Maybe Trump has some long game in play with Mexico. I can see both sides of that one. He really has done the country a huge favor by uniting them against him. I'm feeling a little crazy typing this, but it could work out well for everyone. Let's face it, Mexico has had a lot of chances to get their act together and one of the biggest problems has been, in my long consideration of their problems, kissing US ass. They come up with a sensible social policy and the US objects for completely selfish reasons, and they cave. I've watched this repeatedly in disbelief, and I don't see it happening again any time soon.

On the other hand, maybe he's just spouting off whatever comes into his head. Surely there's someone in the history of international relations who was known for this, whom we can use for comparison.

On the gripping hand, the experts I've heard who have looked at the available information have called it a disaster and said that if diplomatic relations with a resurgent Russia require a PhD, then diplomatic relations with a close friend and neighbor like Mexico require a High School diploma. Let's hope he's a fast learner, the absolute fastest, with the best words and brain.

@adifferentname - nice try with your hyperfocus on the unimportant and irrelevant. If you thought that dissecting every line I wrote would make you the victor, vis a vis larghesse, guess again. You're on an autistic site. We can smell bullsh*t from a mile away.

And stop replying to my posts. You're wasting your f*cking time trying to sway me. My beliefs are in stone, as I'm sure yours are.

After Trump got elected, I thought "maybe this guy won't be so bad after all", and now only a few days into his term, he's already proven to be a s**t president. I used to complain about Congress interfering with Obama's plans, but now I'm hoping they do the same for Trump. f**k Trump's BS.

I was "hyperfocusing" on the unimportant and irrelevant by dissecting every single line you wrote? If you want to characterise your entire post as irrelevant, you'll get no argument from me.

Amazing rebuttal. You suggest autistic people share a superpower to detect "bullsh*t" yet have failed to respond to a single point I've made. Maybe you're right. My autism-sense is tingling!

If you don't want illicit replies, don't post. If you don't want to illicit replies from me specifically, certainly don't address me directly and claim my point by point rejection of your arguments is "bullsh*t".

What gives you the impression I have any desire to do so? I respond to ideas I disagree with for the sake of my mind, not because I care about changing yours. If you find conflicting ideas so difficult to deal with, feel free to ignore my posts.

Kindly refrain from projecting your intractability onto me. Your inability to sway me with empty rhetoric demonstrates only that your arguments lack potency.

I also suggest you refrain from attempting to dictate who should or should not address whom on this board. If you want an echo chamber, you can always log off and meditate.

The first part is completely unhelpful, and as hilarious as it is unhelpful.

Regarding the second part, what would be the fun in not replying to each other's posts? I feel the same way when I read someone claiming they will never reply again. Really? You feel confident that you won't regret that choice when you see a perfect, even moist, opening?

@adifferentname - You don't impress me. As a matter of fact, you suck. Your arguments mean nothing because there is NOTHING to justify in them. You just have a way of attempting to refute arguments by making your opponent seem unintelligible. I AM NOT FOOLED. Go the F*ck away!! !

Your words are clever; I'll give you that. But not so clever I can't see through it, you pr*ck!

It isn't about trying to sway you. It's about him trying to make himself feel superior. That's what all this f*****g BS is about.

Or you can ignore my suggestion and continue to address me, only this time resorting to immature personal attacks. If you were unintelligible, I'd have nothing to respond to. Thankfully, it's all too clear how little respect you have for me or for the rules by which we all agree to communicate on here.

To my knowledge, there is no "redrobin62 doesn't find this poster impressive" clause. Perhaps it's a recent addition?

I again invite you to step away from the internet and spend some time in meditation. If conversation with me is so triggering for you, I shudder to think how much trouble you must have with the rest of the internet.

The underlined section stems entirely from your own mind and, as such, reflects only on the poster. It's flattering that you've taken an interest in my psychological health, but let me assure you that I have literally no need of an armchair diagnostician.

Sometimes people are gonna dislike you on this forum and give this treatment. Wilburforce did it to many people myself included we might as well leave it. This seems to be a dispute between two people that are upset not one person doing something to another.

If everyone started name calling when they got frustrated the site wouldn't function.
I get what you are saying but it looks like from some other posts that you are doing it particularly to this guy. Sorry if I am wrong.

I'm not an authority figure based on my age or anything else. I just like a good argument.
I think I will speak on this because it links up with a point I want to make. Androbot sometimes when you argue you seem to be advocating for positions that can't really be defended like "Child infanticide" you can't really defend stuff like that since its one of those issues where you should just have to realize its bad and not challenge it. If you carry on doing that your really gonna take people aback and anger them. Maybe you should stop.

Does anyone blithely argue for an inflammatory position without a reasonable grasp of it, having any intent other than to anger people?

Well, infanticide is the farthest thing from my mind right now; thanks for taking me there. It's kind of a weird place for this argument to pop up, but I'll make it. I think we can all agree that infanticide is a sad act and to be avoided, but under certain circumstances it may be the ethical decision. Now I am going to refrain from pursuing this argument further unless someone wants to start another thread because it is disturbing and God knows there's enough going on in the world right now.
I'm sorry if a scare you, but my mind is a scary place.

Specifically with that intent? I would hope not, but we've had our share of trolls here over the years.

I don't think it's appropriate to raise something like that absent context. I can think of a number of arguments in support of infanticide, given the right circumstances.

You're missing the point it violates someone's right to life. Its not rocket science. Your mostly not irrational and a pretty unique individual at that but sometimes honestly I don't get what ideas your propping up and others may not either.

I don't necessarily want to argue it I will PM you about it if it will accomplish something. But sometimes matters like this are too serious to be disputed.
