RE: what should america do about all of the child immigrants

your comprehension skills probably haven't failed you. my writing skills do suck sometimes but I did not intended to be inconsistent on this thread's topic.

RE: what should america do about all of the child immigrants

I concur with your thoughts regarding the children from Central America, but kind of stumbled as I assessed you point of 'asses the right size'

Actually, I am somewhat surprised to read some of the cold and selfish opinions shared in this thread. The News Media daily shows Americans frustrated here thinking all these desperate children from Central America crossing the border illegally pose some sort of threat to our security or economic stability.

What is happening to us in America? Our culture seems to have evolved to where we can't tolerate anything that even just seemingly appears to upset the cart? Even when we have, to some extent, created and allowed this crisis situation to escalate.

We've taken in millions of refuges from countries we intended to help but devastated them instead, and yet, we can't help these children when our sub-culture (drugs) fueled the very corruption driving them from their country. Why don't we acknowledge the culpability here?

In the name of democracy we have bombed the crap out of other countries, yet our government wants to turn it's back on these children? What kind of country are we really becoming?

We can meet these challenges if we want to.

RE: what should america do about all of the child immigrants

I agree with your opinions and the USA is not the only country these children and adults from Central America are seeking out because of current and past economic as well as corrupt conditions where they were born.

In addition to these forces pushing them here, our government created a condition where their parents already living here are paying traffickers $6k to $7k to bring their child over the boarder to eventually be reunited.

Unbelievable! But then I think you're not the type to make up stories about crimes against humanity like this Those are barbaric actions! How terrible!!

RE: what should america do about all of the child immigrants

Oh, if only everyone could be more like the person I've come to admire more than anyone else in history, Lydia Smith. She live during the USA's civil war period, a poor black women.

She must have had a tremendous, immeasurable, capacity to forgive, love and help others as, I believe, she spent even her own meager life savings doing charitable things for confederate and union military personnel in hospitals and on and off various battlefields.

I wish I could have met her.

With that in mind, I believe we have the capacity to address and resolve this crisis involving mostly discarded children from very corrupt countries. The biggest impediment though, is getting on our politicians to put politics aside and work together for solutions to end this human tragedy.

Well, as far as science applying to relationships, I think i''m so far opposite from everyone else active on the CS forums that I repel instead of attract. And the actual Science applied to global warming is just as far out there".........

RE: what's the shortest marriage you know of?

Increasing self-centered cultural development maybe especially for the baby boomers who don't have another 30-40 years to replenish what they might lose in another marriage?
Pre-nuptial agreements don't have a good track record either.

RE: did you cry when you were born and why...?

I popped into this fantastic world 12 minutes and 12 seconds past midnight on July 8, 1952 thirsty as hell and telling religious and ethnic jokes in North American English, Greek and Latin languages.. ...

They fit me in eye glasses at 11 months to allow me crawl around without running into things. At age six I considered organizing my own rat pack. Was eligible for the military draft during the Vietnam conflict, but wasn't allowed to vote. Married twice, retired at 55 and now can't decide what to do next. Bored.
