales tax so that the only way to raise any taxes is through raising that one direct tax... no more hiding tax burdens by passing indirect taxes or targeting specific groups through direct taxes.
