When are people going to learn that NOTHING is "free"?

Why aren’t Americans flocking over their southern border trying to get a piece of this action and make their lives better?!

Southern border? Did you fail geography?

 

[Devo182]

Off topic, the racial divide, the have and have nots. Blue vs red polical parties, etc. are classic examples.

Much of it is a choice sadly (though maybe subconscious many times).

Tribalism.

Us vs them talk.

Demonization of "the others".

That‘s really all it boils down to. Us vs them. Watch it Devo, if we don’t watch it, we’ll be kicked off to the Off Thread topic thread.

I don't know. We've got a fairly strong ironic clown game here in the US.

You may be right, but I would say that we suffer mostly earnest clowns.

They were talking about Canada. If Americans flocked over their Southern border, they'd be going to Mexico. Canada is to our North. So what am I missing?

He's talking about Canada's souther border. "Their" being Canada.

But he said "Americans".

He said "over" not "to". Go back and read it.

It's as clear as crystal. Have you fallen and hit your brain cell again?

"Why aren't Americans flocking over their southern border"

If Americans flock over their southern border, where are they? Mexico, not Canada.

The sentence structure implies "their" refers to "Americans". Not sure what they taught in your English class, but that's what I was taught. Either change "their" to Canada, or simply drop the adjective "southern".

No it doesn't. Canada was implied. I don't have time for your tom foolery.

I'm not the one being a tom fool. Where are the VN English professors??

I've seen probably a dozen quotes from UK people dogging her and the entire family. And this is from someone who has tried to avoid any and all discussion about the England Kardashians from lack of interest.

I am sure she has her detractors. I know that people think the whole idea is ridiculous. US taxpayers pay to support plenty of idiots too.

If a Powell High grad has to explain something to you, I am not sure you have any hope at all.

He explained it incorrectly. I still contend I was correct.
