    Considering eric has previously advocated for the shooting of dinghys to stop migrants and that'd he'd prefer migrants were murdered than be made share a landmass with them I don't think he has any issue with kids being separated and caged.

    He can answer, and then we'll know what kind of person he is, and in what regard he holds his own children, if he has any.

    Or he won't answer, and we'll assume what kind of person that he is, because whatever else I am, I do not support a government taking my children away from me if I were to cross into that country, I would actively fight them with any and all resources that I have, I would tear down that country piece by piece and I would ensure that those in charge of such a policy suffered as much as possible, because, for me, my children are more important than my politics. For Eric, Dave, and QB, they are putting an orange fart above their own family, and we can judge them appropriately for it. We'll also know, factually, that their opinions are worth less than other people who do put their families first.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    The argument that Biden locks human beings into cages in a nicer way than Trump kind of misses the point lads.

    It's OK to admit that caging immigrants is wrong.

    Well actually it doesn’t at all. The point was that it’s been the same since Obama but it hasn’t been at all. That was the point, now you of course are free to have another point but in this conversation that was the point.

    Fair enough. I suppose my point is that there is no justification for locking humans seeking a better life into cages like animals. People defending it depending on which President they support are clutching at straws.

    Good thing no one is doing that then.

    So now the cages don't exist at all. Cool.

    Not sure anyone here supported that at all and in fact one person that I’m sure you’d consider a Biden supporter has been quite clear on it.

    You can reply to my detailed post about that earlier by answering the first of my three questions, or you can choose to continue to ignore my post. Your choice.

    Someone above has denied its happening at all.

    Are people being locked in cages or not, and is it wrong?

    The mental gymnastics people do to support their political affiliations is embarrassing really.

    No, I said no one here would defend such actions.

    So you won't be replying to my post then? You're just going to keep asking people the same question even though you've already been given a detailed response to that question which you aren't replying to?

    Yes it’s wrong and again you didn’t understand what the poster meant

    Example from myself, where do I justify it?
    Eh, that article specifically states they aren't engaging in the separation policy... I object to putting children or adults being put in cages. But the policy is still tangibly different to the previous administration... And I would say parents who have no real idea where their child is as a result of the Trump administration would say that the difference is substantial.

    You've detailed why it happened. Your conclusion is it was the right move to cage them. And republicans made it worse. Ground breaking stuff.

    It's still wrong.

    I never accused you of justifying it. I haven't replied to a single post of yours.

    Well then reply to the three questions I asked.

    Well then reply to the three questions I asked.

    1. Not caged them.
    2. Judging by my complaint that I don't agree with caging people, the answer is obvious.
    3. Same as above.

    You are saying it was right to cage them. Said no one here defends such actions, yet your detailed post is designed to show why Obama had to do it. That's defending it.


  • Posts: 6,559 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I never accused you of justifying it. I haven't replied to a single post of yours.

    The thing is, you've actively engaged in the topic as if posters are justifying it. They are not but it is substantially different to the previous administration's handling of it. And an improvement, not radical enough but still substantially different.

    No, I am saying it was right to keep them in a detention centre temporarily until better accommodation was found.

    You didn't actually answer my first question, have another go. Unless you are saying they should have slept on a bench outside?

    A poster above wrote a detailed post on why it was the correct move to cage people during the Obama administration.

    So you are clearly saying the cages are justified then. So I was right.

    Was Obama right to use cages?


  • Posts: 8,874 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    So you are clearly saying the cages are justified then. So I was right.

    I've never once mentioned the word cages, but you can keep dodging the question if you like.

    For what I believe is the sixth time of asking, what should Obama have done differently given the circumstances? And the answer is not "not what he did". I'm asking you, what was the other option he should have taken?

    Well hello new poster, do you support the enforced separation of children from their parents (including making those children orphans due to not keeping records) as a way to discourage immigration?

    Put them in facilities that weren't cruelly designed cages and show some humanity.

    You labelling them as something different doesn't mean they weren't cages. Why do not call them cages?

    Given that I'm against the ill treatment of immigrant, and every post I've made reflects that, why in gods name would I support that? Are you assuming because I am against caging immigrants that I must be a Trump supporter? Doesn't make sense.

    And if such facilities weren't available at the time, which was the case, what should have been done?
